New Squiers! (Tele content)

[Tig***]

I've not heard good things about the Fender Wide-Range humbuckers; apparently they're very thin sounding.

So very true.

The magic tone of the original Wide Range Humbuckers with CuNiFe magnets was never captured by the later and recent Fender versions.
The only alternative to spending a huge amount for originals would be the Telenator CuNiFe's or sending them your new ones for a mod. They aren't cheap, but it beats paying for the originals.
