I’m proud to be the local exclusive dealer for Budz guitar pickups.

Budz pickups are hand wound by Dave Budzinski.

All of Dave's Strat bridge pickup features a baseplate for added bass response. Each pickup set is calibrated and custom winds are available.

Dave's "Purebred" pickups are used exclusively by Sean Michael of Lovepedal fame on his "Old World" guitars.

The "Purebred" is Budz flagship pickup, and perhaps the most classic and natural pickup you'll ever have in your guitar. The tones have been described as organic, brilliant, punchy, smokey and woody. The Strat set is a matched 3-pickup set with the bridge pickup wound slightly hotter than the neck and middle. A baseplate is stock for added bass response. The middle pickups is reverse wound for the classic Strat "quack".

The Tele set is a matched 2-set with bell-like tones from the neck pickup and a snarly and spanky bridge tone. Like the Strat set, these pickups clean up beautifully and kick out an aggressive edge when full on.

Dave also offers a custom Strat pickup set using a combination of Alnico II and III magnets in the same pickup. These "custom set" is available exclusively from yours truly. You have to hear this pickup to behold the amazing articulation, clarity, woodiness and punch. They are my all-time favorite Strat pickups.

If you're looking for the classic Strat and Tele tones. Look no further.
