Randall, I can’t begin to thank you enough. I’ve been at this for 30 years & your pickups are life changing. You’ll go down as one of the all-time greats. If there was a Mt. Rushmore for guitar gear gurus, you be up there with Leo Fender, Jim Marshall & Howard Dumble.

Just wanted to commend you on your excellent work. I bought a set of Deluxe 57/61 PAFs a while back and just in the last week or so I had them installed in a new guitar that I built. I must say that the videos on your website do not do justice to the quality of the sound of these pickups. I have to say I am astounded. By far the best-sounding that I’ve ever played in 30 years. In fact I’m super tired because the last three nights I haven’t been able to put the guitar down and I haven’t been getting any sleep because of it. It just sounds so frickin’ sweet. I don’t know how you do this, but bravo Guys! How’s it feel to be the best in the world at your craft? Seriously, you guys deserve some sort of innovation award. Amazing. -Alan
