I have recently purchased a couple of FCS Strats that have hand-wound pickups in them that were wound by "CG", initialed on the bottoms along with the dates. One of the sets is Ancho Poblano's which in the Traveler states that they were supposed to be Josefina Campos, who's a Master Winder.

Who is "CG" and is this person a Master Winder, who winds in lieu of JC?

Noted that FCS has many talented pickup winders and CG's pups sound good.. but it is important to be able to put a name with the initials.. and hopefully a little background.

Thanks
Tim

So I eventually figured ou twho CG is... Celina Garcia has been at custom shop for about 15 years now as a winder.

Does anybody know who "GM" is? They handwound pickups in my 2016 67' Strat...

Josefina replaced Abigail Ybarra a couple of years ago.

Abby wound pickups for Fender since the 1950s.

Unusual I am not saying they are not but are you sure they are fender pickups.
Handwounds are either requested as part of a custom shop build or may be retrofitted.
Some others make pickups for strats and mark them sp.
Contacting fender should give you a build sheet which will tell you if they originally came with handwounds. :D
