Oil City Workshop clearout continued:
Time to clear yet more dead wood from the workshop:
Set of Masterwound prototype high output Strat humbuckers ... these are around 16k and were fitted to our demo Strat. Neck is still very Stratty ... but of course silent, and the bridge and middle can do some very good Iron Maiden impressions. They are quite a tight fit in a Strat scratchplate as the coils are fully copper shielded for ultimate quietness. As you see em, unboxed and ex demo ... but still under guarantee from me.
£80.00 for all three ... delivered SOLDPrototype set of Masterwound Veltone Pro humbucker sized single coils ... yes I know they look like PAFs but inside they are a single coil with a huge alnico 5 magnet mounted on an L bracket next to the coil. This replicates the old
Valco lap steel pickups, but in a humbucker size. Hot and raunchy slide tones, or garage rock for the use of.
£80.00 the pair delivered Sold

I have of late been trying an American brand "Rails" pickup in the above-mentioned Ibanez RS405. I suspect that I should have grabbed a set of three Rails pickups while I had the chance.
@TheGuitarWeasel Will the production versions of your Rails Stratocaster replacement pickup be of the same dimensions as the prototypes? Are they available in colours other than black?
Of course I'm open to making one off custom sets, but with over 140 different pickups in my lineup they may have to wait till Oil City expands a bit and takes on more staff to be a worthwhile production item.
Black or white are the options in bobbin colours at the moment ... but new stuff comes out all the time from my suppliers/

Last year I had Ash make me a Hot Rails bridge pickup for my G&L S500 - the stock MFD pickup just didn't have enough punch for my current bands. To say it transformed the guitar would be an understatement, it sounds amazing now. That was my reason for going with the calibrated set.
I've gigged the LA a couple of times and it sounds superb. It has the stock set up with a five way rotary selector, volume, tone and a blower switch that goes direct to the bridge pickup. The neck and middle pups have a split on the push/pull tone control.
Here it is getting some use (excuse guitar face )
