In early 2020, Fender reissued the wide range humbucker with authentic CuNiFe magnets. Can anyone confirm which Fender models currently use this pickup, instead of non-CuNiFe pickups that look similar (but which Fender also advertises as a "wide range humbucker")?
I believe the current American-made Tele Thinline, Tele Deluxe and Tele Custom models have the CuNiFe reissue WRHB -- Fender's website descriptions for these guitars make a point about the CuNiFe magnets. I assume Fender would have used, beginning in 2020, the CuNiFe reissue WRHB on its Custom Shop guitars with that type of pick-up. I believe the current Mexican-made Vintera models of the Tele Deluxe and Tele Custom do not have the CuNiFe reissue WRHB (but instead used Alnico humbuckers that look like WRHBs).
Here are the current Fender models I could find that have a WRHB pickup.
American Vintage II 1972 Telecaster Thinline
American Vintage II 1975 Telecaster Deluxe
American Original 70s Telecaster Custom
Vintera '70s Telecaster Deluxe
Vintera '70s Telecaster Custom
