What! Ok ok. A Floyd for a LP Custom!? Man. We take so much for granted now, don't we? And the way he customized this guitar. Carving into it like that! Guys would never do that now. I'd be afraid the antenna wouldn't work, but that's obviously not the case. What an interesting interview that was. I really enjoyed that.
Yeah but it's a hell of a job trying to route out the back of the body to fit a Floyd Rose bridge it's not really that hard to do but you do have to know what you are doing.
Srv had countless necks and mods done, Angus young also had a huge hole for wireless, etc. These idiots that think tone wood and vintage is a thing, just don't get it. It's about the pick up and the person. Brad can get this sound from anything. Angus had played 60s sgs and brand new, Srv had countless strats and parts.
Just an observation.. This has to be the third World Class Guitar Player I've seen stringing his guitar by hand..(Chris Holmes, Mick Mars, and now Brad..) Don't they use String winders?
The PJ Marx has a plastic casing like an EMG. Probably thick too, so sanding it down I think allowed him to get it closer to the strings for more output and it would be more like a regular plastic bobbin pickup without a cover.
I started playing back in the 80's so I guess that makes me old like Brad is now. LoL I don't remember any string winders back then. First one I picked up was probably very late 80's to maybe early 90's and I was like WHAT A GREAT FREAKING IDEA! Made putting new strings on so much easier. Now everyone has one.
@@Texman4268 I know that of course he is, Brad Gillis, Brad could smoke either one of those guys on guitar, I still think he looks a lot like Sammy Hagar though. I wouldn't doubt if Brad could smoke Satriani, but I wouldn't doubt that one bit.
Traded a Les Paul Custom for a Floyd Rose trem kit. Best trade Brad Gillis ever did. Got him his famous trem trill recognition. 😆🎸🤘🏼👍🏻
Hes still rocking that thing ! The mojo it must have ....
Back then no harm chopping em up, but now, woah! Great story

Same here, I gladly enjoyed watching this & everything he shared.

Does anyone know what in God's name, he's talking about filing the top of the plastic pickup for added top end crunch,how does that help??????

No string winders in the 80s??? 😁

You sure this isn't Sammy Hagar looks a lot like him somewhat looks something like James hetfield also when he was younger.
😅😅no, Brad Gillis is a better player than Sammy and Hetfield put together 😂
