Pickup Re-winding Thanks

Post by Tim Tweedale »

My MSA pickup woes are over. I just took it to Dave Vidal in Vancouver, who specializes in pickup repair. It sounds great; I never knew what I was missing out on until now. The sound is way more full, the attack more punchy, the highs less shrill and it hums less. Huge thanks to Dave for re-winding this pickup back up to 17.5k where it was supposed to be, and doing a great job of shielding it too. I would encourage any nearby steel players who need similar work done to contact Dave. His number (given with permission) is 604-437-3694.
Thank you also to Bruce Hamilton and Al Brisco for steering me in the right direction regarding the MSA pickups!
