A pair of Monty’s  wonderful,pickups. They completely transformed a Classic Vibe of mine and made it punch well above its weight so that it became my “go to” guitar for quite a while. The guitar is now for sale so the original pickups are back in and these beauties are for sale. They both have three wires so the 4 way switch mod is easy to do, the bridge pickups wiring has been extended (soldered and heat shrink)

approx £170 new I would like £90 incl postage

Monty’s call these “twang with a twist”.  They say, “Based on the pickups from a ’68 Telecaster and tweaked to perfection, the Retro Wind Tele set is for anyone after a vintage-voiced pickup set designed with the modern player in mind. Boasting a lively, touch responsive sound, our Retro Winds are ideal for everything from clean country to classic rock.  

We’ve voiced the neck pickup for a chimey, bell-like tone, somewhat reminiscent of Stratocaster neck pickup and just a tad more open than most vintage Tele neck pickups. The bridge pickup is designed to complement this, with all the twang you would expect of a vintage style pickup, but an ever so slightly sweetened high end. The result is a sparkling sound that is open, percussive and rich in harmonics without ever suffering from the dreaded Telecaster ‘ice-pick’. The two pickups blend together superbly for a bright telecaster middle position.

Like all our Tele pickups, our Retro Winds are only partially potted. This keeps the centre of the coil free from wax, resulting in increased clarity and responsiveness.”
