I've always thought the teles use ceramics like the strats do when they made the change. Some folks say ceramic, some say they still use alnico on the standard teles. Also, does anyone remember what year the strats started using ceramics?

To my knowledge, the MIM Standard Teles and Strats have always used ceramic pickups since they debuted in the early 90's. Since 2006, Fender started to make them a little hotter, but still used ceramic magnets.

I've owned a total of 3 MIM Standard Teles, and 1 Standard Strat and loved the stock pickups in all of them. I did put a set of Duncans in that Strat back when i had it, but i've never changed the pickups in any of the 3 Teles that i've owned. To me they just spank :)
