Fender expands CuNiFe line?

Post by spawnofthesith »

I was doing my weekly scan of new arrivals on Wildwoods website and saw that CuNiFe strat and jazzmaster sets were available... did a double take as I thought that was just the WRHB thing, looks like they're letting that magnet type escape from the lab though

I wonder how the strat set sounds. Happy with the v-mods in my am pro II, but I'm now having impure thougts :hmm:

Our site is evil... I too was wondering what they sound like :lol:
If we get anything in with these installed I'll be on my way to play them.

:lol:

I bet, especially a shop of WW's caliber ;)


I guess I better hunt down some clips. I'm curious if the strat set retain's the "stratty" character or if it sounds completely different :confused:

I'm interested in these pickups, but the name reminds me of the Poop Knife story.

Cool vid from Andertons. Liked what I heard in the Strat. And they have a FeCrCo alloy for the Tele. Jazzmaster has both CuNiFe WRHB style and FeCrCo bridge and CuNiFe neck singles also for the Jazzmaster. That Strat set could be awesome in a project guitar… :hmm:
