'52 BlackGuard Tele set
Blackguard Tele set with Impersonator 52b bridge & Impersonator 52n neck developed specially for this set to be different to the Broadcaster set which has slightly more presence n snap. Do you like a subtle and a sensual feel? The Blackguard set has Old World Tele charm, clear and not too bright with slightly less sharp attack and a full bottom end. Still with plenty of twang and piano mid-tones. Zero-Hum and wax potted for Zero microphonic screech. However, be aware that magnetic steel bridges compromise the hum cancelling ability of our Tele bridge pickups. The solution is a non-magnetic Stainless Steel bridge made by Glendale Guitars in Texas. They make 4 different kinds of Tele bridge with various Cut-Aways designed for comfort. Highly recommended. https://glendaleguitars.com/stainless-steel/
We recommend you scroll to the Technical & Application Info section below for important stuff you should know about the new Neck pickup. Technical & Application info:Some people will call these noiseless Telecaster pickups but Kinman prefers to describe them correctly as Zero-Hum Telecaster pickups. That's because there are 2 types of noise, Hum which is cancelled in the pickup and Buzz which can only be minimized by shielding the wiring cavities (refer to >Technical >Perfect Guitar >Shielding for newer guitars

We highly recommend consulting the Install Guide in Tech Info even if you think you know it all. Kinmans' require specialized knowledge and sometimes there is updated info. There is also a handy wiring diagram available. We also highly recommend consulting the Adjust & Set-up page in Tech Info so you get the best out of your Kinman pickups. ** Alnico-K is a unique proprietary Alnico rod magnet developed by Kinman in 1985. It is Alnico-5 but has 40% less string pull than Alnico-5 so sustain is longer and there is much less clatter from string crash and no Strat-itis string warble. * Fender and Telecaster and Tele are registered Trade Marks of Fender Musical Instrument Corp, Inc.
