6-string pickup replacement

Jeffrey Soble · Post by **Jeffrey Soble** » 17 Mar 2023 5:59 pm

I acquired this Granada recently. They were made by the same company that made Jedson, the Fender Deluxe 6-string clone. The pickups are original so needless to say they’re dead. I’m considering 2 options and need some help with where to find the right parts for either.

1. Replace with 1 “soap bar” single coil or a humbucker, in which case I’d need to replace the plate. Does anyone know where I could find one?

2. Replace with 2 single coils and possible remove the blend-pot. If I do that, I’d like to find pups as close to what would be in the old Fenders to get the original 6-string Stringmaster sound.

Can anyone help with some suggestions?

Thanks!

Get them rewound.

Yup, someone who makes and offers pickups can rewind them for you, right to Stringmaster spex.

They look like the pick ups Fender Mustangs have, if you're looking for a quicker and/or temporary fix.

Talk to Jerry Sentell. Quick turn around. Excellent work. He can repair what you have or probably has what you need in stock.....

Another recommendation for Chris & Jerry Sentell. In addition to numerous new custom pickups, they have rewound both Rickenbacker and Gibson pickups for me, and each and every one of them has been excellent.
