Why Choose Us
We started SoulShine Pickups with the user’s perspective in mind. By sharing our knowledge we want to empower guitarists in the search for their ultimate guitar sound. This goes beyond pickups only. We’re not smiling until you are!
Winding Machines
At our workshop we have several winding machines. The most beloved one is a beautiful winding machine from the ‘60s! For each pickup we choose the winding machine which suits the product the best.
Materials
For our pickups we only use the highest quality materials available. The vintage wire types “Plain Enamel” and “Formvar” are used to wind the coil, and “Nickel-Silver” is used as material for metal pickup covers. The lead wires are period-correct and Alnico 5 as well as Alnico 2 magnets are available.
Potting
To stop microphonic feedback and to protect the coil, we pot our pickups in a special mixture of wax. We believe that a good penetration of the wax can only be realized when the pickup is fully warmed. This takes time. So instead of using modern, time saving vacuum chambers, we sit back, have a drink and wait a couple of hours.
Quality
For us, quality is key. We measure several parameters of each pickup before it leaves our workshop. In this way we guarantee that all pickups that leave our workshop meet our high quality standards.
