Personalised multi-point setup included

Before dispatch, your instrument will be treated to a full setup. That's not a quick tweak, but a full multi-point setup by an experienced guitar technician who will check and adjust every single thing on your guitar, bass, ukulele or banjo to ensure it is performing at its absolute best.

This is not a quick process but we believe every instrument should go through our process to acheive an exacting standard of playability.

Frets

We start with the frets on your instrument. All guitar necks move and change over time so we will make sure that your frets are nice and flat as we go up the neck. We don't want any high or low spots as this will mean your guitar will need a higher than optimum action and potentially suffer with fret buzz.

We check and properly profile the playing surface of the frets and then make sure the fret ends are finished off properly. The fret is then polished to ensure smooth string bending.

Truss Rod

Then it's on to the truss rod. This metal rod differs from guitar to guitar (some guitars such as classical guitars don't usually have a truss rod!) and basically controls the "relief" or curve of the neck. Not enough relief and your strings won't have enough clearance over the other frets when playing. Too much relief and you'll have a high action which gets worse as you go up the neck.

The heavier the strings then the more the truss rod needs to work. Proper adjustment in the workshop means that the action will be just right for the strings fitted to your guitar.

Top Nut

The top nut is super important and is one of the two open contact points of your guitar. The technician will check and cut each slot to make sure the strings both run freely but are not sitting in a slot that's too big.

The top nut also plays a big part in the action of your guitar so we'll hit that sweet spot between too low and too high.

Saddle(s)

Another really important part of your guitar!

On an acoustic, the saddle is cut to the correct height making sure the bottom is 100% flat and straight. This means the string can transfer its vibration properly into the body of your guitar.

For electric guitars, the saddles are adjusted to ensure your intonation is perfect. We will also match the saddles to the radius of your fretboard.

Bridge / Tremolo

The bridge affects the break angle and string height of your guitar and is also responsible for holding your saddles.

For a guitar with a Floyd Rose tremolo system or similar, the spring tension has to be just right to allow the tremolo to return to its "zero point" and keep everything in tune.

For guitars with standard tremolos, we can set it to float and be used both up or down like a true tremolo or we can lock the trem block back so the tremolo will only go downwards.... the choice is yours!

Intonation

Intonation is the measure of how in-tune the guitar string is across the length of the fretboard and a guitar with badly set intonation will get more and more out of tune as the string is shortened when you play.

Tiny adjustments are made to each string where applicable to adjust its length and ensure that the intonation is set just right.

Overall Action

Once all the above has been completed, the guitar is checked for playability and fine adjustments are made. This step brings everything together and means your guitar will be set up optimally.

Machine Heads

Every machine head is operated and checked for function. We need to ensure that the machine heads operate smoothly.

Electrics

All the functions of your guitar are checked to ensure everything is working as intended.

For acoustic guitars we will check the functions of the EQ system and controls as well as check the internal cabling and jack socket.

For electric guitars, all the pickups are checked for function and tonal response. All controls and switches are operated to ensure they are functioning properly. The jack socket is checked.

Other Parts

All other parts such as strap pins, bushings, tuning buttons etc are fully checked.

Dispatch

All our instruments get the same premium treatment whether you purchase online or instore.

If you have purchased online, your guitar will be carefully packed ready for dispatch. You will receive a tracking link via email.

Happy playing :)

Description

Turn up the heat and give your electric guitar a powerful sonic edge with the Fender Custom Shop Red Hot Telecaster Pickup Set.

Engineered for players who demand classic single-coil articulation but need maximum power, this premium, calibrated neck and bridge pair delivers scorching output, an aggressive mid-range bark, and a sizzling high-end response. It provides an immediate upgrade path for musicians who want to push their valve amplifier into a rich, natural overdrive directly from the instrument, without losing core single-coil definition.

Every pickup in this set is constructed in the USA using top-tier materials and traditional techniques to guarantee exceptional dynamic sensitivity and structural longevity. Fender combines a high-voltage, overwound coil configuration with a hybrid magnet matrix tailored specifically to each position. This design approach produces a thick, driving signal that breathes new life into rhythm parts and allows single-note lead lines to stand out clearly in a heavy live mix or complex studio recording track.

Position-Specific Hybrid Magnet Architecture

Rather than utilising a uniform magnet configuration across the entire set, the Red Hot set incorporates a specialised combination of magnetic alloys to balance your instrument's natural frequency response. The bridge pickup features high-grade Alnico 5 slug magnets, which add tight low-end focus, sharp transient attack, and enhanced dynamic snap. In contrast, the neck pickup uses Alnico 2 magnets, providing a smoother high-end roll-off, a warm, vocal picking response, and a highly musical mid-range presence that is ideal for soulful lines and rich chords.

Overwound Design with Enamel-Coated Wire

The primary engineering driver behind the intense presence of this set is its high-density overwound coil architecture. Both components are wound with premium enamel-coated magnet wire, which naturally emphasises a fatter, mid-forward character while retaining vital single-coil clarity. Pushing the DC resistance up to a robust 12.66k ohms in the bridge position, this high-output calibration hits the input stage of your amplifier with extra force, encouraging earlier tube breakup and delivering long, singing sustain.

Premium Custom Shop Component Appointments

Built with unwavering attention to professional hardware standards, these pickups incorporate authentic, road-tested construction details throughout. They are assembled on traditional fibre bobbins and feature flush-mount pole pieces that create a balanced, vintage-style string-to-string audio blending. The entire set is deeply wax potted to stabilise the fine internal wire wraps, effectively suppressing microphonic feedback and whistling when performing at high stage volumes. Each set is finished with durable cloth-covered push-back lead wires that resist heat damage and keep the internal electronics cavity perfectly tidy during installation.
