Custom-Wound BTone Pickups

James Buddy Rogers

Not every player wants what’s on the shelf—and that’s exactly why I started winding my own over 30 years ago.

In the early ’90s, I tried every pickup I could find. None gave me the tone I was chasing, so I built my own. That decision shaped my sound, my career, and eventually became BTone.

If you’ve been chasing a tone that doesn’t quite exist yet, I can help you build it. Every custom set is hand-wound, voiced, and tuned specifically for you.
