While they have branched out with their own MIDI controller instruments, they still offer their add-on electronics for guitars. Michael Hedges' Klein electric harp-guitar has Starr Switch electronics installed; take a close look to see what the switches look like. They will have Stanley Jordan at their booth in the upcoming NAMM show demoing their MIDI controllers.

Date: Tue, 24 Jan 1995 15:24:50 -0500 To: "Timothy J. Stanley" <tjs@eecs.umich.edu> From: Mel_Waldorf@postoffice.brown.edu (Mel Waldorf) Yeah, Gretsch plays a strange game. You see they're really not in the aftermarket for pick ups. I have sent them a letter asking if they sell pickups. They said that they don't, but to contact D&F in Cincinnati to get them. So D&F buys new pickups from Gretsch as "replacement" parts but obviously, will sell to anyone. I got Gretsch's address out of a Guitar Player magazine ad. D&F Products, INc. is at 6735 Hidden Hills Dr. Cincinnati OH 45230 (513)232-4972. Man in charge is Duke Kramer. They sell all sort of Gretsch parts, including DeArmond and HiLoTron pickups. I don't know if that counts as aftermarket, but for anyone interested in the Gretsch sound, who, like me, doesn't have an extra $3G, the pickups are a great option. And no, I am not affiliated with either D&F or Gretsch, just a guy who wants to spread the word on a good deal. Again, take care, and keep up the good work on the server!

Telephone 609-573-6260. Or try the yellow pages under Magnets. I did this a while ago and had a bunch of catalogues sent to me. Of course you have to wade through the pages and pages of ceramic magnets to get to the good stuff. Cary Clements San Francisco
