Cheapish Handwound P90s

Hey guys

I bought a set from Reilander a while back, and looking for another set, but budget is tight and looking for a relatively specific spec.

Anyone know of any well priced winders besides Mike?

Thanks

That's a tall order.

A specific, "custom" wound pickup on a tight budget?

How 'bout just reading the specs on GFS pickups and buying the one that is closest to what you want.

Ok it seems cheap is a relative term :)

I'm just looking to find out if there are more chaps that are catering to the cheaper end of the custom market. Not looking for GFS cheap, I mean I might as well stick with what I have there.

I suppose I do have the option of getting a pair of Gibson P90s and just pulling a couple of thousand of turns off :D

Wat se Zuid Afrika!

You can try the Creamery out of the UK, not exactly the cheapest (probably like a 1000 rand per pup - small discount for a set), but hand wound and made to your specs.

Catswhisker Pickups in the UK make awesome pickups to your specs but again with shipping I'd guess about 1,000 rand each.

Hahha thanks folks. Forget how nice TDPRI can be, even giving me pricing in rand! I'm used to importing all my goodies, I'm just upgrading a MIC tokai so don't want to drop $480 on a set of Throbaks or $220 on Lollars etc.

Big Mike Reilander charges $125 for a set, and they sound pretty damn good! Got a 7.2k A5/5 and 8.2k A5/5 that I lent from a friend that's sounding quite good, but looking to get a 7k with small A5s and a 8.5k A5/8. Should hopefully balance things out and make the bridge nice and thick :D

@Hongaku, ek sê niks, speel neet kitaar!! :mrgreen:

Tonerider are very good .Far better than the usual far eastern cheapies .I used them to upgrade PRS SE's

Thanks Martin, but as stated in the post directly before yours, I'm looking for a particuarly low wound set, nothing like the Tonerider P90s.

Ho$h! Poes cool mate :wink:

Sounds like going with Reilander again might be your best bet!

Manlius

US$85 each. I have the Hot Howling Goat bridge pickup and love it. Never gets muddy despite being a little higher output than his vintage wind. I also have some damn fine Manlius humbuckers. Ignore the youtube demos - they don't give any idea of what the pickups sound like. I have Lollars in other guitars, and the Manlius pups are right up there in quality and quite a bit cheaper.

Correction: $15 cheaper per pickup than Lollars. So maybe "a bit" cheaper rather than "quite a bit" cheaper.

I can recommend 3.....Rumpel Pickups are great, inexpensive, hand wound, and Aaron
is now winding p90s!

Vintage Vibe can wind great p90s at a good price.

Tex-tone Pups winds great p90s to your specs at a fair price.

Lastly, try to locate a set of Gotoh alnico olds p90s from a Peavey Firenza. GREAT sounding p90s with plenty of snottiness!

But that's 4!! You want a low wind...forget the Gotoh set and go with the first 3. Call Rumpel now.....

I got a set of Seymour Duncan "Hot" P-90s, for sale. PM me if you're interested. It's the model used by Mike Ness in Social Distortion & Ricky Medlocke of Lynard Skynard.
