Pickup winding

Did you know? We also wind pickups. It's common for vintage instruments to lose pickups. The potting shrinks over the years, causing the wiring to go open circuit. We can rewind your old broken pickups and restore them to their original glory. If you have any other special pickup winding needs, we can also help.
