-----------------------

1950-to-'64 is my thing,

I have back-engineered some of the

best of those old hand-wound pickups

and settled on one special

style of winding my coils

and that WAS NOT SCATTERIING

WIRE.BTW thats a

CROCK! (SCATTER WOUND- haha!)

LEO Fender® would have shit bricks if he had

ever seen any one worker/WINDER

on his time clock

SHAKING there wire guiding HAND wildly!!! -

they did not ever take RISK like that there!

- Leo was super FRUGAL!

the Workers (thanks to FOREST WHITE)

all got a small $

extra check for good *QUANITY and

*QUALITY

every FRIDAY onpayday- SO lokk folks-->

they did not

Break Copper wire by doing someting

as foolish as shaking

the coiil wire ( They did not have

BACKING PLATES on their winder)

It was just a empty pickup spinning fast!_

the flatworks'

sides were already

trying to snatch at the wire and snap it

as they would warble!

- SO lookie here--- they were already

struggling for

dear LIFE to keep the wire inside these

pickup bobbins

and not aloow wire to go jumping off /

over the edge and

snapping Leos Expensive FINE Coated

Copper COIL WIRE!

-------------------------------------------

the MYTH OF the last 42 years!

is that HAND induced movments or

SCATTERING equals

1950s to 1964's TONE

WHAT a disaster of a TALL TALE

ONE that will never go away! and it

is mistaken

for the SECRET to PRE CBS SOUND -

this has stiffled

the industry for 42 years!

when intentional Scattring

its actually something' that will deplete a

louder Thicker sound

and really not Inhance it at all -

- thats why late 60s and 70s Fenders are

LOUDER then

older Hand winds or those of today that

are handwound all lack a little volume and

Chunk

- the Machimne winds are more efficient

then the Hand guided

but SADLY they rarely sounded as good -

I use a 1951 PATTERN I found on a

1951 and 1962~

I use it on all my pickups... I try not to

scatter

anymore then Natural Bounce is causing! same as they

did BACK WHEN!

All my DON MARE pickups:
- Have great organics & Breath / Air
- A really amazing player's touch -

helps you to play!
- They are Pick-attack sensitive

and have very rich harmonics
- have perfect volume and note bloom

- NEVER Ice-Picky's or Treble heavy -

always Ear Candy and sweet on the top-end.

They really seem like they breathe

and feel alive.

They are replicas of what I feel

was the best vintage pickup tone to be found.

They can really inspire, making the

strings sound better and thicker.

Your amp's tubes suddenly

sound better. They'll never hit dead ends

or road blocks. And they do not limit

your playing in any way shape or form.
Instead they can really inspire you to

develop further than you could dream

was possible.

My true vintage purist customers will

verify this stuff on GOOGLE Search of

"Don Mare Pickups"

17 years of reviews can be found.

- No metallic harshness
- No ice pick at all
- No bright ear snap
- No meshing or loss of single notes

Thanks for looking at my site! Don Mare

-----------------------

Note from Don:

The best way to compare my pickups is at a

Vintage Guitar Show or a store that sells loads of vintage.

That's how we did our testing here for many years,

until we were 100% confident that I had unlocked

Fender's® best ever Vintage pickups.

Put any pickup I make up against an equal

vintage counterpart and let it speak for itself.

Take the other maker's with you and do the

same comparisons. Otherwise its all "he said she said"

- I like oranges, you like apples...etc.

But that was never my quest. I was out to nail vintage tone

or nothing. I never wanted to sell a thing. My quest was a

personal one for me and a few artists I was tech-in for.

vintage purist those guys are the toughest pickup

customers on earth!
Ive made almost every single one happy to date!

If you ever think you have a partsocaster with real

vintage tone, do yourself a favor and do what we did-

get out there and do a few A & B test comparisons with

real vintage guitars. Preferably with lots of them.

Now, if you can walk away happy, prior to my winding

these pickups we did these test and felt;
-- "Hey, it seems were always only 85% max in

reaching vintage tone on the 100% mark ,

because it's that 10% or 15% that will drive us all nuts.

we did the same test to my pickups untill we flat out nailed it!

When you have owners of vintage guitars telling you

they hear everything in yours that's in that vintage

(Some even saing they like yours a little more)

then its mission accomplished! At least it was

for the artist and myself here. And that's the day I

opened to the public- not one day earlier.

I was dead set on getting this tone or die trying.
