1998 was when I stumbled thru The InterWeb door and landed here, Once known as:_DONZO

[Don Mare]

I was Reverend:_Donzo_ the "Reverend" added to my handle was a gift from the Moderator "Rodney Gene" from the Custom Shop

--I cut my teeth on pickups here - ( every-night ) had a good memory for pickups and nothing else at all! --

--a year later I started a Job in the Pickup Industry In some far away place that made (FENDER LACE SENSORS) --

--5-years later I started my own Pickup (Bootique-1-man) Industry & been at it for 17 years --

-- today I'm feeling very old and will be older Dec 15th (65) --

-- Byeeeee --

Good to see you stopping in, Don. You've built yourself a reputation for making great pickups.

Wow, that’s the same year I ended up here on the same quest. Rodney, Butch and Kellie all were very helpful and I had a great time researching and swapping pickups.

Quite a nice business you’ve built, Don! I need to try out a set of your Tele pickups…
