A guitar player's quest for the perfect guitar tone is one of many paths or directions. Players and builders will try endless combinations of "tone woods", neck and fretboard materials, body shapes, sizes, construction. We obsess over which pickups to use; where to place them; piezo or magnetic pickup; one, two, three, more?
Forums, chat rooms, and discussion threads overflow with anecdotal opinions based on personal experience, or, in many cases, what is heard through the grapevine. The big corporate guitar companies rely on high priced marketing, sponsorship of professional musicians, and reputation. These giants of the industry shape our individual and perhaps, our collective ideal of what a guitar should look and sound like.
One refreshing ingredient in the forever-evolving offerings seen here in the Nation are instruments and parts that use materials and ideas that stray far from what mainstream guitars have become.
I am inspired.
So, enough of that.
This post is really meant to announce a new offering from Farmer Ted's Guitars. Through extensive research, laboratory tests, and many late nights of wrestling with the idea, I am ready.
Crap Tone Pickups...yes, that's right. Crap Tone.
I've dug down deep into my farm's hottest pile of decomposing matter to create a steaming heaping pile of tone the world has ever heard.
Why not try a pile in your next build? I guarantee...it will sound like crap!
Farmer Ted's Crap Tone Pickups are available in three or four string configurations, in either a single giant steaming heap, or for a humbucking experience, try the Double Deuce.
Get 'em while they're fresh!
