Bluesy minds, head bangers, guitar “geeks"...


Welcome on ToD Custom Pickups ® home page!


Have you ever felt that something restrains the voice of you beloved guitar? 
If your guitar deserves more than its stock pickups or if you are trying to define your own sound in the music industry, we must become friends in the coming minutes.

I have been into Rock, Blues and Metal for the last 15 years. From the beginning, I was looking for the perfect tone for my guitars, continuously spending my money to obtain "off-the-shelves" gears hoping that they  will correspond exactly to my expectations. But one day, it ends… And your crusade for the “holy sound” stops here as mine did when I started handcrafting my ToD custom pickups.

As Billy F. Gibbons from ZZ top uses to say, playing the guitar is putting “meat, on metal, on Wood”. And, one day, this flavorful “spicy/woody/meaty/steely mix” will necessarily have to go through your guitar pickups. So do not underrate them! 

Pickups are the voice of your electric guitar and they deserve all the attention you may give. The choice you are going to do or the specs your are going to ask for can dramatically improve your sound!

ToD is my passion for which I am continuously looking after the best tonal quality. I hand-build all the ToD pickups using the finest US imported components, my personal experience, prototypes and researchs.

So let stop here this introduction. Just let me know what you are looking for, and I will do my best to build you the most special and perfect sounding pickups…
