“Hi. Just a quick thank you, I got a pair of Blues Engine pickups from you recently for a Les Paul I was building. Wired it all up, Plugged it in, Could not believe the sound. Damned thing squeals like a banshee in heat swinging an angry cat, More Balls than an army of Rambo's !!!. Really nice clean tones as well, especially in the middle position. These were my first pair of pickups from you guys. I am so impressed I have since bought 3 more sets, I think that says it all really. Needless to say I will be having more of these.” – Paul, AEolian Guitars, Dublin

I wanted to drop you a line to say thanks for getting the Blues Engine pickup to me so rapidly – it arrived on Monday morning having been ordered late on Friday night! A quick cup of tea and a couple of blobs of solder later it was in – into a really nice Tokai Love Rock. This is a guitar that I swapped the rear pickup for a Bare Knuckle Riff Raff that I already had in a little played guitar a week ago. Anyway, I was really impressed with the Riff Raff – and had planned to stick a “Stormy Monday” into the neck...until I saw the Blues Engine. I am so glad that I didn’t order the Stormy Monday. The Blues Engine is simply stunning. It wasn’t a surprise that it is absolutely perfect for blues, but it also sounds fantastic for the more rocky Gilmour/Floyd stuff that we play – singing like a bird and sustaining forever. I love it – thanks so much and no doubt I will be troubling you again in the near future for more! – Mike H’, Preston

"Hey Guys, noticed the Blues Engine on your site a month or so ago and decided to pounce even though there was no feedback or reviews yet. I've tried the Hot Slag and Alchemist 90, so wondered what an extra £10 would get you… Well, mucho mojo is the answer. I put it in one of those cheap single pickup travel Hofners and WOW! Fantastic dirty, gritty blues, but with complex harmonics - I'm in slide heaven. Love to see a coil tappable version in the future. Congrats on a wonderful pickup." - Andy, Banbury

"Great service/great product and I love the 'Blues Engines' they've brought my Epi Dot to life!...thanx Axetec" - Steve, Edinburgh

“I fitted the Blues Engine in place of the Hot Slag in my Epiphone LP and all I can say is wow! The tone and sound is just superb when played through my RAT Hot Rodded Amp. I am very impressed with the Blues Engine, I like the Slag and that'll be put to use in another guitar, but the Blues Engine has to be the best pickup to sit in the bridge position of a LP I've heard.” – Simon, New Malden

“Predictably superb pickups………..as ever……but the Blues engine is a step further on!” – Tom, Telford
