Default Need 58' EB-2 Pickup

I have a EB-2 with the original pickup with the black plastic cover, I either need to find a pickup for it or find out who in the USA could rewind the broken one for me, or if I could wind it myself with only knowledge of acoustic repair and setup (not usually an electric guy). or if some one out there would like to trade it for a good electric guitar. I'm easy!

I think Jules had his Ripper pups rewound/repaired by Kent Armstrong but he'd be able to confirm that for sure.

Default pickup rewinds

Yeah Kent Armstrong did mine (actually it was his son Aaron who looks after the UK side of things)

I suspect most pickup manufacturers can do it. Aaron will count the original number of windings and rewind with the same guage wire etc

Highly recommended

I am guessing pole pieces at the bottom of the pup. Seymour Duncan used to do re-winds, as I called about having him (his crew) rewind one for me a few years back. Good luck.
