"Some of the earliest electric guitar pickups were manufactured by gifted technicians and were the results of trial and error. These efforts lead to one of the most time-tested pickup designs ever…the early single coil pickup. Early versions had black bottoms and were dipped in wax to help with microphonic tendencies. This, of course, created a cosmetic signature that became more and more significant as the years reeled by. The Jimmy Wallace Vintage 50’s pickups utilize the wire, magnets, construction techniques and yes, even the wax dipping that are all contributing factors in producing a pickup that has the incredible sound, look and responsiveness of the vintage original. Having owned (for many years) some of the oldest vintage electric instruments known to exist, Jimmy says “these are the real deal!”

This store made me wish I was a better guitar player. I mean to say, craftsmanship is right on the square in downtown Garland at Jimmy Wallace. Good grief!!! I saw the very best in amps and guitars. And parts and pickups were ready, as were the perfect strings. The quality is obvious. Enjoy the vibe. Save your funds up and shop here for the perfect guitar to change your life.

Thank you and God Bless!
