I have three Stringmaster style Fender chrome pickups that I recently had professionally restored with new winds from Sidels Music in Lewiston Idaho.
They were my dads from his non pedal Fenders, and I've kept them, but never used them. They were rewired summer of last year.
Values: Pickup one is 9,725 winds at 8.41K. Pickup two is 9,953 winds at 8.87k. Pickup three is 9,951 winds at 8.53k.
I'm never sure of cost for these type of things, but checking ebay, it seems to be a range around $85 for used. However since these have been rewound, I'd like to get $100 each, or all three for $250.
Any question you can post or contact me via forum.
After buyer receives pickup, I will give the buyer 24 hours to view and test pickups with option of returning them-buyer pays return ship.


Thanks Duane Becker

Duane,
Those are from an early Stringmaster.

Erv, I cant say 100% that those are from the early stringmasters, but my dad had two of the early ones. I've seen the early guitars and pickups, and they look like it.
We've had them since I can remember and that was 1968 when I started playing the steel. My dad bought his 2 stringmasters in the mid 1950s-I know that for sure. And some point he moved to a single neck lap by the 1970's, and I'm not sure why he took them out of the guitars, probably cause they weren't working and planned to,but never got them fixed. Send me your email at dbeck1234ab@gmail.com and I'll email you some pics. Duane Becker

Duane,
I have a couple of early Stringmasters from the 50's and they have the chrome pickups. Sometime after that Fender started using the black pickups and also added the blending wheel under the bridge cover.
The model with the chrome pickups looks like this:

I am withdrawing the three pickups that were for sale, sale was pending and potential buyer decided not to purchase, plus it was the only interested party. PLEASE CLOSE
