He's learned from Bill Lawrence, resuscitated the vintage-spec PAF for Gibson, and currently has developed dozens of new and updated pickups for Fender, including the popular Shawbucker and revived the heralded CuNiFe Wide Range humbuckers.

It also packs a formidable bite quotient and can produce a loud, forceful roar or a softer, if no less menacing, close-range purr.
