    My 1st real vintage guitar was a 72 strat that I bought in Ohio in 99, the seller disclosed that it was re-fretted and the factory pickups had been re-wound by Lindy Fralin personally. It was THE best sounding strat I had ever heard to date. To this day, I believe that he makes not only the best NEW pickups, but also the best at rewinding them. If you haven't played Fralin pickups, you need to. Really.

    Thanks, great video. Did you sand the end of wire that wrap around the eyelet? I had a faulty cs69 pickup. I found the break and resolder back to the eyelet. But no reading, after i sand a bit of the end of the formvar wire, i check again with a multimeter from a place where i sanded and ground, i did get a reading. Love your feedback. Thanks again

    So Lindy if this was a 63 vintage pickup would you hand wind (hold the wie in you hand as it rolls on) to get the more scatter wound and increased and reduced tension a human would give it? Or don't you think their is an audible difference?

    Do you ever insulate the magnets with lacquer, wax or tape before winding do the wire doesn’t short out on the magnets?

    Been buying y'alls product for 20 years. Still have real 54 strat set rocking and steel pole tele bridge and have had many. My question. I had a 60s tele bridge rewound years ago. Curious if theirs a reason you used plastic coated stranded instead of cloth leads on it? Probably no sonic difference?

      @@jennyfralin357 I looked at about 30 photos of 'blackguard' pickups and every one had the black/ground connected to the eyelet on the right (as seen from the top with eyelets in front). This tells me that the coil wire goes counter-clockwise around the bobbin. Correct? (and thanks for your replay, btw)

  • @alanwoodwind5265
    @alanwoodwind5265 3 года назад

    No unwinding to know how many winds were on it to get it as correct as possible?

    • @jennyfralin357
      @jennyfralin357 3 года назад +1

      That would take an hour or so. I do ask our customers what ohm reading it used to or if that is unknown, what sound (how much power) they want. Many of these old ones came in a range, not all the same.

    You don't need to preserve the original order of the magnets? They're all interchangeable?

    • @jennyfralin357

      They are in a stagger but 4 of them are the same height. I can do this fast so it looks random.

    Since you're already making a new pickup, wouldn't it make more sense to just buy a new pickup and keep the vintage one as is.

    • @jennyfralin357
      @jennyfralin357 3 года назад +2

      If a pickup works when I receive it I will discourage killing to get to get a different sound. If it is dead, usually due to corrosion, It makes sense to rewind it so the guitar still has the original pickup in it. I'm always happy to sell one if that is preferred.

  • @blop1738
    @blop1738 5 лет назад

    Hi Lindy, would you be able to build pickups that sounding exactly like this Eddie's axe? ruclips.net/video/eDI5Nazi3N8/видео.html It sounds so closed or "stuffy-nose" tone, pretty dark, scooped-mids, muffled yet still spanky! I like to much but unfortunately neither strat pickup clones of yours nor one else's that I heard so far, are sounding neither any close to that, so I wonder whetehr you could reproduce exactly that sound, identical. Thanks in advance

    • @blop1738
      @blop1738 5 лет назад

      These samples too please; as you can see those '61 strats did to sound so dark and tight, muffled yet clean, stuffy but spanky. ruclips.net/video/mMvD1zjtrTM/видео.html ruclips.net/video/Gwna3XbMw6Q/видео.html I'm STILL looking for a pups Company that can build a sound like these Eddie's. Still looking for that... the most that I heard are neither close to this sound! Neither close! So could you make you something closer to that?

    Too bad the break wasn't just at the end of the coil so the old wire could have been saved

    you khow i have watched lots of stuff on rewiring fender pick ups etc etc they miss something fender originally designed his guitars as cheap these pick ups are cheap simple things all the munbo jumbo stuff ! it does not matter . if a guitar player has the talent he could play anything and make it sound good ! this is a con .

  • @AlienSexGod
    @AlienSexGod 4 года назад +1

    You didn't try to find the end and unwind one revolution ad reattach on a vintage pickup? This would keep the original windings and sound 99.99% the same. Of course if there was a break in the middle cutting the windings out couldn't be avoided. However you didn't show us this.Also you scatter wind by hand but don't hand wind making varying tension like the originals. Is there no audible sound difference as alleged?

    • @WarriorOfGhengisKhan
      @WarriorOfGhengisKhan 4 года назад +3

      "we don't have our inside wire OR outside wire anymore" .... Meaning: A rewind is the only solution.
      Also, this is a pickup from '67'. So being machine wound with an auto traverse is the CORRECT thing to do.
