Van Zandt True Vintage Tele Pickup Set

  

Van Zandt Pickups was started by W. Van Zandt in the late 1980's, but he had been repairing pickups around the Dallas/ area since the early 1960's. Van Zandt worked for years as a machinist and played guitar in country bands since the 1950's. He started rewinding the magnets on pickups for friends and other players, and pretty soon he had a small business going as his reputation grew by word of mouth.

Then started making a few pickups and when players heard the sound of Van Zandt's hand wound home made pickups, they wanted a set also. Being a perfectionist every detail had to be perfect from the wire, and magnets, down to the soldering, he would not sacrifice quality just to produce more pickups. He once bought a winder that would produce 6 pickups at a time, but he was not satisfied with the quality. That time saving winder was soon under a tarp in the corner of his workshop. The tradition and the legacy continues with Van Zandt pickups. Built to capture the 50's and early 60's sound.

Was a 50's tele man and captured that sound. This item is in the category "Musical Instruments & Gear\Guitars & Basses\Parts & Accessories\Guitar & Bass Parts\Pickups". The seller is "visionguitar" and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped worldwide.
