  • Summary

  • A lipstick pickup is an electric guitar pickup with a captivating sound and appearance that has a devoted cult following that grows with each passing year. True to their name, they were originally chrome lipstick tubes stuffed with magnets and electronics that were the inspired invention of Nathan Daniel, founder of Danelectro. Born from his genius instinct for innovation as well as his devotion to a "rigid cost control" philosophy, they were an essential component of the guitars that helped stoke an affordable rock-n-roll revolution.

    The Lipstick Pickup Podcast is an amateur (but very inspired) unscripted, unedited conversation devoted to the entirety of the subject. Hosted by Emily Walters (a music lover in Nashville) and Robert Maché (a professional guitarist in Memphis), The Lipstick Pickup Podcast is a fan friendly primer on the subject of American music history. The first 19 episodes can be enjoyed sequentially or at random, but we hope you'll take it from the top and enjoy new weekly episodes.
