Fender even make Cunife Wide Range humbuckers available now to buy separately (opens in new tab) if you want the real deal. But unlike those latter two designs Wide Range inspired pickups are often available in standard humbucker-sized casing so you can retro-fit them without getting the router out. The result can be kind of best of both worlds result that places these in our holy trinity of underrated and versatile pickups every player needs to try at least once alongside Firebird and Mini humbuckers. These can be adjusted individually to 'EQ' each string, and the result is what some call a fat and doubled single-coil sound. The Wide Range humbucker is different to traditional humbucker design in that it uses individual threaded Cunife magnets as opposed to a traditional humbucker 'bar' magnet. Before that third-party makers including The Creamery in the UK, have been able to get close to the original sonic blueprint through meticulous design, but now Fender has sourced supply of the Cunife magnets needed to replicate the originals. Full disclosure Cunife pickups actually made their return to production guitars on the 2020 '70s Tele Custom in the recent American Original Series.
