Guitar pickup repairs and guitar rewiring and mods in BALMORAL, Queensland for sale
My name is Dave Leddin I am an ex Australian Army Electronics Technician and I offer guitar pickup repairs, guitar electronics repairs and rewiring. I have been winding pickups for the last 7 years. I ran a successful vintage guitar and repair business in Vancouver BC Canada, I am home now and keen to offer my knowledge and expertise. I have my own well established line of handwound Strat and Tele pickups. Some of My Leddin pickups can be heard on Youtube posted by various artists that I have worked with in Canada.
I have rewound all kinds of pickups from a 1946 Rickenbacker Lapsteel Horse shoe to modern day pickups such as new Eastwood P90s. I have rewound 1966 Tele pickups, Gibson PAFs, Vintage fenders of all sorts, a MIJ Rick Bass copy and recently a Morales Mosrite copy and 66 Mastersound Bass pickup. I have rewound a lot of different pickups and I bring a lot of experience to the table.
I have just decided to open back up as a repair shop focusing mainly on electric guitar wiring, pickup reapirs, hardware installations and setups. I stock a good selection of CTS pots, Orange drop caps, switches and vintage cloth wire. I charge $40 per hour for work and most pickup installs and jobs will take about that. Archtop work requiring removal of the pots is generally 2-3 hours for an example.
For pickup rewinds I charge $60 per single coil pickup rewind and $40 per coil for humbuckers. Not all pickups need to be rewound though and I charge $15 -20 for a single coil repair and $30 for covered humbuckers not requiring a rewind.
