original vintage and nocaster pickups ??

Was wondering if the fender original vintage and nocaster pickups you buy in the sets come with slot head mounting screws?

The Nocasters certainly do.

Can't remember about the OV's. Maybe not.

Steve's right on the Nocasters, OV are Phillips, ( or the ones I got about a year ago are)

they should be slot head. Thats what they are on the guitar.

alder body maple neck what would your preference be between the two ?

or better yet which has the warmer neck pickup

or better yet which has the warmer neck pickup

To my knowledge, the OV has the warmer neck. The Nocaster neck is known for being very bright for a Tele neck pickup. Almost Straty.

All the ones I have bought have slot heads.

I think they sound more alike than they sound different, in most guitars. Don't mean to sound cute, but the biggest practical difference is; The OVs are not RWRP and the No-Caster sets are RWRP. With a 4 way switch wired series/parallel, the No-Casters give you access to 2 really good noise canceled positions and this IMO is a serious objective.

Just got my Nocasters. They have slot-heads. Sorry to hijack, but do they all have this much wax? Every square inch is covered in wax. The wires, the twine, even some on the fiberboard. Did some just get a little wax-happy, or are they supposed to be like this?
