Ron ellis pickups

[TELEMAN777]

Hey i'm new to tdpri but i was wandering if anyone could tell me how to order ron ellis pickups for my tele. I've looked online but can't find out how to order. Any help would be appreciated.

t2ellis@pacbell.net is his email address and his number is : 760-822-3354

let us know what you find out.

Depending on what you want, generally about a 1 year wait at this point though.

[Whoa Tele]

I had read on another forum that he might be focusing on some new humbuckers he's designed and wait times could be even longer. I'd love to try his Broadcaster set but I think they run about 300 bucks.

im on the list for some tom holmes h450 and h455 pickups. 600 dollars.

they have a 2 year wait but i figured if i want then i better get on the list now.

[TELEMAN777]

Thanks for the info and i will post if i find anything out.

[WaylonFan76]

Yep. I talked to him on the phone last year and the wait was 6 months. Now it's more a year. And $300 for a set. Wowza !

With all due respect,life is too short for that. Plus,by the time you receive
them,the p.u. " experts " will have moved on to another winder.

Mmmm. I sent him an email last month and no reply. Will try again as I'd like to get on the list.

Could anyone tell me what kind of tele pu are to choose from in case I do get in contact with him.

This is why I gave up ( other than the year wait and steep price tag )... When I finally decided to order mine, I sent him a few emails and never got an answer.

I know we had discussed his Broadcaster and 52 sets. He probably has a 60s inspired pickup set too. I think he can pretty much make anything, though...

Do you pay up front or on delivery?

no down payments accepted.

i called him and spoke with him. then i wrote his wife an email stating what i wanted. she said she put me on the list and will contact me 3-4 weeks before he begins to build them. ( payment is due then ) he was really nice and answered every question and never seemed in a hurry to get off the phone.

Same here. He made me feel like he cared about me getting my tone as much as he does when he deals with Brad Paisley or Marty Stuart...

[TELEMAN777]

Wanted to let everybody know that i have gotten in touch with ron and he was great i'm on the list and the wait time is about six months.

That's good to hear. Did you email him or call him?

I think YOUR life is too short for that... other folks may not mind waiting for something they really want.... and some guys aren't just following the crowd and actually want pickups from Ron.

Try budz.... He will take care of you and some say his are better than Ron's. Of course, can't be proven but I have 2 sets on order and feel good about it.

I love my Budz Duffs and Mare's. Would love to try Ron's but I think the 6 month wait is a little optimistic as folks have recently waited over a year. If things have changed, I might have to sign up for a set of his Broadcasters.
