Playing my Kramer Barreta Special through some secret sauce that you'll see revealed in the video. Most were shocked, the searing tone, chunk, and sustain were insane. Has that huge EVH micropitch tone that's absolutely killer under the fingers. Hope you enjoy. Mistakes were free! lol

Tips for Fixing up old guitars: My Chibson Story
Where you bough a roller bridge?
Cant beat the vh rock for the money.
@vmathias2023 they're pretty good..how but just enough output to be dangerous without being crazy compressed. I like them.
Thou Good sir, have given me a light-bulb moment- & therefore i must need go have a serous ponderation! Me thinks i shall endeavor to clothe the face of mine own musical fire breather with a new covering!
@@JonRaffety 😁😁
@@JonRaffety it was easy and fun to do...reface an old boring amp cover. Glad you enjoyed.
very very nice..!.. thnxx
What exact model/brand of a roller bridge do you use?
@@2PunishAndEnslave Reverend guitars roller bridge
@@modscientist9793 is there only one rollerbridge model and this one fits? I have the airline silver version of the gretsch g5230t. Thanks again!
@@2PunishAndEnslave there's only one roller bridge on their site and it fits the 5230t. Id get the soft touch spring too. The stock spring is so stiff that there's no feel in the bar. If you get the spring just take out the washer that sits in the recess holding the spring, that's if you find the bar to sit too high which I did. Don't lose it i case you ever want to go bac. But i don't think you would want to and take feel out of the be. Have fun.
@@modscientist9793 great thanks for the great advice 👍
@@2PunishAndEnslave you're very welcome
Great demo, awesome playing! 🤠👍🏽👍🏽
@@mindieta thank you. I ended up putting another guitar together with the DG20. They're a fun set.
I just found another DG20 set on Craig's list. My 3rd set, now looking for another Stratocaster.😂👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
@@mindieta score!! Enjoy.
Sounds good. Have you done any upgrades to it? New Subscriber.
I have an all original 1984 Kramer Focus 3000, I think I’ll get this. The original pickups sound thin.
Great playing and demo. I’ve ordered an Olympic Pearl one. Are you a Lincoln Brewster fan or were you just drawn to the specs?
I'm a fan....he's a great player..unfortunately i had to sacrifice it to fight an eviction...I miss this one..oh well. Life. Enjoy it. It's an awesome guitar.
I’m sad to hear that. I like his playing a lot and have seen him live a few times and met him in person. Super cool dude. God Bless and I hope another one comes your way.
@@danielhanson6622 God bless you and yours as well. All good man. Blessed to be alive with a roof over my family's head. Thank you.
Hello again sir. I got the LB Strat and it is wow! The only issue I am having is neck gloss lacquer is a little sticky to my liking. Any remedies you would suggest for that?
@@danielhanson6622 3M green scrubbie Scothbrite pad. Will knock off the sheen and make more satin feeling. Gently and gery lightly to your liking.
Just ordered this set! getting it tomorrow!
You're going to love it!
How did it turn out?
Only o guitar with this?
If the wiring mod is done on an HSS strat, is it possible for one of the bridge only position to be for the Humbucker split coil, or reverse phase???
Should mate the ceramic bridge with alnico middle & neck...
Hello, mate. Is there any chance you post the link to the pieces you exchanged? Your video is amazing!
Yes the spring and roller bridge I purchased from Reverendguitars.com and the Vibramate string spoiler you can just get from Amazon, if you're interested in the Vmate. Hope it helps. Stay blessed.
Thank you so much! Is the roller bridge enough to stop the out of tune? Or do we have to use a vibramate as well?
@@OliverOliveira-wn3ld the vibramate is not necessary
Thank you so much!
@@OliverOliveira-wn3ld you're very welcome if you need anything else let me know
What capacitors are you using?
Hey thanks for asking..i think it was whatever was stock in this one. .047mfd possible..Apologies..it was a while ago.
Thanks for this video, I've been looking for something like this for two weeks. I wanted to hear if the EMG single coils could handle hair metal type distortion or if I should get the splittable EMGs (although I've been trying to break away from Humbuckers). Both the clean and driven sounds sound great!
That sound is incredible. I liked the sound of this pickup.
Hope the video captured the essence the pickups are really good for the money. I love mine.
Well-defined sound with great distortion. I want one.
They're definitely very decent..i really like them.
Thanks, you are right a guitar should sound great clean to begin with for singing open chords is the way to judge how a guitar sounds!
Is it possible to have neck+bridge with a mini toggle with this set of pickups?
@@modscientist9793 Yes, the only thing is that the board comes as it comes with the circuit printed.
Would have been better on a clean setting
Please tune your guitar ! Otherwise nice demo.
Hi. I bought a G5220 (still waiting for it to arrive) - its almost the same but without the bigsby. Do you have any idea which model is the bigsby on your guitar? I know its a stock one, but if I find the same bigsby, it will probably fit better. Thanks
Hey, how exactly would you go about adding a bypass to the amp section? I have a Line 6 pod pro.
@modscientist9793 no, the amps. Bypass the amps. I like the cabs, and I would like to capture them, but with the amps turned on, it would color the sound, so I would like to figure out how to add a bypass to the amp section so I can get a clean capture of the cabs.
I have the g50 and it really is a fantastic base amp with a great speaker and really loud. So you're saying I could take a screwdriver and pop out the speaker grill cough cover? Is it that easy. Cuz I'm going to try it when I get home because I really don't like the gray on there but the amp is just pure power you hook a few pedals up. And it's definitely loud enough for anything these days in opinion.
Yeah the grillel cover is just Velcroed in on its own separate framework. Baffle cover.
@@jimmyjames7946 it's pretty incredible that they can put something together that's so good at its price point. I love mine..great pedal platform too. Gamma got a winner with these 2. Super clean, loud, even the dirty channel sounds pretty darn good. Enjoy.
@@modscientist9793 agreed! I have bought and sold a lotta amps in the last 20 years .. the speaker alone is a beast. Definitely designed to handle any pedal you put in it. I use 2 overdrives at a time a lot and it takes it and sounds great. 200 dollars ?? Surprised they are not more known. They should make a2x12 with effects loop ,🤘
@@jimmyjames7946 an effects loop would've been nice. But yes..I've done the same, gone through many amps. I kept this, my peavey vypyr 75, Orange 35rt, and my Katana 50 mk2. The Gamma easily holds its own with these.
@@jimmyjames7946 you'd love the orange..has its own mojo for sure..i fell in love with it, sounds like nothing I own..the Katana is really good especially when paired with something like the KatAir pedal controller...but you're right the first Vypyr series was something in it's own right and worthy of a place in your home rig if you dig modeling amps..I just updated mine, I added a speaker out and an external fuse holder..it's not going anywhere. It's also another case where an effects loop and a more standard controller would've really opened up possibilities. But I like it alot nevertheless.
Can’t decide on the means or cleans, leaning cleans since it’s a baritone so I’m thinking it’ll clear up the mud
Cool playing , sir. Good tone. What amp you used ... ? Thanks
Excellent runs , sir. What about pinch harmonics ... ? Thanks
Love pinch harmonics too.
Cool Jolly Roger theme!
Hey thanks, i just dropped in a maple banana neck on it that not only looks killer but plays awesome!!!
@@modscientist9793 Sweet! Where did you get the neck? Musikraft?
@@CoffeeDrinker71 No, a buddy gave it to me, not sure where he got it from, but Musikraft makes a good product.
@@modscientist9793 Cool! Yep, they sure do. I have purchased a few different MK necks for my EVH inspired builds.
Nice review, those sound better than I thought they would. Please hang your flag properly. The stars always go on the left.
These pickups are pretty good for the money. Glad you enjoyed and thank you about the flag. I should've known that.
EMGS sound great !
Just did it on my son's RG and it works like a charm. Thanks for sharing.
I know this is 3yo, but you convinced me. I have a strat and could not get along with the Texas Specials.
What exact model are these? I was searching for VH59s but these don't look like them. Sound great though and lovey playing :)
@@modscientist9793 Thank you!
Also, back off a hair on the Bigsby mounting screws. To tight into the body, can actually put torque on the Bigsby frame and put a bind in the lever axle,. If you take the spring out of the lever and the handle feels stiff or sticky, the Bigsby frame has to much torque. Ease off on the mounting screws and the lever will move more freely. Compton or Tru-Arc bridges work great with Bigsby's, too. They come in Stainless, Brass, Copper, Aluminum and Titanium. No moving rattley adjustable saddles and the top is compensated to the string gauge you use when you order it. They love Bigsbys.
which one ceramic picups?
Are those Wilkinson Mseries pickups ?
I love my dg20’s! If you lower them, you’ll get more of a vintage tone. Raising them gave mine a P-90’ish tone. They’re probably the most versatile “sounding” pu’s I’ve got on any of my guitars (14…I’m a guitar whore). I have to remember to unplug it after I’ve finished playing it or it drains the battery.
Cant wait to get my guitar back with these. Its a 90s slammer by hamer. My original electric guitar. But I have to say your flag is backwards my man.
Im looking to get the neck and middle ones to pair with a duncan JB on the bridge
Amazon..you can buy them separately if I remember correctly.
@@modscientist9793 Yes! I already got them saved, thanks.
@@Skiddog. nice!!! A man that wastes no time, I like that! Let us know what you think.
Dont we all wish that,so many people sale theses thinga and they start from $16 + shipping to $100= GERMAN MADE,LOL THIS NEEDS OUT TO EVERYONE,LOL YA CAN ADAPT IT FOR YOUR PERSOMEL NEEDS,LOL
alnico all the way
with this mod on my schecter hellraiser, can i drop from d to C the 6 string without loosing tuning stability? because the D tuna its so expensive and some people says that doesnt work on a full float system (the EVH guitars are like a strat tremolo floyd, not a full floyd like hellraisers)
Little do the people in the background know how much riffage is going on !!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏
Lol, so true, my wife and the kids, all they can hear is the plinking of the dry strings on their end 🤣 they have NO idea.
Is this a Vintage strat?
Nope...just Squier strats.
The guitar with white pickguard has better tones
also before i saw people using the barrel door-locks
i really wish i saw this before i spent on the floyd rose part
When you say high model are they also referred to as Hot. Can seem to see them on site.
That guitar sounds great, you got some great chops, i love the James Bond licks. I still love that guitar, it's truly awesome, very unique.
Thanks Eric, all for the love of it my brother.
