ARCANE INC.
ar-cane (ar kan`), adj. Understood by those with special knowledge.





I wound my first pickup in 1990 while attending the Roberto-Venn School of Luthiery and since then I have worked for numerous companies in the guitar industry�from large guitar manufacturers to small custom builders like Valley Arts and Tobias�handling everything from running custom shops and artist relations programs to entire guitar divisions.

I started Arcane, Inc. with the goal of producing the highest quality, most uncompromised, hand-made pickups in the industry. Since then I have worked with many respected names in the industry. As a consultant, I helped Tyler Guitars founder and namesake Jim Tyler (www.tylerguitars.com ) develop the Tyler pickup line, and built the first 500 Tyler pickups myself in the Arcane shop. I also worked on a project with highly respected pickup builder Tom Holmes that eventually became his Japanese line (Prior to the formation of Arcane Inc.).

Today I consult guitar companies on pickup design and construction, build pickups on an OEM basis for James Trussart Guitars (www.jamestrussart.com ) and also sell to artist musicians and distributors all over the world in search of better tone and the finest in custom pickups.
This work is not just a business�it�s a passion. I have a deep understanding of what makes a tonally superior pickup. The products that come out of my shop reflect unparalleled craftsmanship and are the culmination of all the knowledge I have gained from my years of working in the guitar industry.

I invite you to experience the best quality pickups you will ever play.
