            Thanks for the comps. I sprayed a couple of coats of clear on the coils and that's all the potting they got, .688 mags, the tops are 4mm thick and the coil is stock height. The formvar comes up well under the lacquer don't you think

                  Rightio, here's another master piece brfff. P-90s rule and having the one in the middle gives so much more variety. Turn up the treble n presence and P-90s are great. Pos's 2 n 4 are great as well. Actually because I've gone maple mad I'm planning to ditch the white covers and put a 1/4'' maple top on these. The look of 3 x P-90s is a bit bulky but if you love single coil tone P-90s are a must in the arsenal. I actually know a few blokes who've never heard em
                  The bridge is an AM STD but those offset saddles have been replaced with the vintage steel ones, you need to drill new holes in the back of the top plate but once you do that the bridge is better IMO with the bent steel saddles and besides, try replacing the offsets with anything other than graphite if you're a lefty.

                    You realize I'm a Lefty too.
                    You could probably send me one of your culls!

                      I do mate, I'm wondering what's with the righty in your avatar. Culls are not a common thing over here as you would know, decent lefty guitars, well if you want one you have to make it yourself. I do have too many though but couldn't possible hand one over

                        That is a guitar, I put one of my loaded pick guards on.
                        It is a demo at a guitar store.

                            Here's a couple Tele Pickups I made for a local player.
                            He wanted to try a neck P/U without the cover.
                            A good thing, I was out of them.
                            I wound both with 42 AWG.

                              Always good to leave the cover off them Tele neck pickups I reckon.
                              Here's a Tele triple set of woodys ready for winding. The neck n mid are strat spec.
                              I made this thick steel bridge for it, incomplete in this pic, it's in the polishing process at the moment, no plating, just polished to look like chrome, I've done this many times and never have rust issues , I tested it out on the guitar and the added tone is very noticeable esp in the bottoms, like the bottom is wider and bigger but also the top strings really spit out at you. Steel rules for tone, forget brass, that's rubbish. This is for my thinline. Fun job making the pickup hole, job satisfaction to a tee. Not a Big Teee, just a tee
