This is the set I custom wind for Master Guitarist Brian Kahanek. Brian wanted a little "more push" for the amp from the treble pickup. Same great tone as the Tribute, but with a bit more gain to drive the amp just a little harder. Paired with a standard Tribute neck, the bridge pickup is approximately a 4% overwind of the Tribute. The sound clips for this set are tracks from Brian's album "One True Thing." They are full songs, but well worth the time to listen!
Title says it all. These are some badass pickups. Extremely versatile and articulate, clear sounding pickups. I love them! Got a pair in my 76’ RI Explorer and this pair is for my recently acquired 79’ E2! Buy some.
Happy to hear this set was what was needed for that E2.

Odd Appearance Or Supposed To Look That Way?
The tone quality is excellent. They sound terrific. The build quality is sketchy, however. My set were missing a spacer under one bobbin. The faces all looked like they came from the bottom of the bin. The poles were kind of used looking. Wait... maybe this is the way they are supposed to look! In that case, perfection. As I said, the tone is superb. One of my friends who plays in a band had only word for them: "Killer!"
Thank you so much or the kind words. I'm still a bit baffled as to how the pickup could have made it out of here without a spacer but I am happy to hear you were able to remedy it on your own, nonetheless. Thank you for letting Sheptone be a part of your builds.

These Pickups are Special
I absolutely LOVE my BKs. Shep suggested these to me years ago for my 2003 Gibson Explorer 76RI and he was bang on. They just sound "right" to me, ya know?
Thank you very much for letting Sheptone be a part of your tone

Solid, long lasting, bright tone that mellows with time. The tension is pretty solid if you like to dig in. I use them with my fingers, with a pick, my thumb, very versatile in their sound. I recommend these strings. This packaging design would make a cool t-shirt
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.
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!
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!
