Epiphone Coronet Archtop Pickup Rewind
Pickups · San Antonio
Description
Here’s a unique pickup in the shop for rewinding. I found very little information online about these. It is out of a ‘41-‘42 Epiphone Coronet archtop. The coils were wound between layers of tape and I had no hope of repairing it. Since it can be removed without altering it I decided to leave it intact and build a new bobbin.
After consulting with the owner I decided to wind the new coil with the most similar pickup I could think of, a Charlie Christian, with 38 awg wire.
