I'm probably going to get some butthurt replies on this one... This video did a fantastic job of showing casing one thing, once you add any form of distortion, and especially in a mix, your pickups do next to nothing to change your tone at all. If you're watching this video, unless you bought a low end guitar with some real dollar bin pickups in it, they're probably fine. Stop blowing money on set after set of pickups when you can get a set of speakers for your cabinet at the same price, or a new mic, and it will change your tone infinitely more than any set of pickups. I've been playing guitar for over 20 years, thrash, metalcore, deathcore, deathmetal, hardcore, punk you name it. So it's not a matter of "if you're a new player you can't tell the difference" it's literally that there barely is one. Please if you're a new guitar player stop worrying about your pickups. Guitar players hear with their eyes and they see a brand new shiny pair of pickups, or a new amp 4000 dollar amp head that sounds like all the other amp heads because with very few exceptions, they're all modeled after each other, and they see all that expensive gear and they SEE how good it sounds, not bothering to use their ears. The speakers are the one piece of gear you can't see that ACTUALLY change your tone, they are the literal filter that projects whatever you're playing from your guitar, to your ear holes. Invest in some V30's, some greenbacks, whatever speaker fits your tastes. It'll make wayyyy more of a difference.
Awesome Review dude, Iv been looking for a weeks for a thru neck that's built good that I can slap some fisherman fluance micks into :) I think this is it
2:39 🥺
But that’s not a dive bomb that’s a reverse dive bomb
Every guitar I look at I might potentially get. Someone bought it for their wife 😅
2nd jackson guitar if this model both whammys failed. same issue whammys loose, parts falling off, the same issues in both guitars came directly from the factory too...i love the guitar but wtf same problems
Remember to unplug 💀
SD Nazghul and Sentient are my favorite combo I also like teh Fishman Fluence Modern I LOATHE the EMG 81's I have a Schecter Hellraiser FR and it came with EMGs and I swapped them out for the Fishman's... so much better My Blackjack came with Fullshred and Jb. While I really like them, I swapped out for the Nazghul and Sentient... they are the same tones just MORE
Cool mod. Btw, change "you're" to "your".
Can you add a tremolo to a flying v like Lonny mack had ?
From a fellow welder, keep up the great work with your channel and your craftsmanship! I’ve got guitar dreams too but for now it’s just about paying the bills lol
My brotha you know the work we do isn’t easy but the biggest regret will be not chasing our actual dream. Thank you man means a lot and I hope your dreams come true hard work will pay off!
@@jakethefate amen to that bro 🤙🏻
Dude!!!! That was so cool! For your next video can you make a Frankenstrat telecaster? Please?
I will try and get to it asap my brother!! Any colors in specific or the og Stripes ? Because Iv got like 3 with the og stripes
How much were the individually? My kid has a Austin Strat copy and he PUPs suck. All SC and very bright and thin. Noise. He loves metal and A7X so I was gonna get him HBs and seen invader style PUPs in preloaded pickguards and was gonnaget them for his BDay to upgrade the PUs. We have good amps and pedals, and I once got my older boy a preloaded PG from Amazon for like 25 bucks and they sounded really balanced and great overall so I figure I would do he same. I'd rather get them in a pewired PG, but I can't find any videos of those specifically. These sound great thru whatever your playing thru, so I'm sure they would be suitable.
Freaking badass bro nice job next the lighted Ace pickup
What model is that sweet Jackson in the intro Jake? 🤘😎🤘
This is gonna be my next guitar and I'm pretty excited
Bro! 😆
What a cool freaking mod!!! Thanks, Jake.
AWESOME VIDEO!!! Thank you so much for doing this with all the details. I'm DEFINITELY going to do this mod on at least one of my guitars. Probably my 80s Ibanez! My drummer will hate this! Lol...
There really isn't any other way to do it, seeing as they don't know the configuration of your guit-box. (H, HH, HHS, SSS, etc. ; the controls ; series/parallel and so on). The good part is, once you have it soldered up, then the pickups can be swapped out with the 3.5mm plug. I swapped the bridge pickup in my BC Rich Warlock with a Crunchy PAT and it sounds awesome now. 2 years later and just ordered a Crunchy Rail to try it. Can't wait for it to arrive. ☆ 2013 Warlock 1, Caline Overdrive/Distortion pedal, Boss Katana 50 mk2
Try having this happen but you are using 24volts 😂
I just found the channel today. Great content! My Floyd string change method is way different than everyone else but it's easy. I make sure the bridge is level. Then block the Floyd from inside the cavity on both sides of the block using shims I 3d printed. Re-check the bridge to make sure nothing moved. I now treat it like a standard string change. After the strings are stretched and tuned I lock the nut down. I then remove the shims, plug it into a tuner and adjust the claw screws until its back in tune. I can do a full string change in about 15 minutes.
a frankenstein V?
This is my first time hearing it but I could tell the difference immediately the gates strings actually sounds a bit smoother on the high and low temp I actually like it more sounds really smooth
awesome playing man that was sweeeet
wonder which of all this little Demons will have the best Tone for my scary sinister Funeral Doommetal compositions ??
Great video, convinced me to buy the guitar! I also bought a Seymour Duncan Nazgul bridge pickup and was going swap it by using the white connector and the little prong connectors. I've never done this before and it looks like the Nazgul has a red, white, green, and black wire. Which would I connect to the prongs to go into the connector? Any advice you could give me would be welcome. Thanks!
That is like the lowest tear Jackson I like my x series much more
Oriented
Everything said is the opposite for me cause I only need one guitar to live and I understand people wouldn’t like me explaining stuff their not interested in but got the fact that I looked around for a bit and take one pack of strings back thats very true sometimes I live my strings on for weeks at a time like a month or two!
Im only sharing so much cause I like sharing things for no reason sometimes I guess dopamine release lol
i recently got a synyster gates signature and im so scared to tune and change stings . thanks!
The first pickup I ever installed was a Screamin Demon. I initially wired it out of phase, which actually sounds pretty cool with that pickup. Then I fixed my error, and I loved that pickup ever since.
holy shit this video is 15 minutes too long
OK it's not just me....
A Jackson V Franky?? Dude my mind is blown, nice job!
Sorry if he said it in the video and I didn't hear it, but what's he running his sound through? If it's digital or a modeler it's probably the reason for such little differences in pickups. I have both and all my different pickups sound mostly the same through my digital setup, but through a tube or solid state amp with some 4x12's you can really hear a difference. It's part of the reason some people like digital so much, it's easier to get a usable sound out of any guitar with because it makes most guitars sound the same, and obviously it's much lighter and smaller. All kickass pickups man thanks for the video 🙂
Amazing musician
Are you able to take out the screws and invert the tone volume and pick up switch selection? I would hate for my hand to keep running into the volume no.
I've seen the PT Monster used for 275 euros... I've always wanted a PT, this seems a nice chance. Thanks for the video Jake :)
OMG - That guitar !!!! Wow. So cool. Good vid, Jake. But the guitar build... holy cow ! Rock on, Brother!
Thanks for video! Keeping rocking man 🤘
buy signature string is the most stu**d thing ..... i dont think the factory build spesific machine or material just for one person ... so just buy a normal product with no artist name on it they EXACTLY THE SAME ... becouse artist name mean more money you have pay
Love EMG sound, just don't dig the battery change.
Great review...thx a lot !! Cause the neck ist super thin do you think there could be problems with thicker strings like 064 or even 070ish? Cheers from Hamburg, Germany
thank you helped so much
Just bought a used one today (primarily for the sustainiac). Can’t wait to play with it. Thanks for the review!
Thanks man!!! Great video!!! 14:46
Great video man. I think the coil split is stock - My son's guitar has it.
the dimebucker seems to be the most unique to my ears based on the different samples given here. many of these sound insignificantly different to me, in that with a mix and with that amount of distortion it probably won't make a huge difference which one you pick. but yeah, it depends on each person's ears and being right int front of the sound as opposed to listening over youtube and stuff...
So many horrible pickups. 😂 EMG 81 clear winner with JB second and the Custom Shop third. The Gus pickup probably needs its pre to make sense.
As an emg player I demand a refund.
