Strat pickups for sale

[Steve the Grate]

Hi, I just removed the pickups aka "activators" from my Strat, which I'm also going to sell. As near as I could tell, the value of the Strat was pretty much the same regardless of which pickups are in it, so I decided to put the original pickups back in and sell the Alembic pickups separately.

I'm looking for advice as to what is the best way to sell the pickups and a ballpark value. Everything is mounted in a tortoise shell pickguard, which I will include. The pickups are about twenty years old, but in excellent cosmetic condition.

All advice appreciated. Thanks.

no idea what it's worth but it sure is pretty. hwat body colour would make that snap? black, mayhaps?  good luck to all!

I'm not the person for either of those questions - but look forward to seeing what price you arrive at; I doubt Senior Management will go my pitch whatever it is, I'll dern sure try!

Been:  I have long been of the opinion that black Fenders (and Fender-types) need white pearl; tortoise for sunburst or clear.  Everything else needs black.

Peter (who would not, however, be opposed to trying that on his black Strat........)

Just to clarify, but a picture from the back would help, as you do not mention if the preamp is included. One can guess it is as we can see a battery clip.
