What Makes American Original 70's Telecaster Unique - Seth Lover's Vision
Many among you recognize the virtue of having a humbucker in the neck position & a single coil pickup at the bridge.
That is what this Fender American Original ‘70s Telecaster Custom solid body electric guitar has in itself.
Back in 70s, when fender was trying to enter the market with their own humbucking pickup.
They hired the legendary designer of humbucking pickup, Seth Lover, who designed an exceptional and distinct dual coil pickup.
The exclusive feature about this pickup was that it was made out of a material called CuNiFe which is copper (Cu), nickel (Ni) and iron (Fe) that helps in creating brilliant, clear and bell like humbucking sound.
The original concept of this CuNiFe magnets were that, that they were initially designed as the screws to support the pole pieces which was really unique.
Therefore, the Seth lover wanted these pickups to have a Fender touch in it so he put a lot of top-end on them and sparkle and included a lot of bottom end as well resulting in a very distinctive fender tone for a humbucker.
