The improvement is insane pal and it looks so so so good with the silver pickup covers

Mod sounds fuller, warmer, yet with more bite.

Stock doesnt sound to bad, maybe a little sharp at first strike, the mods keep that first strike from overpowering.

That sounded so good and from what I could hear a massive improvement. Well done on getting a relatively cheap guitar sound like more expensive one 🤘

✨OMG! I just brought this guitar an I want to mod it ALL chrome too so glad to see this possible 🙏🏾 I don't know if I'm confident enough to do it myself but thanks for the sick video!

Amusing that you do the same as me and test a new pickup in a micro amp first! Great video, I have the same guitar and I’m planning on doing similar, though I’m not going to bother changing the neck pickup, I don’t use it. 🤘🏻

I actually just bought this exact guitar 🔥🔥🤘🏼🎸

Awesome comparison video Brother. I love how you played pretty much exactly the same licks for both stock and upgraded and no backing track. Thank you for this. I don’t kno too much about bare knuckle p/u’s are they hard wired? I’m an ESP guy myself. I would love to find a vid with this guitar with EMG’s . Even tho I have the Schecter Demon 7 which, I’m really interested in this Jackson js22 -7. I already own the js22-6 (withDiMarzio super dist) and js32, (EMG81/85) which I love. Oh can you tell me exactly what tuners you put on there? Again, awesome vid and thank you.

Hi Henry, appreciate the comment thank you! The JS22 - 7 is a great base of a guitar to modify and play with, EMGs would be a great addition im sure. Bareknuckle are a great pickup company too and yeah according to their website they hand wire all there pickups. The tuners are called Hipshot Locking tuners that I got on eBay, hope that helps and thanks again.

Nice video !!! Huge difference at clean , but on metal I like more the jacks .... Anyways , I ve ordered this guitar now, I had the 32 and I sold it , and since I miss her so much this is redemption😂. Maybe I would change the bridge with seymour duncan distortion ,but not sure yet how it sounds on my new processor configuration! Cheers everybody

Wow great mod! Are the pickup rings the original? I wonder if the BK pickups fit the original hole or if you had to grind it?

I plan on doing the same but I want to get the 2017 model that comes with a maple fretboard and basswood body. I do prefer a satin finish and dark fretboard but I think the basswood body would make it sound better than the poplar body but idk for sure. I would replace the nut, tuners, bridge, pickups, and pots.

I think that might be what I have. It's the JS22-7 DKA-M Special Edition. Has basswood body, maple neck with black piranha inlays. Pickups are... Meh. I'll put something in it at some point. Got it for $149. I'll probably do hipshot tuning machines as well. May do the hipshot bridge too. Might as well do CTS pots too.

Did you need to modify the pickup rings or cavity to accept covered humbuckers? Just ordered BKP for this same model. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

Hey Vincent, I had to sand the pick up rings very slightly to increase the width but not too much. Cheers!

The brute forces in the bridge, whilst distorted didn't do anything for the guitar. The Jackson stock sounded better

Very nice video. Maybe I'll buy one but not sure yet

Stocks sound warmer and smoother to my ears.. i think turn up the treble on tone knob on the overdrive pedal and you'll get the tone a lot closer

The clarity of all the notes playing at once must be hard for your brain to decipher compared to the mushy sounds the first pickups had

Good video, I stay with stock pickups, to me the sound of stock pickups I like more. Greetings

nice tunner… prefer jackson pickup…

to me it sounded just a tab bit clearer. idk maybe I'm not that used to high end guitars but its up to the player who plays.

yeah!

Do you recall exactly which Graptec nut you bought? The only one I can find is a Tusq that specifically says for a Schecter. Is this the same one you used? Also, which specific hipshot tuner model did you go with? Thank you for your time and excellent video.

No they can not. It’s sad to hear people speak with such confidence on topics they clearly have no real life experience in. If you have never heard both sets on the same guitar your opinion is invalid. There is no piece of gear in the world that will make your pickups clearer and more high definition. Put good in get good out. The stock pickups work fine, however they will never stand a chance against bare knuckles. Unless the listener does not have a refined ear LMAO

low strings sounds much better

Could've sounded better. I think mix/amp setting probably could be better

Pickups are a WASTE of money, unless you're looking for a specific sound!!!!....Trust me.......as the stock pickups are actually Very decent on this guitar!(even a 5 second Reddit search will tell you this)......the stock pickups are Bottom heavy, like Korn or Slayer type stuff....so if you're looking for more Mid/High range stuff, then you'll probably want something different.....But keep in mind there's actually 3 DIFFERENT pickup styles for the JS-7 series!!!!......But tuners are the Real weak point on this guitar, but for $200 it's an absolute steal.

How would you say the Jackson plays as a guitar? The upgrades will come with time but I’m looking at a similar model to get started with. I miss having a 7 string!
