Van Zandt Pickups was started by W.L. Van Zandt in the late 1980’s, but he had been repairing pickups around the Dallas/Ft.Worth area since the early 1960’s. Mr. Van Zandt worked for years as a machinist and played guitar in country bands since the 1950’s. He started rewinding the magnets on pickups for friends and other players, and pretty soon he had a small business going as his reputation grew by word of mouth.
