Hand Wound Pickups

We have demo guitars fitted with most models of pickup so you can test and choose the ones for you.Whether it's late 60's-style Strat pickups, overwound P90's, or a T-Top-style humbucker, we can wind them to your exact specs as you chase the sound in your head!
Strat pickups- £65.00 each, £180.00 per set
Tele pickups- £70.00 each
Humbuckers- £80.00 each (open), £100.00 each (covered)
P90- £75.00 each
If you're unsure as to what kind of wind/magnet/wire you'd like, we're happy to discuss and spec up the perfect pickup for you!
Modifications
If you're looking for more specific mods for your instrument, by all means bring it in and we shall give you a quote. We are able to source parts, or you may supply the parts yourself and we shall carry out the job for you!
All setups/modifications are paid for upon completion.
Check out some of the modifications we've done for customers recently! Whether you've a headstock break that needs repairing, pickup cavities filling-in in prep for a full refinish, or even a Les Paul you fancy giving the Mick Ronson treatment- we do it all!
Installing Varitone switches on 335's is one of our most popular modification requests recently- it really opens up the possibilities of these gorgeous guitars!
- One of our dearest customers, Gary, simply loves his Tokais- so we had this bridge cover installed and engraved with a 'T' rather than an 'F'- it looks absolutely fantastic!
- Headstock breaks are never a welcome event, but don't worry- we can repair and refinish so that you'd never know they occured! Check out this repair done on an Epiphone LP.
- We can wind pickups to your specs- James had these Firebird pickups built to the same spec as the Johnny Winter signature set, and they sounded fantastic!
