The FiftyNiner Winder Show

I’m a guitar-obsessed pickup winder navigating life through my passion for tone. As a lifelong guitar nerd and tone chaser, I build and repair pickups because I simply can’t stop creating.

This channel is all about the love of guitar and great tone—featuring insights, tips, pickup winding, guitar repairs, and more. My goal is to keep things fun, informative, and real, like a laid-back hangout over a beer or coffee. Sometimes we get deep, because that’s part of being human, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

So grab a drink, come hang out on YouTube or check out my posts below. If you dig what we’re doing, let us know! If not, no worries—keep rocking on your guitar journey.
