Today, Fender is giving players a new way to get closer to John Osborne’s unmistakable Telecaster tone with the launch of the John Osborne Signature Telecaster Pickups.
Watch as John Osborne discusses his Telecaster pickups:
Designed to replicate the tone behind Osborne’s signature sound, the custom pickups deliver sparkling highs, focused mids and tight bass for enhanced clarity, punch and the ability to cut through a mix. The open-coil neck pickup adds an extra touch of high-end sparkle, while Alnico 5 beveled magnets and Formvar magnet wire bring added focus, dynamics and brightness.
Built with vintage-inspired details including flush-mount polepieces, period-correct cloth wire and fiber bobbin construction, the pickups blend classic Tele character with Osborne’s modern, hard-driving voice.
John Osborne Telecaster® Pickups, Set of 2 (MSRP: $149.99 £139 GBP, €159 EUR, $249 AUD, ¥27,500 JPY):
Voiced to replicate John Osborne's signature tone, these custom Telecaster® pickups are specially designed to deliver enhanced clarity and punch, perfectly balanced to cut through the mix with sparkling highs, focused mids, and tight bass response. An open-coil neck pickup adds a bit of high-end sparkle to the neck position.
