Both sound great in clean to slight breakup. I like the Burtbucker pro a lot but they are higher output and have more tebble than a vintage PAF. In slightly higher gain, the antiquity can pick up a bit more bass than I typically like with a little bit of muddyness I don't prefer. I find the burstbucker pros to be very usable and will always have at least 1 les paul with them in. I do sometimes need to turn down the tremble on my amps. Also, my favorite les paul that has the BB Pro has a mahogony top which naturally mellows the tremble a little. I enjoy Antiquity but have had trouble getting the low end not to sound muddy. I like them and wouldn't be likely to switch them out, but would also not add them. When going for full vintage PAF custombuckers and Bloombuckers (From Tone Specific) are Fantastic but custombuckers are typically around $500 and bloombuckers start at $600.

amazing play! did tube JJ's 12ax7 & 6v6 better than stocks alot ?

Another fantastic video. I'm glad you're doing well, Thor.

Nice Sir😊❤

FYI this guitar has butterscotch finish, not lemon burst. I have this exact same guitar!!

that's a beautiful top! that guitar is a keeper!

Where is the princeton clone from ?? Sounds great!, and great playing too

Boss whats the model of your tele? Thanks🙏

This has me sooo confused. I just bought a fujigen made 1990 Greco EG-59-60 sunburst. The pickups inside of the 60s line are Fujigen Screamin’ pickups and they are ceramic and by far the brightest, glassy, piercing pickup I’ve ever heard.. it literally f’n screams. Maybe you have an EG-59-70 with the double trick alnico pickups.. go back and forth on whether I want to keep the Screamin pickups in this guitar but I don’t think I’ll ever fully get used to them because that bright sound isn’t a good pair with my jcm900.. my Gibson Les Paul studio 06 with 300k pots and a 498t seems to work so much better/much warmer. I wonder if I just have a bad apple because even throwing an alnico 2 magnet didn’t help the pickup get warmer… must be how it’s wound

inspiring tone...have a 335 and ODS 30 but havent found that yet.

Please please tell me what amp you're using in this

Warren Haynes play Burstbucker pickups and it's going very well.

Hey Thor - I love your Greco, because I’m playing a Epiphone with 57‘ Pickups. Great sounding are both guitars when you play with your Style😉🎸😎🎼

Amazing sounding!

Exquisite tones and playing... I love your rig! There is something to be said for 'simplicity' 😄 thank you for a nice sonic treat!

Hi Thor, both guitars sound great but for me the Greco is just sweeter. I have A2's in my Replica and I use the same kind of gain as you and they are just so much "easier" to play because I also find the A5 spike annoying. When I bend a note up to pitch they just sing sweetly. If I played heavier gain then it might be different because the A5's punch better in that setting. Great playing and feel as always my friend. Life got in the way but I'm back and playing again.

i think with you playing, any pickup will sound great lol

Hi Thor, great video! Indeed, that was the reason I swapped the BB Pro for the Seymour Duncan Antiquity. I use the pick and I am used to dig in so they weren´t for me. I am curios about the reasons why Gibson started having the BB Pro in the chambered Les Paul's, maybe they were targeting players within a specific genre? By the way, that Greco guitar of yours has a nice warm tone and sounds very musical, I like it a lot, again congrats for a beautiful guitar.

Greco all day long!

The epiphone sounds sharper and brighter to me. The Greco sounds warmer. Both sets are lovely sounding in your hands I must say.

Lovely chords/tone/touch!!!

What is the Intro Song? Any proposal how to learn these chord progressions. Sounds so nice

Maybe it's just because I'm more partial to Grecos, but I'm impressed every time you use it in a video. It (imho) seems to capture the essence of what you want in a Les Paul. Including the weight. I love Tokais as well, so it's not a surprise that their pickups sound really good in your Greco.

I totally get what you said about the careful playing with the high treble response. I have a les paul with some t-top style pups and it is very difficult to play clean with a pick. A bit more force on the first two strings and it's already ear-piercing. I'm gonna try some PAFs in this guitar soon, see how it changes things.

GA-5 very similar to the Champ, no?

Great playing singing

Burstbuckers seem to have what you would expect from a classic PAF tone. The Duncans almost sounded muffled in comparison. The lack of top end also is one of the reasons why they break up later than the burstbuckers. Roll off the tone on the BB's and you should have them more or less in the same ballpark. For the Duncans there is nothing to roll off. They already sound dark.

Thank you for taking the time to share this experiment, very interesting. Nice playing as well mate. 😊

Copying the look right down to the Analogman logo is going too far. That said, the sound seems in the ballpark. I got on the list around 2018 for thr real one but between the pandemic induced inflation and other life circumstances I decided the real KOT was no longer in the cards for me. I have a couple of clones. The one a friend built me was the best so far. He even got magic diodes and his build quality was better than any clone builder I've seen

Very nice video!

It's interesting you chose the Eminence cannabis rex for the ODS. Did you get inspired by anyone else or you just discovered it yourself first? I find this speaker is kind of Hi-Fi. It also has a lot of sensitivity so the amp sounds much louder than normal, right?

Excellent playing! Both pickups sound great. Pro's more focused, Antiquity more airy.

The lug you bent at the 2 minute mark is an anti-rotation "lug" basically when the pot is installed into a circuit board or panel there is a slot where the lug goes and will prevent the pot from rotating if it ever comes loose or someone puts too much force on the pot. Not really needed in a guitar application.

What impedance do you use on your Eminence speaker?

thank you so much for sharing

Compliments for your very tasteful phrasing and a great sense for tone. I've enjoyed your videos and subscribed to your channel. My question would be: how do you record your audio and do we hear a direct signal from your mic or is it altered in any way during the recording or in postproduction? Thanks and all the best! (Oh yes, I prefer Cannabis to Blue and Fender to Grand.)

I was inspired by this channel to try a Sweet Honey knock off (Sweet Baby) and I love it. It's almost always on, into a mostly clean amp, Interestingly I get almost identical sounds to the Sweet Honey Deluxe when I have a germanium Fuzz Face in front of it. I use the Fuzz Face as an overdrive instead of a full on fuzz, though the crazy is always there with the turn of the volume knob on the guitar should I desire it. That's the key to using a FF as an overdrive; you have to have the right volume pot on your guitar that gives you the slowest taper. The FF just dials in the hair and thickness. It's great for playing by yourself. As some dink pointed out in the comments already, the bass on the Deluxe comes before the saturation. To experiment I think I'll try boosting bass with an EQ into the Sweet Baby to see if it produces that same heft and hair. Thor, I think you and I have very similar taste. I LOVE your sounds, and your playing is exquisite. I want to play like that when I grow up. I'm 50. 😀

Great sound out of that broadcast pup

Each time you were looking more exited and inspired when playing the new Mullard . This tube is more clean and dynamic than the 50s one , which brakes more easily then is more muddy

Good job!

Google for some photos of PG performing and notice his pickup heights: he drops the bass side way down past the top edge of the pickup ring. It's how he gets that thing where it sounds like lower register just disappears.

I have a Stagg Les Paul, and its good enough for me. But two of the pots are a bit scratchy when I turn them, so I want to replace them

I have a switcher for OD pedals into FRONT of amp.. It has a secondary output..WHEN i use switcher for OD pedals, i send that SECONDARY output to the stereo input of DITTO looper which is LAST in line B4 amp fx rtn ( i use a passive lop in D style amp) Im sending a xtra DRY signal in PARALLEL with a TC HOF2 and a HALO..and its SO good, i cant do w/o it now..the DIFFERENCE is ASTOUNDING..Try n see!

The original pickups sounded much better

I will continue to buy counterfeit effects pedals from AliExpress as the genuine pedals cost well in excess of $550AUD each in Australia. I don’t know of many casual guitarists who can afford the highly inflated prices of the genuine pedals. Comparing my clones to my friends genuine items it is extremely hard to tell the difference if at all. Most clones are 1:1 copies of the genuine pedals. There are a lot of cork sniffers out there that will pay many hundreds of dollars for the original pedals just so they can show them off. More fool them. I don’t on sell any pedals so I won’t be scratching the names off my amazing sounding clone pedals. Boy you guitar playing grates on me ouch 😢.

I think that Gibson burstbuckers pickups are quite interesting the 61set is hotter output them the pros uh

Even a custom pickup maker told me to stay with stock Burstbucker Pros. He makes humbuckers and said there was no reason I should swap out Gibson's design.

It sounds amazing. I just purchased one, and I can’t wait to hopefully get a similar tone. Thank you for the video.

The Aer 4 is the best it is no comparison to the fishman in tone clarity and voicing. It's not three times the price for nothing

Old Mullard Blackburn 161, Phillips Herleen second. They Made some Foil Getter long plate Amperex in the late 50's that Are very good tubes also . RCA black plates are not bad either ! . Amps have a personality like people and the tubes that they like can be different. And it's a combination deal also between all of the elements. You have better equipment than most people today.
