About Us

YHL: A Decade of Sonic Innovation
After years of perfecting tube amps, effectors, and cables, we turned our expertise to solving the ultimate challenge: **engineering the perfect pickup.
The FSSW Breakthrough:
CEO Hank - with his trained musician's ear and physicist's precision - developed Fine Structure Scattering Wound technology to deliver:
✓ The alchemy of tone: Transforming raw materials into musical gold
✓ Hand-wound character with machine consistency
✓ Precision frequency tuning previously only possible with studio EQ
✓ Dynamic response that feels like an extension of your hands
Our Celestial Series:
Each pickup family (Marsbucker, Mercury, etc.) offers:
- Distinct voicings inspired by our amp development experience
- Rich harmonic complexity learned from years of cable refinement
- Plug-and-play perfection thanks to scientific winding control
We don't just make pickups - we perform tone alchemy.
FSSW (Fine Structure Scattering Wound) technology delivers what players truly crave — the organic, lively response of a hand-wound pickup with unmatched consistency.**
Think of it like structural alchemy: we engineer every layer of the coil to behave like a living hand-wound pickup — touch-sensitive, harmonically lush — but with the precision that ensures your tone always shines.
But FSSW goes even further. Beyond just replicating hand-wound character, we've engineered a revolutionary frequency response curve that actively enhances your tone. Where traditional pickups sound flat and one-dimensional, FSSW creates a three-dimensional sonic landscape — notes bloom with natural harmonics, the midrange punches through with clarity, and the highs retain sweetness even at maximum gain.
This isn't just about preserving the magic of hand-wound pickups — it's about evolving it. Every picking nuance, every dynamic shift comes through with breathtaking realism. It's not just a pickup — it's your touch, amplified to its fullest potential."
