APG Pickups has been developing electric guitar pickups since 2010, focusing on tone, response, and real-world performance.<\/h6>

Each model is the result of ongoing design and testing, combining hands-on craftsmanship with a research-driven approach. APG operates as a development-focused workshop, where new ideas, proprietary solutions, and tone-shaping concepts are continuously explored.<\/p>

This includes original technologies such as the DUALTONE<\/strong> system, used in noiseless pickups.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\"\"My name is Andrey Polyakov. I have been involved with guitars and electronics from a very early age. I built my first pickups and effects at the age of 12, experimenting with whatever components were available at the time.
Later, I pursued formal education in radio electronics, completing my degree with a thesis focused on the design and construction of an electric guitar.
In the 1980s, I co-founded POLARUM GUITARS CUSTOM SHOP<\/a>,<\/b> which became a recognized guitar brand in the USSR market.
The following years were dedicated to a career in the IT industry, where I worked on large-scale technology projects in Poland and internationally. This experience shaped my precision, system-oriented thinking, and approach to high-level work.
In 2008, I returned to working with guitars and electronics and in 2010, APG Pickups was established. Since then, I have continuously developed projects related to guitars and tone, which have always been an important part of my life.<\/p>\n

Thank for your support,<\/p>\n
