🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 5 star review from Charlie Bellmore: This pickup is quickly becoming my go-to

This pickup is for a sure a future ‘secret sauce’ for many people's rigs. It really does things right! Harmonics in a second, the perfect amount of push on an amp yet while retaining complete clarity for clean playing to the most percussive metal rhythms my caveman wrist can throw at it. There's a certain sizzle near the mid highs that spikes your amp distortion in a way that I've not heard before. From the most basic of rock to the fastest, crustiest thrash, this pickup is quickly becoming my go-to.

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 5 star review from Andre Arsenault: Most creamy humbuckers ever!

I had the opportunity to work with Bryan Adams band and hear Sheptone pickups in Keith Scott's guitars. Keith and other friends of mine use these pickups and I waited way too long to purchase them for my Custom Shop 58 Gibson Les Paul! This is it! Best pickups ever (tried lots!). With the Tribute set,(vintage sound) you can't go wrong! Love them!

THEY ARE BACK!

Handcrafted Vintage Tone with a Modern Edge

The AB Custom Humbuckers are a reimagining of the very first Sheptone pickup set that launched the brand back in 2007. Built entirely by hand—one at a time—using proprietary butyrate bobbins, 42 AWG plain enamel wire, rough cast Alnico 5 magnets, and nickel silver baseplates, these pickups deliver the kind of tone that inspires from the first note.

Designed to be a medium-output, PAF-style humbucker with just the right amount of extra push, the AB Customs offer exceptional clarity, warmth, and punch with the responsiveness and articulation players have come to expect from Sheptone. Whether you're chasing classic rock tones, bluesy breakup, or studio-grade cleans, these pickups are voiced to perform.

Each set measures approximately 8.5k (bridge) and 8.0k (neck) for perfectly balanced output across positions. Choose from double black, zebra, reverse zebra, or period-correct nickel steel covers in nickel or gold-plated finishes.

Favored by pros, collectors, and tone purists alike, the AB Custom Humbuckers are built for players who demand the very best—from the stage to the studio and everywhere in between. With a lifetime craftsmanship warranty against manufacture's defects and satisfaction guaranteed, you can’t go wrong.

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 5 star review from Michael: Solid Nickel Wound strings

I strung my bass up in the evening with these strings tuned it up, and let the bass sit over night. The following morning I checked the tuning again and began playing. The strings proceeded to stay in tune and have a big full sound. Lots of clarity and fullness and so far, I have no complaints. Great price too. I bought a four string set with similar results. Looking forward to the future Sheptone tshirts. Thanks Guys!

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.
