Lets try some of these again. All prices including shipping to the lower 48. I'll ship to forum bro's anywhere, we'll just figure out something equitable on the shipping charges.

59' TB - Double Creme. $70 I completely forgot I had this, and don't need it. Perfect condition, no logo, 4 conductor, about 6-7" of lead left...plenty for bridge position.

APH(n) - ***SOLD***

Pearly Gates Plus - Parchment $50 Perfect condition, has SD Logo, 4 conductor 6-7" of lead left.

PICTURES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.

Seems like I'm missing 1 or two, I'll have to look in my box again. I'll add them later if I find them.

Sorry Pinto...just sold the APH. The creme coil has the adjustable pole pieces.
 
Re: Bunch Of Pickups For Sale

Bump....still a couple of great pickups here...including a double creme 59' TB
 
Re: Bunch Of Pickups For Sale

What is the difference between the Pearly Gates and the Pearly Gates Plus? Is it a bridge or neck model? Is it regular or trem spaced? What is the color?

Thanks,
Eric

What is the difference between the Pearly Gates and the Pearly Gates Plus?

"The Pearly Gates is rather different than the "Pearly Gates Plus" that is on the Lone Star StratTM. The Pearly Gates Plus is only available on that guitar and not made for retail sales. The main difference in these pickups is that a Pearly Gates has Alnico II magnets, while the Pearly Gates Plus has Alnico V magnets. Alnico V magnets tend to give a brighter, glassier tone, while Alnico II magnets tend to have a warmer, rounder, more mid-rangier tone. The closest pickup available in our regular line to a Pearly Gates Plus is a '59 Model with 4-conductor cable. The '59 is an Alnico V pickup with a wind very close to that of the Pearly Gates Plus. The '59 usually comes in single conductor cable, but it can be ordered with the 4-Conductor wiring option."

Thanks Jolly.

The one I have is Parchment...kind of an off white, not creme, but not white. It is 4 conductor and I believe all are trem spaced, since they are designed for a strat. This is a bridge model.

These are OEM pickups that SD wound for Fender. They were originally in the Texas Fat Strats or Lonestar Strats, Big Apple Strats, and several other Fender models.
