The Tone Man Difference
Gary Standerfer · Noblesville, Indiana — he builds every harness on this site
Every harness is wired by one guy, the Tone Man, Gary Standerfer.
Every harness is hand-soldered point to point, like they did in Fullerton and Kalamazoo in the 50s and 60s.
- From his workshop in Noblesville, Indiana, Gary hand-builds and solders every harness himself.
- One at a time, terminal to terminal, each one checked under a loupe before it ships.
- It’s the reason 10,000+ players have left a 5-star review, and come back for their next guitar.
