Hello matey-peeps.

Out of interest, other than House of Tone, Monty's and Creamery Pickups (got these already in some other guitars, and HOT & Creamery are on VERY long lead times), I'd be very happy to hear recommendations from them that know of pickups for that there Walnut guitar.

I'm considering Fletcher pickups but not sure which to go for. Anyone got experience of Fletchers? Anything else? I'm wanting UK made and "small quality builders" not big off-the-shelf makers.

Thanks in advance

Roland.

Uk, small quality.

Β 

Bulldog made some of my favourites. Β Hayden there is a clever man and can make you something special.

Oil City too - though Ash is a lot busier now, so you might be restricte to β€œoff the shelf” options.

Deacci (N. Ireland) is another well respected maker.

Mojo - but you have to get in quick as Marc typically closes his order book on the 5th, 4th, 3rd or 2nd of each month.

Β 

None of those are massively expensive - Bulldog wins on VFM for me.

@tv101: Thanks. I've had some OilCity Strat pups and were quite good. Will give the others a look. Ta.

Update: I've settled on a set of "Heaven" pickups from Fletcher Pickups based in Birmingham. THey'll have nickel case but gold foil covers πŸ™‚
