Eastend Custom - Oil City Pickups, any opinions?

[plymman]

Hi all, just wondered if anyone had tried any pickups from oil city pickups? They're apparently hand made in London and so far only available on eBay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Telecaster...d#ht_719wt_922

Has anyone used these or had any experience of them? I'm looking for a replacement pickup for my MIM 50's Esquire, something with a little more warmth and depth without losing the sparkle it has. It'd be nice to buy a UK product for once but I'm not too keen to take a risk on an unheard, untested pickup although they certainly seem like good value.

I am curious too,the Diesel Tap looks very interesting.Perfect in a Esquire.

I've got a Diesel Tap in my Esquire partscaster. Sounds great. Luckily I live fairly near to the guy that makes them so was able to try one out first but I think they offer a money back guarantee if you don't like it.

I didn't feel confident about the push/pull wiring so they installed the pickup for me for a very reasonable price too.

Excellent customer service - they are happy to answer any questions and give you as much help as you need.

I have nothing to do with the company, by the way, except as a satisfied customer.

thing i check with a seller.Going to buy the Diesel tap for my Esquire project.
