As of 2025 we are permanently closed for rewinds and repairs to focus on making new pickups. We do not know who to recommend and apologize that we cannot respond to emails regarding repairs/rewinds.
True Hand Rewinds for 1 single coil pickup is $65, with your choice of coil wire. Dual coil/humbucker pickup rewinds are $55. Repairs and modifications are charged by an hourly rate of $55, and most repairs take less than half that time.
Hand rewinds are done just the same as any other pickup I offer. Most mass manufacturered pickups still have good quality Alnico or Ceramic rods, and can be hand rewound to achieve an amazing tone. So if you have a pickup sitting in a box that you never liked, please send it along and I’ll wind some vintage hand wound tone into it.
Repairs usually include broken coil wires near the eyelets – if the pickup will need to be rewound, there will be no charge for an inspection of the pickup. Mods might include making a Tele neck pickup into 4-way wiring, or adding a baseplate to a Strat or Tele pickup, or safely removing a neck cover from a Tele and wrapping the coil in tape.
Please email with questions, and when you send the pickups please include your name, address, email address, type of pickup, and rewind/repair/modification that needs to be done. Don’t forget to include your shipping address and $10 for shipping and handling.
Wide Range Rewinds
I’ve been doing these for years, with great results – the current Wide Ranges just don’t have the mojo of the originals. There is a ton of potential in these pickups, as the parts are high quality – and they do capture the original look. The fix? Ditch the cheap Polysol wire and ceramic bar magnet. Hand rewind with vintage correct 42 gauge Plain Enamel, put an Alnico V bar magnet in there, and that’s the best Wide Range sound you’ll ever hear – deep, clear, harmonically rich, nice “puckery” tone – and gone is that stiff, brittle high end.
Price: $110 to hand rewind each pickup (remember, this includes dismantling the pickups, wiring, etc.
Replace bar magnet with Alnico: $15. Originals returned at customer’s request.
