Founded in 2000 by Michael McWhorter and Andy Turner, Mojotone is an American manufacturer of guitar pickups, tube amplifiers, speaker cabinets, and amp components based in Burgaw, North Carolina. The company started as an electronics repair shop in Winston-Salem, sourcing vintage surplus parts before growing into a full-scale manufacturer. All Mojotone pickups are handcrafted at their North Carolina facility, and the company also serves as an OEM builder for roughly 100 boutique amplifier and guitar brands.

Mojotone's product line spans handwound pickups (humbuckers, single-coils, P-90s, and Firebird-style), tube amplifier heads and combos, DIY amp and pedal kits, speaker cabinets, and a range of amp components including transformers, tubes, and circuit boards. The company offers several artist-signature pickups, including Bill Kelliher's Hellbender humbuckers, Dustie Waring's Tomahawk humbuckers, Paul Waggoner's Hornet humbuckers, Johnny Winter's Firebird pickup, and Rene Martinez's Quiet Coil Strat pickups. One of their most prominent collaborations is the Lerxst line with Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson, which encompasses amplifiers like the Omega and Chi heads, as well as guitars, pickups, and effects pedals.

Beyond their own branded gear, Mojotone is a go-to supplier for amp builders and DIY enthusiasts, stocking a deep catalog of vintage-spec and modern components. Their client list of artists who rely on Mojotone-built or Mojotone-supplied gear includes names like Jack White, Billy Gibbons, Trey Anastasio, and Jimmy Herring.

Mojotone has 33 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Electric Guitar Pickups, Guitar Amplifier Cabinets, and Miscellaneous Guitar Parts. Their gear is featured by 12 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Metal, and Blues. Notable users include Bill Kelliher, Jason Isbell, and Greg Howe. Most Mojotone products sit firmly in the high-end, boutique range.
