Stealth Pickups
We are the only place to get these custom made 16 polepiece Neodymium "stealth" pickups. Meant to be hidden underneath pickguard for the Dreamweaver 1, but can be used on any model.
Electronics

Ease of Serviceability
We take efforts to make sure our work is easily serviceable for its lifetime. All routes are continuous, meaning all electronic components can be removed without desoldering the whole harness. We try to keep wiring neat, tidy and color coded for ease of understanding, & can provide diagrams at any time if needed.

Vintage Correct Wiring
We are wiring nerds and greatly enjoy replicating the finer details of vintage guitars, even down to tracking down NOS 1960's knobs and switches if needed

High Quality Components
We use mostly CTS pots for everything. We also use Bourns for those who want a lower-torque feel when turning. Occasionally we use full-size import pots for TX Classic or budget minded projects, but this only saves around $50 at most

Styles Galore
Customize not only your sound--but aesthetics with electronics that perfectly match the vibe of your build

Cavity/Pickguard Shielding
We fully shield the cavities of your guitar and the back of the pickguard to create a "faraday cage" and minimize unwanted noise and RF interference. This is done for no extra charge

Special Pickup Fitment
We will go to any lengths necessary to fit the pickups you want onto your build. Whether that means making a new routing template for a new shape/style of pickup or making other special accomodations to fit unorthodox parts.
