  • Creamery Telecaster Pickups

    What do you think of this Creamery Telecaster Pickup set?

    Bridge Pickup - Tele-90 Coil Tapped with an Alnico 3 Magnet Magnets 12.4k Output & 44AWG Plain Enamel.

    Neck Pickup - Strat-90 Coil Tapped with an Alnico 4 Magnet to match the Tele-90 Pickup Output & 42AWG Plain Enamel.

    Tele-90: Custom Telecaster Sized, P90 Design Bridge Pickup
    The Creamery Telecaster sized P90 pickup houses two unpolished Alnico 5 magnets and a fat 43AWG coil wound around a custom, handcrafted P90 middle bobbin, hand shaped to fit a standard Telecaster Bridge. Huge, fat single-coil tones still with clarity, presence & a defined voice. Get the grit of a P90 in a standard Telecaster Bridge size. Great fat, rounded clean tones - turn up the gain and let the pickup scream.
    The geometry of the standard Tele Bridge Pickup size as opposed to a standard P90 means there will always be a slight difference in tone between the two pickups as the coil will be slightly narower - Its for this reason I don't call it a "true" P90 although I've voiced this pickup to sound close, somewhat similar to my Humbucker sized P90 pickup. A higher output, fat single-coil tone in a standard Tele Bridge sized pickup.

    Strat-90: With its six adjustable pole pieces and dual magnet design, the new Stratocaster Sized P90 pickup is great if you're after that fat single coil P90 tone. Due to its design of dual bar magnets and pole screws, the tone is warmer & fatter than a standard Strat pickup. In positions 2 & 4 you'll stil get the trademark Strat 'quack' tone, just a fatter, more rounded version. Great for a more blusier style of playing.
    As the geometry of the Strat P90 pickup differs from a standard P90 in terms of width of coil, the tone will be a little brighter but still with the warmth and fatter single coil voice you'd expect from a P90 design. I've designed the P90 Strat pickup with custom magnets to let the strings vibrate a little more adding to the warmth in the tone.The adjustable poles allow you to match the your neck radius for better string balance.

    I think it's a whole lot of numbers and w/o getting them there is no way to know what all that is really going to sound like.

    However I am pretty sure it ain't gonna sound like a Tele.

      I have a set of Fralin SP-42's - they're Strat pickups meant to sound like P90's. They've got adjustable pole pieces and two magnets, just like real P90's.

      They just sound like really good, beefed up (in tone, not output) and slightly hotter (I believe under 7.5k) strat pickups. Vaguely like P90's, but not really. I'm willing to bet that these aren't any closer than the Fralins.
