Authentic '72 Wide Range clone of the original 1972
Fender Wide Range humbucker with real threaded rod magnets and all
American made parts!
Most are not aware of the differences
between the original Wide Range humbucker from the 70's and the reissue
version of today. The main difference is the magnet structure. The
original Wide Range humbucker used actual threaded rod magnets straight
through the bobbins whereas the reissue version uses fake threaded poles
that are magnetized by a bar magnet across the bottom. The result of
the reissue Wide Range is a much darker sounding humbucker with less
chime and clarity as compared to the original.
The Mojotone '72
Wide Range clone humbucker completely captures that original sound with
some overall improvements from the original design like a slightly
underwound neck pickup for a more balanced neck to bridge pickup tone,
and 4-conductor wiring for more tone options such as coil tapping and
series/parallel wiring. Fully vacuum potted. Available in Chrome only
with mounting hardware. Fits original, reissue and Squier '72 Teles
only. Does not fit standard humbucker routes.
Please
note that the original Wide Range equipped Tele's from the 70's used 1
Meg potentiometers unlike the reissues today that come with 250k pots.
For the best tone, it is recommended that you upgrade your electronics
to our '72 Tele wiring harness kit which utilizes 500k CTS
potentiometers. We find 1 Meg pots too bright and sterile sounding
compared to 500k which gives a rounder more full tone to these pickups.
If
you don't want change electronics on your reissue, we offer a lower
output Wide Range humbucker voiced specifically for reissue '72 teles
that come stock with 250k pots.
