Blackguard Tele® Series - 68 Stagger tele
Based on player requests for Telecaster® tones from specific eras and backed up by meticulous research, the Blackguard Tele® Series is a collection of four classic Tele® sets ranging from the original 'blackguard' Teles® of 1950 through to later 1968 models.
Grey bottomed flatwork, smaller diameter magnets and a much lighter wind characterise this early CBS era Tele® set. The brightest and most focused of the four sets in the series, the '68 Stagger coils have serious bite in the high-end with an extremely percussive tone and lively dynamic. The matched wind of 42AWG bridge and 43AWG plain enamel neck is absolutely perfect for rosewood board Teles®, producing a tight and ferocious tone.
