a guitar player and has the most incredible ear
for tone, was like, “What is that? That sounds
unreal!” I told Casey, “These are unbelievable.
Let me sit on them for six months, just to make
sure.” I was so scared about just using the first
version, but honestly, that was it. I toured with
those pickups and played them everywhere for
about six months, and then called Casey and
said, “I love these things! For what I do, they
sound awesome!”
So, Casey started offering them in his guitars.
You can also buy them as a set from Pioneer
Pickups, which is the company he started.
They sound great in all of my guitars. I try to
warn people that they’re not going to make
everyone else sound like Bethel Music, and I
can’t promise you’re going to like them better
than another brand of pickup. Everything is so
opinion based nowadays. But I love the way
they sound, and they work for me. I’ve
connected with a few guys who are using them
now and have expressed their love for them as
well. It’s been really cool.
