guitar repair

Glyn Evans is a New Zealand based guitar luthier and pickup winder with more than 25 years of experience. Glyn studied under legendary guitar repairman Ted Lee where he learned the fine art of guitar repair and pickup winding while studying the City of Leeds College of Music in the North of England.

In 2020 Glyn decided to stop repairing guitars and pursue pickup building full-time. In today's episode we talk about finding the right pickups for me to make my Stratocaster sound like I want it to sound and how the pickup can be so important for the tone of the guitar overall.
