Does anyone know the Impedance of the Pickup on the Wright Custom ?

I tried to buy one that they said was “Dead”, I said Great, I’ll buy it Dead, and fix it myself,... But, the seller had it “Rewound” before he sold it to me,... :~/. I would have rather it was Original and Dead,... at least. I could have Spec’d it out,... maybe even fixed it,... I’ve repaired a number of pickups that were “Dead”,... It just take a lot of patience,.. unwinding, repairing, by hand,... and then rewinding it with the Original Magnet Wire.

Fred, Sounds like yours was from the 50's..

Nick, Looks Great!!!!

David, this is the only picture I find right now of the old Sierra I bought via Irby Mandrel back in the early 60's. Even had the Wright V/T pedal. Still have the VP but the guitar is gone. I think it ended up around Seattle. The guy that sold it for $500 wasn't suppose to sell it, he was supposed to sell it back to me if he didn't want to keep it.

Thanks Roy...A lot of people didn't know Barbara's Dad Irby was a salesmen for Standel Amps ... The Sierra was created to be part of the Standel product line...and my Dad got him the job....

Yes, on the Standel amps. I already had the S80 amp when I got the Sierra. Standel hadn't made/sold the amp yet to go with the Sierra line. Wish I still had that amp.
Good to hear from you David.
