Back in the mid 60’s, I was in my school band. I played bass, and I had a Hofner Senator bass. It played ok but the output from the pickup was very low so I had to max out my little amp. Thinking back, the valve distortion was nice.
Awesome! Did it have the blade pickup? Even Paul McCartney replaced the blade pickup in his base for the staple style. I think this one sounds great now with the rewind. 👍
I used to have a Hofner Telecaster copy that had pickups that look almost exactly like this one. The rest of the guitar was a bit crap but I really liked the sound of the pickups, so much so that 40 years later they're the only parts that I still have from that gutar. The only difference is that on mine the central bar was sort of stepped to be set up for a wound third string, which is a bit unusual, but I got to like it.
The old tele copies were awesome, but they needed a fair bit of work to get them there. So many variations on the pickups, I've never seen a stepped blade that's really interesting.
LIke the series....I'm restoring a 69 Kay KB-1 bass and face the same pickup issue....dead...since it's a surface mount pickup I'm going to have to work up a way to rewind...I've had very good luck using fish glue rather than titebond....more like hide glue and I think a bit easier to "undo" should that ever be necessary...
Nice! It’s quite satisfying to rewind a pickup. I’d like to try fish glue, never used it before but I have a couple of acoustics to repair and might try to get some. 👍
@@RisingSunGuitarMods, Ted Woodford swears by fish glue because it softens and melds with traces of old hide glue. He has a lot of guitar restoration videos on his RUclips channel.
@@goodun2974 yep I’ve been subbed to his channel for a very long time. I always wonder about fish glue in humid climates though but still will give it a go.
Sometimes there’s no other option. If it’s vintage I keep the dead components in a bag even if they are dead. That way at least the original parts are still there. 👍

Your Ancestors? That’s a wonderful thought. We all should have ancestors that help us out in moments when instinct trumps specifications.
lol, whatever works I say. The pickup ended up sounding amazing so I guess there is something to be said about feeling it.
That pickup winder is the bomb! Or a bomb 😂
The later I reckon bro! 🤣
Good job!
Seems so cool to wind your own pickups. Looking forward to seeing it finished.
Pretty satisfying to rewind an old pickup. I’m looking forward to seeing if it sounds any good. 👍
Homemade winder... love it!
It got the job done. 😁
Great work! I can’t wait to see it done.
Thanks man, working on the next part now. The pickup sound actually surprised me.

Cheers man. 🤘🏼

I'm really looking forward to the final product.
Next episode will be the final. Lots to do so might be a big one.
I have a 60's Egmond hollow body with similar pickups. . . unfortunately i couldn't save the pots or jack.
