Jerry Wallace

Jeremy Moyers · From: Lubbock, TX

Not sure if this has been posted anywhere yet, but my friend Jerry Wallace, steel guitarist and builder of Wallace Truetone Pickups, passed away Friday February 7th after a lengthy battle with cancer. Prayers for his family would be greatly appreciated. He was a great man and will be missed by many! His son Robbie is one of my oldest friends and let us know about his passing this morning.

Terrible news.

Allen Howington · From: North Carolina, USA

Good Man, and always made me feel like I lived next door to him when doing business with him. I considered him a friend even though we never met in person.....

Very sad news for the steel guitar fraternity. Jerry's products were top class, and he was always very helpful and a good person to deal with. Crying or Very sad

I am sorry to hear this. Over the years Jerry rewound a number of pickups for me and they were always perfect.
Praying for comfort for the family.

So sorry to hear this. His pickups were renown for their sound and his service was impeccable.
My condolences to his family.
RIP. Jerry

Sad news IndeedðŸ˜” Years ago Jerry rewound a couple S~B pickups for my SuperPro. He pulled the pole pieces up so they are about 1/8thâ€ above top plate and just sound wonderful. He had gotten so busy with his TrueTone line that he couldnâ€™t take on a couple more I had. Weâ€™ll miss you Jerry and hopefully someone can carry on your fine work. Prayers for his family, til we meet again.

Doug Earnest · From: Branson, MO USA

I'm very sorry. Jerry made a good number of pickups for me. We visited on the phone quite a bit, he was very likeable.

Dave Zirbel · From: Sebastopol, CA USA

He made a great pickup for a great price...must have been a great guy! RIP Jerry.

Oh no; my heart is hurting bad. Jerry and I did so much work together in the last 15 years; as he/we designed the best TrueTone Pickup ohmage for the Sho~bud and he was the only one that would re-wind an original sho~bud pickup for me and include the 3-wire coil tap; and always chewed me out a little about that 3rd wire...I can still hear him; but he would still always do it for me. Ok now I'm crying.
I love you Jerry; I will think about you every day and PLEASE; Go Rest High On That Mountain.
RIP.
Ricky

Who's gonna fill his shoes?

Bob Carlucci · From: Candor, New York, USA

Oh boy, bad news after bad news in our community.. I used Jerry's pickup for years.. Other steel players loved the sound of my Truetone equipped steels, so Jerry certainly did something right... Big shoes to fill, when it comes to making good quality, classic sounding single coil steel guitar pickups... bob

Dude was a master. I've got one Bud rewind and one odd egg he made for me out of a failing GL TPPP. He was a hell of an asset to our community.

Damir Besic · From: Nashville,TN.

that is very sad news, I used his pickups enywhere I could... Mr. PapiÄ‡ used True Tone pickups as a standard pickup on all of his Promat guitars , and I have them on my Promat today as well as in all the other Promat guitars I bought in the past ... RIP Jerry ðŸ˜”.
