With over thirty years of experience, starting at the age of 16 with hand-made wooden bobbins and a modified drill press led him to develop more complex and precise pickups winding equipment. Through the years of experimentation and design changes led to deep understanding of pickup design and manufacturing. Jesse’s relentless pursuit of excellence has resulted in pickups of unparalleled quality. Now utilizing custom-made winding machines, Jesse’s dedication and meticulous attention to detail have resulted in a set of single coil Strat pickups that rival the best true vintage sets.
