As a young man, the designer of each of our pickup models, Gregg Myers, was instilled with confidence when his father told him that he had the ability to do anything he desired because he had “the Myers hands.” This propelled him to toy with ideas and eventually brought about the concept behind the striking wood drum he designed and built for his son. With the electronics for amplification mounted inside the drum, this design innovation earned Gregg his initial patent.

From there, the idea progressed to placing the amplification components into a smaller box which could be used on multiple instruments. The Myers Pickup was born, creating the universal aspect of our pickups and allowing them to be used on any acoustic instrument!
