Old Timer 'Twang' Telecaster pickups

Amazing pickups

I bought a pair of these of these to replace the cheap ceramics in a 12 string tele. The difference was "night-and-day". I also have a 6 string tele with a Twang neck pickup and an Old Timer Incinerator bridge pickup (also excellent). Some optional switching (using a 4 way switch) to lower the output of the Incinerator (a 100k resistor and a 10nF cap in parallel between the pickup and the 500k vol pot) can match the output of the neck and bridge pickup. Overall the Twang pickups tone have that punchy / chimey alnico 5 tone that I like and that can also be obtained by spending a lot more money elsewhere!
