I got my original 1964 black bottom Strat pickups back from Rumpelstiltskin.  I sent them to him for a check up to see if he could bring them back to life.  They were a little dull sounding to me.  Aaron checked them out and said the magnets were still strong but if I wanted, he could re-magnatize them and see if they would hold more charge.  I think it helped.  They sound a little stronger to me now.  He also told me that the neck pickup is shorted and that the G pole had been pushed down.  It only puts out 5.3 ohms.   Today I held my breath and pushed the G pole back into position.  It popped into place fairly easily.  Nothing bad happened as you can hear in the video.  Sometimes the old weak pickups match up better and give you a little more headroom when you kick in the fuzz.
