Jerry Wallace is a fake

Post by Larry Behm »

Here is a guy that builds a pickup that everyone likes the minute they put it in their guitar. Just can't be.

Here is a guy that offers service above and beyond the call of duty to every single customer. Just can't be.

Here is a guy with not one negative feedback comment about his product and service on the forum. Just can't be.

Here is a guy that when you talk to him really understands exactly what you are saying about sound and then proceeds to build a pickup (or two) to fill the bill. Just can't be.

Come on folks this guy has got to be a fake, no one can possibly be that good, Image Image Image

Just trying to get the juices flowing here, great job Jerry, keep up the great work, we all love what you are doing and what you stand for.

Larry,
I couldn't agree more. He is absolutely the best "fake" when it comes to pick ups and being a nice person. Image!!!!

Give us particulars, Larry. Do you have one of Jerry's pickups on your P/P?

I told Jerry how my new Mullen sounded through my amp, and how I wanted it to sound like after a pick-up rewind. He worked up a custom re-wind on my stock pick-up to my exact satisfaction. Fast service, highest quality workmanship, and very reasonable rates. I'm impressed!!!

I've got to chime in too....Jerry rewound the bass pickup for my Gibson Console Grand.
The rewind was a perfect match both in appearance, electrical specifications, and performance.
Can't say enough about Jerry and his craftsmanship.

I'm sure hopin' you guys are right (not that he's a fake but that his pickups are too good to be true)

Some folks whose opinions I really trust talk about JW like he walks on water every morning before breakfast. That true, Jerry???? :-)

I have a big complaint about Jerry. Back in December I sent him a Mullen pickup to rewind and he had the audacity to take a whole week off at Christmas before doing the job. A whole week! Just because his wife asked him to. Can you believe that?

What a great sounding pickup at a great price!

Well, I just received, installed, and had a rehearsal and a session with Jerry's pickup. It is now a permanent fixture in my new Fessy. Sounds great whether through an amp or studio board. I kinda warned the engineer that it was a single coil and he was thinking Tele. His response: WHAT NOISE? The response is much more even than any humbucker I've tried and the highs and high mids lost all the harshness I had with the L-712 it replaced.

I think the combination of the 'Two Jerrys' (Wallace and Fessenden) is a super match-up. Thanks Mark vanAllen, Mike Holland, and the others who convinced me to switch.
