History of the Fender 1959 Telecaster guitar and pickups.:
The history of 1959 era Telecaster guitar pickups has become tied to perhaps the most powerful rock guitar tones ever produced by a Telecaster. Of course I'm referring to the now iconic tones that Jimmy Page produced with his 1959 top loading Telecaster on the Led Zeppelin I album. Originally gifted to Jimmy Page by Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page's 1959 Telecaster tone owes much of its magic to the tonal properties 1959 era Telecaster pickups. 1959 era Telecaster pickups distinguish themselves as being among the most consistently higher resistance Telecaster pickups of the 1950's Fender era. This higher resistance is paired with staggered Alnico 5 bridge pickup rod magnets that are longer than their earlier 50's flat pole bridge pickup brother. The combination of this larger total mass of Alnico V magnets with a higher resistance reading make for a Telecaster that will twang but will also fatten when driven into Rock distortion tones. In addition the hand wound nature of a 1959 Telecaster pickups adds to a more open low end response with notes blooming after the initial pick attack. Whether an Ash bodied 1959 Telecaster or a Alder bodied 1959 Telecaster Custom the 1959 era Fender Telecaster pickups are know for bringing the power.
