    Ah these are fabulous, I put a set of them into a Maton MS-500 years ago and they were just brilliant. Unfortunately I don't have much need for them at the moment else I'd grab this set again too :(

    Tempting as I'm an Alegree fanboy, but I don't really have anything I can put them in right now.

    Hi @blueskunk ;are these nickel or chrome? Have they been installed before?

    Hi @Yorkie ;

    I am not sure if chrome or nickal? I’ll check under the better light in the daytime. Yeah they have been used before. I bought from a pickup winder guy on eBay a while back.

    Hi @Yorkie , Yes but I can’t tell for sure man. They just look like normal humbuckers to my old eyes.  

    Sorry man.

    Doesn’t it say what they are somewhere in/on the box?

    These are pretty expensive new, I wouldn’t be arsed either way for the price but what do I know :)

    No complaints re price, it’s just that they would be going in an all-nickel guitar. 

    Good luck with the sale!

    Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful ! 

    Could you tell by looking at them ? If so I could send them and if they are the ones keep em, if not, send em back? 

    Sorry again man.

    It’s OK, I’ve ordered a new set.

    The difference is fairly obvious if you put them next to chrome hardware, chrome has a blue-ish glow while nickel is sort of grey. They also age differently so the difference is way more obvious down the line. 

    Thanks anyway, and good luck with the sale.

    What flavour of T-style pickups do you seek? Fifties, Sixties, "hot", noise-cancelling?

    I have assorted Alegree, Oil City, DiMarzio, Duncan, Fender and Warman units stashed away. Just need to check which models they are.

    Oh nice one man. Was looking at 64s the Fender ones but anything in that ball park. Even quality 50s would be fine, just want some good quality ones with good Tele tones. 

    Going into an Ash body Tele.
