Replacement Pickup for Shobud Professional

Post by Rick Contino »

Hi All:

Bob Metzger and I are having a hard time finding a suitable rewind job for my the original pickups on my 1973 Shobud Professional. Has anyone found a comparable replacement that can be bought new? I really like the tapped single coil...is anyone making those anymore?

THANKS!

Nick Fryer (he is here on the SGF) has been rewinding (and I believe making from scratch) Sho-Bud pickups. I have seen happy testimonials and he'd be my first choice if I were looking for this for myself.

Definitely contact Nick Fryer. Jeff Surrat is putting some of Nick's pickups in new Sho Pros.

Rick, Harry Jackson rewinds them. What better person to do it?
