’50-’51 Blackguard Pickups
The Fender Custom Shop ’50-’51 Blackguard Pickups pickups are faithful recreations of quite possibly the most historically important electric guitar pickups ever to be produced… the set that started it all. Constructed using period-correct fibre bobbins and cloth wire, flush (no stagger) Alnico 3 magnets with Enamel-coated magnet wire and a Tin-plated Copper base plate, these vintage-accurate pickups produce the esteemed shimmer and twang that early Teles are famed for. These medium-output pickups produce a balanced tone with a clear and focused midrange and a tight low-end, and work well with all playing styles.
Fender Custom Shop
The Fender Dream Factory… Fender’s best luthiers, using the best materials and tools all under one roof with the single unified mission of building the best guitars that Fender has ever produced. Founded in 1987, the Custom Shop was established to take Fender’s manufacturing back to its roots with smaller production numbers and higher quality. Famed for pushing Leo’s designs to their absolute limits, the Custom Shop is the benchmark to which all other Fender electric guitars are compared to!Key Features
Compound Radius – With its rounder 7.25’’ radius by the nut and flatter 9.5’’ radius from the 12th fret, this Tele offers maximum comfort up and down the neck.
Journeyman Relic Nitro Finish – Expertly aged and relic’d to look like it has been your most prized possession for over 50 years. Lightly aged and checkered with some honest playwear, but generally in a condition that shows this guitar was meticulously looked after and cherished.
10/56 V -Fender’s 10/56 neck profile starts off as a Soft V profile towards the nut, then rounds out to a C profile as you go up the neck. It’s the perfect profile for those who play rhythm and lead!

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.
