Wanted please a Telecaster bridge sized P90 pickup

(A P90 that fits into a Tele bridge plate)

Paul

You mean like a used Oil City Alligator 90?

vasselmeyer

A full-sized P90 and a Telecaster bridge aren't compatible. You need a half bridge like this Wilkinson one which is on my guitar.

Yes Chalky, I did the Google thing, but didn't find Oil City....why have you got one?..... Paul

I didn't ask for a full sized P90, I asked for a Tele bridge sized P90, not too difficult to grasp is it?

Google "Oil City Alligator 90" and on behalf of @vasselmeyer.... "not too difficult to grasp is it?" )

Yes I have one, yours for £40 PPG posted UK.

You're a bit touchy for someone who was trying to help, Paul. Time of the month?

paulnb57

Thanks for the offer Chalky

I'm stumned to have been offered three form different forums/fora/forumses, ( thought they would be a bit rare) I'll let you know.....

Anything Tele-sized won't sound like a P90 though, it's all about the coil size.

Chalky

@GuitarMonkey - Agreed, that's why I'm selling!

paulnb57

Ah, bugger! May need a rethink then...........

vasselmeyer

Ah...so maybe you DO need a Wilkinson half-bridge with a full-sized P90 after all 

paulnb57

No I most certainly don't As much as I love P90's I fear the router!

paulnb57

Chalky,

I've decided not to take you up on your offer, thanks for it!

Paul

Chalky

Strongly doubted you would Its a good pickup but as the wise man said above, it aint no p90;)

GuitarMonkey

It might be the closest he can get without routing though.

paulnb57

Having slept on it, I haven't completely ruled it out, but a bit of router practice might just happen.......

Chalky

Buy a Squier Telecaster Custom for 150ish - excellent for the money and the Duncan Designef pickups are great.

paulnb57

Its a partscaster @Chalky the only bit I dont have is a pickup....

GuitarMonkey

The Telecaster pickup rout is much longer than a P-90 so you'll need to cover the holes front and/or back with something if you want it to look tidy.

Richardj

Just askin'  Why specifically P90 esque rather than a high output Tele pickup.  SD Lil'59 etc are more Tele than 'bucker if you are looking for that 'more' sound.
