I was so Thrilled to get, JOHN FOGERTY 100% happy / using my pickups on some of his stage guitars ( just a few Teles)
but.... I waited him out , before I aired a word of this!.. (a few months have passed)
I wanted to be 100% sure he was really digging them - and planing on using them onstage!..
but before I did that I asked his permission to air that he likes them and that its ok, to mention that he is going to continue to be a future customer and "onstage" Don Mare Pickup user...

John is Using a ( Custom spec 3-speed Sting Ray that I designed for his style & tunes) its in a "Hot Rod Esquire" and then theres also a Hot-bakelite Set in 2 pickup Tele..

Another special pickup will be made soon for a Custom Tele that's still in the works... and its to be used as a Stage Guitar.. once that pickup design is designed, and road tested, I'll announce that pickup here too..:wink:

John first made a Pay Pal order here, then called a few weeks later, I was so thrilled!
He's always been one of my top 5 Rock Players of all time!..

Fogerty is an amazing player now, even better than in the Creedence days. And he's always been very particular about his sound. So his endorsement is very, very good. Congratulations.

+1 I love how he picks notes out of chord shapes to get his sound.

Don,

I just placed my order for a Stingray pickup with John Fogerty's specs. It will go in a pinecaster esquire that I am assembling.

I have another set from you that I just love.

Keep up the great work!
