Sentell Pickups has been handcrafting and rewinding guitar pickups in Sacramento since 1997, bringing over two decades of specialized expertise to electric, steel, and bass guitar instrument repair. What started as a focused pickup service has grown to include comprehensive custom boutique guitar builds, all completed in their USA workshop.

The shop’s core strength lies in pickup repair and restoration work. Their luthier team handles rewinding, rebuilding, and magnet charging for pickups that have lost their tone or stopped working entirely. They also offer wax potting services to eliminate microphonic feedback issues. Most repair work is completed within a two-week turnaround, with custom projects typically done in one to three weeks.

Beyond repair services, Sentell Pickups creates custom-wound pickups tailored to specific tonal requirements, plus replacement pickups for vintage and modern guitars. Their custom boutique guitar builds incorporate their proprietary pickup designs, giving players complete instruments voiced exactly to their specifications.

The guitar tech team emphasizes quality craftsmanship at accessible prices, with free domestic shipping on all orders. Their quarter-century of pickup specialization makes them a trusted resource for players seeking precision fretwork on custom builds and expert electronics repair.
