Peter Green Humbucker Set

By popular demand I have made some Peter Green humbucker sets for various clients of mine. Please contact me if you’re interested in having a set wound.

Here’s what Wayne B had to say about the Peter Green Humbuckers I wound for him:

“I am more than impressed” – Custom wound Peter Green humbuckers

“I gave Rich a brief of what I wanted and he more than delivered.

I had only had my Epiphone Les Paul for 4 days when I delivered it to Rich for him to make a set of Humbuckers based upon the ones Peter Green/Gary Moore famous old Gibson.

And I am more than impressed with Rich’s take on them. Not only are they as clear as a bell they are also tonally amazing but they sing for days. Rich also made them coil tappable for added versatility.

And I am very hard to please as anyone who knows me will tell you.

So if you are still searching for sonic Aural pleasure then stop reading this and contact Rich…..I personally guarantee you will not regret it.”

All of the above are just £75.00 per pickup (plus P&P) or £120 (plus P&P) for a matched set of two. Hot Humbuckers are just £80 each or £150.

The Peter Green Humbucker Set is priced at £185 for a matched set of two. Please visit the Tonefinder Shop to order or contact me to discuss. As each pickup is hand made to order, please allow up to 21 days for delivery (I normally try to fulfil orders within 14 days). All values stated above at +/- 10% and all pickups a wax potted by me unless requested otherwise.

Also, all humbuckers will be made with braided hook up wire but can be made with 4-core cable for coil tapping. Please specify if you want coil tapping options.

“I have to say….You’re an absolute genius” – Custom pickups

"I spent a number of months searching the net for a set of John Mayer signature pickups as over many years of session work, his sound was one I couldn't achieve.

I contacted Rich a few months ago with what I wanted and I left him to his work and I wasn't disappointed. The pickups themselves I can't find a single fault with. They have a very warm mid but keep the springy sound of my Fender Strat so they're perfect for what I wanted. They have an amazing clean sound but they really achieve the ultimate blues tone with a bit of gain. Rich knows what he's doing and does it well, I would recommend Tonefinder to anyone looking for the perfect tone."

Great service – Tonefinder

I had an issue with a few frets that had worn (and one that was lifting). Richard was able to sort the whole fretboard out for me quickly and without hurting my wallet.

I also asked him to perform a full set up on my guitar (2002 Fender Stratocaster) and I must say that it's never played better.

I can't recommend Richard at Tonefinder enough. Fantastic service. Double A*!

“Thanks again for your care and attention and quick turnaround.”

Russ contacted me regarding a Marshall 2266C which had zero output. After some fault finding, replacement tubes and a thorough testing the amp was returned to Russ. Later on that evening I received a very kind email from him so here's an extract:

"Hi Rich, just a quick note to say the Marshall survived my first hour of noodling after your TLC, and sounds great. Thanks again for your care and attention and quick turnaround."

“Superb set up and now plays like a dream” – Fender “Jerry Donahue” Signature Telecaster

Just got my JD Tele back from a complete refret. Fantastic job Rich. Really pleased with it. Superb set up and now plays like a dream. Great job thanks.

‘The Reverend’ – Single coil pickup

“The set of ‘The Reverend’ pickups Rich installed in my Tokai strat has completely transformed it from a decent guitar into a tone monster! The higher output single coils have more bite and definition whilst still giving the distinctive strat tone that I was looking for. I mainly play blues so these suit me perfectly for that SRV sound but the clean tone of these pickups is fantastic – think ‘Coming Back to Life’ by Pink Floyd. They also give me a much wider range of tonal options and I’m even converted to liking the middle pickup on it’s own!

Having already had a complete refret and ‘Greasebucket’ rewire on my Tokai from Tonefinder, adding these pickups has left me with a guitar that absolutely sings!

Cheers Rich!”
