Monty’s Signature Danish Pete DP51 Telecaster Pickup Set

These are Danish Peter Honore’s (from Anderton’s) Signature Telecaster Pickups made by Monty’s guitars. They are Brand New, as I’ve decided to not go through with my Tele build that I started. You can search a video that they did of these pickups on YouTube (Andertons Music Co.) They’re phenomenally made and have an awesome box. If you look on their website, you will see these listed for €165.83 and that amounts to $179.18 dollars + Shipping (if you live in the USA). I searched the transaction I made back in December 2019, and it amounted to $193.33 after I applied a 20% discount during the holiday season, so if you decide to order them for yourself, it may be more for shipping considering that there’s no discount at the moment.

I will list the website description of the pickups below when I get the chance:

Monty's Guitars is delighted to present our Danish Pete signature Telecaster pickup set. We doubt that Danish Pete is a man who needs any introduction; a veritable titan amongst guitar players and a presenter on the astoundingly successful Andertons TV YouTube channel, we were honoréd when Pete tasked us with creating a set of pickups that captures and distills the tonal essence of his legendary purple Telecaster. The result is a set that pairs a beautifully beefy bridge pickup with a clear, bright neck pickup, perfectly recreating the sound of Pete's much-adored Tele.

The neck pickup is a pretty significant departure from what you might expect in a Telecaster; true to the original pickup in Pete's Tele, it features an exceptionally tall coil, giving it an incredibly detailed, clear sound that is far more reminiscent of a Strat pickup than a traditional Tele design. The bridge pickup in Pete's Tele was based on a classic Nocaster design, but we discovered that it also had a couple of idiosyncrasies that were elemental in shaping the sound; the coil is slightly squatter than standard for a Tele bridge pickup and it features a unique magnet stagger. We've recreated all of this in the signature pickup and also used a double thickness plain steel baseplate, resulting in a pickup that sounds deliciously full and gutsy without sacrificing the brightness and twang that all good Telecasters should have.

Like all of Monty's single coils, our Danish Pete Signature set is only partially potted. This keeps the middle of the coil free from wax and ensures maximum clarity and responsiveness. They are scatter wound using 43 AWG plain enamel wire for the bridge and 42 AWG SPN 155 wire (with a lovely red hue) for the neck.

Neck - Alnico V

Bridge- Alnico V

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

UPDATE: I should probably let you know that on the box, they write the name of the buyer with a marker, as it's a very personalized box, but the pickups are unused and untouched.
