Blackguard Tele® Series - Flat '50 tele
BUY ONLINE handwound just for you
Based on player requests for Telecaster® tones from specific eras and backed up by meticulous research, the Blackguard Tele® Series is a collection of four classic Tele® sets ranging from the original 'blackguard' Teles® of 1950 through to later 1968 models.
Scatter-wound by hand with 43AWG plain enamel wire on both bridge and neck, these coils are pure Broadcaster heaven. This is the hottest of the four sets (Flat ‘50, Flat ‘52, ‘55 Stagger and ‘68 Stagger) with a thicker zinc plated steel baseplate, flat profile magnets and authentic vintage 'flat top' deep-drawn brass cover; the Flat 50s have a simply massive sound. Chunky bottom-end and snarling mids create a throaty tone with excellent natural sustain that can really push a tube amp hard.
