Really great to see a local Massachusetts company still doing it all in house. The fact that Larry is able to tell Mick in so much detail about so many of the processes is a real testament to how he must be as a owner/CEO. I can't imagine too many in his position are invested in the minutiae as much as he appears to be.

Mick nailed it with Fishman having to make stuff in order to make stuff. When you're out there on the bleeding edge of development, there is little that is "off the shelf". I come from a plastics background and them making their own piezoelectric sheets blew my mind. It also makes me weirdly happy that they use a Parker Fly to test the amps with.

Fairly recently became a Fishman convert after years and years of being frustrated with the inconsitencies between identical models of other well known brand pickups across the price ranges. I bought a Solar with some Fishman Moderns and thought they were a little too busy sounding for me but was close to the right direction so took a punt on a pair of Classics and they're literally perfect. The exact sort of tone I've been chasing for years. I've got them in 3 of my main guitars now and another one has a Devin Townsend set.. Cannot speak any more highly of these guys, their products and their attention to tonal detail.

When i watch videos like this about how much thought, work, and detail are actually put into not only making guitars/pickups/amps but to make sure that they stay working is crazy. It honestly makes me respect and love guitars even more just by the sure amount of work and care that goes into it. It also makes me wonder that how do some of these Lutherans(I believe is the name of them) feel when they put all that hard work and dedication into creating something like that only to watch diva celebrities smash said work on stage just for sh*ts and or giggles lol. Like I know a lot either don't care or don't even know. But I know that there are some out there who do though. But this can also be said about other things as well though.

It’s cool, to see things so more precise. And the whole organic kinda thing is cool, but they are making sure everything works and sounds the same as intended. I dig it ver very much. It’s cool to go and do things by hand, but I would get really upset paying a lot for something that doesn’t sound or feel good. Love it. Bought my first set of pick ups from them for a crappy feels good tele I was making into a Frankenstein. Got the Greg pick ups on there, wooo! They rock man, even use em for metal. Dumb to put more expensive pickups in a guitar that cost less, right?😂 idk. It’s one of my favorites, and has to do with those pickups.
