How to order & Prices

A big part of a custom guitar are the pickups. All Nijssen Guitars are equipped with custom wound pickups and are matched with the guitar to make every instrument unique. These custom pickups are from several boutique builders/winders, who make excellent remakes of the most sought after vintage pickups. I also make my own handwound single coil pickups and source my own wire gauge for that authentic vintage 60's sound; clear, 3D sounding with all the rings and bells. So the goal is to hear the guitar with an open sound with a medium till low output pickup, without coloring the natural sound of the tonewoods in any particular way. Finally CTS potentialmeters are voiced and matched with the pickups.An "No load" tone pot is part of the tone circuit to give that extra high end sparkle if needed.

There is something unique and special added to every Nijssen Custom Guitar: The “Clean up filter”. It opens new possibilities in creating sounds and dynamics of your guitar in combination with your volume pot. The “Clean up filter” which is applied exclusively in every Nijssen Custom Guitar.

Apart from pickups and wood, the hardware contributes also to tone and tuning stability. I use only the best hardware available. From ABM till Gotoh 510 bridges and 510 locking tuners. For electronics CTS potentialmeters. Different bridge saddles are optional.

As a guitar builder and a guitarist myself, I’ve got all the important experience to give you the best possible setup for the desired string height and sound of your guitar. The past ten years I’ve setup and repaired thousands of guitars (almost every guitar in the book) with a portfolio of more than seven hundred happy frequently visiting clients and collectors. That said; a guitar should, feel, play and sound right when it leaves my shop, it’s got my name on it.
