Advice please. Coronado pickups

They are of course a quirky size and I'd like to keep the casing. I've tried a couple of the usual suspects in terms of custom pickups but no joy. Any one here got suggestions for a surf minded luthier who can wind a JM style pickup to slit lay different dimensions ?? Thanks Top

I'm not sure whether or not he can help you, but it wouldn't hurt to look. That man does some pretty amazing things, including custom work.

With a little measuring and ingenuity they should be able to "print" you a pair of mounting "rings" to hold those Jazzmaster pickups AND match the body's arch top.

I've never seen one in person so I don't know if they could work, but I'm sure Curtis could help you. — Old punks never die... They just become surf rockers. Top
