Oil City: little (ish) checks for big poles! (Groan)

OilCityPickups

OilCityPickups Frets: 10390

September 2015 in Made in the UK tFB Trader

My new 1/4 inch pole Oil City Liquidator Tele set ... 10k neck 12k bridge, alnico 5... fat and full, but still with single coil bite and very definitely 'twang' with the gain rolled off a little. Rock, heavy rock, metal ... all work with these beasties.

Then PM me @ThePPrettyDamned ... you just got to beta test them!
The prototype set in the pics will be winging their way to you.

Top flatwork is too large ... in order to get all those windings on

Okay, they're wired in - but I made a right mess of the nut, so I can't comment on tone!

I'll get the guitar to a tech asap. Tomorrow possibly
