One for the vintage Tele pickup fans

Alegree

If you noticed the previous instalment of these pickup releases (One for the PAF fans), then you'll be aware that we're releasing a number of affordable vintage style pickup designs. 

Today we bring the Old Timer Vintage 55 Tele set.

Plain enamel 42 AWG wire on the bridge, plain enamel 43 AWG on the neck as per all vintage Tele pickups. These wire insulations are far more expensive than the poly wire that you'll see almost exclusively on pickups at this price point, and also have a significant effect on the overall tone of the pickup. No pickup can be truly considered to be a vintage remake without the correct wire insulation.

Alnico 5 rods for maximum treble sizzle for a clear, open, bell-like neck tone and a cutting, twangy bridge.

£35 per pickup, £65 for a set

Wow! That’s excellent value.

Nice one Alex! Sadly the cirrostratus set in my Tele means the pickup hunt was over after just one try

I hope this new range is working well for you, great way to expand the business.

This is exciting. Appreciate they're barely off the workshop bench, but is there any plans for soundclips in the future?

Tempted to suggest an Old Timer versus handwound comparison but that could harm sales.

I still have my Tornado/Frigid Haze/Freeway combination but, sadly, not the guitar in which they were installed.

We're working with a large number of artists at the moment to bring clips/videos to demo pickup models in the near future.

There's a severe lack of Bass replacement pickups in this price range.....just sayin'

Nice move tired of Asian pickups all wound with the wrong wire.
