Couple of photographic model/prototype pickups co clear off my shelves ... both Masterwound 'Green Labels' boxed and new with guarantee.

Oil City Tapped Masterwound Diamond Geezer bridge Strat pickup

 ... yes I know the DG is usually  in my standard range ... but this one is wound with vintage spec wire (not poly) and also has a tapped, lower power output, and a slightly raised full power output.
Yes it's aimed at those who are either shining on ... or just comfortably numb with life :-) Flush pole, 9k and 14k outputs ... vintage push back wire.
£50 delivered SOLD
 Black cover fitted ... but you can have white, ivory or cream if you like ... no extra :-) 

Mastrewound Djenerator humbucker 52mm short leg, four conductor in matt black top version.
The Djenerator is a a metal and hard/heavy rock bridge pickup ... in case you haven't run across it before. Great for down tuning ... tight bass and a huge sound.
14k and custom size ceramic magnet powered ... this one comes with full pro spec shielding see below ... 


This beauty is yours for £65.00 delivered  SOLD... rather than the full £95.00 it'd cost ya normally :-)

    Is the Diamond Geezer pickup still available? 
    You say, atom bomb. I say, tin of corned beef.

    In that case, you will have to remind me how and where to pay you.

    Flush pole, 9k and 14k outputs ... vintage push back wire. £50 delivered SOLD
    Reader, I bought it. 

    Just tested in the 9k mode in my 2016 Fender MIJ FSR Sixties Stratocaster. It roundly embarrasses the stock pickups for tone and dynamic sensitivity. Through high gain valve saturation, sustained notes and chords develop into a glorious octave up feedback that the stock pickups have never managed.

    The 14k mode should be even more fun.

    I'm curious about tapped(?) mode, how does it compare to say a PAF or a 498T?

    edit: I'm getting my wires crossed, they're both 14k. As you were

    I see what you did there. ;)

    9k mode on the Tapped Masterwound Diamond Geezer sounds like a mildly overwound Stratocaster pickup, nicely calibrated for the bridge/Treble position.

    I only use the term tap in relation to individual coils. For a two coil pickup, I would have used the word split. 

    I have no experience of the Djenerator humbucker advertised above but it is fairly safe to assume that it does what its maker's description says it does. The coil split probably comes in handy on a HSH guitar.
