I bought a set of "Brandonwound" pickups for my guitar tech in Atlanta for his Gibson Firebyrd a few yrs ago and he LOVED them. Very tricky pickups to work with ...
For anybody who doesn't know Jared Brandon used to have his own pickup making company called brandonwound pickups... he sold it to his understudy Zach but he made great stuff so this was a good move to get him for Gibson
Excellent comparison I just got my Greenybuckers installed today in my Epi Lazarus what a fantastic sound . i really like the underwound sounds of the 57 and the p 90 thanks gibson happy holidays and happy new year
And they sound way closer to an actual late 50s PAF than either the 57 classics Bursrbuckers and even the Custmmbuckerrs as great as they sound are less PAF like compared to the Greeny Buckers .
Is Jarod Brandon the originator of BRANDONWOUND pu's? Those old Brandonwound P.A.F pickups are killer! They used to sell on ebay for under $150 a set and were just insanely good!
I bought a set of Brandonwound 59s from the new owner. Ordered zebra with covers on. He sent black . The pole pieces spun freely in the breeze. When I contacted him ( Oswald ) he first said that you never knew what you'd recieve in the 50s . Could be white or black... lame. I mentioned the loose pole piece screws and he offered to do something for me. I was impatient and used them anyway. I dripped a little wax on the thread at the plate and made do with it. It's pretty sad that a boutique paf builder would send out something you didn't order with defects. I seriously would have ordered more sets... It's a shame.
Hello 👋 How would the new Gibson P-90 DC pickup sound in the bridge position with the factory Gibson P-100 neck pickup in my 1998 Gibson Les Paul Special P-100?
I had an AlNiCo 4 magnet laying around and it made the Dirty Fingers + I pulled out of my V sound crazy musical for a hot wind. Perfectly balanced EQ. I might try a unoriented A5 I have somewhere if I can find it.
I continue any difference on the 57 classics. I've been going back and forth trying to compare bridge to bridge and neck to neck. Maybe its different when your in their studio.
The only thing obvious is the Gibson money grab. Every few years they magically figured out how to nail the PAF tone, or get closer to it. Just stop. There is no single PAF tone. People need to stop buying into the BS

Do these pickups use the Gibson quick connect? Or did they do away with that?

Do you get hum from them,or microphonic noise ?
Those Greeny buckers sound killer man..

yep, Jared Brandon is the one!
Thank you so much for doing videos on pickups!!! Pretty cool, hopefully more to come
Will there be an Epiphone Greeny?

I have learned,through buying a PRS guitar,that less windings on a pickup allow more and sweeter tone.
Awesome comparison! We need more of this in the pickup world.
Greenie!

Okay, all very nice, but where can we get a Pickup Shop T-shirt?
Ha i was just gonna say their tshirts are some of the best of the guitar companies… wearing mine right now haha.
When sampling pick ups, I would prefer a clean tone. It’s easier to determine the difference.
How would the Dirty Fingers + Compare to the SM ?
Jared!!!
Great. Now can we hear the actual pickups instead of all that gain?
Replace the ceramic magnet in the Dirty fingers with an Alnico 5 and thank me later

The underworld humbuckers sound a bit like Epihpone classics. Without the muddiness. Prefer the Regular Gibson sound.
I continue any difference on the 57 classics. I've been going back and forth trying to compare bridge to bridge and neck to neck. Maybe its different when your in their studio.
They didn't have a clip of the undrewound 57 in the bridge for some reason.
@@adamwatson6916 I have a 2017 classic lp with the 57 plus . I guess they are wound a little more ? Hmmm.
Not sure how Glenn Fricker is going to feel about this one
😂
We're here to please, Glenn. 🙂
