UKLooney Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Hi, I'm looking to source a Fender Wide Range Humbucker, new or used. Anyone know where I can find these? I've tried all the usual places online. These pickups can be found on the Fender Modern Player Telecaster and Fender Starcaster amongst others. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike257 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 The Creamery and Oil City both do their own takes, or will rewind the modern Fender efforts (which are basically a standard humbucker in a big shiny box) to something more closely approximating the original spec.

dannybuoy Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) Try contacting Fender? Or you can always go vintage: https://reverb.com/uk/item/4340764-fender-vintage-telecaster-bass-wrhb-wide-range-humbucker https://reverb.com/uk/item/4340949-fender-vintage-telecaster-bass-wrhb-wide-range-humbucker Edited June 22, 2017 by dannybuoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKLooney Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 Hi, Thanks for the replies. I had looked on both the Creamery and Oil City sites, but couldn't (still can't) find anything similar. I'm guessing they might do a custom order? The cans might be a problem? I've not contacted fender, though I've had a good look through their parts list and also on their site with no luck. I'll probably drop them an email. https://issuu.com/fender/docs/2015-fender-accessories-price-list As for going vintage, I'm really looking for a shiney new modern pickup.

converse320 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 If it can be made, Creamery can make it. He's very helpful, drop him an email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I've no idea about Fender, but I know you can phone up Yamaha and order spare parts including pickups for anything they make. Just because they don't advertise them doesn't mean they won't sell you one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
