Color of your guitar affects your tone 😅 aka tone paint 😂. Lake placid blue gives more bright tones. Gold gives warmth 😊. Jk…the things you read on the interwebs. Whatever you do, don’t say tonewoo…😅

Quais pickups me recomenda colocar nessa prs? Pois não curti o som com os originais de fábrica. Abraço!

For the hardware I agree but I also think it really depends on the guitar. If that makes sense.. like the bridge is way more important on a strat then a Les Paul. I am a tele guy so hardware barely makes 5% lol as long as it has brass saddles 😆 Would love to hear what you guys think about Glenn Frickers at spectre and his claims that pickups make no difference lol , it's all in the speakers. I understand what he's getting at , especially with metal and lots of distortion, but I disagree as soon as you have clean or transparent overdrive. I think then pickups change the dynamics quite a bit.

I dig these videos, great format.

Nice sounding -- I hear what you mean by "sweetness". Can you tell me the coil resistance? Thank you.

Hello nice video i often observe when there is a coil split a much lower output because it becomes single so the sound is much lower. But how to manage to keep to have the same level of sound ? Is there something we can do to avoid this problem ?

anybody that says this guy is wrong is an idiot. he is absolutely correct. how do i know he is right your probably asking and that is a very good question to ask. number 1 I am an old fucker. i have been around for a long time and with that comes a certain amount of wisdom. number 2. and more important i have built quarter sawn and in my younger stupider days i built some flat sawn necks that warped, its never happened to my quarter sawn necks. so if any of you morons have anything bad to say about what this young very knowledgeable young man has said shut your cock suckers up because you dont know what you are talking about, Thank you Brian for your wise words.

if i used a higher or lower value resistor, how would that affect the sound?

what engraver is it?

By chance, do you guys still own this guitar?

Nice sound. Do you use 250K or 500K Pots?

Nice grit and clarity.

Are these pickups hum cancelling?

That mod sounds really good.

Finally explained and explained well. thank you!

why is it people spend good money on a high Quality PRS guitar just to turn around and tare it apart and change everything , i have three PRS amazing guitars and not once have i ever felt the need to rip them apart or change anything about them ! what a waste of time and an insult to the high quality PRS name brand . change your gear or amps and so on to get what you are looking for in tone and sound and not ripping up a high quality guitar .

i bought a 6way freeWay switch to slap on this guitar, now i just gotta figure out how to install it lol. lookin forward to hearing your mods!

Nice playing Brian!

Something weird with the audio

Love my build. A great way to get a custom built relic with Porter pickups installed at the shop.

hello whats the power of laser? thank you!

I've just designed a game-changer for electric guitars. It took several years.

use a solderpump to remove the solder after heating

They sound great, man.

That’s a nice guitar !

i need HELP ! what do we do with the 3 tabs (upper pot section)

Your Gatekeeper blade pups really flesh out the tones over the shrill 85/15S. Room seems echoey, needs foam baffles?

I opened a music store 2 and a half years ago. I have a very deep background in sales and marketing, I have worked for small businesses and at the corporate level as well. Online will definitely be here but so will locally owned music stores. I think it will go back to your hometown music stores, a few big box stores, and online sales. The one thing that's consistent with the big corporate stores, is once they go public the service starts to slide. They start messing with everyone's pay and that translates to turnover. I have also seen a ton of guitars coming in for setup that were ordered online. And don't be fooled by the 55-point inspection, that's not a setup or even close. Support your locally owned businesses, they provide jobs and great experience. Not some corporate CEO who doesn't even play anything.

use a manual driver. you'll have much finer control and be able to dial things in far more accurately (we're talking fractions of a turn)

Any plans for blade humbuckers for Strat size pickups? (“Hot rails”)

Good stuff!

Two tools all guitarists use.

Those chairs take me back. A dark smoke filled bar. Hit me with a martoonie bartender.

With those pickups that Squire sounds better than Fender 70th Vintage for 2K

Just put in an order for these. Very happy with the Stewmac double edged files because there are tapered and therefore very strong and not flimsy, even for the small sizes. The small single gauge Stewmac files on the other hand are TERRIBLE like you show. I had a 16 and it totally messed up my slot from all the un-tapered friction and wobbly deflection. Sending those single files back and buying the Music Nomad files instead to supplement the missing sizes. Big shame that Stewmac won’t make the double edged files in more sizes. They really are a complacent, money gouging business these days

I just wired pickgaurd with master partial split for 2 humbuckers using 10k trimmers, one for each pickup . Next step will be to relocate them outside the PG for instant adjustment .

Informative video for sure -- thank you. It would make it more useful/informative (to my ears) if you used identical guitars. I mean, our goal is to compare pickups, so eliminating other variables makes that comparison more valid. You both played identical chords, and commented that the mini-hums in the Yamaha sounded fuller and warmer (which they did). But how much of that was due to the differences between the two guitars? You're pickup experts and you probably have ideas on that, but as a content consumer, I'm not really sure. I pretty much only play hollow bodies, and all other things equal, I find them warmer and fuller than solids or semi-hollow. I call it "wuff", as in "A Gretsch has more wuff than a Tele". I always enjoy your vids and thank you for producing them.

I've gotten good things from MJT but have also received crap. They did a neck for me that was beyond bad, ruined really. They bought me a new neck and that came back really bad too, like not even close to looking legitimate. I just refinished it myself, the maple fingerboard that is. They also didn't send the nut or the string tree. I've given up on them because if they were happy with what they sent me then that means they have no idea what they are doing. Waste of money and time.

Neck sounded decent bridge was a little too gritty for my liking

Nice tones!

I like it.

I hate titles like "THIS GUITAR CHANGES EVERYTHING" and s*** like that. No matter how helpful the channel is, I unsubscribe immediately when I see clickbait. Clickbait = lying and having no respect for your viewers.

I'd love to learn more about pickups. A recent video talked about a pickup that had a screw pattern pickup or something like that, what is that? what does it look like? I'm not trying to get any industry secrets, but I'd love to hear about the stuff you're experts in.

Nice new studio, great lighting but I miss the classy vintage brick wall!!

Amazing pickups

Love it..

I love that Hinnant!

Hi! I'm Paolo from Italy. Gorgeous guitar, my favourite with Gibson les paul, sg and prs santana... only pity: 22 frets... with 24 would be more than perfect (forgive my english... io parlo italiano/je parle francais) thanks for your recensions!

neodymium pickups?

I have a soapbar P90 scenario (on 2 diff guitars) where they will work their way up while playing...the 2 height adj screws will end up touching the strings & the pickup itself will also be higher than what i set it to. Is this a foam vs screws thing? One is a Duncan and the others are on a Revstar std.
