My Sheptone Tele Set

My Sheptone Tele Set

It is definitely Spring. I can tell because you all are ordering up pickups to get you through the upcoming tours.  I appreciate you letting me and the pickups be a part of your tone. I obviously think this set is the best set in the industry (I’m bias).  But if I didn’t think it was, I wouldn’t make it. In fact, I offer 100% satisfaction and a lifetime warranty on all manufacturers defects. If you got a plank of wood in need of a tone upgrade ,click on over and give these a try.

What pickups did Duane Allman use?

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.
