Welcome to Tex-Tone
Pickups! I'm glad you dropped by. Take
a look around and let me know what I can do to help you achieve your perfect guitar tone. I specialize in handmade
guitar pickups, but I am equally interested in all aspects of the signal chain. If you have questions or comments,
please do not hesitate to contact me. I would love to talk to you about practically anything that relates to guitar
tone!
I'm very excited about being able to bring Tex-Tone pickups to the web. For the
last few years, I have been making custom orders for players around the Dallas area and having a blast hearing the results.
From Teles to Les Pauls, semi-hollows and full hollows, every guitar has its sweet spot and so does the player. Give
me a shout and let me know what I can do for you.

So what's the Deal? Why Tex-Tone?
That's a very good question. There are a lot of great pickups out there,
so why go Tex-Tone? Everyone has an agenda and that's why we do what we do...my agenda with Tex-Tone is to make great
sounding pickups with a fat, ballsy tone that sound as good when you turn them down and clean them up as they do when they
are screaming through your lead channel. I want to offer these versatile, handmade pickups at a price that the
working player can afford. You no longer have to be a doctor, lawyer, or a endorsed player to be able to get great pickups
(note: doctors, lawyers, and endorsed players are welcomed at this site, too) .
Tex-Tone Humbuckers and P-90's
are basically vintage spec pickups, but when you make these pickups by hand, they have amazing three-dimensional
sound and incredible frequency response along with crazy-good dynamics. These pickups are so articulate that they turn
your often unusable volume and tone controls into real tone shaping tools.

Tex-Tone single coils are the product of my being continually disappointed in thin-sounding pickups that required
me to change my rig setup to keep icepick highs from driving me crazy. I had always loved P-90's but wanted something
in between that P-90- and Fender-type single coil sound. In researching this, I found that using a Fender-style bobbin
and constructing the pickup in a P-90 fashion was nothing new. Many great makers have been doing this for years. And
I can tell you that this combination works great. After making and remaking this kind of pickup, I have come up with
my own flavor of single coil, and that flavor is pure awesome.
