Builder Questionnaire: Lumberjack Components
Please introduce yourself.
Rob Saxby - Lumberjack Components
What do you make?
I make wiring harnesses for guitars and basses.
Why do you make what you do?
I noticed a gap in the Canadian market for affordable wiring kits and components, and have never been happy with factory wiring- I took matters into my own hands!
What was the first piece of guitar gear that excited or inspired you?
It would have to be the first electric guitar I ever bought myself- a Peavey JF1EX, bought at the age of 15. It was a 335-style guitar that played better than it should have for the price. I spent months changing parts and pickups in it and it kicked off my passion for modifying guitars.
What’s your current favourite piece of guitar gear?
I have a 2015 Telecaster that I have heavily modified- gold hardware, matte black pickguard, Seymour Duncan Jazz in the neck, and of course, some custom wiring. It’ll always be my #1 axe.
What have you been listening to lately?
My mainstays are Incubus, Jack Johnson, and all classic rock
Ideally, where do you see yourself/company/brand in 5 years?
I would like to expand Lumberjack into the pickup market and sell full bespoke tone packages. Pickups wound to spec with wiring configurations to complement them!
