Pickup Service

Lindy, thank you for bringing my 1950’s Strat pickups back to life. A friend of mine gave me these pickups many years ago in the same condition I sent them to you. I had forgotten about them till recently. They sound great! I don’t know if the old magnets make any difference or not but these pickups have a very nice tone to them. The output levels you suggested work very well together. I installed your volume kit and it works great. If interested you can hear them at http://www.BILLYSTEEELMUSIC.COM on “Swing 59” Thanks, Billy Steele

After receiving my brother’s 53 Tele and finding out how much of a mess it was I chose Fralin to get the pickups back into shape. I was very impressed with the entire crew and Lindy. Professional and attentive. From here on in I would not chose anyone else to do this work. Thank you Fralin.

Lindy is the best. So personable and professional. His Pure PAFs (unpotted) are the best out there! And his pickup repair service is quick, courteous, and fair. We use Lindy Fralin for all our pickup rewinds and repairs. GLSmith, NWVG

I sent pickups from a 68 telecaster I had just purchased for restoration to Fralin pickups. The neck was working ok but the bridge needed a full rewind, both needed to be re-potted and re-magnetized. A few days after mailing my pickups I got the honor of a call from Lindy himself, asking me how I wanted the job done. I opted for a 2% overwind on the bridge. I got my pickups back less than a week later. They sound fantastic. Thanks a lot guys!

I’ve had several rewinds preformed by Lindy and he always calls me personally before he begins to ask questions of how I would like the pickup rewound what am I looking for from this pickup. Great personal service by someone who cares what I want and always delivers exactly what I asked for.

Had Lindy rewind a ‘66 Jaguar neck pup. It was shorted out. I’m restoring a 100% original Jag, and Lindy’s rewind service allowed me to keep it all original instead of a new Fender pup. This means a lot. Haven’t got the guitar all back together yet but can’t wait!!

FANTASTIC rewind on my Tele bridge pickup. Sounds GREAT and Thank You Lindy for helping to identify the vintage…it had been a mystery. I’m One Happy Twanger!

Personal and caring service from Lindy Fralin and Jon Brown. The Big T neck pickup sounds really great in my 69 Tele and after wax potting and re-polarized magnet, it is quiet and silent in combination with the original bridge pickup. Great pickups, good guitar people!

I had been thinking about getting the pickups in my early 60s SG repaired for some time. I’ve had the guitar since 1975, so it’s an old companion to me, although it had fallen out of favor a little bit in the 1980s when everything was pointy or a super strat (Flying V and Charvels at the time). I decided if I was going to get them repaired (I guessed rewound), and that I wanted someone of the highest reputation to do the work, so I chose Fralin Pickups. Almost immediately I got a call from Lindy so he could deliver the news that a rewind was in order. He spent time determining how I would like to proceed. We settled on going basically standard PAF specs, since they are in virtually every way vintage PAFs. The guitar had a Duncan Designed JB in the bridge and an old Duncan pickup that I couldn’t even identify in the neck. The guitar sounds like it did when it was my main axe back in the 70s. Now I need to decide if I want to restore the SG back to it’s original state, or leave it as a record of a 50 year journey that it’s taken with me. Pickups work just as expected and I received them in very short order. Thanks!

I sent my favorite vintage Strat neck pickup in because it had become intermittent. Lindy called me personally to talk over the details of what I wanted, and we decided on a slightly hotter wind like the early 60’s pickups. It came back and sounds perfect!

Im very happy for excellent service and repair of my broken Fender Jazz 1978 pickups. I had them rewound and also raised the middle poles so they align better with the 7.25″ radius. And the price and shipping is perfect. Highly recommended!

Lindy Fralin team:
nice work! You rewound one of my 1974 P-bass coils, and it sounds fantastic! Thank you!

I sent in a lightly damaged new boutique strat neck pickup that didn’t work. After a quick phone call and assesment, you guys fixed my pickup. It is now installed and sounds great. Made my day. This is a great service that I highly recommend for anyone.

I finally got a moment to install my pickup which put my Strat back to original condition, as far as tone goes. I can’t remember when I installed the aftermarket neck P/U but the original had been out of commission for several years, and I had forgotten what the original sounded like. I recorded a sound byte of the the replacement P/U before installing your rewind so I could A/B them to hear the difference. All I can say is I haven’t even recorded the “B” yet because when I fired the Strat up I could tell the difference right away. I really missed that Strat neck sound!!

Thanks, Lindy,

Just a huge “Thank You” for your help getting my vintage CAR strat bridge PU back to sounding fantastic. Even though the news regarding the “original” PU was not good your honest/professional consult and repair/replace was awesome.

The guitar now sounds like a vintage strat should in all PU positions once again! (as well as the repair to the 62 DuoSonic PU – great there as well!!).

Outstanding professional service and products!
