Bill holds the patent on the SCN pickups used in Fender guitars. He doesn't make them but he developed them and licensed the patent to Fender from what I have been told.

He is negotiating with one of the big 2 right now for a new design.

To me his new twin blades are something that will be a real eye opener. The sparkle they produce is absolutely stunning.

His shop is bigger than it was from what I have been told. There are 5 people working there.

Bill, Becky, Rodger, Nadine and her husband.

Talk about TLC these pickups are practically kissed and tucked in every night. Bill is a workaholic and he is always calculating a new design. Sometimes he designs it in his head and goes in the next day and builds it. I gotta tell you for his age the man has some energy.
