Hand Wound Pickups
We launched our range of hand-wound pickups at the end of February 2011. Each is created one at a time, with care, in our workshop in the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham. 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!
