All Perri Ink guitars are built by hand in Nick's shop Perri InkCartel in Los Angeles, CA.

I asked Nick what he liked about Seymour Duncan pickups, and whyhe chose the models used in the Native guitars:

"I've been using Seymour Duncan pickups for over a decade,and have always turned to them for my guitar projects. I feel likethe attention to detail and overall care level that goes into theirproducts and developments is far above stock productionpickups.

For my newest creations from PERRI INK. Custom Guitars, theNative, I chose 2 different pickup setups. For the more traditionalSSS, I went with the classic Vintage Staggered pickups. Terrific tone,punch, balance, and a classic vibe that's hard to beat.

For the more radical HSS, I went with a combination ofpickups I've adored for years.. a Lipstick Tube for Strat® pickup inthe neck, a Vintage Staggered in the middle, anda Alnico II Pro or Custom Shop '78 Model in thebridge.

The Lipstick pickup is such a hidden gem in the guitar'stonal spectrum. It's jangle and sizzle are incredible! The VintageStaggered is a given. The Alnico II Pro is a killer humbuckingbridge pickup, and the upgraded option to go with a Custom Shop '78Model is over the top badass. If you're not in the know about the'78 Model pickup, do some homework. That's all I'msaying!"
