You kindly made me some pickups based on my request of trying to achieve a type of sound for my Les Paul.

I wanted the sound or character of Gary Moore, Joe Bonamassa, Paul Kossoff.

I have actually got round to fitting them in a Telecaster to sound check them and get a feel for the sound of these pickups, ready for the install in the USA Les Paul guitar.

OMG! The sound of these is incredible! The voicing and tone is amazing and I can’t thank you enough.

I have previously installed Gibson 490 and 498 buckers, Seymour DuncanSH-1 & SH-4JB and they’re not as good, in my opinion, as your pickups.

I am a bit odd, looking for the ultimate tone and your “Bonamassa” pickups are there.

Just waiting until I need to re-string the Les Paul and they’re going in! – S.F.

Bespoke set of humbuckers made to the customer’s specification:

The pickups sound great. The bridge pickup is great driven. I run it through my Zakk Wylde gear and it’s outstanding.

I think it would realy suit the Zakk Les Paul. – MBespoke Johnston hand-wound humbuckers

Just letting you know I’ve got the pickups fitted and they’re brilliant. Much better than the Duncan JB/59 set they replaced – more alive, clear, open and 3-D sounding. Really happy with them, exactly what I was after. – D.McI

I’m just back from practicing with the rest of the band. The guitar has never sounded or played better. Thankyou for all the work you did to it, it’s better now than it ever was! – Gerry.

This guitar came in having not been played for years following a broken neck repair. It needed a new nut (hand-cut bone nut supplied & fitted), a couple of high frets lowered and re-crowned and then a set-up.
