Hi Mike, the "PDF"-style one-sheet handout that was available at the Roadshow describes the pickups in the Nocaster simply as "Abby Handwound Pickups." So, when I was looking at the guitar in person, I therefore assumed that the bridge pickup is a likely some flavor of Nocaster (vintage Nocaster, Hot Nocaster, Broadcaster, etc.), because the magnets have no stagger:

However, the specs you have now published online for this guitar state that the bridge pickup is an Abby Handwound "Twisted Tele" (that both the neck and the bridge are Abby Twisted Tele pickups). So then, my first question is, is this really true, or is this perhaps an error, and it is actually a Twisted Tele neck pickup and a Nocaster bridge pickup? And if it is really true, then my second question is, why wouldn't the bridge pickup be staggered (which, in your video on the 2011 Pine Tele Pro, is something that you had specifically emphasized as an important element of Paul Waller's Twisted Tele Bridge design)?
