Toltec Pickups

[Supernaut]

Does anyone have experience with Toltec pickups? Managed to snag a set of Vintage Reds but very difficult to find info or soundclips on the web. Cheers.

I have a toltec in my Squier 50's P.

it sounds great, and much better than the stock unit.

SC or split?

This thread has reminded me that I have a toltec four pole musicmaster bass pickup sitting in a box that I need to get around to fitting in one of my '72 musicmasters.

Doing a search @Sean, your name appears to pop up often. Could you offer some more insight?

Toltec is a brand belonging to Laverack Guitars based near Leeds, UK.

Lee Laverack is the chap that makes them.  They are very boutique and many are wound to people's individual specs. Lee is very helpful and engaging and loves a new challenge of trying to get a pickup to match a customer's requirement.

 

He's done two custom jobs for me, one was a pair of splittable J humbuckers, the other was a PJ set that doesn't sound like a "normal" PJ set.  

 

I've also got a pair of J pickups from Lee that I'm hanging on to until I need them. They're that good. 

 

My advice would be to contact Lee and have a proper chat if you need anything. He's a gem.

Would love to hear some sound clips if you have any.
