savethematches Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 What all is involved? How complex is the process?
hamerhead Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Anyone can do it. It won't necessarily sound good, though.
bubs_42 Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 IMHO the world is saturated with pickup makers of various sizes and price ranges, so whats the point? If you want to do it just to do it then have at it, but like stated above the Learning Curve is pretty big.
velorush Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Could be he's got a vintage pickup where he needs the flatwork to match the guitar. In that case I'd recommend Lindy Fralin to wind it back to vintage spec.
Hamer Dave Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 Never tried, but heard it's pain in the butt
cynic Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 I think the PITA involved with winding them and the cost involved with only doing a small number masks how easy the process is. There may be some secret sauce that elevates a good wind to a great wind, but there's only so many variables and those are pretty well established.
LucSulla Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 It's just courtesy. Think about the next person who will want to watch those pickups.
Bobby Marshall Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 A fralin rewind would be like a rebuilt transmission. No one will know and she will perform great and look original. Says they only do F or G pickups. NO AFFILIATION. http://www.fralinpickups.com/rewind_repair.asp
