We are concentrating on getting your pickups wound, tested, and shipped. We are also placing a temporary hold on new orders until March 14th to help us catch up. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
If you have an order that you are waiting on and would like to check your status. You can call us at 530-221-0841.

Please take the time to read.
For any customers looking for WB Pickups before we have the online ordering back up. Next week, Greg at BCR Music will have a few of his Greg Winds in stock along with some Custom 67 Greens. The Greg Winds are a custom set based on the specs that Greg wanted. These pickups have been stage tested by Brad Whitford of Aerosmith and a few others that will be named in the near future with our updated web site change. These pickups have a spec reading of 8K on the neck and 12K on the bridge wound some customs specs that Greg requested. These kill…

Here’s a quick update. We are busy as hell and we are working non-stop! LOL! Loving every minute of it so thank you all…. While battling the Flu bug that hit the whole WB family! 
Oh, it seems that there is some BS about WB that may competitor motivated. Thank you and keep up the great work spreading WB’s name around! Big Thumbs Up! 
We have to pay our loan sharks off and our attorney…;)
Now we here at WB strongly wish that our customers and friends don’t play into it. We thank you for standing up for us but please know that it just adds more to the BS.. No school house tug a wars please.
:)
OK…….
Big John Bridges has some some great gear here for sale… So please take a look and see if there is something you might be interested in!
Some of you may or may not know that John’s house flooded a little while ago. He managed to save his gear. A true musician but due to some added cost that Fema did not cover. He has to come up with some extra scratch to get his house done so that he and his family can go back home.
Here’s John’s house the day of the flood…
So here is John’s own words of what he’s selling and the discreptions…
Right now, I’m offerring up a unique kind of Peavey. It started out life as a standard 1×10 Classic 20. I took the chassis and mounted it in a custom built 2×12 tweed-covered pine shell by Mojo. Then I loaded up two Celestion MG12-35’s that I got from Dave at Avatar. This amp weighs in at a spine-saving 29 lbs., and the condition is mint. This amp can get loud enough to make 99% of the drummers out there wince. How does it sound? Here’s the latest clips of this amp. If you go to the top of the Soundclips section for WB Pickups, you’ll also hear this amp.
In the above picture, the Clark is on the left and the Peavey is on the right, behind the LP. This amp has not seen a stage. It’s only done studio time. The dimensions of the combo shell are identical to Mojo’s Low Power Tweed Twin shell, (H) 20′’ x (W) 24 1/2′’ x (D) 10 1/2′’. I’d like to get out of it what I have in it, $614. Shipping will be on top of that, which won’t be much because it’s a light amp.
here’s what I’ll be asking for the rest of the stuff…
(1) 1×15 tweed deluxe, Clark Beaufort chassis, Mojo pine shell, Jensen 15″, mint; $650
(2) Koch Twintone combo, upgraded w/Vintage 30, w/ftsw, exc. cond.; $750
(3) Hafler/Bogner Triple Giant w/ftsw; exc. cond.; $450
(4) Peavey Classic 120 mono tube power amp, electronically exc., cosmetically challenged, loud as f*ck; $180
(5) Soldano G.T.O., litterally just got back from Soldano yesterday, new pots/tube sockets/ftsw, exc. cond.; $300
(6) Peavey Classic 20, 1×10 combo, all stock, exc. cond; $250
No pictures yet. Drop me an e-mail me at jumbofretcom
Well if you see something here you may be interested in… Get a hold of John!
Now, I am going to add something to the list…
I have a set of WB Aged White Proto Pickups (No Covers ) that are the same as the ones in these vids that John did. I was going to keep them for myself but I’d rather give them up for John. These are wound with the PG Mod in the middle position.

The WB family!

Hey guys…. Just an update on WB orders.
We got slammed hard the last month and a half and I am not going to BS any of you. We do have a lead time right now of 8 weeks if you order.
This is lead time right now is mandatory. Although the lead time is temp. and I will be posting when it’s lifted but please understand that before you order..
You CAN email me here about order status: info@wbpickups.com This email is working correctly so address it there. Thank you.
Orders should be all caught up by the the end of the month or sooner but bank on the end of the month. I am not just going to slap pickups together and call it a day. I only insist on making sure the are the best that I make every time.
Like I have stated before, we have had growing pains and I sincerely thank you all for them.
We will be making an announcement on Monday February 25, 2008 so stay tuned.
For more detailed information… Keep checking the NEWS section here on the web site… WB Custom Pickups: guitar pickups wound by hand

A recent customer of ours sent us some pictures of his guitars loaded with some WB Habaneros and Firewaters. Thanks Eddie! We are so happy you are satisfied with your new pickups.
Excerpt of Eddie’s Email;
Here are some pictures of my R7 with the Firewaters and my 1991 Classic with the H&G Habs. So far, I am floored by these! The neck on the Firewater set really cleared up the muddiness I was getting from the BB 1&2 set. The Habs are insane! I had to stop playing because our 2 year old is napping, but they scream! Such a huge difference from what I was using. Plus, they look mean as hell!!!
This is what it’s all about! Tone.
Please come back to here on Febuary 25, 2008 for an anouncement for all our WB friends, customers, previous customers & future customers. We truly thank you all and truly appreciate all your support while we have been growing… We may not be perfect but we will make your pickups rock your world!!
