It’s been 5 years since we shipped our first set of pickups! This is one of our first Jazzmaster prototypes from back in those early early days. Can’t believe how much has happened, and that we’re still friends and laughing through all of it 🙀

We’ve been mad busy lately, but we have some cool stuff in the works for later this year - both in terms of pickups and also with … so please forgive our silence! We are still so grateful for every order you’ve been sending our way in recent months, and we’ll be sharing more again soon 💌

It’s the one year anniversary of our Jazzmaster pickups being featured in - something we were *sooo* excited about, and I (Emily) was just way too sick with covid to post about or properly celebrate when it happened. So, we’re doing it now! 🥳 ⁣

This was such a cool moment for us, given how much Patrick loves & collects Jazzmasters, and how much work went into dialing in our JM sets. So grateful to our friend for giving our vintage correct set some love in his excellent offset pickup write up 🖤⁣

We are super excited to be a part of this year’s High Desert Luthiery show in Albuquerque! When Perry from reached out with an invitation, it was an almost immediate ‘yes’ from us. We love everything he and Alison are doing: organizing a *free* event accessible to all, engaging a diverse lineup of small builders, and most of all cultivating community 🖤⁣
⁣
We’ll be there repping EP Custom, along with our custom acoustic biz, Aberdeen Guitars ()… plus Emily () will be playing some tunes demoing our stuff 🎶⁣

Happy New Year!! 🥳 Belated because we have both been wrecked by covid - and photo from last year because being sick is not a photogenic experience - but Paxlovid brought us back to life and we’re ready to leap into the new year now! ⁣

Really really grateful for all your support in 2023 and excited for new things coming in 2024 😎⁣
