A set of Oil City Pickups, designed by you - named after you?

I'd never be able to decide. Though probably liprails. Lipstick and a rail in a P-90 sized housing.

Proper lipsticks are that rare beast alnico 6 ... I have a source in the US ... take a few weeks to get here mind ... but pretty much anything's possible.

i would like Ash to make a replacement humbucker for my Vintage Zip .It plays  very well ,I love the neck ,cheap as it is ,and sounds OK but a coil split proper humbugger would sound better than the two strat ceramics roped tother though it does have a sound all of its own .It would make a great blues  guitar with some A5's.it knows its limitations .

I always fancied one of those Zips when they came out ... I would suggest a hybrid design featuring quad opposed alnico 5 narrow magnets to get you a sort of humbucking P90 array. 

It punches well above it weight which isnt much as its a semi hollow .Might have to talk with you about that pickup though it would probably cost a lot more than the 30 quid I paid for the Zip .They also made a slanted  twin lipstick  humbucker pickup with the same installation .

There are Alnico 8 pickups but whatever happened to Alnico 7?  Aliens?  RGuitars?

I'd have a strat set to include  a fat 50's neck and middle and then a searing 69 style bridge would hot and fat 

and I'd call em' "Mrs T's"!!

A searing 69 always hits the spot ;-)

That should be the name.

This is the best thing I have ever seen. After installing few Oil City pickups in guitars I am totally sold on them. 

I would want a very responsive JJ pickups for my Warwick Stage 2 that would go from low Warwick growl to very aggressive punch you in the stomach and slap you around the face and leave you stunned type of thing.

I'd go for a Strat set: grey bottom neck and middle and something SSL-5 like (but Masterwound) in the bridge. Sort of a Hendrix, Trower plus DG thing.

My head's fallen off at winning this prize! As a user of Oil city pickups already this is the greatest thing ever. Thanks to @TheGuitarWeasel and @Bridgehouse. Now to start scheming...
