______________________________
The Real Nancy's "2324's" These are the real ones, I have spent 8 long years chasing this tone, making changes to R&D all along. I had a look inside the real Nancy, I've played Nancy, took readings and notes! I once had a Roy Buchanan Tribute Band, "Buck Cannon" I needed this tone to truly portray what was uniquely Roy's 1953' Telecaster® that he named Nancy, Her Tone has been regarded as the best ever Telecatster® tone in the world, funny thing is, the bridge pickup was jumped across - in other words "broken"...but still worked then as it still does today, this is a common failure withen pickup coils- rare - but common, meaning it still happens! this rare condition, caused some really exquisite high end & harmonics to leap from the amp! ..next intersting find (onboard Nancy) was a tiny black capacitor, its a .1 mfd (AeroVox -50 volt) its soldered _In SERIES_ to both sides of the wipres on 3-way switch from volume-pots middle lug.
New*"TAPPED" Bridge Pickup! AKA the 2324's Nancy's 53' for Tele® are the first tap! ( NOTE the 1st tap has a considrable lower volume, then the 2nd, amp adjustments may be unavoidable for some players!)
Next Tap is The Famous Black Tele® 1956 Parts0Caster (pre Nancy era)
Now you get both early Roy Buch Tones in one!!
Set Includes Push Pull pot - - that .1 cap and a - (real vintage) , Old NOS tone Cap, and schematics.
Get the Complete Set ! Nancy + Black Beauty 56' Kit... Full Set, everything you need For that R. Buch early era Tone!
1st tap is straight up Nancy Tone! - ( considrable lower volume then tap #2) 2nd tap is The Black Beauty 56' (Normal 6.7k - (just like my "HOT BAKELITE Bridge" its LOUD!)
Comes with Schematics &The Push Pull tap pot and a new/old- NOS tone Cap,
The Guitar's 3-way switch will work the same as Nancy's did...
Forward=Neck Clean Middle=Neck Clean Bridge=Bridge
or use modern wiring. (optional) The new Lower sale price is $257.00 (was $299.00 )
Pickups are AlNiCo III neck & bridge - neck has the same Brass Cover in Chrome as found on most all 53's
The Nancy's 1st tap Dc's are very-very low (Top Secret & a ohm meter will not actually read, ohms on that tap - Just like Roys Nancy does .)
The 2nd tap is 6.7k (as read on Roys, old Black Beauty 56' today/ its also my HOT BAKELITE Bridge ) Black Beauty 56' is owned by Roys keyboardist and best friend, "Little Joe" Joe Traded Roy a Black Beauty 56' Esquire For Roys Black , 56' long ago. Some Roy fans claim the 56' was a much better sounding guitar - So I felt it was time to combine them both! -
No worries of the 2nd tap's inductance/load changing the sound.. as it happened Nancy's Bridge was not fully working and so it had the same overlay of about 6.7k... so it actually helps get that Real Nancy tone!

Here's the first review to come back on an S-telly! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A recent letter sent to us about this neck pickup: "Dear SIR, OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! Oh MY GOD! I can't put my guitar down. What planet are you from? The neck pickup is the smoothest, glassiest, warmest, richest, most vintage sounding hunk of tone I have ever heard. My tele® sounds like a strat® at the flip of a switch. Not just a strat®, but THE perfect strat® tone. The one I could never find in a strat®. Seriously! Oh, but the bridge. THE BRIDGE! The bridge is just nasty. Dirtier than a 4 dollar tijuana hooker. No pick. No shrill. Harmonic as all hell. She growls and bites and snarls more than any humbucker I've ever played and it just keeps getting better. The more I play, the more I love you. Two little pickups. 3 little positions. Yet, sooooooooo many tonal possibilities. I took it down to my local luthier genius (he said it sounded, better than most real vintage teles® he's had come through his doors)and all the guys in the shop gathered round and refused to believe the specs. These things can go from a whisper to a scream effortlessly. I might have to order another set for the next life in case we don't end up in the same realm. OK, enough of that. Thank you very, very much. I will sing praises of your name to every Fender® player I ever encounter throughout all my days. I couldn't be happier. Keep on keepin' on. It is comforting to know there are guys like you out there. Great product, great customer service. Thank you! "

MICROPHONICS
A
microphonic quality is built right in to these pickups - I do things to
insure the good ones stay and the bad ones are gone, You can still hear
clicks and talk into my pickups 'because we're after that true Old
School tone!
The degree is moderate to
avoid unwanted squeal.Currently, we take out the squeal and leave in the
good microphonics.
DO
YOU USE HIGH METAL-ish GAIN? Please let us know this when you order
- (email us) or use "send a note" window at PayPal
then we will wax pot the pickups, a few more
minutes longer so they will handle higher gain,as is Tube Screamers® are
fine - it's the heavier Gain/Metal-ish pedals that will cause unwanted
higher gain squeal -
