Leo’s personal 1960s winder-1a

Since I’m here messing around in G&L Custom Shop I want you to see what Leo’s personal 1960s winder looks like today.

Johnny restored it and added the swamp ash base with a Leo Fender decal. I tell you, he’s so next level on this stuff it blows my mind.

Anyway, imagine the customer who orders their G&L CS guitar with hand wound pickups. Sure, lots of people can do that. But what a trip it is to consider that your pickups were wound on Leo’s personal winder, in his building, on his street, in the town where he made it all happen. Of course (?) it doesn’t make it any better, but it is frickin’ cool.

But wait, there’s more! Check out Leo’s 1940s-ish desk lamp there. So your pickup is wound under the glow of Leo’s old lamp and never mind the bulb is new because you’ll kill the flow. ; ). I can geek out so hard on this lol
