Why We Designed A Different Electric Guitar

At Willcox Guitars, we are on a mission to bring high-definition sound to the world of electric guitars and basses by combining fine instrument design and choice materials with our revolutionary LightWave Optical Pickup System. Using infrared light to capture the pure vibrational signal of the strings eliminates the noise, interference, and distortion inherent in traditional magnetic and piezo pickups. Free from the magnetic field, the strings on our instruments vibrate naturally, providing unparalleled harmonic richness and dynamic range. It’s the perfect alignment of quality instrument design and progressive technology for the modern musician.

Why We Designed A Different Electric Guitar

At Willcox Guitars, we are driven by our mission to bring high-definition sound to the world of electric guitars and basses. This is achieved by combining fine instrument design and choice materials with our LightWave optical pickup system. Using infrared light to read string vibration in its cleanest and most natural form eliminates the noise, interference, and distortion inherent in traditional magnetic and piezo pickups. The guitar string is allowed to vibrate freely, providing a new level of harmonic richness and dynamic range. The resulting instruments are a reflection of a longstanding history of dedication to quality sound and progressive technology for the modern musician.
