Timbucker rewind or?

Hi everyone

I have a neck position double cream Timbucker EdA pickup that needs to be rewound. I was playing my lester today and i went to raise the pickup and i think it got caught on the ring and broke the windings, because now it is dead and i get no readings...it worked before i adjusted it....The cover was off. I purchased these from a LPF member a ways back and they worked fine till i adjusted the hieght. Does anybody now how to get in touch with Tim White? or is there someone else you can recommend?

Thanks
BP

I actually have the same problem. Mine is the bridge though. I didn't adjust mine. I realized the tape was loose and stuck to the ring. Then I realized the windings were loose on the bobbin.. I plugged it in and it sounds like a single coil. Does anyone know if Tim is around and maybe willing to repair? I got mine straight from him many years ago.

Or does anyone know of someone who can do a faithful to the original rewind?

I hate this. It's my number 1 guitar (R8) and the best tone I could ever want.

You both don't need a rewind, you just need a repair. Some on the outer winding have to be unwound and reattached to the braided hookup wire. Rather a 30 minutes job than a rewind.

a suggestion on who should do it? Someone that could do it and recapture the original sound?
