Title: Sinner for tele?
Post by: doomcaster on July 05, 2011, 10:59:13 PM

Would It be possible put a sinner in a tele bridge? would it be possible to get it as a Tele shaped pickup?

You might be able to get a custom wind, ask Tim.

But there are complications - a Tele pickup behaves differently from a Strat pickup because of its metal baseplate, and because of the magnetic steel bridge plate it's attached to.

Well I use brass bridge plates and a few other unique things I'm doing will mean it will hopefully behave very differently.  :wink:

If you ask them nicely, the BKP gang can make you a tele bridge pickup with a 'Pig 90 wind. I believe it'll become part of the range eventually since there are currently no "Contemporary" models for the tele range.

Oh good, when I've scr@ped together enough cash I'll be all over that, how much more would a 'pig90 in Tele size be than a regular pig 90 say? A
And of the neck single? I'd imagine there isn't as much space for over-winding under the cover on that narrow bobbin

Nah, I was politely told that "if this pickup worked then it would already in our range, have you tried the piledrivers?"

I have, they were good, but still sounded very teleish (to anybody else this would be a good thing I suppose) and didn't handle extreme high gain much better than the texas specials I had before

I'm giving up and routing it for buckers now anyway \m/
