Sweeten Up Your Tone!
Pickups are the voice of your guitar. Most guitars, even cheaper imports, have better natural tone than you are hearing through your amp. Choosing the right pickups & wiring scheme can elevate your tone dramatically.

Electrify your acoustic guitar! Bring your own pickup, or allow me to help you source the right solution. Options for every budget.

Upgraded pickups can make a decent guitar into a showstopper! Consider a full rewire to get the most out of your investment.

WIRING
Electricity is science, but guitar wiring is an art. Done well (with good parts), and your pickups can deliver their full potential.

Wiring up a semi-hollow or hollow body guitar is SUPER tricky. Don't break a sweat, let me handle that mess for you!

Want more options out of your axe? I can split the humbucker into a single coil with a switch or a pull up knob.

It's not just for Buckethead and Tom Morello. These things are super fun, and easy to install. I like the arcade button style.
Better Components = Better Tone!
Inside your guitar lives a network of components that shape your tone as much as the pickups themselves. Upgrading these often-overlooked parts can deliver improved clarity, depth and output.
Potentiometers (or "Pots") are the hardware below your knobs. Good pots (like AxLabs, CTS or Bournes) improve your tone and last longer.
Capacitors filter out high-end frequencies when you turn down your Tone knob. I like to use Orange Drop caps, made for guitars and basses!
Output Jacks are not all the same! I like to install these PureTone jacks that have four points of contact to improve output and tone.
Switches take a lot of use and abuse, so using high quality switches is important! They can also used as coil-splitters for humbucking pickups.
