Anyone handwound there own pickups?
Fancy having a go on a dead pup i have and it seems fairly straightforward but are the results likely to be any good?
Thoughts anyone?

Bargain methinks.

Yeah. Unless you're really keen on trying it yourself, just to do it, that sort of service is a really good deal.

I've got the bits for a p90.. building a winder is my next project when I've got a few days free.

Well i finally sent the pup to catswhisker last friday and got it back yesterday - very pleased, rewound,rewired,cleaned and wax potted all for just under 18 pounds which included postage.
You can even see the original pencil date on the underside now 11-3-67.
Hopefully gonna fit it tonight.

HuRb did it with a cordless drill i believe..

With an old sewing machine, you're almost there.

A record turntable can be used too, I've heard.

Did Sublimedo not have a bash at this?

Is that the 67 bronco pup you had rewound? I'd like to hear some samples, if possible　お願いします。

Yes, thats the one, i haven't fitted it yet tho.
I did try rewinding myself using a contraption i devised connected to a drill but the wire kept snapping.
For the money tho, in hindsight i think it was well worth it.

If you have a fixed vice an electric drill will do, sewing machine is better as you can use the pedal to go faster at times once you've got it going. I plan to have a crack at making some buckers and P90s as well.
