Custom Guitar Pickup Design

Custom Pickup Design — Built Around Your Tone

No two players hear or feel tone the same way. That’s why our pickups aren’t based on generic models or preset specs.

Our custom pickup process starts with how you play and what you want to hear, then translates that into the physical design of the pickup — winding structure, output, dynamics, and magnet selection. We focus on feel and response as much as frequency balance, shaping clarity, warmth, punch, and compression intentionally rather than by guesswork.

Instead of relying on simple metrics like DC resistance, we design pickups to:

  • respond to your touch

  • sit correctly in a mix

  • stay clear without harsh highs

  • deliver the right balance of tightness, bloom, and sustain

The form below helps us understand your guitar, your playing style, and the tones you’re aiming for — as well as what you want to avoid. The more detail you provide, the more precisely we can dial in your pickup.

Once submitted, we review your responses and follow up to confirm the design direction before building.

This is pickup design with intent — built specifically for you.
