"HEART and SOUL"
by Mark or Charlene Webber on 11/22/11
The guitar is an instrument through which we express our individuality. Guitars of the same make and style become different when they encounter human hands. Some parts of the guitar are labeled with human characteristics, headstock, neck and body. It's easy for us to form a relationship and become one with our guitar when we hold it, play it, hear it and feel it. The HEART of the guitar...the pickups. The SOUL of the guitar...Us. Our fingers create the magic by navigating the strings and causing them to vibrate over the pickups, which generates a signal that is sent out to the amplifier. We might conclude that the fingers of the human hand which skillfully wind the delicate copper wire around the pickup bobbin create the magic that cannot be duplicated by a machine. Pickups...the HEART of the guitar, when hand wound, allow Us, the SOUL of the guitar, to soar to greater heights.
The human element...think about it. Hand wound Webber Custom Pickups.
Bryan Austin Custom Tele
by Mark or Charlene Webber on 11/16/11Grammy Nominee songwriter and guitarist for Clint Black's band, Bryan Austin, traveled to Cote's Music in Summerdale, AL on Thursday, Nov. 10th, to be presented with his custom made tele guitar. David Cote built Bryan's guitar, complete with a Bigsby tremelo. It is outfitted with hand wound Webber Custom pickups. Awesome guitar, awesome pickups for an awesome guy! Friends, as well as the Mayor of Summerdale, David Wilson, who is also a musician, were on hand to meet Bryan and hear him play his one of a kind tele. We had a great time, Bryan, and look forward to seeing you again, soon! Enjoy your new axe!
"My Favorite"
by Mark or Charlene Webber on 11/01/11
I have four bass guitars and my favorite...the one my husband, Mark, saw at a pawn shop. He told me about it and so I went to check it out. I loved it, I bought it. It is a 1989 fuschia Ibanez. It needed a little attention and so Mark replaced strings, pots and the bridge. He hand wound a set of precision jazz combo pickups and installed them for the finishing touch.
It now has "THAT" sound, awesome! My favorite!
