TOM ANDERSON GUITAR PICKUP
100% Hand Made in USA

We’ve been Making pickups Since 1984:
"The first year of the company, I ran the company from my garage. What fed our family that first year was that Schecter Japan needed American-made pickups; the American Schecter factory closed a few months after I left, and nobody knew how to make pickups. Schecter Japan contacted me and we sat down at Carl’s Jr. and made a deal. I set up a little pickup-making shop in the kitchen of our house. After I got through making necks and bodies in our garage during the day, we sat up making pickups every night. That first year we lived on those pickups, and we still make them to this day."
Tom Anderson
