| 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!
When I 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 today as it did then. This is a rare failure within pickup coils that still happens!
This rare condition caused some really exquisite high end & harmonics to leap from the amp!
The next intersting find (onboard Nancy) was a tiny black capacitor [a .1 mfd (AeroVox -50 volt)] its soldered _In SERIES_ to both sides of the wires 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!
