“I had a bridge pickup in my telecaster that i thought was a broadcaster. The sound was amazing. I opened the bridge up and saw the van zandt stamp. Sadly, I had to open it up because the pickup is not working anymore. one of the windings is a little loose and floppy at the wire connection. i got 20 years of heavy use and sweat out of it. it was my error by not replacing a bridge screw that had become loose and fallen out . i had put it in andit became loose. the surgical tubing had become dry and brittle on that pickup and the screw wasn't stabilized enough and became loose. this happens folks. remember to check the tubing securing the pickup every five years or so.physical movement of the pickup afterward helped damage it.I will replace it with another Van Zandt. I think they are spectacular pickups.I'm not sure if they rewind pickups. If they did i'd send this one back and build an esquire with it. I'm buidling a parts telecaster at some point and will use van zandt pickups for that.I can't tell what model it is. I couldn't get any stable reading with a voltmeter and at times no reading at all.I think I will probably just order (in the spring of 2024) the two types of pickups and figure it out on install on my current tele and one of the builds.I think Van Zandt has that vintage tele spank twang and clarity that people can get out of a set of joe bardens at a phenomenal price.BUY THESE! you will not be disappointed.the mij telecaster it was in sounded amazing. one of the best telecaster sounds out there imo.“
