Thank you for talking to me like an adult. No silly faces or wacky voices. Subscribed. 👍

Club Soda He means TH-camr that do ridiculous stuff for attention: silly faces in thumbnails and putting on fake personalities.
It’s whatever to me. But it absolutely is ridiculous.

Indeed, some presenters' of guitar channels on YT would suit
Barnum & Bailey's or The Wiggles better, farcical spasmodic bodily gyrations idiotic leering grimaces stupid sound-FX & puerile ridiculousness is de-rigeur for some guitar channels (whyTF?). Dylan's no-bs no-carrying-on like a drunk 14yr old & sensible sound & sane attitude is what guitar channels NEED as well as accurate helpful information. Freaky faces & daft voices are not why I am {we are, educated guess says I speak for the majority, surely?) here.
Primal screeching & grotesque gurning does zero to help this guitarosaurus upon his guitarcheology odyssey of 42 of my 51yrs above-ground (so-far).
David & Syro obviously know what I mean? Terreberry... snort... don't make me projectile blast my coffee a'la-firehose-style out my flaring nostrils all over the joint like a mad woman's sh*t!.. (nearly trashed my keyboard with nostril-coffee inundation...! 'strewth! that was close, man!).
Great work Dylan, you know a Schaller from a Grover from a Gotoh, a LTD from an AIO from a G&L, one end of a fretboard from the other so subbed for these reasons & like Syro said your no-nonsense d*ckhead-free zone.
Just added a Squier J.Mascic Sig Jazzmaster to my guitarsenal, it plays just gr8, stays tuned even after punishing the trem-bar too - recommended.
Great vid Dylan, thanks for this & all the others I'm surely going to binge-watch real soon.
Cheers, peace, far far too much guitar is grossly insufficient, woefully inadequate, nowhere near enough & be nice to ya missus!

What is Jell-o and how did it get in his pickup?
You should definitely continue this with other pickup types
In the 12 years I've been playing guitar I think this is the first time I see someone who actually knows his shit... There is still hope!
You say that like you think 12 yrs is a long time.
Ian Bunyan longer than some, shorter than others. The thing is after more than a decade of pseudoscience finally I came across someone who doesn’t talk “mojo”, “voodoo” or whatever.
@@williambhurt I was a choirboy and learnt music theory 1963-67. Started playing guitar 1966. (Age12).
@@williambhurt There was absolutely no intended criticism in my comment, you infered it.
@@williambhurt Thanks for that. I need to learn that irony doesn't come over well on TH-cam comments.
Your graphics are just about perfect to describe and illustrate the differences of design and the magnetic field.
Thanks, great content Sir.
Another great video. Loved the illustrations. Thanks for sharing.
I KNEW there was a shin bone in my tele! Very cool though!
@BLOGAN BURGESS th-cam.com/video/OWr8pdcNN9M/w-d-xo.html Humans don't have 'love bones', except for John Lennon and Jim Carrey of course. th-cam.com/video/M0Gz5zbGONk/w-d-xo.html
Hey, they had to reinforce the neck somehow before the truss rod was invented. Only long, mostly straight bones are useful that way. :)
My bone nuts are made from the shin bone of Vietnamese water buffaloes...
Very interesting mate. Those visuals were very useful.
I super dig the graphics you put into this video! Always love how much information are in your videos!
Great video! Glad someone on TH-cam is taking a scientific approach to understanding how tone works.
Just stumbled upon your channel and I’m hooked. I’ve been learning s lot. Thanks!
As always thank you for an explanation of something I wondered about but never saw explained anywhere else.
Show us a Jaguar pickup, dude!
I second that!
I would like a tear down as well bc I know it’s just an improved strat pickup but I’m not sure how.
Yeah do that !
You popped up in my recommended for the first time. Excellent stuff, man!
Great explanation and vid. I'm gonna add a metal base plate to all my guitar's pups and to everything else in life, to change its tone and while I'm there, an extra ground.
Boy its a good thing your able to hold your hands steady. Lol.
Great job on the illustrations and explanations.
Excellent explanation. The little magnetic field drawing made it crystal clear for me to understand. Thanks!
Great information, never would have guessed that and it does make sense! You mentioned “grounding”, what are your views on using either “conductive paint” or “copper tape” inside the body cavity and around the pickup cavity’s like a Faraday cage to reduce “noise” from single coil pickups?
I always wondered. You are an excellent teacher Dylan ~ always clear, always direct. Also, the graphic was a great help and a nice touch! Thank you.
I've been playing electric guitar for 47 years now. Thank you for explaining the difference in the pickups which I never understood. Excellent. I subscribed to your channel and find it a valuable resource.
I appreciate your approach to explaining the differences and debunking myths.
Had no idea this is why they sound different,interesting. Great video
Very informative - thanks Dylan!
Love it!!!
I hope you make more videos like this one👌
Brilliantly explained and ... love the magnetic field visualizations! Cheers
Good, simple accurate explanation, straight to the point. I've never thought about what the different steelplate design did, awesome! (y)
Actually I've been wondering for a long time why teles seem to be the only guitars that have that particular tone. I guess they don't often put those pickup baseplates in other types of guitars. All this time I thought it was primarily the telecaster saddles that did it but then you get teles with regular saddles and they still sound like that.
Great video! Thank you Dylan.
Thanks again Dylan. Very informative!
You’re videos are the best. I’ve learned so much from your channel.
Great 👍🏻 job explaining & using visualization ❗️
I learned something. Thanks for this lesson.
Great explanation! Great graphic add for the magnetic fields.... Thanks!
I appreciate your ability to explain these simple physical concepts, Dylan. It's important to de-mystify these things, as the internet (aka "teh internetz") in so full of anecdotal conjecture. I'd like you to do one of these to help people understand how the Telecaster bridge cover acts in conjunction with the baseplate to further focus the magnetic field, and similarly the metal covers on a Precision and Jazz Bass. I feel that these are an integral part of the sound design of these instruments, and yet so many players remove them, and then search for "better" pickups - not realizing they have actually removed a design component of the pickup itself. Thanks.
This is quality!! Subscribed!
Part of a Strat sound also comes from the bridge springs. You haven’t heard a Strat until you’ve heard it with a Tele bridge pickup, it takes a Strat to another level. The Lowell George mod.
I’ve always found the neck pup of a Tele to be pretty lifeless... that was until I put the Strat neck pup in.
Was gonna say, the only thing better than a strat with a telebridge pickup is a tele with a strat neck pickup
@ mutate, evolve, thrive. Building a Stratele hybrid right now...
Great choice! I go back and forth between humbuckers, single coils and P90’s. IMHO the closest to a P90 is a start single coil as humbuckers just don’t sing like single coils. My Strat I swear is 1 in a million. I’ve had every awesome Strat bridge pickup in the bridge position and I still never liked the tone. I had a PAF in the bridge at one point but is was that humbucker sound...l until I upgraded my Tele with rails and put the Tele pup in the Strat tat I finally found “the sound”.
Keith Alan: I probably bet that you need to practice more and mod less.
It would make a difference if the strat was a hard tail setup. That would probably get you closer to the tele sound.
Thanks Dylan, I like your direct to the point commentary.
Great info thanks my friend!!
Once again very informative!
Thanks for all your efforts!!
Despite all the negativity,..you get the info out!!...👍🏾I for one enjoy your uploads so keep ‘em coming!!...✌🏾✨🎶🎸
I have always wondered about this, thanks
first time viewer. this video alone has me subscribing. thanks, man.
Thanks man, really clear and useful!
Very interesting. Thank you for that video!
The "shape" of the magnetic field also defines, what part (or lets say how much) of the strings can induce current into the coil. (Which of course is among other reasons, why mini humbuckers sound different to regular humbuckers even if all the other specs were the same.)
Really cool video. Had no clue about bass plates at all. They way you laid it out was nice too. It's apparent you have a true understanding of what you're talking about. New sub
@Project Scoop 601 🤦♂️ it was a joke but thanks
Nice video man. I'd always wondered this myself. Subscribed!
Very informative video!
Useful info. Thanks for the post.
Great explanation, I recently bought a Tele pickup and installed in a Squier '51 and was wondering how the brass baseplate made this pickup sound so different.
Great information. Thanks.
Man, you always make very interesting video...
One year and one day to the day...great explanation. As always...you're the man. Thank you.
For the record.... I said "shin bone" right at the same moment you did!!! Good explanation, I actually didn't know this and thought you were going to talk about numbers of winds, magnet directions, coil wire thickness, etc., was much simpler and much cooler than I anticipated!!!
I found it very informative. Excellent. I ve had tele and strats for decades and did not know.
How interesting, to learn that a pickup's sound is determined by more than magnets and windings.
The baseplate effectively becomes part of the magnet, so this is still a case of the magnet affecting the sound. Your old view is still right, if you think about it that way.
@@mal2ksc I think of the baseplate more as reshaping the field of the magnets since it has no magnetic properties of its own, but I agree that it could be thought of in the way you describe.
@@johnnybgoode1950 the baseplate affords not only electromagnetic field shaping (if right materials) but a larger surface area and more solid coupling with the body of the guitar. Everything, even if your eye cannot detects it, moves in this assembly, so the transmission of physical vibrations through the medium can also effect field by flexing that plate further in the already dynamic relationship the string/pickup loop is. This is how you get character and unique tone signatures from instruments - the latency in the loop between the strings that you've fretted and the bridge/nut is different than the latency of those same vibrations being radiated and applied to the pickup joint, which is electronically coupled - still mechanical, but of a decidedly different nature and usually attached to amplification systems so when those vibrations come from the cabinets themselves, they also enter the guitar as it is now a receiver in the external vibration coupling model. We can also talk about reverse headstocks too if you like...
when you've got tones with natural variations in frequency hitting each other at different times you can get an a mazing array of sonic behavior out of an instrument, especially if it's got sustain from hell and your finger tone is "good enough".
@@russellzauner I would imagine the added weight of the steel baseplate is also a factor in mechanical loop behavior.
Very informative. Thank you.
Thanks for the info man
Sound Data Visualization?! Man, you rock! \m/ thanks for this!
Thanks for the info!! Is there a way to wind telecaster pickups so they are LESS Twangy?
I like that overlay insertion you did of the flux line fields images from that other site. Couple of notes: thickness of that plate is important, 1/8th inch seems to be the best balance, thinner doesn't do much, 3/16th can work (rummage through your junk drawer/bin! I've found a house electrical octagon box cover cut to the shape works great.). The steel plate needs to be in contact or close contact to the magnet rods. A steel plate added to a Strat pickup can do the same thing too. Twang in a Tele comes from picking between the bridge and saddles, the Strat can twang too if picked there but people run into the volume knob and the strap pins set the body back to the right more and so people strum closer to the middle and neck pickups.
Lol 1/8 is waaaaay too thick.
Ha! Subscribed before your schpeil!
Really great information! Learned a couple tidbits.
Confirmed what this dummy should have known long ago.
I bought a Epiphone Les Paul (20 years ago) and had the store drop Gibson Burstbuckers in it.
It was never quite what I expected. I checked all the spec's, and finally said, "it is what it is".
A couple days ago a thought popped into my head, 'I wonder what string height spec's are.
So, I looked them up. Yep, the bridge was at 3/16 (supposed to be 1/16)...and what difference it makes!
Wow man the graphic that you used on the video, really helps me to have a better understanding of this difference.
Do you have another video like that showing the magnetic field on humbuckers?
Very interesting!
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, finally an answer and clearly understandable!!
Interesting stuff. Thanks!
Thanks! It’s tough to find reliable tech information. A lot of guitar enthusiasts are keen to believe any and all myths.
Very nice. Thanks!
Hi Dylan, nice video, thanks, Does the unique ‘ash-tray’ bridge on a telecaster, along with the ‘through body’ strings not affect the tone of the bridge pick-up?
What volume and tone pot should I put into my squire classic vibe mustang? It’s needs some more warmth and I was wondering if I could better showcase the potential of the stock pickups. I love the guitar and want to keep it as stock as possible sound wise. Thank you very much for the videos and any light you may be able to shed.
Brilliant video 🤘
So how does a original toaster pickup function then in relation to a Tele pickup where the toaster pickup has a horse shoe magnet and the Tele has magnetic pole pieces in them?
Killing great show thank you for educating me about humbuckers I do have one question Squier classic vibe humbuckers wide-range are they the same as in the mim telecaster
Great explaination!!
Dylan, I am drawn to your straight forward attitude. I also enjoy the fact that you do not A-B testing. There are so many variables that affect those types of tests. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Ah, the torus/hyperbaloid of magnetism! The upper part of the torus gets widened.
Thanks!
Thanks!’ Fascinating video.
Thank you! Directly to the point. I have a Telecaster, with the baseplate in all copper. Does it make any difference to the metal baseplate?
Great video!
I think it's worth mentioning that the material of the baseplate does make a difference in inductance and therefore the resulting sound. The same principle is exploited in humbuckers by swapping the baseplates (usually between nickel silver and brass) to shape the frequency response. Even though the original Tele baseplates were steel experimenting is certainly worth it for the tinkerers out there.
I watched this again today. I'm finding that another time around allows me to see more comments. Here's mine: I like the white board but the blue graphic was great!!
You've addressed this several times and each time you are clear and understandable. Thank you!!!
Great vid! After 45+ years playing, I finally know the reason!
👍👍discovering your Channel, GREAT video!!! When will you tell us about same subject but... with neck PU????
I'm new to your channel. Great content. How does alignment between pickup poles and strings afect the sound and the tone?
Fender says the '51 Nocaster bridge pickup has a tin-plated copper baseplate.
Informative. thank you
Great video. Thank you.
Well that's very interesting info Dylan ! Thanks very much :)
What I would like is a comparison of the Strat and Tele Neck pickups. They sound very different too. The neck is where I seem to play the most.
Bottom line is Change the magnet field or change the magnetic properties or change anything to do the magnetic structure of a pickup and you change the sound of the pickup. Dylan done a good job on explaing it.
Real useful information in a TH-cam guitar video?
Subscribed.
hey dude, I've been wodering what differences the polepiece shape/materials have on the sound and why? Can you predict a sort of ballpark sound by just seeing the pup? THanks for the vids, learning loads!
What happens if you ad baseplates to neck and middle strat pickups? What effect?
Hi,
Thanks for the info!
Can you, please, explain why single coils generate (pick) 50/60 cycles hum. Every one knows this, but none is willing to provide a physical explanation to this. It's often being said, that pickup picks the humm of the wall voltage and from other stuff, but what if you'll play way otside your home? Where there is no near lines of 110/220 AC lines except the one that runs to the amp... will a pickup also pick an ac humm in this situation?
Thanks,
Vadim
The AC oscillates at some 50 Hz. The pickups’ coils react to electrical and magnetic fields which are plenty on stage because of the electromagnetic fields produced by the loudspeakers‘ coils. So the hum should be louder near a speaker. The ashtray on a Teli or the metal bridge above a Jazz Bass Pickup were connected to ground so as to shield the pickups from the oscillating field and detour it to ground. A simple and imperfect kind of a Faraday Cage.
Hi. I'm interested in those Guyatone 'Gold Foil' pickups, the Ry Cooder ones. I hear they use rubberized magnets, like fridge magnets? I've seen a video of someone rewinding a different kind of Gold Foil pickup, but I wonder if the sound has to do with the magnets being flat or because they're rubber or perhaps weaker? Any thoughts? Thanks
Well what I thought was mostly wrong... nice clarification. Thank you!
Can confirm baseplates on Strat pickups get close to the tele sound. It’s like a 50/50 mix of Strat/Tele.
Hey man love your posts. Question. Is it simple to bound a tele base plate to Strat pickup
Super interesting video!
Hi Dylan I have a question about my Strat pickups. I picked up a set of Custom Shop 69 from Fender and the poles are staggered because I guess they want to keep that vintage vibe. Should I leave them the way they are, staggered, or arrange them low and even and slightly curved along the bridge radius?
Love it. Wish you gave us a sound test though.
