Pickup Overview
These pickups are aimed at wringing the last ounce of tone from your Tele. Hard-edged brittle tones with real warmth, depth and clarity.
The Steel Foundry is an amazing traditional pickup for the Telecaster, with loads of punchy twang. The neck pickup is outstanding for fluid bluesy runs. Overwound versions provide a little more kick when you want to drive your amp harder for lead work.
For the bridge, you can have any colour you like — as long as it's black. For the neck, you can have any colour you like — as long as it's chrome.

What Players Are Saying
"Steel Foundry — what a difference from the stock fuzzy pickup sound. Although I wasn't particularly unhappy with the sound of the guitar, I was persuaded to upgrade. To all Squier owners — try these pickups, you won't be disappointed." — Ken, Edinburgh
"I recently took delivery of the Alchemist 90 and Steel Foundry pickups for an old Squier Fat Tele which I loved the feel of. Suffice to say, it sounds amazing now. The Steel Foundry sounds more Tele than ever, bright and cutting and super-twangy." — Paul Wilson, Edinburgh
"My old Tele had stock pickups that sounded thin. The Steel Foundry brought it to life with proper twang and a much richer neck pickup." — Tele player
