I've been thinking about starting to connect all of my guitar electronics to plugs creating a system where I have different switching and pot combinations I can easily combine with any humbucker I want to try in that guitar. It would mae swapping pickups from one guitar to another easier but since I have no need for doing that it's not worth the effort.

I was tempted to add connectors aswell, but when it came down to it, I just couldn't be bothered, I regret it now though since I want out change out the pickups

Please, dear God in Heaven, yes, paying a guy to do it is expensive for us po' folk!

Seriously! What gives?

psssht, maybe he gets the companies to do that for us!

Most metal bands scoop the mids

If you're early Metallica, then there's no such thing as mids in your tone haha.

Disagree, mids are lyfe, it's all about the mids!!!

AND he's german !!!!

What? I said it shifted it to a new level? No way... the difference was very very small and as far as I recall I said that you can easily leave the stock pickups in there and it's all good... maybe I said something different, but I don't think so. I definitely didn't pretend the pickups made a huge difference because they didn't...

Thank you for your reply. I have to apologize. After your reply I watched the Rübezahl-Video again. There you said: „Again, this will not change your guitar from crap to insane. It's gonna change it from pretty damn good for the price to …. other companies with guitars for under 1000 will have a hard time to compete with this.“ I thought, this is pretty a new level. But you say at another point, that the Rübezahl „will bring 10%.“ Ok, 10% more sounds not so big (that what she says ;-) So you are right. Another point to this new video: You say that the luthier knows the guitar best and chooses the optimal pickup. I think you are right, when it comes to your Framus Masterbuild. But I think, when it comes to the el cheapo guitar, the luthier has nothing (ok, let's say less) to say and the businessmann rules. Isn't there any cheaper pickup out there I can take ? So I think that in the lower price range some new pickups may bring some benefint. My Cort, which I play at Rock Smith in the Eb Dropped Db songs has EMG pickups I build in and „in my head“ it rocks ;-)(You mentioned the mojo sometimes too ;-) Another thing: I replaced for Standard E my Epiphone Black Beauty (with the 3Humbuckers) by a Hagstrom Northen Swede. I saw you in a video from Namm with a Hagstrom. I wasn't able to see, if it's the expensive Northen model oder the cheaper China model. I think, it's great for the money. What do you think? Bye, Markus

Es?

@@EytschPi42 Die Fragen haben immer etwas Provokantes von EP! Das kann man sich nicht anhören. Den Interviewpartner nervt es ebenfalls.

This is wrong and incredibly stupid information to parrot.

So why does my basswood guitar sound different to my mahogany? Both have 81 in the bridge.

@@mr.phil.a your basswood is a bolt on and the mahogany is a set thru I take it? Are they both the same scale?

How old the strings are will affect more the tone than the type of wood the guitar is made of. Two guitars, constructed exactly the same, with same woods, and hardware, but they have different age strings, there's no way they will sound the same.
