WTB - unusual guitar pickups (maton / moody / etc)

[Text_Edifice]

As it says on the tin - what have you got?

Interested in trying out old moody / maton / whatever else pickups, looking for some new sounds out of an old tele.

[Trent Griggs]

After single coils yeah? If you're in need of humbuckers I'm about to sell a pair of expensive, boutique PAF clones by Throbak. Handwound and parts manufactured in the U.S. Some people think they are the best PAF's you can buy currently. Shoot me a message if you want to know more. Think I might be in your neck of the woods too. Cheers, Trent

Hey Dave, I've got a bunch of interesting things I've collected over the years... I'll dig out the box and have a look.

Thanks Wez!

Thanks Trent - after single coils and unusual / oddball. I have something with PAFs in. I've got an experiment guitar that I've inflicted a bunch of weird stuff on and so looking for some pickups to match. Who wants to sound like everyone else?

I have three Moody TriSonics I installed (poorly) in the early '60's on an old Maton Alver........sorry, they're not going anywhere.

[Text_Edifice]

That's the type of thing I'm looking for - do you know what's inside the tri-sonics?

[Ausrock]

Dave,

I've no idea. I have seen them described as "clean, jazzy, P90 ish.

There was one for sale here http://www.musicswopshop.com.au/stock?man=Moody

I'll keep an eye out.

So I found a GFS Retrotron (Filtertron style, sounded good in a tele from memory) and a couple of Matsumoku humbuckers. The one I assume you'd be interested in is the single coil, most likely from a 60's era Teisco or similar Japanese instrument. i believe they are quite sought after (but I don't need crazy money for it).

Tell me what it's worth and it's yours.

I think that single coil is out of a Greco hollowbody?

There's a guy I know selling a pair for $80 - so I guess it'd be worth $40 to me if that's not too low?

[Paul Berton]

Hi Wez

If they don't sell I am interested too!

Not sure of the exact origin of the single coil but it could well be from a Greco. $40 sounds fine, email me with your details (via website in my signature).

Paul, you're more than welcome to the others if Dave doesn't want them.

[Paul Berton]

Hi Wez

If the one to the right of the single coil is still available I'm keen.

Thanks!

It's not the most unusual thing ever but I've got a 6-pole strat style pickup that came out of a '76 Musicmaster bass that I don't need.

If it's of any interest, let me know.

The Retrotron? All yours. No idea what it's worth, give me a number.
