Wow, your playing is brilliant, I wish I can play like that some day.
Keep at it!! You’ll be way better than me✌️❤️
Best way of telling, play a Tele without, and then with the ashtray, definite tone change. Mellower. ❤️
Nice ✌️❤️
Good Lord that playing!!! You Rock it Jon!! 🙏 🎼
Thank you Tim ✌️❤️
Even with the pole pieces at the same height, humbucker covers (at least those made out of metal) still alter the sound because it acts as a shield, and warm up the edges a bit. Some people love that sound better.. some people feel like it destroys the purity of the signal.. and some just don't care and will consider the look first.
True!
in my book your still the best guitar player on CZcams . . 👍
Awww Dave.. thank you kindly ✌️❤️
Love your playing!!! Great swing and phrasing!
Thank you ✌️❤️
Absolutely loved this video 👍 your guitar playing was so good 👍
Thank you Dave ✌️❤️
Beautiful playing as always Jon. You were ROCKIN' that Duesenberg! And yes, I've come to the same conclusion as you over the years about pickup covers.
Thank you Dennis✌️❤️
Thanks Jon. This (the part about the flying drinks) explains a bit about my Ibanez S-series standard... I managed to find one very inexpensively priced, and when it arrived it looked like it had been drenched in some sugary drink! (And that someone had done an amateurish fret levelling without a re-crown!) The clean up took a little while but it's (almost) fine now with the electronics replaced. The frets will need a proper pro job in the future. I just love how unpretentious that guitar is. If only it could tell its story!
lol....yea that would be great!!
Brilliant!
Thank you✌️❤️
Great rockin' intro Jon, and very informative discussion! I'm all in for pickup covers, as you say, 'they look good, and provide good protection'. If they do tend to roll off a bit of the high end then that's a bonus for me anyway.
Lol.. thanks Tony
Thanks for that John, informative as I’ve got several guitars with all styles of Hum buckers, I’ve often wondered about the cover itself and being able to adjust the pole piece with the cover on it. Now I know many thanks
Glad to be of help ✌️❤️
Since a kid guy's were always taking the covers off humbuckers on their Les Paul's
for more gain / sustain reasons.
Pedals efx and built in presence gain features today negates that so it's a personal preference players field.
Nice PRS picked-up a Custom 24 Floyd a year ago I'm still astonished at the
Build quality comfort ease - bang for your buck win!
Best !👍
Awesome ✌️❤️
Good stuff Jon...
Thanks ✌️❤️
Hey Jon Great performance, love the groove. I do agree with you about Pickup Covers. Cheers from Salem, Ohio US.
Thank you Rick ✌️❤️
Awesome I always liked the look of HSS with a chrome HB. I still may yet do one strat this way.
Cool ✌️❤️
Great video.
Thank you ✌️❤️
What a wonderful playing Jon, with or without covers you make those guitars sound at their best! It’s so good that you mentioned this topic because I always wanted to hear an opinion from an experienced musician. I remember an interview with Seymour Duncan or Paul Reed Smith where one of them favour no-covers. I have two guitars without covers, one is bright and the other mellow, same happens with my guitars with covers. At the end, your comments are spot on, the poles and pick-up height affects the sound and that should be part of the setup.
Thank you.. I’m still learning stuff🤣✌️❤️
Thanks!
Thank you Claude✌️❤️
👍🏼With! Unless it’s a super strat! ✌🏼
Agree ✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud 👍🏼❤️✌🏼
Shout Out Jon. SHARED OUT, SMASHED LIKES And With Respect Your Amazing Brother Thank You
Thank you Dan ✌️❤️
The one thing that puts my teeth on edge are bright harsh sounding pickups, plus open poles are prone to damage
and debri, and just look bad.
Thankfully the covers solve most of this unless the pickups are just bad ones, adjusting the poles will compensate
for the damping effect caused by the covers.
I always fit covers to any open pole humbuckers and some black or chrome surrounds, the white or cream ones
are not for me.
Each to their own, but for me covers are a must.
I hope you are now happy with yours Jonathan🙂
Oh yes I am Allan.. glad to learn something in the whole process✌️❤️
I like the covers especially on my favorite Humbucker set Gibson 490 and 498 set.

Without for me Jon.... God bless. 🙏💖
Cool ✌️❤️
It depends of pickup. If pickup is very bright cover can remove highs a little. In the end it's just matter of taste if player is using high quality covers, but of course there is still little effect. Cheap covers usually kills highs too much.
What do you think about what I said about the height of the pole pieces?✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud I think same way. When you raise pole pieces then you get more highs. Great way to get muddy neck pickup to sound better is lower the pickup and raise poles. I think pickup that use cover sounds little softer because that cover covers those non adjustable pickup pole pieces. Like strat usually has cover on pickups too but sounds very bright because pole pieces are visible.
great review Jon as usual! May I ask what made you buy this guitar? I remember you don't particularly like PRS.
Love it because of the way it sounds and plays.. well I used to hate eating vegetables and soup lol
For me, sound wise, I really don't "pickup" a big difference in tone. But I do prefer them for the aesthetic and protection.
Thanks for sharing ✌️❤️
covers are the way to go they do not change the sound the pole adj do i all ready went down that hole next time just ask me lol why do you think i doint play so good i spend all my time testing
Lol✌️❤️
Where did you buy those? Mine came with nickel covers but they were poorly fitted. Need a flush fit nickel for my 22 se custom
I had my luthier did it for me✌️❤️
Hi,have you tried the Tagima budget guitars?
No ✌️❤️
From one pickup to another it is hard to tell. From a physics perspective I think the covers serve to spread the magnetic field a little bit more, you're ears judge the rest. Most covers are magnetic anyway I believe.
Agree.. what you hear is most important ✌️❤️
Almost the same....not much...to me
✌️❤️
Thanks!
Thank you!
