At the moment I'm winding pickups into the wee small hours I'm soooooo busy, so it's going to have to be a bit of a 'round to it' job doing more clips ... they take up an insane amount of time to do well.
As a one man business my priority has to be getting the stuff out that has been ordered.
I believe the clip of the HardMan was driving the clean channel of my Laney LC30 quite hard ... at 4 or 5 volume wise. So a basically a spitting tube amp driven with a pokey pickup

last question the  Calibre .53 and shortly Calibre .532 sets you mentioned are these for strat or teles?!?!

Now got to go away and decide what I need tele wise...

OilCityPickups

Strats ... though plans are under way for a .52 Tele Bridge.

bigdawg

with an Alnico 3??

OilCityPickups

.52 ... alnico 5 bass strings alnico 2 treble.

last question... honest - the honky tonk neck - output??

Ive got to say Ive looked at the twin magnet pups before but being left handed they wouldnt work properly, in fact would have the total opposite effect to what it should!

I think you are going for an award with the left hand pickup thing as I wind them for you, all you need to do is request a left handed set and you will get the magnets the other way around. No extra charge.

Humbucker size Single-coil: possible?

Single coil as in strat or P90?
I was thinking strat.

OilCityPickups

East enough to put a 50mm spaced Strat pickup in that cover

ddlooping

I got an idea, will give you a call tomorrow if that's ok.

The Thames Delta Tele neck and Cow-T-Ron arrived safe and sound and I have just had time to fit them.  The Thames Delta is lovely, smooth, punchy, but not too bright - like it.

The Cow-T-Ron is on another level however, I was so disappointed with the stock Fender Enforcer in my 'hog Tele that I had a sound in my head, wasn't totally sure how to find it and hoped this would be close.  My friend you have totally nailed it!  It is everything I wanted to hear and a bit more.

If anyone is looking for great pickups, 'phone or email Ash. Quality and service above and beyond the norm.

Cheers,  Richard
