Love EMGs. Got a set of SA's in a 70s strat and T-52s in a warmoth tele. Very versatile pickups, especially if you add in some of the EMG active tone controls. They respond really well to effects. Also noticed a increase in sustain and clarity especially up the neck, no string pull.
Great playing as usual, it is interesting to read comments and critics about sound, everyone will hear a different sound depending on how they are receiveing it, be it speakers or headphones and the quality of same. I just enjoy your playing and reviews.
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Yeah really i'm kinda blown away by how good it is. Its not quite as good as my Japanese guitars but its not far behind and a whole lot cheaper !!
Larry Carlton, Robben Ford and Eric Johnson are known for their awesome tone....Jonathan Koh should be among them!!!....if i could get a tone like that i would never stop playing my guitar....incredible!!!!
I like it, of course I'm a beginner guitarist, but I like it. I do have a telecaster (thinline copy), and this guitar sounds like a strat/tele hybrid to me.
Jon have you ever played any of the older 70's - 80's Ovation solid body guitars? You are at the age that you would have likely seen these, not to mention your connections and contacts. I have an Ovation Preacher Deluxe 1283 with a preamp and mini humbuckers that requires 2 - 9 volt batteries. I don't see many videos using these interesting guitars. This was my first guitar as a youngster and it is still mint and really rocks. There are 2 internal tiny pots that control the output for the neck pup and one to level the bridge with the neck. It can be made to break up wildly, or be very tame.
nice tele love your playing im building a custom tele with emg t system pups babicz full contact tele bridge and its a custom burled maple top tele body and maple neck cant wait to get it done you have inspired me.
Considering building something similar. I have EMGs on my LP and based on what I’ve heard and on a few other videos the tele sounds so much better. Tim if you can provide an update on your build.
Great demo sounds great. Jon are you able to share how your SPC was wired. I am doing the same as you two pickups. EMG three way selector switch and a SPC for both pickups.
Hello Jonathan I spent the day watching your videos it’s great what you do you are a real musician and you explain super well the things I don’t speak English I understand well what you hope I wanted to ask you one thing I have too ordered a pickups set EMG FOR MA TELECASTER esce-that we need to shield the body cavities with copper with this set of pickups? THANK YOU in advance for your reply and again congratulations for the videos you share with us I wish you a good evening and good continuation clear and understandable goods hello from france
@@JonIsJustTooLoud hello Jonathan thank you very much for your answer I had a doubt because it is the first time that I will mount EMG pickups ON ONE OF MY GUITARS escusez me of the inconvenience again thank you for your answer good evening good continuation
@@JonIsJustTooLoudwhat do you mean by subtle? I am trying to decide between the T set or Tex set… I have the t set in my baritone tele and considering the tx to have a different tone but they’re more expensive C and apparently not better
Hey Jonathan, whats about a presentation by the Harley Benton HB-35 for example..? maybe its interesting for you too..? Happy Weekend :-) and a very nice Beginning by talking my Language :-D
It depends.. The squire Tele that I got was really well made and plays great. You can't really say which is better these days as guitars in general are really well made in Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand and China. HB guitars are definitely cheaper if you were to compare prices. Try to borrow a HB and try for yourself. 🤓✌️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Haha, you know I'm just joking of course, my apology to your beautiful princess. Your playing is amazing thanks for the great videos. I'm either getting the TC set or the TCX set with that SPC. I did find the EMG Sound Samples page, took a little digging, thanks for the info my friend \m/ \m/
Danke schön :-) I have a similar circuit from Artec which allows to control with the poti the range of the amplified mid frequencies. That works very well (turns e.g. a humbucker sound into a single coil sound and vice versa) but finally I removed it due to the increased hiss. I might try it again one day with some better shielding. See here: www.artecsound.com/pickups/electronics/bcu.html
There is smoke coming out of your head. Lol. Seriously though. If you process the daylights out of anything, you can get a similar sound. But if it works, it works I guess.
Not sure I get your intent. This has a great classic overdriven rock 'n roll tone. Why should you take issue with how it's achieved? Am I missing the point?

Gutes Deutsch, mir geht's gut, hoffe Dir auch. Great Guitar, I love teles. Your playing is very melodic, enjoyed it a lot 🎸💯🤘🏻
Danke Herr Lorenz 🤓✌️
Your playing is out of this world! Wow!
Thank you brother!

Yep.. I love them✌️❤️
I'm envouted by your groove ! It's a real pleasure to listeling you jonathan !
Thank you for your kind encouragement :)
The SPC knob adds a nice grit that makes the EMGs sound like a really nice set of hot passives.
Yep!✌💙

Thank you dear brother ✌️🤓
I bought a secondhand Squier vintage modified strat really cheap like 180 euro. I was blown away by how good it was. Its become of my favourites !!
Another example of how cheap guitars can be great guitars 🤓✌️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Yeah really i'm kinda blown away by how good it is. Its not quite as good as my Japanese guitars but its not far behind and a whole lot cheaper !!
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Or another example of how expensive USA guitars are !

Thank you for your kind comments Larry.. Much Appreciated ✌️🤓
Some interesting mods turned this Squire tele from beginner to pro guitar nicely. Good tone from that SPC pot, made a big difference!
Oh yea..that SPC is a wonderful addition!🤓✌
Very cool. I love EMG's in teles. The cleans tones are absolutely gorgeous.
✌️🤓
This is a very good demo! Was looking into the differences of SPC, great video for that!
Glad it was helpful!✌🤓
I like it, of course I'm a beginner guitarist, but I like it. I do have a telecaster (thinline copy), and this guitar sounds like a strat/tele hybrid to me.
Yep...with the SPC engaged, it sounds totally unlike a Tele 🤓✌
Saw this post on Insta, Jon, and really enjoyed the clip - had to head on over for the whole show 🙂👍
lol!!! I saw your comment in Insta, Hope you enjoyed the video :)
Great video, thanks! Your guitar looks and sounds great. I like your playing too.
Thank you kindly!
Yet another nice affordable guitar. You can help me buy all my new guitars. You do all the work finding the quality deals so we don't have to.
hahahha🤓✌

You should!✌💙
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Vielen Dank fuer das sehr informative video.:)
That was a killer tone. Very gilmourish which is my love
You never cease to amazing me.
Incredible every time.

Thank you Phil ✌️🤓
Hallo und schöne Grüße aus Deutschland. It's a beautiful sounding guitar 👍👍👍
Vielen Dank. Grüße aus Singapur! :)
Hi Jon - just came across this video - awesome tones! Where did you put the battery?
In the pot compartment ✌💙
Great demo sounds great. Jon are you able to share how your SPC was wired. I am doing the same as you two pickups. EMG three way selector switch and a SPC for both pickups.
I have no idea..Wayne my luthier did it for me...But I believe it came with schematics for it✌💚
good video Jonathan. very good played. I like the sound of that elecaster.Your Germen is better than mine i come from Denmark Neighbor to Germany lol
lol!!! no way!! 😂✌

Das klang bereits sehr gut, nur weiter so! (:
Ich danke dir sehr. Ich werde mich das nächste Mal mehr anstrengen!! 🤓✌️
Nice Vid AND GUITAR Jon! Where is the Battery Compartment? Please keep up the Good Work my Brother! Have a Great Day man!!
No battery compartment.. The battery is situated inside the volume/tone recess..🤓✌️
Nice video! On a telecaster, you recommend installing emg X or emg T? What are the differences?
The Ts I find them more subtle✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoudwhat do you mean by subtle? I am trying to decide between the T set or Tex set… I have the t set in my baritone tele and considering the tx to have a different tone but they’re more expensive C and apparently not better
@@HappyChillmore subtle = less output. Get the ones you like
Hey Jonathan, whats about a presentation by the Harley Benton HB-35 for example..? maybe its interesting for you too..? Happy Weekend :-) and a very nice Beginning by talking my Language :-D
Sure when I get my hands on one of these!!! I hope I didn't do too badly in my German...😬✌
@@JonIsJustTooLoud you did very well Jo! :-)
@@Lutzilla_ Danke! :)
Smokin playing!
Thank you Jason 🤓✌️
EMG's Rule! my squire is the envy of all my friends who have more expensive guitars with standard pickups. lol
✌💜
GENAU
Danke ✌💛
Will this set fit in a Squire telecaster affinity series ? They sound great & your playing is outstanding.
Yes it should ✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Thank you Sir.
If you have the copper shielding already installed will this effect the EMG's or will it have to be removed ? Thanks.
Thank U very much!
hallo Jonathan!
es geht mir gut danke, - Dein Deutsch kommt ja richtig gut rüber ggg have a bice Day
Ich danke dir sehr. du bist so nett🤓✌️

How does the playability compare to classic vibe
Cant tell you ...as I have not tried a Classic Vibe Tele yet...
I have two cv strats which are great but I love my VM strat more. It plays superb ☺
@@malcolmhardwick4258 awesome!!! :)
How do I fit a neck pickup in a mounting ring?
Neck pickup is too big. I filed the wood down to fit. But does not fit in a mounting ring
You will need a luthier to help you chance. I don’t know how to help you✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud yikes. i got the quick connect solder free to not need a luthier. false advertising on EMGs part
@@chancejames8110 lol...no..nothing to do with EMG. You probably need some woodwork done and I cant help...
@@JonIsJustTooLoud how did you get the neck pickup to fit in the pick guard?
@@chancejames8110 you would have to file around
Nisssssssce 🎸
Are these good for metal ?:o
nope!
Tortoise shell on Butterscotch? Man that is ugly. Sounds good though. I'm not sure if I should go TX or TCX I cant find any TCX samples.
Thank you for insulting my Tele.. she’s still crying... in any case, there are samples in EMG website
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Haha, you know I'm just joking of course, my apology to your beautiful princess. Your playing is amazing thanks for the great videos.
