"For me, a GAS pickup is what a
pickup is supposed to be!
The most important thing GAS pickups provide, is the ability to express yourself as a guitarist! If a pickup is flat ,YOU will sound flat !
I've always wanted a pickup to
expose my personal expression through guitar, vibrato, bending,
speed, pinch harmonics and attack. For me these things are what
rock and metal guitar sound is all about !
On my KF signature set, the
riffing is tight and solos are wet and this is a pretty difficult
issue to nail! (Thanks to GAS pickups and Yannis we could do that
with perfect balance!). Dynamics, even on high gain situations, are
spot on. Every note is popping out and sounds clear, the low end is
super tight and you can feel every palm muted notes in your
stomach, during heavy riffing or fast shredding
passages!
You just need a cable and an
Amp - Period!"

"When I first played with GAS
pickups I couldn’t believe that there is actually a pickup that can
respond so accurately to my right hands’s picking attack and have
such an unbelievable quality.
Easily the best pickups I have
ever played...
Having a signature model with this company is a blessing and an honour! Yannis is a person - pleasure to work with, ready to answer to every question and bring to life every rational (or even irrational sometimes ) of my demands."

“With respect to my concern, regarding the tone of the guitar,
I strongly believe that the pickup is the soul of the guitar…
When it comes to my RR Jacksons, GAS Pickups is the only way to go.
Huge dynamics with strong & punchy bass response and of course a wide frequency range so full of life with a sweet heaven and hell feel to the top end….
Not to mention the crispy and aggressive highs with a mellow touch to it at the same time and, boom, you have the ultimate pickup out there!
That’s why GAS Pickups are the heart of my Axes.
Furthermore Yannis and I came up with a signature pickup model.
GAS Karmabucker is a riff machine in a pickup that has a huge bite and tight bass with boosted mids and open sweet chords.
The secret here is that, the past became combined with today’s demands.
The design is based on a classic PAF sound but with a modern feel to it.
Two pole-screw bobbins, unbalanced wound coils and a huge OX ceramic bar especially designed for low tunings situations.
Once more I say, GAS Pickups is the only way to go!”

"My cooperation with GAS and John
began late in 2020.
Firstly, I trusted him on setting up all of my guitars, and I was surprised with the results. My instruments were feeling better on my hands and I was stunned by the fact that the setup process was happening then and there with myself present, based strictly on two factors: John's extensive knowledge of guitar part mechanics, and their functions and my needs as a player.

" Well, I met Yannis for first time in order to turn my Schecter Hellraiser C-1 from active to passive. I was looking for clarity , dynamics, response and a more wide frequency range.
Every pickup has been choosen after serious discussion with Yannis regarding the main use of each instrument, and of course my personal sound. I feel extremely lucky to co-operate with Yannis, not only because he made my guitars sound even better, but also for his professionalism, immediate service when it's necessary (It's very important to know that your guitar tech is really there for you when you are in the middle of a studio session or you play live back to back) and the passion he shares through his stories and experience."

"I am really happy that I found a person with such a knowledge and taste for the guitar sound.
The sound I wanted should be really open with immense dynamics, and GAS Pickups made it reality!
Now all my guitars have GASs Pickups installed. From my Tele to my custom fusion headless guitars.
The art of guitar tone is right here!"
