@Andy40: i can hear them in my head before i make them, and i know what type of project these are going on so i just think it out and make.
sounds good Tony, so these pups will be suitable for a baritone neck tele ?

I think we need to talk about Tele pups Tony, I'm currently looking and haven't found anything that really grabs me at anything like a halfway reasonable price.
Yes thats why they have vintage pole pieces and the poles arnt staggered.
Alnico 3 will warm the guitar up a little, less pull on those bigger strings.
You wont saturate the tone and will provide a more natural articulate sustaining tone.
A3 is very transparent, crisp treble scooped mids and a very clear bass tone.
I can also wind them a bit hotter to take more treble out..
I run very hot pickups in my Baritone, and once you get to pumping they get a bit blurred as bottom end does, they were also $300 a pair Harmonic Design Z90's, but a very very nice pickup tone wise.
