These pickups were talk of TGP for a while I think. I stumbled upon them on eBay whilst looking for proper wound Broadcaster pickups. Seymour Duncan make some but having tried them I wasn't satisfied.
They arrived as described - bridge wound to around 10.2K and the neck at 7.6K ish. All the hardware fitted perfectly and the package came with a treble bleed circuit and a Mojotone tone cap.
Installed into the below, my trusty monster neck bitsa, the sounds are exactly what I hoped for. No ice pick, lots of girth with still the Tele twang. Plenty of clarity in the neck position and very quiet.
I am plenty impressed - highly recommended. Price was around $260 landed.

Re: Onamac Windery
Very "pingy"! In a good way. One certainly can hear what they're doing. They're a good match for these pickups adding some clarity to the fuller sound. I like 'em.Miza wrote:Nice tele Grant. How do you rate the brass saddle bridges?

Re: Onamac Windery
You're describing my old Nocaster tone...
I'm going to have to go on a mission to get that back.
Cheers for the pickup tip.

I reckon that no-caster and your new R9 could possibly be the only tone monsters you'd ever need.Molly wrote:You're describing my old Nocaster tone...

Re: Onamac Windery
Not too bad a price for both pickups really. Will have to keep them in mind for future Tele projects.
I still think the Fender Nocaster pickup is a good one. Or at least it was a number of years ago when I had one in my Esquire at the time. It was a do anything pickup; clean and twangy or plenty of girth when you wound the volume up. And of course the Cavalier pickups are fantastic too. Lots of good Nocaster-esque pickups about with slightly different flavours.

Just for you fellas. The playing is dodgy...and I didn't let any notes ring out. Swart NightLight Jr is on for the demo.
