ABOUT THE LARRY CRAGG CUSTOM FRALIN PICKUP:
Most of you will know Larry Cragg as Neil Young's long time guitar tech. He started with Neil in the 1970s. Cragg commissioned Lindy Fralin to create a custom Telecaster pickup which is not available as a standard model on the Fralin website. These pickups feature a hybrid magnet structure with Alnico V magnets under the bass strings for punch and Alnico II under the treble strings for smoothness. They are also 5% overwound to boost output while retaining clarity. The result delivers enhanced richness and an "extra helping of tone" over standard pickups, avoiding ice-pick highs while providing Tele twang with added depth across strings.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:
We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.
We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us to ask any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
