Photos of Oil City pickups in your guitars

Aw brilliant mate ... glad the colour seems to match so well ... we enjoyed making that, and I think it looks killer!

Thanks Ash. The Instagram filter I used makes the colour match look a bit closer than it really is, but everyone who's seen it in real life so far thinks it looks great, me included. By the way, entering text on this forum using Google Chrome is a bit buggy... the cursor keeps going back to the start after every character. I had to type this elsewhere and copy and paste it in.

Hummmmm I'm using chrome too and it's fine on my computer. Very odd ... I shall get Tim to take a look at it when he has time ... or Honey our new girl ... she's a wizz with anything like that having trained as a games programmer.

The forum is a fairly new addition, and we are still debugging it ... hopefully we will get some more members soon and a bit of life will be breathed into it :-)

And here's Shadow with the Transonic!

Just joined up for the forum. I bought a Diesel Tap Telecaster bridge pickup about 18 months ago. I put it into an Esquire I built from parts and added an Eric Clapton mid bass too...has a great range of tones.

I've recently decided to sell another Tele I have because the Esquire covers all the bridge tones and more, but I'll be looking to add a neck pickup to this Esquire. Probably the Thames Delta, but for now here is a picture of my Esquire with Diesel Tap. 😊

This is where I hide the EC mid boost PCB (controlled by the regular Tele tone knob with a pull switch to give the tap mode for the Diesel tap.

That's really pretty!

I put my Thames Delta in the neck position of my Esquire, so now it's officially a Telecaster. I couldn't fit it under the pickguard as the original plan (would have been too quiet anyway I think), so I had to cut the bakelite 'guard to fit it. Turned out well I think; looks like it came that way. :)

Matches nicely to the Diesel Tap bridge pickup and I love that the coil tap has a nice effect on the middle position sound too. The Thames Delta works really well with my mid boost to fatten it up too.

Thanks for the quick delivery too Ash!
