SOLD Oil City custom would Tele set with tapped bridge

edited May 2022 in Parts £
I had these custom wound by Ash some years back - I believe the bridge pickup then became the Wapping Wharf model but @OilCityPickups may be able to confirm or deny! 

I had them wired to a 3-way switch with push/pull control plate to activate the hotter output wind 









And a panoramic shot just to show sufficient cable intact 




SOLD £80 for the set. Located in Swindon. Can post at cost.

    I'd say vintage -> vintage hot but I'm not a Tele afficionado.

    To my best knowledge - the bridge pickup started from the Honkytonk Angel - which itself is 10k but because if the wire used has a sound more akin to a 7.5k more common Tele pickup - then that's the main output but it is wound on to c.15k (again, prob akin to a bit less) for the higher output tap. 

    The neck matches well with the regular output. 

    My aim/brief when getting them made was to be really good for diverse clean sounds (funk, blues, covers) and with an extra louder/bolder option on the bridge when needed .

    Caveat: those spec numbers are for the HTA and WW pickups - I don't know if Ask wound it slightly differently for me (the WW didn't exist then and was I think the production model this one)
