Tone Shouldn’t Be the Only Thing Custom About Your Guitar

We started as guitar builders with a persistent problem: we couldn't find pickups that matched the quality of our custom instruments. So we began winding our own.

Great guitars deserve more than standard black pickups. That's why we offer customization options you won't find elsewhere, like exotic wood covers and different color screws, pins, and other hardware. Every visual detail can be tailored to complement your instrument's unique aesthetic.

Your guitar is a work of art. Now your pickups can be too.

Featured Pickup:

MAmmoth

Designed for the heaviest of metal, the Mammoth lives up to its name. Sporting 32k Ohms. this passive powerhouse serves as the perfect replacement for active pickup users, delivering the clarity and punch of actives with the organic feel of passive pickups. Under high gain, it produces crushing heaviness while maintaining exceptional bottom-end clarity that ceramic and Alnico 8 pickups typically sacrifice.
