I sold the red GVCG I had (as you know)... after I sold it, the pickups were either 'thin' or 'not working' for Oliver Leiber, so I gave him a new set of GVCG's. Apparently, if you take a reading off of a pickup, while it is in the guitar, you can get a false reading that the pickup is still good (due to the pots...). The pickup must be removed and then both leads used to get an ohm reading. If the pickup is dead, then Lindy Fralin is apparently the one to do a rewind (to whatever specs you want). On the back of this pickup is a little stamped or written " ? " which I have asked Jonathan at GVCG about... he tends to be very busy with projects... but if he gets back to me, I will let you know what he says about the " ? " (Oliver's tech might have put it there too).. and maybe Jonathan will also tell me what type of pickups he originally used in his Tele's, and whether they were Lollar's or not etc. I will also keep everyone appraised of what Lindy says and how the rewind goes (and sounds). How many out there have done rewinds on their dead pickups? Not me... not YET... I'm a 'first timer'.
