Custom Made Tele® Style Guitars

Tex-Tone Pickups

 

 

 David Allmon,a guy who I have had the pleasure of meeting online

is based in  Midlothian, TX.He has specializes in handmade guitar pickups.
 
His single coil pickups are made a bit different.Here is his description
 

"single coil pickups are a hybrid of Tele or Strat sized pickups married to the construction of a P-90. This wonderful union produces a less focused, warmer sound than a traditional  Tele or Strat pickup. But don't worry...you won't lose any of your articulation; in fact, with a hand made Tex-Tone in your guitar, you will be amazed at how your volume and tone controls will come alive.  You will no longer have to worry about your tone going muddy if you want to turn your guitar volume down a bit, and you will have 7/8ths of your tone sweep that will actually sound good!"

 

 

No pickup has the raw edge and power of the original P-90, and when that is the only sound that will do, put one of these bad boys in your guitar and never look back. Just like the rest of the handmade pickups here at Tex-Tone, when you want to back off the volume and play nice, these pickups are more than willing to oblige. 

Here are some links to his sound clips .Check them out!!

The song you are hearing is played by Dave himself

on the Lamicaster which he purchased from me and assembled

 

 

Sounds great!!

 

He also makes vintage spec Humbuckers that will give you about any HB sound you could ask for. With today's high gain amps and effects, it is unnecessary to wind a pickup ridiculously hot. A Tex-Tone handmade humbucker wound between 8k and 10k will give you sweet, clean sounds that sound every bit as good as it does running through the lead channel of your Dual Rectifier. It will also turn your guitar's volume and tone controls into tone shaping tools instead of just another on/off switch.
