Just ordered me a set of Mojotone Broadcaster Quiet Coil Tele Pickups. Had great reviews. Has anyone got these?
At least I’ll have time to build my Tele kit before they arrive

I have some MojoTone P90s that I got offered at a reduced price, as the original purchaser decided to fit some other pickups instead and he offered them to me and I took pity on him (and I can't turn down a bargain). They are noise free, but they don't have the clarity of the Gibson P90s that I replaced in my LP Classic Gold Top. They are very decent pickups indeed, but in this case, a bit different sounding to how I though they would sound.
So I'd take them for what they are, and don't expect an exact hum-free duplicate of any current Tele pickups you may have.
Because of the extra coil in each pickup, they will be deeper than standard pickups, but not by a lot, so fitting them shouldn't be an issue.
I've been playing Fender Vintage Noiseless in strats and Fender Gen 4's in my teles (and 1 strat) for a a few years now and I'm a big fan. I especially like the Gen 4's.
I've not seen the Mojotone Quiet Coil until now, and checked out some demos. They work out to a little more in cost with shipping & GST than the Fenders, but I'd certainly consider a set one day.
Interested to hear what you think when you get them installed. Keep us posted!
The Mojotone's use side-by-side coils, not stacked (like Fender, Dimarzio etc) so depth is not an issue. They're the same height as standard single coils.Quote:

I’m sure my P90s were stacked when I looked. They were slightly deeper than the Gibsons, but fitted into the Gibson plastic covers OK (as I preferred the colour of the Gibson covers).
Change the winding arrangement and you’ll invariably alter the sound a little bit, but sometimes that’s no bad thing.
Have you got any other Teles with good pickups in to compate them to?
