Pursuit of better tone and quality
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 spearheading a new guitar parts division for a major supply company, where he not only created custom pickups but also collaborated with high-profile musicians, crafting signature pickups tailored to their unique sound. His innovative designs, particularly vintage-inspired hum-canceling pickups and highly regarded acoustic soundhole pickups, have garnered praise for their natural sound and impressive performance.
Recognizing the need to share his extensive knowledge and experience, David launched Brickhouse Toneworks, offering a line of new pickups and guitars that reflects his commitment to quality and innovation. With a rich background in both guitars and high-level collaborations, David Shepherd continues to influence and inspire the music community through his groundbreaking creations.
