The Creamery wide range humbuckers

[Creighton]

Anyone have any experience with these pickups? They are hand wound in Manchester UK and are supposed to be better sounding replacements for Fender Wide Range humbuckers. Just wondering if they are worth the coin and how much improvement they actually offer over the stock Fender pickups.

I searched prior threads and asked about the Baby 71s (WRHB in a standard HB enclosure) last week, and it didn't seem like anyone had experience with them. The clips certainly sound promising.

Go to the tele forum. Lots there have them and all reports seem very favorable, maybe more than the rest.

I have them in a JM build Danocaster. Could not be happier...

I fitted a set for a customer and meh. Very ordinary.

I have a set in an Epiphone Sheraton and they sound great to my ears - the guitar was something of a rockabilly project but I wanted to try something different to the obvious Filtertron type pickup. I have a couple of friends who've tried them as well, one who has one of the full size Creamery wide ranges in a Tele Custom and really rates it compared to others he'd tried in the same guitar, and one who tried the Jazzmaster sized version - I think he wasn't too taken with them at first but gets on well with them now he's used to them. I also have some custom made Creamery pickups in a vintage Duo Sonic which I'm really happy with.

I can also say Jaime who makes them is a great guy to deal with.

Have heard good things in general. I went with Catswhisker who modded my AVRI Fender 72 Custom WRHB..has a very usable coil split. I assume you're familiar with the other options? Telenator, Novak, Lollar etc..

I wish Fender would just release their "revoiced" WRHBs for sale..they came out in 2012 but they used the same part# as the previous version (genius) and the looks are identical..I went round and round with this. Called dealers etc. You can buy a Fender WRHB for cheap but no way to tell what you will get. Good luck.
