Monty's '72 CuNiFe Wide Range Set
We are pleased to announce the new Monty’s ‘72 Cunife Wide Range Pickups.
They are a perfect, vintage correct recreation of the classic Fender humbuckers of the early seventies. We have been making these for years with non vintage magnets and while they sounded good we had to vary the recipe to get the tone right. We have now got a steady supply of Cunife and can recreate these sort after pickups perfectly.
Most Wide Ranges that are available are not vintage correct; they are wound using smaller bobbins that are closer to standard humbuckers than the larger almost tele bridge size ones in the originals. This makes a massive difference even when a pickup is using cunife. They are wound with ...

Monty's OverSpun '69 Stratocaster Set
Просмотров 3 тыс.7 месяцев назад
The Monty's OverSpun '69 Stratocaster set is our take on the classic fat late sixties Fillmore East Strat tone. Fatter and punchier than our regular '69 Strat set but still with all the clarity you want from a late sixties Fender.
Monty's OverSpun PAF Set
Просмотров 3,2 тыс.7 месяцев назад
While our Original PAF pickups set the bar for pure vintage humbucker tone and our UnderSpun PAFs upped the clarity factor while dropping the winds, our OverSpun PAF set takes pure PAF tone to the next level. As you would expect they are sonically thicker, fatter, and able to drive the front end of your amp or pedal harder, but all the while retaining all the unpotted 3D sparkle of a great 1950...

    I put an OverSpun 69 in the bridge of my '74 Strat. It is a masterpiece. It gives me (a lot) more output on the bridge pickup, just enough extra meat in the mids but still has the bite. Tonally, it matches the original Fender staggered pole pickups that it is based on. Just beware that Monty's wind their pickups the other way to vintage and modern Fenders so you need to swap the wires. Wish I'd know that before I had cut them!

    So... I bought Two. A single thickness and a double. The double went on my 92' left handed Johnson Strat. Ive previously upgraded it with vintage 60's pickups, locking tuners and a wiring harness, with the correct left handed pots and a treble bleed/bridge tone mod. The baseplate is just another fun, inexpensive upgrade.... and yes I( and my guitar tech) do hear a difference. He ended up installing the other plate in his own Strat.
