Pickup Rewind

The bridge pickup on my Flea Jazz has gone, first time 47 years of playing I've had a pickup fail. Ideally I'd replace with another American Vintage 64 but they don't seem to be available now so plan on getting it rewound. Other than Kent Armstrong, any recommendations as to who to speak to?

I agree with @PaulThePlug The usual place for  coil to go open circuit is on one of the leadout wires to the bobbin. If the wire is broken on one of the windings on the outside of the coil or, more commonly, on the leadout of the outside wire to the bobbin, it's fixable. So, it's worth checking where the break is. It will need a rewind, however, if the break is on the leadout wire from the inside of the coil.

Thanks. My local guitar shop have had it on their bench and concluded it needs a rewind.
