Not from where I'm sitting (at work) :lol:

If I remember (or if no-one else answers!) I'll dig out me boxes etc some time over the weekend. :D

[AndyR]

Got home early :D

So here ya go:

Set 1:
Bridge 7.1K

That's what's writ on the cards.

Mine are:-


Bridge 7.0
Neck 4.9

And they are sweet!

[MrBump]

Cool, thanks dudes.

Andy, it's getting close to that time and I think that I'm having the same doubts that you did about the output of them, despite Tims advise...  I just keep thinking "wouldn't the 'Boss' be more me..?"

Blackguards are awsome. They won't sound like low output pups. Get some, your tele deserves it.

My doubts lasted until I read/heard that the broadcasters/nocasters did not have namby-pamby weedy pickups - they had "f*ck-off sh1t-kickers" for pickups (not sure where I heard this)... and as the Flat 50s are aimed at that ballpark, I thought "oh well then" and pulled the trigger :lol:

They don't sound low output - the bridge is a nice meaty tele bridge. And the neck is warm and clear at the same time, complements it perfectly :D

If you've already ordered - don't worry...
And if you haven't... do not be concerned! :lol:

I had the same concerns about the output and even started a thread on the same subject.  Don't make anything of the low output though, I took a leap of faith and some advice from Andy and Tim and I'm very happy with the Blackguards.  They are classic fat 50's Tele.
