Upgrades / Repairs

Problems with 1950s/Early 60s pickups? We specialise in repairing / replacing the original coils and magnets and always try to match the existing magnet wire, coverings and sizes as closely as possible. Many of the pickups we receive are actually easily repairable and are economically returned to their original working specifications and looks. Why have non original modern coils fitted to your vintage classic? We also have stocks of many vintage coils magnets for sale and reference. Call or E-mail us for details.

 

Please note: Electric guitar wiring can often look incredibly simple. However, do not attempt to replace pickups unless you are confident in your own ability. It is always more cost effective to have a qualified technician do the work. This will then be done quickly and correctly, without possible damage to your instrument or annoying after effects such as hum or whistling.
