I’m so overdue on this…Congratulations to one of my favorite artists, Brandon Seabrook. The good people over at Premier Guitar magazine did a write up on his awesomeness. It is long overdue and well deserved. His primary guitar is loaded with Sheptone and I love being a part of everything he does. If you are not familiar, do yourself a favor and check him out. But I must warn you – your mind will be blown. It just might take a few play-throughs to really grasp what is all going on. Regardless, it is brilliant. Thank you, Brandon, for making sure Sheptone was included in the write up.

Who was the first aftermarket manufacturer of pickups?
While there were a handful of repairmen able to repair or build a replacement pickup in the 50’s and 60’s, it was Larry Dimarzio who is recognized as being the first aftermarket brand when he introduced his Super Distortion® humbucker in 1971.

What humbuckers does Jimmy Page use in his #1 Les Paul?
After the original bridge humbucker died, Jimmy dropped in an original Gibson T-top humbucker and kept the original patent applied for humbucker in the neck position.

What pickups did Duane Allman use?
The Cherry Burst Gibson Les Paul that Duane used on “At Fillmore East” had a set of Gibson humbuckers that both measured in the low 7’s. This set was originally in a Gold Top he used when he tracked the slide guitar parts on “Layla” by Eric Clapton. I make an “off the menu” set call LoLo’s that match these. Message me if you want me to build them for you. The dark burst Gibson Les paul he purchased in 1971 had a 8.3 in the neck and an 8.7 in the bridge. Again, I have an “off the menu” set I can build for you. Just message me.

Why do Sheptone humbuckers sound better than other brands?
Thank you. I appreciate that. But I do tend to agree with you. And it comes down to the tension on the wire when us builders wind the coil. You take any of us builders, and if we were to use the same exact components and build a humbucker, they will still sound different and that difference is from the tension. The tension is where the magic is hidden.
