How To Wind A Guitar Pickup - 1957 Stratocaster Pickup Restoration

In this episode we head up to House Of Tone Pickups in Chester with Huw’s 1957 Stratocaster to sort out the middle pickup. The Bridge and neck settings sound like the real deal, but there’s something about the middle pickup that doesn’t quite cut it. Mat Bascetta identifies the issue and gives us a masterclass in scatter winding, magnet measuring and vintage pickup restoration. 0:00 Intro Jam 0:36 Intro 1:24 Scatter Winding Explained 6:10 Magnet Wire 9:58 Suspect Stratocaster Coil 10:39 Tone Test Before 12:29 Under The Cover 15:12 Measuring Magnets 18:25 Coil Removal & Prep 20:45 Rewinding 29:29 Leadout Wires 32:29 Wax Potting 34:53 Reassembly 37:12 Tone Test After 39:00 Outro Jam Huge thanks to our friend Matt Bascetta at House Of Tone (www.houseoftonepickups.com) for hosting us and putting up with all of our questions.
