I just sent a pickup from my Dual Professional to Jerry Wallace out in Arizona for a rewind and general overhaul.He had it done in less that a week.replaced the old cloth wires with sheilded cable and it sounds better than the old 'good' one that is on the other neck.Highly recommended!
I also got an Emmons style pickup for an S-10 I just bought and it,too is great sounding.
I just thought you should know.

K,
Was this pickup rewound to the original specs? I have a spare one that is open. It seems that the sound could be improved with a few more windings on the core.

| I believe it was.Jerry said he consulted some Fender literature about that style pickup.When I said sounded 'better' I mean less buzz and maybe just a little more punch or life or whatever-but not MARKEDLY different- so my guess is that it is at the Fender specs. |

Rick , The rewind I did for Kevin has slightly more windings than the original Fender..I can add a bit more, However due to the construction of the winding bobbin there is a limit as to how much wire can be added..
Thanks for the interest in my pickups and rewinding to you both..Below is a link to my web site.

| Just for my info and for future reference, is this the trapezoid pickup or the older rectangular PU Dual Pro? |

Jon, these are the trapezoid pickups..A bit unusual in construction..

| Thanks Jerry. The day will come when I will finally get this restoration under way and then I'll find out if my DP PUs work ok or not. I've got your site filed in case. |
