What is pickup restoration?
This is a process that I do when making a pickup look and sound when it was first manufactured. I try to repair pickups without rewinding, as many pickups don’t need to be rewound if they are not working. There can be many other problems that cause a pickup not to work. If the DC resistance doesn’t read on your meter, there is a possible chance your meter or leads are broken or it needs a new battery. Always double check that the magnets and wiring are properly aligned within a pickup. At times when we restore a pickup, we may have to fabricate a part on a milling machine or make a screw on a lathe. Most of the work is done by hand and careful detail is given. At times vintage parts are fabricated to make the pickup work as new without looking like the work was done.
