Pair of nickel covered Masterwound Marlene mini humbuckers ... these are very close indeed in spec and sound to the original Gibson mini HBs ... were built for a customer who decided they wanted Firebird pickups in the end.

Boxed, life time guaranteed, and brand new
£100.00 delivered.  SOLD


Bridge HB sized Nickel cover Winterizer ... the original  period accurate Firebird pickup in a HB shell. New and un-fitted you get that distainctive chewy, 'Tele on Steroids' sound. 


Boxed, life time guaranteed, and brand new 
£55.00 delivered.  SOLD

Masterwound Jin-Go Soapbar P90 bridge position... black cover, vintage wire ... alnico 5, traditional output ... all the good stuff 

Boxed, life time guaranteed, and brand new (still has the cover plastic on)
£55.00 delivered. 

Stonetone Strat Bridge pickup ... ivory cover


Boxed, life time guaranteed, and brand new 
£35.00 Delivered  SOLD 

The original prototype 'Tempest' bass pickup ... a real early Stingray clone 19k, alnico 5. This is the first ... and has slightly messy potting on the pickup back ... we are doing them differently now ... but this is a great sounding bit of Oil City history

Boxed, life time guaranteed
£60.00 delivered.

Oil City Scrapyard Dog neck humbucker ... double slug coils and matt bobbins 7.6k of bad attitude.

 (short leg four conductor wired)
Boxed, life time guaranteed, and brand new 
£50.00 delivered.  SOLD
The original prototype of my 'Gretsch style' classic Cow-Tron ... in Gretsch size 'american mount' to suit for example a Cabronita Tele etc
We do them a little bit differently in the baseplate now ... but they have that 'Classic' low output, woody tone.

Boxed, life time guaranteed, and brand new 
£55.00 delivered. SOLD

Prepared to discount a bit more for multiple pickups bought together ... let's get me some shelf space!

    I don't suppose there's a matching neck Winterizer going spare too @OilCityPickups ?

    No I don't ... but if you bought one normal price I'd discount this puppy down even further.

    Is the Stonetone photograph reversed or is the pickup wound counter-clockwise? 
    Be seeing you.

    Yep it's wound counterclockwise ... which is correct. Fender has changed its mind several times in its history ... but for the longest period of time they wound that way. I use this to match with several other makers ... Seymour Duncan for one.

    No probs - if I hadn't picked up a set of Wolfetones off here a little while back, it would probably be on its way to me by now.  :)

    @OilCityPickups ;;

    I can't see the     Cow-Tron listed on your site, is it a custom order?
