David Shepherd has indeed made a significant mark in the guitar pickup industry over the past two decades. His journey began with a deep-rooted passion for music and guitar, sparked in his youth during the 80s and 90s. After honing his skills at the Roberto-Venn School of Luthiery in 1996, he quickly immersed himself in the guitar repair and pickup winding fields.
By 2005, David was designing pickups and spearheading manufacturing for a major pickup company, where he not only created industry leading pickup designs, but also collaborated with high-profile musicians, such as Johnny Winter, Alex Lifeson, and many more, crafting signature pickups tailored to their unique sound. His innovative designs have garnered worldwide praise for their sound and impressive performance.
Recognizing the need to share his extensive knowledge and experience, David launched Brickhouse Toneworks, offering a line of premium boutique pickups that reflect his commitment to high quality and innovation. With a rich background in both pickups and high-level collaborations, David Shepherd continues to influence and inspire the music community through his groundbreaking creations.
