I enjoyed your discussion very much...very happy to subscribe! I never considered matching the string type to the magnet type...very good advice, thank you!
Sounds Great Jon!!
I have found that setting the string height at the 17th fret on Fender style guitars works better, for me. I set the string height and the 12th fret for Gibson style guitars. I also have a shim in my neck pocket, (cardboard beer/soda box). 2mm is too high for me on the high E, but it's perfect for the low E. I do 1.75mm on the high E, (thickness of a quarter). 2mm is the thickness of a nickel, as a feeler gauge, it works like a charm.
Excellent video. Thanks for taking the time.
Thanks for another informative video.
THANKS, TGL!
Hi, I'm restoring a 1969 Gibson T Top H B , so I just watched your screw comparison alloy video. Since you're into subtle differences I thought I'd pass this on.... If there are two of the same H B p ups in parallel , there is a difference in tone if the two slug/screw coil junctions are connected to each other vs not connected. If you do the math, capacitance, inductance and DC ohms are the same. But in the real world the two parallel coils in series w the two other parallel coils sounds clearer than the two coils in series in parallel w the other two series coils.
I enjoyed your video, but want to ask you about the pickup heights you gave: would that be open strings or compressed at the last fret? I am using a MIM Fender player Tele with Fender Custom Shop 51 p'ups (wired in the traditional Nocaster way) and my strings are Infeld Superalloy IN 109, that's .009 - .042. What do you think?
Jon’s Tele pickups are stellar! I have a Squier “Pine body” Tele from 2-3 years ago. Great sounding guitar just as is, but being a guitar player I couldn’t leave well enough alone. I was looking for a sound/tone like my friends Albert Lee and James Burton & these nailed it!
Why not put in a 4-way switch Jon…?
Good idea for a future video!
Jon is the best. I have 2sets of his pickups and they are as good as PAF and I have both
I just got the same guitar i was'nt to keen on the toploaded setup 10s felt like 8's so strung through the body 10.5 - 48 and sounds and plays amazing. I am also interested in the gibson jimmy page sound i know he used A2 neck and A5 bridge so was wondering which is the better set the SLE-101 plus set or the DT-102 set
The bridge pickup on my Telecaster died ..? New pickup and control plate on order. Noticed the neck pick up has 3 wires. Blk, Wht & Blu. Is the blue another ground?
Where’s the ground?!
No ground needed to bridge??
For a vintage style Tele bridge the ground is established through the bridge pickup height adjustment screws that contact both the bridge plate and the bridge pickup elevator plate. The bridge pickup elevator plate is grounded which in turn grounds the bridge through the pickup height adjustment screws.
