The Creamery 'extra width' tele neck pickup.
Measures 5.7k. Bare nickle finish
Sounds like a twisted tele neck pickup. Have played it back to back against one and it's bang on.
The problem is it doesn't fit in my neck humbucker equipped custom shop tele and I don't fancy re-routing a 2k guitar.

No trades unfortunately as I'm trying to repair the bank balance after yet another custom shop splurge at guitars 4 you.
The extra width refers to the tone not the shape or size. It gives you a strat neck tone, unfortunately my fender 52 custom shop tele is routed for a humbucker in the neck. They used the original machines from the 50s for this guitar and the body wood pushes the baseplate of the pickup towards the bridge and tilts the pickup at an angle. Fender Custom shop confirmed that Singlecoils don't fit in the neck position of my guitar without modification.
This is what happened with standard pickup and a new scratchplate!
I could have got round this by either getting a small amount of routing done or by getting a custom scratchplate made with the neck single coil slot about 3mm nearer the bridge.
I decided to put the Seymour Duncan HB back in as it sounds great in combination with the bridge hot nocaster.
This pickup should fit a tele no problem. Will accept returns if it doesn't
