About Us
Our Story
The name AmberPickups stands for high-quality pickups that impress with their extremely good sound characteristics. The basis of our work is our own sound concepts, visions, and comparisons with historical instruments. From this wealth of experience, we draw ideas for new products or gain insights to better understand historical models.
For the development and design of pickups, this means, for example, that we focus particularly on achieving a high degree of transparency and the greatest possible dynamic response with perfect articulation.
This made it possible to set milestones, such as the
The 94 Classic (1994), which is now also built by many other major pickup and guitar manufacturers; or the wax-free design principle for humbuckers (2007), which harmonizes the special sound standard of a vintage pickup with modern requirements.
Today, we also collaborate with physicists, laboratories, and engineers to gain new insights, develop and implement ideas, or optimize manufacturing processes.
Besides the few standard models that we show here on the website, we also build many special models for various guitar manufacturers in Germany and Europe.
You've probably already played one or two guitars that were equipped with Amber pickups. In any case, we're happy if our pickups enrich your sound and you have even more enjoyment playing guitar!
