I love Montys. Matt is a super nice guy and they did a brilliant job on my strat.
I bought a set of the Retrowind for my tele thinline and a wiring loom. Personal help from Matt on how to put it all together! Brilliant pickups and customer service. Iâll be back! Still chuckle when I see my name on the box as Lord Faulkner so I tell my husband he therefore has to be Lady!đ
Haha I'm sure he'd make a fine Lady
Matt is such a great guy, he fitted some PAF's (creams) and 50's wiring in my Les Paul a couple of months ago, he was very helpful and made sure i was able to get my guitar done during the lockdown. Thanks Matt. Great interview chaps.
Love Montyâs. Matt is a brilliantly knowledgeable guy, friendly and open. I canât say enough good things about them and will certainly continue to use them. Thanks for the insight and all the great work.
The hardest thing with changing pick-ups is that every company seems to insist on having a different colour wiring. Of even worse, the same colour wires meaning different things.
Great interview guys! Matt's the man. Love his pickups... Big love Matt! đđđ
Looking forward to watching this later, Iâm hoping to work with these guys on some future projects! đ
Fantastic interview. I'm blown away by Matt's knowledge and expertise. Definitely going to look at getting some Monty pickups in the near future
Iâve tried a lot of the leading PAF replicas in my Reissue Les Pauls and Mattâs pickups are amongst the best out there. But the buying experience... especially the packaging with a little personalised message inside... it just makes you feel all warm and âfunnyâ inside. đ Heâs really found a way to make buying something that shouldnât on the face of it be exciting or âsexyâ (at least not compared to buying a guitar itself) a huge amount of fun. Thanks Matt, and thanks Captain Lee and Pete for bringing us this interview. đ
I dropped some Monty's DP tele pickups into my 50's roadworn tele. Oh lordy what a result. Awesome tones!
At long, long last I understand what's going on in HB, SC and P90s! Thanks for this, and all it took was about 1:00 at around 30' into the vid. One of the most informative vids from Andertons, thank you.
That was an awesome show. Very informative on types of pups. Thanks!
Great interview; very interesting.
Re pickup swaps and blind faith on what they sound like. Is there an Anderton's vid opportunity there? Take a low/mid guitar (classic vibe strat, tele, epi lp; maybe a series of vids), put your top 3 or 4 selling pickup upgrades into it, shoot the difference. Edit back to back, keeping all other variables the same (amp, pedals, strings, cables). You've provided buyers with that missing reference resource, at least for some of the bigger selling guitars/pups.
It's a lot of faffing (physical and editing), and maybe it doesn't warrant the likely views, but you are ideally placed to demystify the sound options. Rabea did similar on his strat tone journey. The A/B comparison were sometimes subtle but were audible.
Thats hell to do, until you are Keith Merrow hard to play the same thing exactly after pickup swap.
@Womp Womp are you aware, that we are talking guitar pickups swaping?
@Womp Womp hahaha, it happen even to the best of us ;). Cheers bro.
Setting up the guitar with a solderless solution (terminal block/screw terminal/Euroblock style) for the pickup connections could really cut down on the time and effort!
Awesome video, thanks Pete, Lee, and Matt.
Heyy I've met him at the guitar expo. Hugely appreciated his advice, taught me how to set up my SG
Why not doing a "The captain meets Alex Hutchings".
He's one of my fav. CZcams guitarists. He's currently struggling with some injury ... could need a cheer up!
Anyway, great series! Thanks a lot for sharing.
That 5 munutes near the end where i finally understood the difference between pick up construction is exactly why I endure Petes purile inuendos... because there is alway pure gold in Andertons videos somewhere... also maybe explains why I thought the standard purple Squier strat sounded way better to me on the bridge pu in the other video...maybe because I like that P90 tone... đ
Awesome! I definitely learned a few things about PU's I didn't know before, I guess Lee did too :) Cheers, guys!
This explains why a "split-coil" humbucker never really sounds like a single coil pickup! Super interesting!
That blue-roll holder on screen left is class.
This was great learned something about pickups I did not know đ
very informative and interesting. thank you.
Just placed an order for a 68 Telecaster Pickup set + a loom & bolt - looking forward to it
What a brilliant video, most informative.
Pete and the Captain do the full Monty!... we knew it would happen sooner or later.
This dude makes the best sounding pickups I have ever heard. One day I will own some. One day...
Pete's Tele always stands out, hats off to Monty for creating such incredible pickups.. i'm sure Pete will be creating the DP69 version soon, just because..
To be fair I believe the original pickups in Peteâs Tele were made by Fender and what Monty has done is inspect them and replicate them for the DP51 set.
Watching Matt change Pick Ups reminds me, I once asked an Apprentice who was with me to bring me the Solder Sucker......he brought me some Solder..
Found this very interesting, thanks đđ»
Are we just gonna ignore that absolutely brilliant home-made winder? That's some Tony Stark level shit.
so great to see you work your magic. nothing nicer than witnessing a real master of the craft at work. there was a bit of a difference IN MY HUMBLE OPINION but is that difference 14,975 pounds? i think not. plus the psychology of knowing that you're holding/playing an authentic pre-cbs 1963 strat vs. a super cheap encore strat plays into it if course. You make a great case for your lovely pickups and wiring looms, mate! THANK YOU.
Cool! I just installed a set of their pickups in my 339 a few weeks ago!
On the recommendation of Tim Pierceâs channel, by the way.
Iâm gonna order a set of the Pete pick ups for my Tele!
I love how Pete and Lee just seem like good friends
That is right, magnets in pickups are not the same all. Magnet is like soul of the pickup, a heart. I have done magnet swaps to my pickups (for fun) and can say that, don't swap magnets to your pickups, pickup own original magnet is better because it has that character that, your magnet doesn't have.
Anderton's and Monty's ...Two great tastes, that taste great together...
Nice to see Matty on ATV
Interesting comment about stainless steel frets from Swedish Pete, there. Never heard that before. I'm sure there's some sort of Voodoo involved in making pickups, though. Probably something in the name 'Matt' as there's another great pickup maker by that name who owns House of Tone pickups.
Bill Steer of Carcass has his own set, fantastic sound
31:18 There is noise on both coils, but they are out of phase. When itâs flipped back, the noise cancels itself out and is gone. If you split the coil with a switch that noise comes back. I think I have it right. đ€
Matt is a legendary awesome dude!
Who else wants to see a set of TPS Dan Steinhardt Red Tele pickups????
I think they would sell a zillion of them....
Or even to copy his ânewâ vintage blonde Tele. You could do at least a couple of different DS Tele sets.
WOW, Captain, that was really interesting, Can those pickups be bought here in Auckland NZ
Rumour had it he sold his soul to creatie those PAFs. They are magic!
Great stuff guys , greetings from Serbia . Can you please tell me will it make difference , to change that low budget pots and five way switch from that purple Strat , and do the video again , with some better one . All the best for all good people !
How about offering a preloaded pick guard with upgraded pots and switch? I'd buy that.
After trading a nice Washburn PXL200 that I never used, for a 2020 Vintage Icon V6 Distressed, its my new #1! I'm obsessed with them now. I know they have a US Custom Shop, but the designs and relicing is done by a UK company? How about a video with Vintage. These guitar's, I'm so impressed. My wife told me for my birthday, I could finally get a tele and pick whatever I wanted. I played player series telecaster and was so disappointed. My wife saw the Vintage V75 25th anniversary in silverburst and she said you've always wanted silverburst, get this.... it will be here Monday! I love her, lol. She also found me my 2002 Fender Jagstang đđđđđđđđđ
Had a mini heart attack when the captain let go of the guitar at 0:59
@@CZcamsHandlesAreMoronic lmao yeah he kinda looked focused on making sure that strat does not drop neck first into the pavement xD
I love these videos
Very cool
You guys should do a kit guitar with Monty pick ups
Petes face at 18:29 when the captain mentions "pawn shop"
Anyone tried his firebird pickups, the bridge in particular ?
Everything contributes to the sound of your guitar , the wood any plastic used metal , strings , and pickups which are basically microphones
His instrument food is GREAT!
And the winner is: the Boss Katana to make those pickups shine đ
Thanks for the spag bol recipe
Am I the only one who doesn't get the rollercoaster reference?
me too
Took my 98 Taylor 814c to Montyâs for a set up and itâs never played better.
They sure have the vintage sweetness
Ooo. Anyone like to sample the Captain's special spag bol with his secret sauce?
No. Just you.
Educational. But what about MFD pickups? đ
Interesting... Squier single-coils are like P90 pickups. Nice!
Sounds like it was a Twisted Tele bridge/Nocaster neck and they just switched the positions on the spec sheet by accident.
Pete loves to "smack the front end" @14:47
Filmed before or during the Covid19 pandemic?
Most of my students' guitars cost less than a set of Monty's pups. One day a lad with a good Epi LP came in and I was tuning it up, and suddenly looked up said "Pickups!?". And he'd had a set of Monty's...
Nice to feature a small business, especially during these tough times. Good on you.
I wish slot-in instant change pickups were the standard. Actually maybe not. itâll give me reason to buy a plethora of pickups!
I donât know who else tried it but Gibson certainly tried to move the industry that way with their use of quick connect wiring. But, typically us guitarists largely went âewwww!! Itâs not like they were originally madeâ and didnât take to it. Just like we did the PCB wiring Gibson also tried to introduce (thereâs nothing intrinsically lower quality or worse about PCBs either... in fact they are usually more consistent and reliable).
For those interested in humbucker pickups swapping in LesPaul guitars, I suggest videos from the channel âVisual Guyâ on CZcams. Good number of pickups comparisons.
What did he mean by Rollercoaster guy?
@@glennlilley8608 gotcha
Thank you! When the captain said a roller coaster like âwhat you would call them in America,â I thought, âwe call them roller coasters!â Thanks for clearing it up!
The Full Monty's
25:44 Captain, the word you're looking for is modicum
This sent me back to Paul McCaffrey's channel (ex Chandler's man) to re-watch all his Monty's vids.
You guys should try and get Cam Cole down for an interview. He is a one-man band style act from London and plays heavy blues/rock/slide influenced stuff. He uses a beaten up old acoustic guitar with a humbucker fitted into the soundhole of his acoustic and has unique heavily distorted acoustic slide tones. If that's not cool enough he also plays a drum kit with his feet. I feel like you guys would love him and his approach to tone as it's something I have never head before.
czcams.com/video/YJ9E8EgNGps/video.html
He's got a great guitar sound and his drums fit in but his vocal sound is a bit on the painful side
Do you know if he does any of his songs without vocals... I could easily play that four or five times in a row
Humbuckers are so much more clever than I thought
Warwick Avenue? 34:08
Matt seems like a really cool guy - great interview. Pickups matter a lot, but they seem like such a mystery. Magnets and wires, basically, just like a guitar is wood, metal, and plastic. But I've played enough bad pickups to understand that it's not easy to make a great one.
If Matt shaved his head, he would look exactly like theneedledrop
He really really would
You mean...like a melon?
I get that a lot..
Do a captain meets Barrie Cadogan from Little Barrie
been toying with the idea of buying Monty's PAF's for my Gibson Les Paul Classic Custom for a while only thing that's stopping me is the guitar would no longer be original but as I have no intentions to sell it I suppose that doesn't matter.
@John Smith yeah that's what I've done with my Jackson just seems like the 57 classics would go to waste sat in a case.
Tonerider do Alnico 8 humbuckers
Knew theyd get side tracked as soon as sphegetti came up
After all these years, I'm shocked you knew so little about pickups!!! Great video though!!!
Gave these guys my tele i bought from andertons for a 5 way switch and set up, came back dirtier than it went it and missing screws. Cheers
JJ Johnson they told me somebody else worked on it, Matt took it when i brought it back to be cleaned
So my FSR MIM strat has P90s sss. Sweet hahahah
I'm stuck trying to decipher the roller coaster pickups.
Big dipper J m sig
terrytickler Thanks! I was also stuck figuring that out.
@@Messier31NGC224 no probs your very welcome
14:47 we all know why they had to cut there...right Pete?
33:52
14:50 Wish you didnât edit that out!
Hendrix with a soldering iron
Great PU's do really for the most part inspire you to play better.
BIG BUT except for the difference in a total different design ...a humbucker vs Strat vs Tele vs P90 in the context of a band and everything band is involved in the difference to the listener between one of the 'same kind' of PU's vs another of the same type is from minimal to realistically totally imperceivable. In the proverbial bedroom listening experience you will hear a difference. Keep in mind that the materials used in a PU from one respectable brand to the other are virtually the same. If one were to claim that that their for example Korean brand name PU was at least as good as PU that cost literally 10 times as much they would be right.
experience
Who made an inappropriate comment at 15mins that needed to be cut? Lol
Cage on the floor for naughty pups
Interesting guy. I wish the Captain would prepare more. The rambling often eats too much into his interviews.
Never heard of him
...'modicum' ...just sayin' ;)
