Re: a pickup even your mom could love?

Whats so special about the Tele "Nancy pickup" please

Whats so special ??? hummm..

#1 No one on earth could figure out what it was..

#2 I spent 3 years of daily R&D and a ton of cash wasted and then lost 2 - 3 boutique winder friendships over it...--

#3 If I cast my pearls before swine -- what have I got left?

whats so special is that Roy Buchanans Nancys was a factory Fluke -- It created a unique early breakup all its own it also did'nt punch your ears out like a normal tele doees when i use them to play Roys music.

For 3 years everyone in this bussiness guessed their best and sent renditions of Roys Nancy to me-- THEY ALL FAILED onstage -- untill 4 days ago when I discovered the "Fluke" and wound one up and BAM there it is 100% what was once thought imposable became a reality--

It will be a very cold day in a very hot place when I give out the spec's.. LOL!
 
Re: a pickup even your mom could love?

Thanks Rev for your information

sorry Walters, Bro--
But I will never give out my Nancys specs..

I am even gluing the coils and rope on them to prevent reverse engineering. If they try to open them up they will simply shread to bits.

But yer Right My Nancy pickup is the only one my mom likes -- it does not force your ear mussles to move as much i guess???---- its simply more soothing -- not punchy-- like a hammer hitting steel would be.== this is more like butter hitting the floor!

I understand but are u selling them at least? how much
i can't reverese engineer even if i tried

The nancy pickup is about the early break up right?

I heard the nancy pickup has different "harmonics" or overtones is this true Rev?
 
Re: a pickup even your mom could love?

Down load or buy Roy Buchanan's CD's titled

Livestock

or

Second Album

this is all Nancys tone you will hear -- listen close there has never been anything like it.

I can't sell anything here,
and FWIW I have no parts to make them here -- as is we have been cutting coils from expensive botique Fred Stuarts and Hamels to make these --
 
Re: a pickup even your mom could love?

Rev i don't get it Roy story was that he didn't put a special nancy pickup in his guitar did this Nancy pickup come from the factory and he ended up with this guitar ? how lucky can this guy be to have the nancy pickup already in his guitar without even knowing it thats odd. Do u think Roy modified the pickup to be a nancy pickup or it came out of the factory whats the story Rev thanks buddy
 
Re: a pickup even your mom could love?

yea luck -- or -- just a country boy who did'nt know better and just used it as it was -- it was 1970 when Roy Buchanan bought the 1953 Tele and then Roy nicknamed the whole guitar "Nancy"--

the guitar was alreay 17 years old when Roy got it -- it may have had the pup swapped or rewound before he got it or Fender really messed up?
 
Re: a pickup even your mom could love?

The rumors are they the owner took out the pickup and some of the wires broke or they wound it wrong at the factory

I have another questions besides this

What does dual winding mean? how do i dual wind a pickup please?

Red rhodes use to do this but i don't know what this mean do u know
Rev please?
 
Re: a pickup even your mom could love?

dual winding is two or more bobbins being would on one machine at the same time,

i don't think its a winding pattern for the coils?
 
Re: a pickup even your mom could love?

Do u think james burton tele bridge pickup had 2 bobbins stacked u mean?

Dual winding mean: maybe 2 winding machines at once winding one bobbin?
