all the tone
We know tone, and we go to great lengths to create wood/pickup/hardware configurations that work well together and produce outstanding tone and flexibility. We like to utilize alternate wiring configurations that add tonal options that you won't find on the wall at your local big box music store. However, this only works with the right building blocks, and our pickups are typically wound specifically for the guitar they are going to live in. Check back as we add to the video library with different guitars and pickup configurations!

This video is the bridge humbucker full output through a tube screamer clone in to a Carr Sportsman.
clean tone - split humbucker and single coil
