I get a lot of requests from people wanting sound clips of my pickups. For many years I chose to not do them for two main reasons. First off I do not believe they accurately represent how a given pickup will sound in your guitar, through your rig, and your playing style. Secondly, and most importantly, I believe there is a serious conflict of interest in me producing sound clips that would be used to sell my pickups. I think it would be too tempting to engineer them to sound their absolute best and not giving you a real world representation of my pickups. What I like to call a Match.com version of the pickups. I have stuck to this for many years, but over time I have slightly changed my opinion.
The problem is I make so many unique pickup designs that no one else makes it makes even more intriguing and people are simply curious on what they sound like in general. For the past few years I have been telling people to do a YouTube search. There you will find videos that other people have made that I have no part of. While it still will not tell you how they will sound in your personal situation, you can at least trust that it is a real world demo of the pickups that I have no say in its production, and you can see the demo as well as hear it so there is a little more truth in what you are hearing. I finally have decided to create a page devoted to demos of my pickups that I can more easily direct people to.
So I hope this helps and feel free to submit your own video demos of my pickups.
thanks,
curtis

Yes, Curtis. Please do. My demo of your pickup is about uncolored as you can get - st. into the board with just a little reverb and echo. Thanks, Chris Edwards
