Fender Tone Saver – 250K If you experience tonal change when turning down the volume control on your guitar, the Fender Tone Saver is a great solution. Unlike traditional treble bleed circuits that involve connecting tiny parts together with delicate soldering, the Tone Saver contains a special R/C network inside one convenient enclosure that will keep your guitar’s tone remarkably consistent at any setting. Just solder the leads to the center and outside lugs of your guitar’s volume control and you’re done.   Fender Custom Shop Hand-Wound Texas Special Single-Coil (Bridge: 6.56K) redefined hot Texas blues tone with overwound, calibrated construction for scorching output. Built with enamel-coated magnet wire for warm vintage tone, staggered pole pieces for balanced output, and Alnico 5 magnets for focused mids, enhanced dynamics, tight bass, and crystalline highs—all in one powerhouse pickup. Fender Custom Shop Hand-Wound Fat ‘50s Single-Coil (Middle: 6.34K) delivers vintage-inspired tone with enhanced bass, smooth highs, and no harsh mids—featuring Formvar magnet wire, hand-beveled staggered Alnico V magnets for balanced output and dynamic response, plus a reverse-wound, reverse-polarity middle pickup for hum cancelation in positions 2. Fender Custom Shop Hand-Wound ‘69 Single-Coil (Neck: 5.4K) deliver the clear, punchy sound of late-’60s blues rock, heard from Monterey to Woodstock. Built with enamel-coated magnet wire for vintage-style tone, staggered pole pieces for balanced output, and Alnico 5 magnets for better focus and dynamics, these pickups work well with pedals—keeping the low end solid and the highs sharp.
