Interesting, as I don’t call myself a pickup winder! I am a guitar builder! I DO wind pickups too, and I think that a do a decent job at it, but I am not a pickup winder and I don’t try to pose as being one.
No hostility or disrespect aimed to you personally. It is your marketing some of us find a bit hard to digest. If you are so proud of your work (good for you, really), why don’t you stand by your products without trying to cash in on Peter Green’s good name?
And BTW, welcome to this forum. If you decide to stay on, I know for sure that your contribution will be highly appreciated.
Interestingly is that I am a pickup winder who builds guitars... In fact 2 this year so far and carving out another sometime this coming week.
As for standing by my products without trying to cash in on PG. I find that statement interesting. My products have been doing fine before I announced these pickups. Cashing in on Peter Green name is not what I feel like I am doing. In fact, I am not to sure that I may keep this as a set I will do as a regular base model. I made these pickups when my customers asked and just like some guitar builder who makes "Tele" or a "Strat" style guitar. You make what the customer wants. I never like the whole mag flip and presto you have PG. I had a correspondance over the coarse of 3-4 months with someone who knew the details of the pickups and he gave it to. His exact words here, Now that you got it. Watch the naysayers tear you apart. His words have rang true since the day I announced them. Hate mail that I am a liar, that I am trying to milk PG's name and my favorate, what makes you think that someone really passed the correct recipe? Oh, I can't forget the porn spam that has send my way as well to fill my email inbox. That was a nice bonus!
Well, Thank you for the welcome. I have been a lurker here for a while and a signed on member as of January (I donated here last night as well). I build guitars as well. As for my contribution, I have nothing accept my passion to wind pickups and build guitars. If someone asks, I have no problem helping anyone who winds pickups if they need somehing answered. Feel free to email me since my time is limited during the day with work and at night, family first. So I may not see your question if you just post it on the forum. I sure do thank every one here since I have learned quite a lot in tricks in guitar building thanks to this place. A very wonderful place it is... Thanks!
