DS Pickups is an independent manufacturer of magnetic pickups for electric guitars and basses, based in Florida, Buenos Aires, Argentina. The company was founded in 2001 by Darío Soich, a musician and luthier, and his father Donald Soich, an electronic engineer specializing in coil windings, after they rewound a broken Telecaster pickup using vintage winding machines in their workshop.

The company hand-assembles a broad catalog that spans single-coil and hum-canceling sets for Stratocaster and Telecaster, P-90s, Jazzmaster pickups, archtop units, and humbuckers for 6-, 7-, and 8-string guitars, as well as bass pickups. They also produce pre-wired assemblies such as the DS-P1 and DS-P2, and the Plate-Bucker series (DS01, DS02).

DS Pickups positions itself as a boutique operation in which every staff member is a practicing musician, and the company works closely with professional players during product development. The brand has exhibited at NAMM and distributes through guitar shops and luthiers internationally, giving it a presence in the South American builder community and among players seeking handwound alternatives to mainstream pickup makers.

DS Pickups has 6 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Electric Guitar Pickups.
