Title: Dialtone Pickups Intro
Post by: DialtonePickups on July 05, 2014, 08:12:41 AM
Hi everyone! We've been on this forum for a little while now but I don't think we've actually introduced ourselves.

Our company name is Dialtone Pickups, and we offer a new type of adjustable-tone humbucker pickup. We are family-run, based in California, and still in the early phases of business development. You can learn more on our website, www.dialtonepickups.com.

There are two of us who use the forum. John, Dialtone's founder, invented our pickup and also plays the guitar. The PRS you'll see in a lot of our demo videos is actually his baby. It was very customized before we reverted it back to stock and installed our pickups. Besides Dialtone, John works as a physicist at DARPA, a small U.S. defense agency.

I (Tory) don't play the guitar, but I love music, and I really take pride in providing a quality product and service. At Dialtone I'm mainly involved in the business side of things, including product development and getting feedback from players, etc. Besides Dialtone, I contract as a background investigator for a specific type of security clearance. I also have a two-year-old son, Jackson, who I like to talk a lot about. You've been warned!!

By the way, this is Jackson: http://youtu.be/53-6b3fofqE (http://youtu.be/53-6b3fofqE). I bribed him with his favorite treat, jelly beans, to get him to do that!

Nice website, enjoyed looking around.  Great videos, especially the "so easy even a baby can" and the street vid, but they were all good.

Looks like you have a great business crew there...
