WILKINSON VINTAGE ALNICO TELECASTER BRIDGE PICKUP OPEN COVER - BLACK

Wilkinson’s R Series Caliber 5052 WVOB utilises all the knowledge we have garnered from producing pickups for over two decades, the Caliber 5052 WVOB is our closest replica of the classic T bridge pickup from the early 1950’s.

While a very uncomplicated unit in construction capturing the exact tone and twang of the 50’s T bridge pickup requires a mixture of ingredients and careful construction techniques, our Caliber 5052 WVOB uses a copper plated steel keeper plate, 5mm diameter Alnico V magnets, and black fiber top and bottom plates that are dipped in clear lacquer before being air dried, winding with AWG42 gauge wire each pickup is wax potted and wrapped in black cotton.

The Caliber 5052 WVOB delivers a full powerful T tone from its flat flush pole design, bright but full bodied this pickup cuts through with classic twang.
