History

Bob Gabriel became interested in guitars at a young age, and after his teacher broke Bob’s guitar at school, Bob decided to repair the guitar and re-wind the pickups, using small electric motor and double sided tape to hold the pickup in place and rotate it while spooling wire around the pickup bobbin. He was then inspired by how the tone of the guitar had changed for the better, and started research to learn more about pickups. He also learned a lot from his father, an F14 pilot and his first guitar teacher! After that he began repairing pickups at music shops and later on in 2005 started 4seasonspickups.
