Sorry discontinued The Real Nancy CLONE!!!
SO SORRY - I HAVE DISCONTINUED THE NANCY ROY BUCHANAN SETs email me if ytou have questions ok buck@buckcannon.com
~Calling all Roy Buchanan fans~ ... Please Read:
My LIFETIME GOAL, was to actually make a bridge pickup identical in every way to
Roy Buchanan's 53 T-style guitar he nicknamed Nancy.
The pickup in his Nancy never would give up a ohm reading. This baffled us for years
and years... But it’s not uncommon for a pickup to fail and suddenly lose its entire bass.
I used to get calls about pickups doing that in the field and we would offer replacements
. The common complaint was this: "All the bass is gone and now it sounds treble-y
~ and now I can’t get any ohm readings ~ yet it’s still working, but it’s a total treble bomb"
In 2007, when I was allowed to play Nancy and go "under her hood" to take readings,
etc., I found there was no ohm reading from the bridge.
So I recorded some clips www.roybuchanan.org click on :( Music)
That’s me testing Nancy with the owner because he thought something was wrong and
it needed to be fixed... LOL. By the way, Nancy's Christy Auction House value is currently
at $600K. The majority of the interest in obtaining her is that sound of hers.
Just listen to my clip. She was unique. There’s no way to debunk that!
It’s because of that failing pickup, and the neck was nicely spec-ed from the factory.
But for 4 years steady I’ve chased that sound. Got close using alternative
components, etc., and have made revisions to my product with every new break-thru.
But deep down inside I wanted to know just what happened inside Nancy’s
pickup and duplicate it perfectly without adding a thing. I just wanted to
recreate it perfectly- Clone it, or make a Twin Sister! That was my
Life-Time Goal that I wanted to achieve in this life!
WHY?.... just because Nancy is often thought of as the best sounding
T-Style Guitar that there ever was... need I say more? She’s super important,
that voice of hers needed to be recreated, and it was my mission to hopefully
do just that and then offer it to those who wanted it dearly. Just like I once
needed it dearly when I decided to sport a band that just did Roy’s tunes. BUCK CANNON BAND.
There was no other way to get that sound, i.e. this sound!
The Guitar's 3-way switch will work the same as Nancy's did:
you get great Beatles and Petty in the Middle posistion!
Pickups are AlNiCo III neck & bridge -
neck has the RARE hard to find full drawn Brass Cover in Chrome finish as found on most all 1953's.
The Nancy's Bridge Dc's, while using an
ohm meter, will not actually read ohms
on that tap - Just like Roy's Nancy does
today and did all along! However you
can get a Cap read of .0035 if you'd
like to test things. The Neck is Special designed to work with this set only,
Deep Drawn Brass/Chrome
wire 43 PE target 7700 turns spec
targets are
6.1 to 6.4k please NOTE: I do not EVER reccomend this 2324 set
as your
NUMBER ONE AXE, for that we suggest the 4709 set aka
JOEL FOY's -
they share allot incommon the 4709's react normal,
the 2324's are
not normal at all the bridge tone acts like a volme, the
two pickup on
posistion is not recognizible like we
know it!,
setting control plates volume from
one pickup
to other does not work well. it takes
getting used too. the bridge pickup is shy on the Bass. DM
-----------------------
The 4709's a.k.a. Joel Foy's ( The most favored by my repete Customers!)
Available in sets or single bridge. "Early Blues & Rock-abilly":
Twangy, Steely & Bright, but theres never any ice pick ITS ALL SWEET = EAR CANDY=same with all my winds (No-Ice Pick ever!). Good for Rock or especially Blues. These are the greatest specs ever!

GREEN ONIONS are a great choice!

The Stangrays
Sorry Discontinued
"The 3- or 2-Speed Tapped StangRay's"
(Also with A5 Magnets) Tapped two times:
1st tap 6.6k 2nd tap 7.8k ( secret's out- have it your way too "u-call-it" choose magnets and specs. NOTE wire 42 stops at 8k, wire 43 stops at 15k lower tap must leave room for upper tap, theres no 8k wire 42 with a 12k 43 wire tap, as 8k alone took away all the bobbins coil space. )
Any hotter tap is always optional, but it and will need to be made with the thinnerwire 43'awg plain enamel coated (a.k.a. T-type=B-Style 1950 guitar)to get more wire on the bobbin because 8k with wire 42 is maxed out. Any more wire 42 after 8k makes the coil too big and fat so it will not stay on the bobbin nor will it be able to slide through the metal bridge slot of the bridge plate itself with the protective cotton string or pressure tape on.
by email request after Pay Pal order is complete or with any written order) 2-speed- taps- requires a Push pull pot switch or a micro switch I do sale both , the good ones! They are available, just click the Parts Page for parts or Wiring page for schematic/drawings

Nashiville style request etc, (( super sorry ok)) as it usally takes a few pickups extra to do it _Right_on the ~Nail-head~so in some situations~ If you MUST alter my Ohms I do request a alterion fee $40.00 any set "S-or-T".. $20.00 each for Tele® style $15.00 each for Strat® style for stopping production and then taking risk of having to build a few extras to get yours correct -as this does' happen often when I need to do Custom specs request - ( sorry but 16 years has proved that any altered ohms & magnets etc. can snafu the whole backlog of current production's estimated ETA's. as it takes un-forseen time away from the Weekly Batches ) THE SUPER SPORT set's Neck and Middle are the same as the Junior Watsons, "Rosie/Vaughns', and Night Flyers. ( Same specs 6.1k and 6.0 middle -- ((RW/RP)) is not reccomended but avalible $FREE$ by simply emaiiling me after the sale is made at the PAYPAL ---> Thanks buddies!! - again, My Apoligies though, ok.

MICROPHONIC Quality is already been- pre built- right In, the cause of squeal has been removed!'
A microphonic quality is built right in to these pickups - I do things to insure the good ones stay and the bad ones are gone, You can still hear clicks and talk into my pickups 'because we're after that true Old School tone!
The degree is moderate to avoid unwanted squeal. Currently, we take out the squeal and leave in the good microphonics.
DO YOU USE HIGH METAL-ish or HIGH stage 2 GAIN? Please let me know this when you order - (email us) or use "send a note" window at PayPalthen we will wax pot the pickups, a few more minutes longer so they will handle higher gain,as is Tube-Scream pedal's are fine - it's the heavier Gain/Metal-ish pedals that will cause unwanted higher gain squeal -
TIP; Squeel is caused from air gaps that run along two flat surfaces, I machine the two flat T-Bridge's surfaces to create a airless seal, then allow just enough Wax between the two to create a Bond.
