In celebration of all guitarists known to crank—or wank—their way to sonic bliss, players are finally free to enjoy themselves, wanking their way to self-expression without blowing up their tone or alienating their bandmates with our new Wanker humbucker. Built specifically for strat-style shred sleds, the Wanker was developed for players who like to push boundaries with higher output. Popularized in the 1980s, these pickups were overly wound just to provide higher output, but that approach came at a high cost in tone. Meanwhile, we are a manufacturer that has earned its reputation for pickups that capture the best qualities of...

outstanding !

what a great sounding pickup ! over the years i bought a lot of sheptone
pickups , installed them in guitars from cheap chinese up to gibsons , theyall improved massive , super responsive , most of the big brands products sound a bit dull and lifeless compared to sheptones , crazy overtones , pinch harmonics are screaming at you !

Really vintage tone 335

Both 6T8 have a fast, dynamic response at any volume. Both overdrive and distortion work equally well. Warm and harmonious sound. Great.

Sweet sound tele pups!

I replaced fender 64pure vintage pups with sheptone A2tele.
This pickup set sounds sweet so if you like jazz, blues, solo guitar and so on, you can enjoy the tone. If you like punchy tele sound, I recommend you go to sheptone A5 tele set. I think this goes better with swapash body and maple fingerboad!

Great Sounds

I purchased a set for my Warmoth build, and they sound just great! Clean or overdriven, they have a certain clarity to them that I like. And they never sound harsh to my ears. I have them wired like a 50's LP, and with a phase switch wired on a push pull pot. I can get all kinds of sounds out of these. Thank you!

An amazing and unique set of PAFs, and a standout builder.

The Sheptone Blue Sky set is an exceptional pair of PAFs. The neck is somehow both airy and woody, and also smooth and creamy. It never gets muddy but delivers very smooth and round tones.

The bridge, in my opinion, is a very special pickup that really stood out to me. I have never experienced such a vocal sounding and expressive bridge pickup in my life, it just does everything I want it to do and more. It's like a 52 tele on steroids without an ounce of harshness in the treble. Roll back the volume and it doesn't lose any heft, and gets you even closer to a single-coil like sound. It's insanely inspiring.

On top of that, Josh is super helpful and available to answer any questions you may have. Truly top notch customer service.
