You’ll hear more harmonic content from your electric guitar with the Own Your Tone guitar kit.  That’s because the kit generates electrical signals from the string vibrations in a whole new way.  The neodymium super magnets under the strings create tiny electrical signals in the strings which are sent out to your amplifier. 

That and a little gain from a transformer is all you need to get awesome harmonic overtones that your old pickups were simply incapable of producing.  All traditional pickups have a coil of wire that acts like a low-pass filter, greatly attenuating the harmonics.  The Own Your Tone kit uses no coils of wire, so there is no such limitation. 

Of course, you still want your old pickups to work, so the kit includes a simple toggle switch that is easily wired to select either factory or kit pickup.  The kit installation requires some metal fabrication of thin sheet metal and running a wire down the neck of the guitar, so it is not a beginner’s kit.  If you are unsure about installing the kit, we recommend contacting a luthier in your area. 

Here is an audio sample demonstrating the kit.
