Meet The Maker
David Shepherd has over 20 years behind the scenes of some of the most legendary guitar tones.
My obsession took me places I never expected. I worked alongside Stevie Ray Vaughan’s tech, René Martinez, and Eric Clapton’s tech, Lee Dickson. I went on to design pickups for legendary players including Johnny Winter and Alex Lifeson.
I never chased the spotlight. I chased the signal.
And through all of it, I came away with one conviction: every player deserves a pickup built with that same obsession for tone and attention to detail—something mass production simply can’t replicate.
That’s why I built Brickhouse Toneworks.
