Need to include people who make deadly sounding red valve one's ...

Manfred-Klose

OK the amp tech section has its own thread now, under Instrument amplification.
this thread will only be for guitar building/repair related stuff now.

Hi I am looking for someone in Johannesburg who could fit some 57 PAF Humbuckers on my M800. Any suggestions.

Shibbibilybob

Grant Fouche at smashing Guitars, which is kinda Rand park side, or mando at Music Connection.
Either of them could fit your pickups, with any fancy capabilities they may have...and they both do a very good set up as well.

About

Rude Rock'n'roll Pups (Pty) Ltd is an electric-guitar pickup manufacturer in Jo'Burg, South Africa, offering a variety of pickup products. Anything from jazz to metal. We do it all. See Products box for pricing.

Mission

To provide hand wound tone & quality at a price that won't leave you with rusty strings.

Description

Rude Rock'n'Roll Pups is a small company that deals with each client on a personal level. Our growing line-up of models has been developed hand in hand with some picky customers so we know they do the business, night after night.

All rude rock pups are hand wound & assembled with the utmost attention to detail, using the finest ingredients. If one of our standard pickups is not quite there, we'll create a custom one for you. We offer many choices of magnets, wire gauges and different pole piece configurations to fine tune each pickup model. All our pickups are guaranteed for life (conditions apply*) and we offer a 30 day swap-out if you need something a little different (provided they're in as-new condition and the leads have NOT been shortened).

All our high output pickups are vacuum wax potted to eliminate microphonic feedback & provide protection against corrosion, extending their lifespan. We'd like your kids to play our pickups one day. Low output pickups are available un-potted on request.

*We'll repair or replace-at our discretion- any pickup which we deem to be faulty or defective. This excludes physical damage from impacts or string snags and damage due to excessive exposure to moisture. This warranty only applies to the original purchaser.

I have decided that the only guy who knows what he's doing in my opinion
is Grant Fouche of Smashing guitars. Many pro's use him.

Unfotunately I dont have a number for him since my phone got stolen. He's in randburg.

Yes I was also impressed with about 3 other guys in Pretoria, but after repeated service
I realized tha many of them were unreliable, overpriced, unenthusiastic, HITTING on females I
referenced to them for guitar setup, Screwing up priceless guitar fretboards with bad judgement!
So after all this I wouldnt go back to any of them.

Yeah Grant is the only one I'd ever use as well. He also makes guitars and I've tried some... yes, I'd definitely cheat on my strat with one of his guitars. Very cleanly made and effortless to play (seriously effortless... no fighting whatsoever). I think Mike has tried one before and perhaps Joel has too

Shocked to see Francios Traut from Traut Guitarworx in Cape Town wasn't even mentioned. He's absolutely brilliant
