DON MARE PICKUPS - NOT "CLOSED" I still make Pickups, I just sell them on Reverb.com instead.

2025 equals 25-years in PICKUP MANAFACTURING for me. I AM BUILDING - not quiting - big differance - except when the pickup is done - it goes on an AD at REVERB.com BECAUSE the old way of prepays and orders went Viral in 2022 and it almost Closed me down, ok

SCHEMATICS / WIRING

2-year full Warranty

I am 99% CLOSED
I have no working SALES/SERVICE/TECH/HELP CENTER... except for warranty work (only)
cannot answer any email's [ my apoligies ]
 I'm not on the phone or its text messaging  anymore.

THE CATCH IS: I do build still _ but_ It is only what I can build when I can build... no selections are avalible anymore.. as_in a Menu.

  I am only willing to put those pickups I have finished up for sale on a whim at REVERB.com
I do not know when I will put up ads _ thats no longer a question I can answer... so I cannot offer a heads up... [apoligies]

reason is, I cannot run a full service store or a 
pickup makers shop anymore or will I agree to being held accountable for a staffed pickup makers shop any longer and all the duties it requires of me... Especially as it was going all hours and holidays too...

So I flat out just had to up and QUIT, But realisticaly it is  more like I am on a LEAVE / a SABATICAL if you will?  or say Semi_Retired... with no plans to return as of yet.

So for now I am still freelancing REVERB only sales on www.reverb.com under "DON MARE"

  My combined run was 25 years 
My *Start date was JAN. 1st 1999, And I must admit it was fun and I loved doing it all. untill the VIRAL stuff hit me like a brick in the face~ after that nothing was the same or fun at all.. I did two years of work alone and disconnected from life and customers - to insure every pickup ever ordered from me SHIPPED OUT that was OCT 19th 2022 when I send that last order out of the shop. 
I have tried to relaunch DMP sevral times since
Its proved impossible... the VIRAL Popularity thing.. prevents me from switching the PAYPAL ON and taking orders as it would just flood again...
And the thought of having shipped all my orders
was like being re-born -- I really will never go under the ORDER SYSTEM or wait list etc... again -- MY JIB ain't cut for it anymore after 20 years of it.  [Apoligies]

 - Now I am soon to be 68- And I love my SENIOR YEAR'S LIFE  STYLE BEST- and I have earned it too.

So be sure to use those ALERTS at REVERB.com
I posted a Link on left <<<<< page menu <<<<

 - I do not use the message system at REVERB at all ok... no repiles there [ aploigies ]

FOLKS, I have to do it this way,
or there is no RETIREMENT FOR ME AT ALL.
only 24/7 365 days a year work... the pickups
 went VIRAL in 2021 - by Nov 2022 I was CLOSED
shut down due to the VIRAL SALES BLOOM.


ENDING: 
So... Other then building a few random pickups
for the bills each month those all go to REVERB.com  (only)  sorry but I cannot
accept messages or being contacted after 25 years,
 I did my time my friends_ I can no longer promise the MOON yet I'd love to if I could, { I liked the OLD DON MARE PICKUP maker task before the 2021 VIRAL silliness - Really ruined it for you and I'm so sorry DM


 

Warranty is 2 - years - dates are on bottom in code ( 1222 ) would be DEC. 2022
I do handle WARRANTYS but only when they fall under that 2- years

Pickups Contract and Expand - Industry Expects 5% to fail.
 Mines are under 1% I am very conscience of quality is why -

IF you have a Dead pickup not under warranty - I suggest, Tom Brantley Rewind it for you. Tom Brantly rewinds North Carolina.

I do not rewind - I can only offer a new one at current market rate.
