Balanced/Calibrated Telecaster Sized P90 Bridge & Neck Pickup Set

A P90 design in a standard Telecaster Bridge & Neck sized set. The Creamery Telecaster sized P90 pickups house two custom sized unpolished Alnico 5 magnets, steel screws and fat Handwound 43AWG coils. Fat single-coil tones still with clarity, presence & a defined voice. Get the grit of a P90 in a standard Telecaster Bridge & Neck size. Great fat, rounded clean tones.

The geometry of the standard Tele Bridge & Neck Pickup size as opposed to a standard P90 means there will always be a slight difference in tone between the two pickups as the coils will be slightly narower - Its for this reason I don't call these "true" P90s although I've voiced these pickups to have more of that grittier P90 edge. A higher output, fat single-coil tone in a standard Tele Bridge & Neck sized pickup set.

Tele-90 Bridge & Neck available in Alnico 5 and Double-Thickness Alnico 5 Options

I've had two designs of magnet custom made for these pickups, a standard option Alnico 5 (described above) and a double-thickness Alnico 5 for a stronger, more attacking, slightly brighter but a little less resonant tone - for a more modern take on my Tele-90 bridge.

Please Note: The Tele-90 bridge is about 2-3mm taller with the standard Alnico 5 Magnets and about 7mm taller than a standard Tele Bridge pickup with the Double-Thickness Alnico 5 magnets and whilst it will fit many cavities, if you have a shallow bridge cavity, please check. The total height of the pickup with pole screws is 19mm or 24mm whereas a standard Tele bridge is around 17-18mm. You'll need a minimum cavity space of at least about 13mm to 17mm to fit the pickup.

The Tele-90 neck with either magnet options will fit into a standard Tele neck cavity as a direct drop-in replacement.

You can select the Tele-90 Neck to be RW/RP for hum-cancelling in the middle position. Due to the design, the pickup has no cover and as its a fat coil, I use black tape wrapped around the coil to protect it.
