Kinman Pickups
Kinman '52 Blackguard Tele Pickup Set
The Kinman '52 Blackguard Tele Set captures the soul of the early 1950s Telecaster — clear, dynamic, and musical — but without the hum. This set features the Impersonator 52b bridge and a newly developed Impersonator 52n neck, specially voiced to differ from the Broadcaster set with a slightly smoother attack and rounder tone.
Designed for players who prefer subtlety and touch sensitivity, the Blackguard set delivers vintage Tele charm with a warm bottom end, a clear but not overly bright top, and a soft, expressive response. It’s the perfect choice for those seeking authentic “old world” tone with modern reliability and Kinman’s patented Zero-Hum technology.
Expect genuine vintage Tele character — not ice-pick highs, but rich harmonics, detail, and balance that respond beautifully to every nuance of your playing.
