Hey Shawn,
I meant to reply to your email about that, but I honestly forgot...
Things have been a little hectic here. (
good hectic, but still..)
Why not do it yourself? I did it myself with both the pairs of Franzes I have, with good results, and no bodily harm or housefires.
All you need is two thirds pure uncolored, unscented parafin wax (candlewax), one third pure beeswax, two pots, and a stove.
Suspend the (smaller) pot with the wax in it into a (larger) pot with water. A
cut-up coathanger bent around the smaller pot works great for making that work.
Bring the water temperature up until the wax has liqiufied completely, and suspend the pickup in the molten wax by a piece of string until no air bubbles come up any more, and you're done!
Wipe off excess wax, let it set, and install the pickups back into the guitar.
It's extra easy taking Franz pickups out of the guitar, as you don't need to unsolder them from the pots, they have solder tabs on the pickup baseplate.
Word of caution : don't be tempted to put your pot of wax straight on the stove, always use a double boiler : wax catches fire at a pretty low temperature. Also, you don't want the pickup bobbin touching metal that is in direct contact with your stove's flame.
With the double boiler, you're very safe, and the process is really very simple, easy, and fast.
