Artec 50's Vintage Alnico V Pickups for Telecaster

First time dealing with Northwest guitars and I am very impressed. Funnily enough, they got part of my order wrong. But you get a good impression of a company by how they deal with errors, complaints etc. And I have to say they were great. They sent the correct item out first class and it arrived next day. Will certainly be dealing with them again soon.

Does what it says on the tin....not that the pickup came in a tin...it was actually very well packaged (as is usual with all NWG deliveries). I wasn't alive in the 50's so I can't verify that the sound generated by this pickup is the same as the one in Clarence 'Gatemouth' Brown's telecaster....If you can find him I guess you could ask him....but you might need a Ouija board for that. As I trust the guys at NWG I'm willing to accept that this pickup would be considered 'cutting edge' if this were 1954...as it is, I just like the sound it makes (though if 'YouTube' is to be believed its as much about how you hit the strings as it is about the hardware....but what do they know? Those Youtubers are all 11 year old idiots who think Jimmy Page is something you do to a 'difficult to open book').
Anyway,.... Seriously, I build one guitar a year and thoroughly enjoy the process. But whatever I'm building (Tele, Strat, Cigar box, Concept monstrosity...) NWG is my 'go to' store for parts and advice. These guys know their stuff (and I bet they've heard of Clarence G Brown too!)
So, guitar builders everywhere....buy from NWG....they will do you right with quality gear at affordable prices, well packaged, swiftly delivered and guaranteed to help you play like Jeff Bonnahendrixson...... (mmm....nice).

This is the second time I’ve used a set of these telecaster pickups for a repair and refurb job They are well made and have a rather pleasing tone, al in all a very good product at a very good price.

Sounds good in my tele

Brilliant Pickups! Highly Recommended!
