Bulldog Pickups are the finest sounding replacement pickups available today. Made by guitarist Hayden Minett who used to work for Bare Knuckle pickups and who also currently makes amplification for Matamp. Hayden is no stranger to obtaining a great tone.

“I want you and your guitar to sound as good as it possibly can, so I’ve been obsessive about finding all the best ingredients that go into great sounding pickups. It goes further than that – I personally wind, assemble and test each pickup to guarantee consistent quality.

I’ve spent over 25 years chasing my sound. I’m not quite there yet but I know a great tone when I hear it – as I’m sure you do. We all know how difficult it can be finding your voice, I’m here to make that job easier. Bulldog is built around helping you get the tone you’ve been searching for – if I fail I’ll give you your money back!”

Based in the heart of Derbyshire, on the edge of the Peak District.

We hand make guitar strings, priding ourselves on the attention to detail we put into our work. This means that every single string made by our small team of skilled craftsmen, is made with care and assessed before being packed and sent out. It also allows for us to cater for your individual needs.

At Newtone Strings, we put an optimum amount of time and effort into each string to help benefit our customers, catering for a wide selection of instruments and specific styles of playing.

All aspects of each string can be customised.
