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.

Amazing pickup! Ordered with a custom gold cover and it came out gloriously!
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 !
Both 6T8 have a fast, dynamic response at any volume. Both overdrive and distortion work equally well. Warm and harmonious sound. Great.
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!
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!
