The FTC is different from our FT in that we designed it with ceramic magnets. The rest of the design is the same; custom engineered coil size and windings which give a fullness and broader bandwidth that Tele pickups never had before. All of this combines to give you a tone that is incredibly well balanced; rich and sweet on the bottom, and with the addition of ceramic magnets, a top end that has even more pronounced shimmer than the FT. The FTC has brilliance, clarity, and tone with clean quiet power.
