This is the prototype Oil City RedNeck ... it'll be available as a production model shortly ...
Just about 5k ... it's a low output, humbucking country and rockabilly pickup ... a matching neck unit will be available too :-)

    Nice... dare I ask if it has been inspired by rewinding pickups from hell recently? ;-)

    Ceramic ... @monquixote  like other notable low output HB Tele bridges originally were (which these days appear to be Neodymium). 

    @impmann ... I couldn't possibly say ...

    Oh I do hope so. I’d love a well made one of those. Having seen the ‘pickup from hell’ post, I’m reluctant to buy one of the others, even having had one years ago.

    Goddammit. I've only just got myself a Tone Zone T...if I'd known you were starting with the Tele bridge humbuckers, I'd have waited!

    Love the extra detail of having the rails offset, by the way.

    RedBridge surely?  ;)

    (Perfect in a Wilko tele for those Essex tones?)

    In the 11 years we've been making pickups I guess we've heard this more than once :-) 
    These days we probably make more pickups for the metal genre than either country music or UK style R&B (Blackbirds, Djenerators etc) -... but hey, an oldie is still a goodie.
    For a Wilko tele there are far more suitable pickups in our range ;-) Like the Thames Delta.
