Yes. Both are hand-wound or hand-ground to period specifications with Alnico 5 magnets, vintage cloth braid wire, and aged covers that replicate original 1950s hardware and tone character.
Can I use just one of these pickups, or do they work best as a pair?
You can use either individually, but they're designed as a matched set to deliver period-correct 1955 Telecaster voicing when used together. Many players buy both to get the full neck-and-bridge tonal palette.
Will these fit my 1955 Telecaster without modification?
