Old Emmons Pickup Rewinding

Post by James Pennebaker »

Was loading in for a session today and my Steel was dropped face down in the case. I opened it up and set up to find my E-9 neck pickup coil had come out of it's bottom bobbin and was dead. It was actually hitting the underside of the strings of my E-9 neck. I've since taken it out of the guitar and it's toast! So, I've purchased a George L's E-66 to get me through for now (I have another session tomorrow) but I am sick over the loss of my original pickup. My guitar is a 74 Emmons D-10. WHO DOES AUTHENTIC EMMONS PICKUP REWINDING??? I know I should know these things and I do when it comes to guitars, but not steels. I want that pickup back the way it was!
Thanks in advance for any assistance and advice.

Check with Bobbe Seymour in Goodlettsville. He probably has some original Emmons pickups around.

Send it to Bill Lawrence.

You can reach him at www.billlawrence.com

Bill re-wound a single coil for me on one of my old push pulls and did an excellent job.

When it comes to pickups, nobody knows more about pickups than Bill Lawrence.
He is the Man, The Myth and The Legend...
(Sorry Bill)
