I've got some old Dekley Pickups that need to be rewound. Does anyone have any suggestions for someone who does this?
Thanks,
Leo |

I'm pretty sure Bob Hoffnar still rewinds pickups.

As far as I know, Jerry Wallace is still doing rewinds. He rewound one of my Sho-Bud pickups, and I'm very happy with the result.

I also rewind. Worked at Gibson and ShoBud and can rewind to your likes. Luthier for 40 years. Looks like I'm not real close though. RP

| A freind of mine who'd worked at Lindy Fralin told me that Lindy would've sent the P-90 type pups in my National to Tom Brantley. I wound up not needing them rewound but, when I talked to Tom he said he rewound stuff like that all the time. |

Tom Brantley does great work and is a super-honest guy to boot. He did the pickups on an old Vega I had and had it sounding sweet!

Thanks for all the input everyone. I contacted Jerry Wallace and he informed me that do to his health he has had to cut back on his work. He only rewinds Emmons and Sho Bud pickups now.
The last I heard from Bob Hoffnar he said he no longer makes or rewinds pickups. That was about a year ago exactly. Correct me if that his changed since.
It looks like there are a few other reliable people to choose from. I will definitely inquire. |

If Jerry Sentell's rewinds are as impressive as the custom pickups he fabricates (and I have no reason to believe they are not), it's a no-brainer to me.
I have ordered three custom lap steel pickups from Sentell: two P-90s with 58mm string spacing, and a humbucker with 58mm spacing. The P-90s sound better than the Gibson originals, and the humbucker sounds fantastic.
I have projects in the works that will require three and possibly four custom pickups. Guess who I'm gonna call? |

| I just had Jerry Wallace rewind 2 Sho Bud pickups. He does great work. His Truetone pickups sound fantastic too. He told me when I ordered the work that he's only rewinding Sho Bud and Emmons pickups at this time as he's super busy building new. He rewinds the Emmons and Sho Buds because they're so similar in design to his new pickups. |
