So my Sheptone journey began when bought a boutique Black volt earthcaster guitar from a local shop in Pittsburgh Pa. It came with a set of the red headed step child pick ups and at that point I didn’t even know who Sheptone was until I got home and plugged this guitar in and realized it was something special, a sound I’ve been searching for my whole musical career. This set of pickups blew me away and sent me down the Sheptone rabbit hole. Since that first set I’ve purchased four other rhsc sets, one set of tributes, one set of blue sky’s and a single bridge ab custom for my other guitars. I guess what I’m saying all pickups are not created equal, Josh is a damn wizard. So if your thinking about trying out Sheptone don’t hesitate you won’t be disappointed!
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!
Shirt looks awesome and fits perfect!
