Rob Timmons founded Arcane Inc to produce quality hand-made guitar pickups. Timmons wound his first pickup in 1990 while attending the Roberto-Venn School of Luthiery and since then he has worked for numerous companies in the guitar industry from large guitar manufacturers to small custom builders like Valley Arts and Tobias handling everything from running custom shops and artist relations programs to entire guitar divisions. For years before Arcane Inc. pickups were available in a retail setting they were being built for OEM accounts.
