I reinvented the Prismatone pickup probably as much as anything because I wanted to meet Willie. Well that and the sound of the pickup was cool as hell. I’m still trying to meet Willie, but by the grace of the guitar gods and one famous luthier friend I got to shake Trigger’s hoof. #WillieNelson #MarkErlewine #Prismatone #MartinN20 #CountryMusic #Lutherie #AcousticGuitar #GuitarPickups #Trigger
Three classic electric guitar models with one cool new feature in common — a Prismatone bridge pickup. An evolutionary third pickup utilizing Prismatone’s patented piezo technology to enhance the existing magnetic pickup sounds on your favorite Gibson Les Paul, Fender P-Bass and Hofner bass models, for starters.   A whole new dimension in sound for your favorite solidbody electric guitars.  Available soon. #playprismatone #piezoelectric #prismatonepickups #basspickups #lespaul #hoffnerbass #pbass #electricbass
What does the Prismatone Classic sound like? While every Prismatone has an immediately recognizable tone, our piezo-electric guitar pickups are capable of producing a wide range of tonal variations. Passive and Active Preamp configurations as well as your choice of stock and special order bridges complete the tonal package for your desired look, functionality and sound. A Prismatone pickup cuts through any mix—whether you're performing on stage, recording in the studio or just playing guitar at home. Why is Prismatone different? Unmatched Clarity: Experience every note, every harmonic, with pristine accuracy. No Compromise on Tone: Your perfect tone, from deep lows to sparkling highs. Versatile & Reliable: Perfect for any performance setting, from solo gigs to full band arrangements. Control Your Output: Add custom volume and tone controls right at your fingertips. Custom Design: Select from a variety of bridge shapes that blend perfectly with your guitar’s aesthetic. Crafted with vintage precision and modern reliability, the Prismatone Pickup is more than just a component—it's the heart of your amplified guitar sound. Whether you rely on a sparkly treble, a more naturally balanced sound, a booming bass or any tonal variety in between... Prismatone has you colored!
Feeling Triggered? This isn’t Willie’s guitar, but it sure sounds like it. After a quick binding repair and tuner peg replacement this Trigger replica Martin N20 from the early ‘70’s (painstakingly modified to look like a ‘69 N20 by its owner) got one of our custom Skinny Willie rosewood bridges installed on it with the Prismatone Classic pickup and is now fully legit. We take pride in our custom guitar modifications, service and repairs here at Prismatone HQ in downtown Austin, Texas. Contact us via PrismatonePickups.com today to get your own Prismatone Pickup installed. Get Triggered! #playprismatone #prismatonepickups #guitarrepairshop #martinn20 #guitarpickup #guitarbridge #acousticelectric #piezopickup #lutherie

Did anybody else notice Lukas Nelson playing a Prismatone at Outlaw Music Fest? This could answer the age old question. “Will a Prismatone make me sound like Willie?” Ask Lukas Nelson.
The secret’s out! Prismatone Pickups are back, and we hope to see you in Nashville at the annual Chet Atkins Appreciation Society this July. It’s Chet’s 100th birthday anniversary! We’ll be demo’ing vintage and modern Prismatone preamps, pickups and guitars. Our good buddies Phil Hunt, Will Worden and Strung Up Sisters will be in tow to talk shop, answer questions and play along with you. Happy 100th, Chet! You’re the real legend! #playprismatone #CAAS2024 #prismatonepickups #pickers #piezoelectric
