Post by Mark Helm »

Hey, Guys!

I'm restoring a pre-war B7 and need the pickup worked on.

And if you're gonna suggest Rick Aiello--I got lucky an he agreed to do it!

....funny, his name rhymes with "top dollar." :lol:

Although, well, he is darn good!

I would have asked Todd Clinesmith, but he's still recovering from losing his shop.

Disclaimer, I have not used his services and can't vouch for his work. This is only what a quick search came up with. But there is a price range and contact info:

From his website:

"Lap steels vary widely in design and function. I have rewound hundreds if not thousands of these from the original Rickenbacker Frying Pan to Supros to Fender Professionals. The designs are so different that I can only give a range of pricing for these. They generally run from $70.00 to $100.00 depending on the restoration needed and the style of pickup."

Tom rewound a late 47' Fender Boxcar pickup for me and did a great job. Check with him, he's a good guy.
Thank you and y'all have a good day.
