“I told my career advisor when I was 16 that I wanted to be a rock star. And he said I had to choose something more realistic. So, I didn’t.”
Early in his musical career he was a jack of all trades, Tour Manager, sound tech, and t-shirt salesman extraordinaire. That eventually led into “looking after the band’s guitars”.
Dave goes on to share his experience as a professional touring guitar tech and of course we take a look at some of his guitars: among those are a MIJ Fender Jazzmaster, Rickenbacker 330, and a Gibson Melody Maker.
Dave has several side hustles and recently gotten into making custom pickups so we discuss his passion for creating the “perfect” tone for his customers.
You can check out his arsenal of pickup offerings at https://www.northernpickups.co.uk/
Many thanks to Dave for your time and talents. We really had a lively and fun conversation that I think everyone will enjoy as much as we did.
