We can also build custom wound pickups to your preference- feel free to come in and have a discussion about any mods you're considering and we'll give you a quote!

    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, at our workshop in the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham. We have demo guitars fitted with each model of pickup so you can test and choose the ones for you.


    We have 50's, early 60's, overwound early 60's and late 60's S-Type pickups. Early 50's and 60's T-Type neck and bridge pickups and 50's Humbuckers;and also P90's -  both traditional and slightly overwound.
