New Pickup On The Market

Post by Jim Smith »

This just in from Jerry Fessenden: "Jim Pitman will be selling a new design pickup, similar to the Danny Shields Crap-Trap. It looks similar, but has some real high tech ideas. He will have a booth in St Louis."

That's all I know, so please contact Jerry at fessteel@together.net for more information. I will post more as I learn more about it. If Jerry says they sound great, they do sound great! Image

I plan to get a set for my new D-12 Fessy that Jerry is building. Image

Thanks for the word of support Jim M. and Jerry F.

Ayeh, I've just recently ramped up to produce the "Tonealigner" Pickup. In 10 string, 12 string, and custom. I've been a great fan of the "Crap trap" and used this concept as the basis, but with refinements.

I've got a booth near the Fulawka (sp?)room, behind the escalator entrance to the convention floor at the St Louis convention. Please drop by and check it out. I'll have one in my F12 (Fessenden 12, and quite a few to sell. Keep posted for my website to follow shortly.

Ok enough of the commercial. If anybody wants a single page, color brochure just E-mail me, jaspit@aol.com, with "Tonelaligner" in the subject. I'll reply with the brochure attached - word97 document or jpeg your choice.

Jim Pitman,
Jaspit Electronics
