  • 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 soft-ish attack and a full bottom end. Has old Tele magic and not so bright as modern pickups. We recommend you scroll to the Technical & Application Info section below for important stuff you should know about the new Neck pickup. Some people will call these noiseless Telecaster pickups but Kinman prefers to describe them correctly as Zero-Hum Telecaster pickups.
  • Brad Paisley has a lot of love for our Gen-1 AVn-48b, it's his favorite pickup. And now there is this even better new Gen-2 model. The sound of the Gen-2 is even more authentic early Tele, focused with rich tonal complexity and one teriffic twang factor and a lotta air, bell and presence. And, like the original Broadcaster it has a moderately aggressive attitude.
  • Patented advanced design to give you better sound with Zero-Hum. We recommend you scroll to the Technical & Application Info section below for important stuff you should know about this new model.  
  • The all NEW Gen-2 version is very different to the original 1st generation design. We recommend you scroll to the Technical & Application Info section below for important stuff you should know about this new model.

  • Designed especially for excellent volume balance with a neck Humbucker this Gen-2 ultra high output single pole bridge pickup with the thump and output level of a P-90 does just that. Our new Tele Neck Blaster and our P90-Bucker are great companion neck pickups for this gutsy bridge pickup. Gen-2 is generation two, a new design utilizing our Patented magnetic focusing device that increases the efficiency of the coil. It's a blast!!!
  • Do you want heavier and focused tone with lots of dynamics, drive and attitude? Brad Paisleys favorite pickups and you will feel confidently in charge of your guitar sounds too. This set has authentic single coil high end cut and growls more than the twangy 60's Custom set. The excellent dynamic range will delight Tele players who want powerful punch. The middle position of the selector switch produces an intense cluck that some players have said is "to die for". We recommend you scroll to the Technical & Application Info section below for important stuff you should know about the new Neck pickup. The all NEW Gen-2 version neck pickup is very different to it's original 1st generation predecessor. The taller coil, longer magnets and Kinmanusa's patented magnetic focusing device produces non-aged sound which is much more alive and open. The sound is punchier with increased dynamic range for more fluid touch sensitivity (strings feel more relaxed). It's louder and brighter too so it will have to be adjusted somewhat away from the strings to balance with it's companion AVn-48b bridge pickup. Thanks to our new Chrome plated Nickel-Silver cover the neck pickup is not muffled as the original 60's Fender was, has open and clear Fender sound (real Chrome plated for extra durability and does not produce buzz when touched with your finger tips). It has an arched top to allow staggered magnets for superb string loudness balance including the G-3rd.  
  • You will get Zero-Hum 1952 Esquire Tele sound with this fantastic Gen-2 Tele bridge pickup. Gen-2 is generation two, a new design. The sound of Alnico-2 magnets with a fat coil, like the genuine article made in 1952. Old world Tele sound, clear and not too bright. Less sharp attack and a complete bottom end. Remains well defined under high gain amp distortion.  
  • All NEW Gen-2 Impersonator 52n incorporates newly developed technology and specially made parts engineered to produce our first Tele neck pickup with loud Non-Aged-Sound. We recommend you switch to the Technical Tab to the right for the important stuff you should know about this new model. The sound it produces is non-aged, which means quite dynamic and alive. Behaves like a new non-noiseless pickup and tends to resist crunching too easily under heavy pick attack. Highs with a lot of presence, soft-edged twangy midrange with highly prominent piano mid-tones and lovely deep bass .... and it's loud and punchy.
  • So you love badass growly distorted humbucker sounds from the bridge position but hate the idea of modifying your Telecaster? Well, here is your love/hate solution!!! Our impressive Kick-in-the-Arse humbucker is built into a Tele bridge pickup. No need to drastically modify anything ,,, just chuck it in and get badass growly humbucker or P-90 sounds from your Tele, and it will deliver a real kick in the arse.

  • Naturally, as the name implies, it is the fully balanced companion pickup for the wonderful Bridge Blaster, and it has the sonic character to match. Lots of thick-sounding thumps from the low wound strings and noticeably darker sweet plain strings, even in the high register. It's also good as a companion pickup for PAF-type bridge humbuckers and P-90s.
