What a massive improvement to that middle pickup you made there. I used to wind pickups 300 years ago. You wouldn't know cause you don't speak to others. The dinosaurs used to take me swimming 🏊♂️ Men are world famous liars. Deal with it.

I put a 1 meg pot just on the bridge pickup volume and now I have plenty of jangle from my 91 Rick 360/12 allthough this was just abit of a bodge quick job. I’d love to do exactly what you’ve done here! Do you know what resistance your pots are here? I think I’d go 500k when I do mine, hopefully soon ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

Thanks for the video, I prefer the PAF's but the Maxons sound good too. I think they probably are similar quality to a modern high quality pickup like a Throbak etc.

Great video. I hope to visit Wales someday, as my family history points there. I live in east Tennessee, USA.

The way you handle that pointed round Cottmann watercolor brush makes me wonder if perhaps you're no stranger to the process of the good ol' ink and wash technique? Maybe I'm reading into it a bit much? I enjoy watercolor painting and guitar playing, so I couldn't help but notice that little round blue detail brush you used to apply the vinegar to the wood sample.

Would be awesome to do this but I stay in africa where its impossible to get a job thanks to affirmative actdion (reverse racism) Nobody supplies those parts and nobody cares because everybody here is too stupid to even know their head from their arse so why bother at all anymore. Nobody cares...africa is obsessed with rap. They don't care about guitar or harp or whatever instrument. All they care about is rap. spitting bullshit lyrics as if they all gona be 2pac. imagine living in that alternate universe of bullshit.

I had to laugh at Dave Hunter's article about how there's no such thing as "hand winding". He stated the obvious; how nobody sits down at a table with a bobbin and a spool of wire and winds it with their bare hands. I laughed and thought "nobody thinks that!" which may not be ENTIRELY true, but come on! The problem is, he doesn't know what "hand winding" actually means, which is bizarre, considering his profession and seeing as how there are thousands of videos on youtube of people doing it - like this one. Really like this one.

My dear old grandad did wind pickup wire by hand. Well that is to say a hand cranked spinner and guiding the wire with the other. I still have the little jig in my shed. He built it from the guts of an old clock and its mounted on a breadboard. He taught my dad how to make them and me too, but i have never been able to make any money from it as pickups are easy to get now.

@capaya8139 honestly I doubt they weren't hand cracked in the 40s and 50s, at the most they were very primitive electric machines controlled by a foot pedal, there were no computer algorithms. I mean when did electric sewing machines really come in? 60s and 70s? And that was a way bigger industry. My grandma was a seamstress and she used a foot pedal cranked non electric sewing machine up until she retired in the early 2000s cause that's what she trained on, and she was a trained typist too, and used an old school typewriter her whole life. I dunno, I've got some awsome old books about fender with some great photos, guess I'll take a look

I gotta go to work in 6 hours, was about to go to bed… but now I’m here having a cigarette and watching this beautiful video. Funny is that I was not even looking for guitar repaint videos, was just watching some upgrade ideas for my firebird… btw I didn’t find any good but at least the algorithm referred this video to me randomly and I loved it. Great video mate, just subscribed :) Out of curiosity if you don’t mind me asking, how much would be such type of work roughly? Without relic just the repaint. I was not looking for such mod for my guitar but I want to be prepared if I decide to do such thing in the future :)

You missed the transition period P90 covers in 1962, which were nickel plated black plastic covers. The plating didn't wear well, so they soon switched to nickel plated metal covers. I have a 62 ES-330TD in tobacco burst, transition nickel plated balck plastic P90 covers, Bigsby trem, Stinger neck, and tiger maple back. Have had it for eons and love it!! Those P90s are incredible.

Fantastic video, very educational, thank you! The chimeyness in those pickups is insane, what a great tone the 50’s spec low-output pickups had. Is the chimey tone more down to the resistance, the wire gauge or coating? The magnets? Potting? I’ve always been super curious about what causes the chime and bell-like tones in vintage strat pickups! Nothing harsh nor hairy-fuzzy. So warm and clean.

They’re incorrect about the vibrato on the brownface. The 1960-1963 Fender vibrato circuits use three 12ax7s to create a harmonic pitch-based vibrato, not the volume based tremolo that began in 1964 with the blackface circuits.

Great to watch - and very informative. I have a similar DIY-built amplifier and it's great. One question: I've heard people say that you should use a separate bolt for the protective earth connection, and also that a crimp connector has greater longevity than a solder connection. This is all about the vibration - both in terms of joints getting loosened and movement-induced fatigue in a critical electrical joint. What are your thoughts on this, please?

your saying a switching mono jack - but that looks like a stereo jack? Are they called something different in the US - I can't find a "switching mono jack" for sale anywhere and I can't really quite see what the jack is in the video - sure looks like a TRS stero jack? But it seems you wouldn't want a stero jack in this particualr situation because you'd want it to be shorting to not blow the amp
