I had thought yours was a Small nitch market. Are you finding many new customers for your pickups, selling to larger Guitar makers, or what?
Not trying to be too forward here, just nice to hear of a good success story.
Especially with a fellow Pelican

It's actually been a very slow year for the music industry, for some reason. Things started slowing to a crawl just before summer hit, for a lot of people. But, I'm working on making some changes around here in the meantime.
I started some serious development on a new pickup designed to fit in a rout that's not designed to accept it (P90 for humbucker routs) using the traditional P90 coil geometry, which no others do...they all cheat by altering coils. (change the coils, change the sound) A 50+ year old problem has finally been solved gracefully.
We're putting together a
Kickstarter campaign (preview, feedback appreciated) in hopes to fund the tooling because the year's been so slow. Youtube's
"Doug and Pat Show" will be fitting a 3D printed beta pair this weekend, and filming a segment/review on it next week. Hoping it catches some attention.
I sell a fair amount to the smaller, high end guitar builders. Used to sell a lot to Fernandez Guitars in Japan, till I fired them as a customer. No large companies like Fender or Gibson though. Mostly to players.
