This is a reproduction of the original, with pole pieces made of CuNiFe magnets. It's said to have a truly wide range from high to low, with a bell-like resonance, and it really does feel that way. It was a direct fit on a Fender MIJ Thinline without any modifications. I am not able to negotiate on the price. Thank you for your understanding. ※Note Wide Range Humbuckers are about twice as large as regular humbuckers and have a 4-point screw mount, so they cannot be installed in a regular humbucker route or with a standard escutcheon. You will need to expand the route and use a pickguard mount or some other method. Please research the dimensions thoroughly before purchasing. #fender #fender #telecaster #telecaster #widerangehumbucker #cunife #funkojisan
