Oily Towers: the latest from Oil City pickups
What's Hot
Just completing a major site overhaul ... with tons more stuff and options available at a click :-) it's been an uphill grind, but the new Jaguar and Jazzmaster pickups will be up ... as well as a revamped humbucker range, with more bobbin colour/cover options, and some long awaited 7 and 8 string variants!. My upgrade shop will be coming on line shortly too, with push-back cloth wire, braided two conductor wire and a very special range of close tolerance CTS pots. More stuff like CTS/CRL switches and Switchmaster jack sockets will be added soon. I aim for a one stop shop for your upgrades, including capacitors, and eventually complete harnesses.
I will be making spare screws, springs, cushions and odds and sods for pickup replacement available at a click too.
I want to make it your shop too ... so any ideas (sensible please) would be great. I have considered pre-wired Strat 'plates' with SSS or HSS options.
Oh yes ... pickup covers and 'plastic' will be available separately too, so matching everything in to your project will be even easier.

Great news, I'll get some when I order my tele pickups.

Ash, your Dealers link on your main menu takes the focus away from your website, you should really make that link open a new browser page, or tab.

My strat is wired entirely with cut pieces from the three pickups, lovely stuff!
I'll ping you a message later to buy a metre or three.

I'd be interested. My soldering *is* okay, and reliable these days, but I'd love to make it quick and easy to swap prepared pick guards (calibre 53s versus stone tones, for example).

They are widely modded and all the bits for 4 way switching, parallel and series wiring might be a hit.

In the main menu, "Lutiers/makers" should presumably be "Luthiers/makers"
In the G-Style humbuckers page, the main header says "Wide Range and Brass Knuckle"
Also, the Cow-T-Ron "standard" seems to be missing, unless this has been discontinued...
