Amazing video...thanks Lindy for the insight into your craft.
always wondered how that was done. thanks for letting us watch!
Beautiful. Excellent workmanship!
Lindy Fralin, Best pickup manufacturer there is.
Thank you Lindy for sharing Your expertise.
Excellent job! One day I want to meet you in person. I'm from Brazil
Cool and rare video to see,thanks Lindy 😎🤘
Thanks! Great video, fantastic sounding pickups!
This is AWESOME. Plan to try out some LF pickups soon!
I bought the Lindy Fralin blues pickups for my Fender Telecaster...they are the best.... They sound great on all three positions...
That was a real treat. Thank you for the video.
incredible video!! i've never seen this done before.
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.
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?
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
Wow!
How did you keep track of which hole the magnets were in?
Needs a backing track from the Bopcats ;-)
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?
Hi! Do you have a closeup video on the part where you install the base plate? I'd like to see how you attached it appart from the masking tape and solder point. Candle wax? Power Glue? Thanks!
😐👍🎶🎶
great video!
whats the song?
So the start wind is at the BLACK lead side, counter clock-wise to the finish wind on the WHITE lead side. Correct?
Yes, most Fenders the black was ground.
@@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)
No unwinding to know how many winds were on it to get it as correct as possible?
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?
They are in a stagger but 4 of them are the same height. I can do this fast so it looks random.
Anyone know where he got that jig to set up the bobbin?
@@blancobasnett noooooooooo
I can’t see to put some insulation before winding...????? Error of editing?
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.
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.
Hi Lindy, would you be able to build pickups that sounding exactly like this Eddie's axe? czcams.com/video/eDI5Nazi3N8/video.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
These samples too please; as you can see those '61 strats did to sound so dark and tight, muffled yet clean, stuffy but spanky. czcams.com/video/mMvD1zjtrTM/video.html czcams.com/video/Gwna3XbMw6Q/video.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?
cool info :). next time, leave off that music :)
Too bad the break wasn't just at the end of the coil so the old wire could have been saved
We do repair as many as we can, they have to have the start (inside) wire though.
The guy's phone number is on the invoice.. oops
If you order from him he will call you personally and go over your order in detail explain everything to you very nice guy
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 .
LINDY FRALIN... IS A GUY??
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?
"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.
@@WarriorOfGhengisKhan "we don't have our inside wire OR outside wire anymore" they can often be found one turn in.
What was the final reading on that one, or did I miss it?
This customer asked for around 7k.
