They honestly look pretty shiny, not very brushed. You can just use a bit of scotch bright to dull chrome into a brushed nickel, spray a bit of wd-40 on the pad and rub it down. I learned this from some car guys.
You know.. it’s always fun to watch your videos. You bring an element of humor to them all. I like the the nickel look. Never really thought of it before. Thanks again.
Haha thank you Carl! I make a crap joke every five seconds “in real life.” You should see the clips that don’t make it. 🤣🤣🤣 Glad you like the nickel loom and thanks for watching.
Sorry but the wrap over does make a difference. It changes the angle of the strings going over the bridge thereby changing the resonance of the strings. I'll have to send you a picture of my 59 copy with gold tone pickups and Bigsby tail piece. Ya I said Bigsby. I know it's not traditional but I like it. Love the video, and the man bun. LOL!
That’s a lovely image, laughter over weekend morning coffee. You don’t wanna see me after a coffee though, i go off like a Catherine Wheel. 😂😂😂 Same after 5 pints to be honest. Lose lose. Yeah the hardware is awesome and they look after me.
Nice one Sped. It’s been fun watching you hot rod the Les Paul. Waiting for mine to get back from the fret job still. Next week I hope. Enjoy your weekend
Yes!! I’m excited for you! Not sure how much more she can take tbh. The only thing I might do is drop down to hybrids. But I’m playing it alright with the raised tail.
@@SpedSpedding I raised my tail when I first got mine but I couldn’t tell if I noticed much difference. I was afraid to wrap as well I didn’t want to scratch up the tail. You’re not the only stickler around here. 🤘
Your 'carefulness' astounds me. Gorgeous mod. Give 9.5s a go. There's no shame. I played 11s on a Tele for 10+ years. I put 9.5s on a Strat recently and raised the action a bit for zero buzz and ... wow.
Hahahaha, you’re the first one to comment on how careful I was. 😂😂😂 I’ve got a set of Primos in the draw. Might do a make shift hybrid set first whilst I’ve got low 10s on. See how I get on.
My experience with graph tech. Put their saddles on my strat. Acoustically it made it very dead. Crank it it up on the deluxe reverb it’s fine. I’d like to know what steel would sound like. I’m working on that. As far as the Ratio Tuners? You know how they say it’s never the tuners and always the nut? Well I’m here to tell you I’ve changed Klusons to Ratio on two Les Pauls in the last two months and they were literally ( I hate to use this term) a Game Changer. Saved both of these LPs. One more of my LPs have Klusons. They’re going. The othe 2 have Grovers and they’re fine. Graph Tech saved both of those guitars. LP Std and LP Traditional. I have Classic that I’m changing out just to get rid of the Klusons. Thanks Graph Tech!!
Interesting about the saddles; exactly which ones did you put on? What was the material etc. I’m sure they’d be able to help you. But yes, I agree. Since installing the Ratio Machine heads there have been zero tuning issues and the solidarity… it gives the guitar life. Do I need to change those to Nickel now? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@SpedSpedding They are those black oblong string saver ones. I bought them because on this older Mex Strat the screws were poking up 3 or 4 mm into my hand. I’ve got some shorter screw coming and maybe I’ll put em back to original. But like I say when I put the Deluxe up to about 4….. nothing can stop that thing. Thanks for the reply Sped. Btw I’m working with your 10 Years Gone video. Making great progress. Thanks for that!
What amp and fx do you have already? And with the other guitar choice, do you feel you are missing the LP sound from your collection? If so, go and find the one for you.
@@SpedSpedding amp and effects honestly none. Play through a lot of other people stuff but just have a super cheap amp at home. I want to get a line 6 multi effects but have enough to possibly get an amp or a les Paul (or es 335 cannot decide) that would give me a upgrade from my squire strat that’s good but it only give me so much. But I’m not sure what’s a good investment and not.
@@captain4420 The only advice I can offer is to tell you a story... When I was 19 years old I finally had enough money to buy a new acoustic guitar. My friend Pete and I headed North into Manchester with the intention of trying every guitar in town to see what I wanted to buy. First stop was a shop Sped knows well where I tried, and really liked, a black Ibanez Concord, which is a rip off of a Gibson Humming Bird. Not willing to give in immediately we headed into town and I tried all sorts. Martins I couldn't really afford and everything else on offer. Nothing else really grabbed me and I finally bought the Ibanez on our way home at the end of the day. It's sitting here right next to me 44 years later. Go out and try some guitars. Buy the one you like, not the one with the famous name on it or the biggest price tag. Ibanez is a big name now but in the UK in 1977 they were just another aspiring Gibson/Fender copy maker. For me it just happened to be the best guitar I played all day.
Squires are generally really well built, even just changing out the pickups, tuners and the internal components can transform what would be described as “budget” to “pro” in terms of tone anyway. Beyond that you’re talking about the materials and the name on the head. If you’re talking about a Line 6 Helix, they’re brilliant. Personally if I wanted to upgrade my setup from a Squire starter rig and I had the budget of a brand new Les Paul: I’d buy a top end Yamaha Revstar and get myself a nice low watt combo valve amp and some decent FX, overdrive, chorus, reverb and delay etc. Or I’d spend a bit more on the guitar and buy the Spark Amp by Positive Grid. Basically, don’t spend all your money on one. Balance it out across everything. Unless you’re loaded, then just buy everything you want and love it all. 😂❤️
@@SpedSpedding okay thank you. I think I can honestly consider this. I was actually looking at the line 6 POD. But I can definitely think about this, like I said I feel like my personal gear is just beginner level even though I’ve been playing for year. I do like my strat honestly like it’s not bad so maybe I will upgrade it.
I know you love those new pickups..... Think I might try Sunbear paf replicas... They look like they're made by a tone obsessive from Ormskirk!! Got good comments in GP review of modern PAFS....
Yeah I do love them and I love working with Tom. He’s awesome. You try whatever you like, let me know what you think. I have good friends up in Ormskirk.
Hey Sped! How ya hangin brother? Did you buy your Les Paul with the jumbo frets or did ya swap em out? I cant wait for my Series S 57 pick ups. Right now money is tight, so they will have to wait for a bit, but I am like a dog with a bone once I get an idea in my skull. New nut, new jumbo frets and new pickups. Jimmy would approve . Great to have you doing the upgrades to your LP as I am getting to mine in a few weeks. I will go back to your vid`s as reference points. A fool you are not.
Good thank you! You? I had it done in London. There’s a video around the time I got it done. I hope these videos give you a little insight. Can’t wait to hear what you think about the pickups!! 🙌🏻
Ahh...cool...I have a Pot metal tailpiece that's coated in base metal...it had that vintage, worn, corroded, pitted vibe in no time at all man...I was curios if the magnets affected the string/pickup response, so I decided to call my Nan but when I asked her what she thought about the reach-a-round she put the phone down on me????
I’m sure there will be an explanation as to why the line dropped. They’ve always been awesome when dealing with me. I would guess that the magnets make a minimal to no difference. They are strong enough to hold the pieces on but by no means super strong.
Nice jazzy bit of guitar playing there, but those grotty old knobs really stick out now. Next thing needed to improve your tone is a new pick! I found some carved out of stone at a craft fair recently. Look really cool and plenty of attack being completely rigid. Great for playing rock music, haha 😎
The knobs are beautiful! 🙌🏻 Appreciate the pick joke; almost as crap as one of mine. 🤣 I’ve actually got a bunch of hawk picks here. You ever tried them?
@@SpedSpedding Almost as beautiful as your man-bun. "That Kit bloke, such a wit! Pity only half of him gets out of bed in the morning". I had to google hawk picks which is a long way of answering your question 'No'. I've tried copying Brian May's use of a sixpence, an Australian 5C piece is almost the same size but I actually have real trouble holding onto a pick, even if I use Gorilla Snot, and tend to use thumb picks instead, which leads me to..... I really cannot understand hybrid picking. Segovia would never have done something so stupid, why play finger-picking style with your index finger and your thumb tied behind your back?? I might have to make one of my rare videos on that one.
Are you agree with I'm still following you on YT even if the strings are wrap around on the tail piece( because I'm a wrap around guy and I like the way it is ) of my Gibson guitars ( Yeah I have a few...) ?
Improving the look of your ax will improve your playing 7.4%. Not that you need improvement, but it comes automatically with the hardware upgrade so you can't go wrong. Cheers!
This figure is completely accurate. I measured my talent percentage before and after swapping and it had increased by exactly 7.4% as you mentioned. Gab tested it a second time a few hours later and she got the same reading.
@@SpedSpedding Do it man I've not looked back! I was worried I was going to break strings more often but the lighter gauge strings don't need to go so tight to reach the same pitch so have not had any problems with that at all. You'll have to adjust the internation for the new stings tho. I've found with the lighter strings I have more control over my bends and vibrato, its great :-)
@@grahamnash2741 totally agree. Half the thing with heavy gauge is image, swagger. Lifting heavy in the guitar gym. I don’t care, my hands aren’t strong and I want to have the most comfortable playing instruments I can. I’m doing down to 6’s. 😂😂😂🤌🏻
@@SpedSpedding I have small hands and a wonky finger so anything to make it easier is good. I think maybe heavy strings are good for drop tuning for metal and such but for regular tuning or even E flat I am very much liking lighter. BTW have cracked Stairway man thank you :-) have practice it every day lol :-)
aha....so what "we"really learned, is that you look whats in the box, after you opened it....:-) good.. on another note, now you've got brand spanking NEW bridge and tail all shine just above your old knobs...!!!!?? i told you faber does a lovely "aged" look with their bridges and tails......mine are anyways....Good tone though...next string change i'll go back to "normal" string through tail again...but not because you did...!!..:-)
Yeah you have; I've seen them and they do look really cool. Remind me of the Murphy Lab stuff, aged off the bat. I really do like the String Saver saddles though and they guys over at Graph Tech have always been ace. Can't tell you the last time I broke a string, I don't think I ever have in all the years I've had that previous bridge installed.
Hey Sped! I always go with nickel over chrome when the opportunity is there to choose too, especially if the chrome of cheaper types ( I own a few Harleys as well and I only use billet aluminum on that as well over ‘chrome’ ). Sometimes chrome will have a tendency to chip or flake as well in time where I find nickel does less often.

Honestly though…. I think if you played a cigar box guitar you’d manage to make that sound good too buddy! 🤙
Check you out on the Harley’s, you’ll have to lend me one when I’m next in town! 😂🙌🏻 Just had a look, they’re cool yeah. But you’re right, they’re a little too far away form standard for an LP for me. Be nice to see them on a modern build. Tunomatic anyway.
They honestly look pretty shiny, not very brushed. You can just use a bit of scotch bright to dull chrome into a brushed nickel, spray a bit of wd-40 on the pad and rub it down. I learned this from some car guys.
