"I wasn't happy with my custom guitar's electronics. It's a PRS/ES335 type hollow body. I talked at length with Stan and he recommended his Legacy on the bridge and his Kashmir on neck. I played a few gigs with them and was happy. However, when my MIDI was having problems the Tech convinced me to install Duncans (Jazz in neck and JB in bridge). The sound just wasn't there. The Stan Hinesley pickups killed the Duncans. I had his pickups installed again because they had a more rounded sound, more response and just better tone. Stan is also a great person, very courteous and knowledgeable. I highly recommend his pickups." Enrique Gardano- Florida

Viper Sound Clip Performed by Daniel Tan
Viper Sound Clip Performed by Ty Oliver
"The Viper killed the Evo 2. Kicked it off my guitar totally. It straddles the line between vintage and modern tones, kind of PAF-ish but has great bass, tight too. There's this slight fizz (for lack of a better word) which gives this Viper a raw character. About the mids...very crisp and clear for rhythm, I would think its more articulate than the Evo 2. Note clarity and separation is very good. Very very good. It cleans up quite well, I would say the Evo 2 cleans up in a smoother way but no biggie to me. Harmonics? It sure can scream! The Evo 2 screams more easily by a hair but this Viper sounds more... organic, warmer than the Evo 2. Split, it has a more bold tone and interprets your picking dynamics well. Strangely, though the Viper's DC resistance is measured at 13.5k, its magnet pull (I used an allen key to compare) is much weaker than the Evo 2... very cool. Means more sustain. Overall, the main thing that makes the Viper rock so HARD... is the raw character. It just makes you wanna rip out with some old school riffing, if you get what I mean... Its a killer pup to me. What I want... bite, raw-ness and attitude.." Daniel Tan- Singapore

"Stan Hinesley Pickups have it all, Gain, Clarity, and Warmth. I love how dynamic they allow you to be. From lush crystal clear cleans, to buzzsaw distortion (and everything in between) These pickups don't disappoint!" Ty Oliver- California

"The TL Custom pick up sounds like a 747 on afterburner! Awesome! Terry :)"
Terry Lauderdale- Heathen, Hot for Teacher, Terry Lauderdale Project- California

"We just got done listening and playing your pickup... You Are The Man..... Awesome work! We used our main practice amp and and my own personal guitar, sounds great / I put it in mine like tons of other stuff we test because I know what my guitar sounds like .... really dig the less bass needed on the amp and you can actually turn up the treble without sounding thin and brittle / good chord articulation with high gain settings / nice clean tone with the volume rolled down...etc (could go on for days). It (the TL Custom) shreds!"
Marc Price- MSP Guitars

Hellion Sound Clip Performed by Ryan Rister

"I installed my Stan Hinesley Hellion pickup on tuesday and.....holy shit......that thing rocks!!!! Even the other bandmates were floored! It's got a really meaty low end and a punch that knocks the dust off of my carvin amp speakers and hits you in the heart. I love it! It feeds back easily, so I can get some really cool sustaining effects. Screw the other guys......I hope to get my "number 2" strat fully "stan'd" out in the near future!!! GREAT JOB, STAN!!!!!!"

"I found Stan and his site when looking for a Clapton tone mod/boost. He was very helpful and when discussing my pickup preferences (bluesbucker), told me about his Fusion pickups. I now have them on all my strats for the bridge position. Killer P-90ish tone and silent (ie, no hum). Great pickup, business, and guy (Stan, that is)! Do yourself a favor and check out Stan's wares. You can't go wrong."
Jon Sterngold- California

Viper7/DropZone7 Sound Clip Performed by Daniel Tan
(Viper7 Bridge / DropZone7 Neck)

The very cool thing about the Dropzone7 (7-String) is its focused tone. Its not overly fat and midboosted, so you get better articulation with it. Excellent choice for the neck." Daniel Tan- Singapore
