Here are some more ex demo, and 'mistaken order' pickups going at way under their normal cost!
Oil City Liquidator Telecaster bridge pickup. Overwound to 16.5k for a customer who changed his mind and went for another pickup in our range ... hey ho. Note, because of the amount of wire on this plus the black string wrapping, it is a fairly snug fit in a Tele bridge opening, and care is needed to install it.
£40 delivered. SOLD

Oil City Black Arrow 17k bridge humbucker
, 50mm spaced, black bobbins and black hexagonal pole screws, four conductor wired. Ex demo 
£45.00 delivered ... Held for a customer till 1st June

And the star of the show .... Oil City Masterwound H.E.L 22k, triple magnet array humbucker 
ex demo, bridge, 52mm spaced, black bobbin, four conductor, hex pole screws.
This may well be the world's most powerful passive pickup! 
£60.00 delivered SOLD

Oil City Scrapyard Dog
bridge, nickel covered 50mm, four conductor wired ... brand new
£50.00 delivered SOLD

Oil City Hardman 11k Strat
bridge pickup, reverse (voodoo) staggered, ivory cover, new but mistaken order.
£30.00 delivered SOLD

Oil City Cal.53 Strat middle RWRP pickup,
reverse (voodoo) staggered, black cover, new but mistaken order.
£25.00 delivered SOLD 

Oil City Sawn-Off 14k Tele bridge SC sized humbucker. Ex demo four conductor
£30.00 delivered

Just found another one :-)
Oil City StoneTone bridge pickup. Made with 1mm shorter poles as the original customer wanted to fit it under a Mustang cover (no pole holes) he changed his order ... gurrrrr ... poles are normally flush on a StoneTone, these sit slightly below the surface of the cover. It's cosmetic only.
£25.00 delivered

    I've already had more than my fair share of generosity from you Ash. Especially when it comes to rails type single coils. Like I said I'll gladly take it to 'add to stock' as it's bound to come in handy at some point but if @roberty actually has an immediate use for it he's welcome to queue jump :-)

    It's like a Mexican stand-off.

    Which in this instance isn't racist, because it's a joke about Fender's production plants. Right?

    I just installed the H.E.L in a super strat and I had beginning of 'Back to the future' moment.  I got flung across the room.  If Satan is in the market for a pickup that thing would be perfect for those evil roars.  What a brilliant pickup.

    Cheers

    Glad you like it mate :-) It's a brute isn't it? But see what I mean about not being simply bass heavy ... it has a quite respectable top end too!

    It really is brute but what I like about it is the tone and being so hot I can just use the volume to control how much attack I want.  Brilliant.
