 As I am am writing this I am trying to figure out the pickup situation and I think I have a solution. I have a 60's pup that I was going to put into the Phoenix the shard of a NR tbird I bought off ebay and restored. Now I think I will put the original pick up in this beast of a '67 NR and put a Seymour Duncan repro in the Phoenix. Thoughts fellow Tbird nuts. Or if anyone has a 60's they want to sell let me know, I know it's the longest of long shots.

Thought I'd post this in case it helps. 

They don't appear to be 60's pups (maybe OBG? Chandler?), but might fill the void

no but i have a few blade bobbins if you need a couple scott, slots measure a bit over two inches. they are wound but can be stripped if not the right DCR. they are NOS but i don't know the origin.
I can be true to you sweety until I find a nice medium scale with great breasts. ... CW

Oh a wise guy nuk nuk nuk. Thanks for the leads guys I was hoping against hope someone might have 60's one stashed away. I have some '76 covers I'll send them to Seymour Duncan for repro guts.
