I lost it with "Trixie McCorkendale." Gotta love Greg.

I Would like to meet Trixie Mccorgandale after her liquid lunch and explain the technique behind her PU windings! ..You're a Riot GreG!! haha Good seein you at the SamAsh Clinic Oct 12th. Also was lucky enough to be the proud winner of this Gristle Tone PU set for a Tele Build Project I have underway!

I installed a set of Gristle Master pickups in my Tele and I have never found any Tele that sounds like it yet, and I have 7 Telecasters. Absolutely 💯 % will buy more sets of them for my other one's and a couple sets for my Strats, I would also like to try the Lester pickup set also. I like that they are affordable and sound kickass. Thank you Greg for helping design them 🙏 👍 ❤️

oh yes I'm understanding only half of the discussion... but... I laughed so loud that everybody came together and asked... what's going on..!? and I told about the mistery moments of pick-up windings after lunch on Fridays afternoon... 🙄🤔 ... oh Greg Koch.... you are crazy.... I love it

Got some of these PUPs , they are truly FAB ... Thanks Greg !!

That bridge sound is pretty incredible. To have that much juice without noise is special. I want it! LOL

brother Greg makes everything sound Great!

I just got my new TE52 Harley Benton and I have been saving my new Greg Koch Fishman Pickup Set for this (had it on an American Tele and LOVED it!). Gotta try this. It cost me twice as much for the Gristle Tones than the guitar. Can't wait!!! I AM getting Greg's Signature Amp by mid Summer).

Sweet sounds.

8:28 wow, that is one of the funniest things I have ever heard

Fantastic pickups....every single one.... I have yet to see people combine sets though. i have a modern in the bridge and a classic in the neck and they blend so damn well. Ive never heard a guitar with such incredible cleans but still with the ability to bust out some just straight up disgusting heavy tones.

Looking forward to seeing Greg on May 17th at the Russo’s Music in Asbury Park NJ

The Greg Amp is on my radar and I will have one soon

Ahaha, Greg is one hillarious dude !

TONE WOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!

Just curious does the height of these pickups change the sound?

Please Demo the Fluence Strat Pickups! :>

The consistency and quiet is great and attractive but the nocaster is better in timbre

It's funny because players get so angry about the idea if wood and the type of construction overall can affect a guitar's tone, but obviously there is SOME influence on how it sounds aside for the pickups and the amp you play. You can have the EXACT same Telecaster or Stratocaster model, year, pickups output and wood and there will be slight differences. Perhaps not the defining reason, but there is something there. I'd wager more on my pickups and amp choice, no two guitars really sound exact, even if they are the exact model.

300 hrs of identical playback or does it change as the power is used over those 300 hrs?

roy buchanan yeah

Always had GAS for a nice Tele but players like Greg scare me !

must have ...

Would love to try them out, but €339. :(

The price isn't that bad when you consider that they come with a completely configured control panel that's comprised of high end parts. No cheap chinese stuff involved/

:o I never wear pajamas . :) especially when I put Greg on youtube. ;)

If you have reverse polarity on one of the pickups, and you have both pickups turned on, it's almost the same as having a humbucker with the coils very widely spaced --- [ * a humbucker is a twin coil pickup, one of them being reverse wound ].

Humbuckers are in series, polarity doesn't change the sound like that.

" [ * a humbucker is a twin coil pickup, one of them being REVERSE Wound ]. " So, are you saying that when you select the single-coil bridge & single-coil neck pickups (on a normal guitar) - they are in parallel? (or series?) As far as I remember (I may be wrong), when you reverse the polarity on one of two coils that are wound in the SAME direction they then have opposite magnetic fields. Please explain how opposite polarity changes the sound -- in clear and precise language.

I would have a Telly shape like this if it were a BASS GUITAR!!! I am BORED with the P-Bass

oh god, this old timer guy is so funny btw.

Thanks Thomann for sharing these great videos, Greg is a fantastic guitarist, he sure can make any guitar sound great. Only my opinion: this pickups suck big time, all the warmth, soul, character and tone is gone... this kind of active electronics give a HI-FI sound that we want to avoid when it comes to tone and musicality, but sure you can make it still sound great if you are a great musician, simple as that, and on top of that, way too expensive, with the same money you go and get for example a RON ELLIS SET and this video will sound like a joke !!!

TheCollisionofworlds well you're a sophisticated boy, eh? I actually am not crazy about the sound of those pickups either. This is the deal with them, which you can see Greg knows fully well: As long as you're not playing them back to back with the real thing, they'll work just fine. When put back to back with a good Tele, the weakness or lack of fidelity to the old ones shows thru.

Considering the 200+ variants that may or many not have an effect on the tone a guitar produces...It's effectively impossible to tell if these pickups have that sound or not. Also, go take 10 Ron Ellis sets of pickups and measure their resistance. I guarantee you that you'll get difference resistance values on each set. Since their resistance values are different, they'll all sound different, so you can't even pinpoint how the pickup is supposed to sound like apart from what the manufacturer tells you in the marketing material.

more of a nutella guy myself

... why don t throw away all the old stuff..!! .... in any guitar...... it sounds great....!! I can t hear those crazy hummings... anymore... 🙄🙄 but.... of course... not the mistery windings from Fridays Afternoon

I personally would NOT want a Telly sounding guitar = it's not my thing! but I am Fascinated by the Upgrade in Technology = Finally after 80yrs of the SAMEOL'BS we get something NEW = now if we could just get guitar companies to STOP doing the SAMEOL'BS with the guitar body's 1953 is DEAD - it's 2019 Please reincarnate Burney Rico'

sorry.... but .. the yellow ones sounds great... I think almost the best

I'm sure this flopped
