WTB: MIM Tele Pickups, ceramic, high output

[PelliX]

I'm currently looking for a set of pickups for my MIA Telecaster. What I would *really* like is a set of ~2015 MIM pickups from a Standard (MIM) Telecaster. These were never sold individually. They're about 9K (bridge) and 10K (neck) and ceramic. Very high output.

If anybody has a set of of these or even just individual pickups, I'd be interested. I'm in continental Europe, but would pay for inter-continental shipping if need be.

TIA!

This made me wonder... I actually have the set from my 2007 MIM standard Tele, and I would be willing to sell it, too.
I can say they are quite hot PUs, (for singlecoils) and I have read somewhere that around ~2006 they changed to the ceramic type. I can not say if they are actually the type you are looking for, but I would be willing to sell them if there's interest.
Maybe someone else can chime in and knows better what kind of PU these are. The thing is, I'm in the process of moving, and chances are high that the Multimeter and the PUs are at two different places, so I cannot measure them right now...

I was on the phone with Fender today and they switched "around 2005 with some overlap" to those ceramic pickups for the MIMs. I'd be interested in the DC resistance measured, and perhaps a shot of the underside, at least of the neck pickup. Also, I'm not in a complete rush. If someone else beats you to it, I might still want an extra set. I hadn't actually ever considered that these might be 'hard' to get, hehe.

Yes, that matches with what I have found, the change seems to have been during this timespan, so my 2007 *should* have had them. To be honest, I never thought someone would desire them. I swapped them out after they were not exactly what I wanted, and they went into the parts bin/ spare parts drawer. I can take pictures and measure them tomorrow.

That stands to reason, yep.

I never thought the pickups I'd want would *not* be available somewhere, albeit perhaps overpriced, hehe. I told the bloke at Fender that I'd buy them if they sold them.

Ooh, that would be grand!

 

[Eric'45]

Can't insert more pictures because of awful Internet connection, when I'm back at my PC I can send more, if you like.

 

[PelliX]

Well, my my, I think we have a winner! I'd be interested in a shot of the underside of the neck pickup.

Shipping is on me of course. What would you like for them?

 

[Eric'45]

Let's say 30 Euros for a start, but we can talk about that, of course...

 

[PelliX]

I think that sounds like a very respectable price, honestly.

PayPal or bank transfer work for me. I can PM you my shipping details.

 

[Eric'45]

OK, we got a Deal here!

I'm glad I can send them to a fellow Mf'er instead of selling them to someone on Ebay.
Paypal would be my preferred method.

 

[PelliX]

I'll PM you

 

[PelliX]

Pickups received and ready to rock!

Excellent, @Eric'45

If others happen to have another set knocking about and wish to part with them, feel free to drop a reply. I don't have an immediate need for them, but wouldn't mind a pair on the shelf either.
