We resurrect classic tones of the ’50s & ’60s —

one scatter-wound coil at a time.

WHY WE WIND

Born from frustration with generic “vintage-style” pickups, Retrowound began in a garden shed in Suffolk. Today, every set is still wound by one pair of hands—mine—using 1950s batch-grade machines and period-correct lacquered wire.

Every set is continuity-checked, DC-resistance-measured, and visually inspected under magnification before it leaves the bench—so you know it’s spec-perfect straight out of the box
