Title: Fender WRHB Re-issue
Post by: Copperhead on July 28, 2010, 03:28:01 PM
....in the mail, Express to Bare Knuckle. Tim said no problem rewinding them to Nailbomb specs!!  ^^
Can't wait!!
Just waiting on the pups and neck, neck will ship this week.
The new bridge lines up perfectly, no drilling needed.
This will be a stealth rock machine '72 Deluxe Roadworn.

That's cool, I'll be interested to see the outcome.  :D

Presumably they could be rewound to most other BKP humbucker specs, with a change of magnets if necessary.

cant see why not - the reissues are pretty standard humbucker bobbins... its would just be the stud/screw layout that would have to change

Pups should be here very soon.
Here's a little before and after on the neck:

It looks like it's been on one of the rings of an electric cooker?

Tele is lookin' good, I like the idea of having the Wide Range humbuckers rewound.  I changed my own '72 Tele Custom RI to a P90 in the neck and like the look of it as well as the tone - massive improvement.

Thanks all!
I get to go pick it up in exactly 7 hours, yes I'm counting the minutes.
Then starting tomorrow through Friday I've got shows every night, so hopefully it's working well and will get a workout this week!
Good pictures soon!
Edit: Of course I'll give a report on the rewinds!
