Sounds like you struck on a great combination of mods for this guitar. That’s awesome but the frustration in this game is if you did the same to another guitar it might only give so, so results 😆 Enjoy the rebirth of your guitar 👌

So true. Definitely exceeded expectations on this one which is cool.

Great intro! Cool that you're fine-tuning and exploring . . . sounds great, the PG mod interesting given it's a pair you're dealing with now, nice to have subtle variations to play with! Cheers from HK!

Well done. You have to compare this with your mates R8 on camera.

Was definitely worth doing :)

You and I are on the same page. You've reached the point of having a "modern" guitar that gets a really great original '50's tone. Eastman, in my opinion, nailed so many of the nuances of the '50's construction but they fell short on their wiring configuration. Most people won't notice. You did, I did. A few small tweaks and there you have it. Congratulations. I've enjoyed watching your videos leading up to this. Can't wait to see more of you enjoying this configuration.

Intro sounded great!!!

The backing track helps haha - working hard on it though!

Nice video Pauly and the intro was great. Glad you tried a 50’s loom in there. That Eastman is sounding smoking!

@Paul-D 2 ай бұрын

Thanks man! It made alot more difference then i thought it would. It had a good loom in it stock - but the 50s spec with the .22s has really made it more to what i was after

Great sounding guitar! Even with the tone rolled right back it doesn't to get as woolly as a Gibbo. I have a pair of pickups for a project guitar wound based on the custom buckers, alnico 3 but wound to 10k rather than 8 and open coil. I love the sound of them - clear but not too bright and works well with the harness that was made for them by the same builder. Eastman player here too. Love your vids.

Awesome - hope they find a good home!

Thanks man and im glad you like yours! Its a super guitar ive been eyeing up a black one 😅

Will you get the R8 back in for a comparison? I’ve owned a bunch of Eastman at the same time as a ML R9. Seems like you are getting close here.

@Paul-D 2 ай бұрын

I’ll definitely be comparing it when i go back to my mates - 50/50 whether i get in on camera haha

@Raff654 2 ай бұрын

Sounds really good Paul, I must say .. the harness price isn’t too steep either after looking for it . Were your Custom Buckers in the £250 range ?

@Paul-D 2 ай бұрын

All those harnesses are quite expensive if you break down the parts your paying at least triple - BUT ive bought them in parts before and its never quite as good as having someone more knowledgeable match pots and caps together first as they all have large tolerances after all. I don't mind paying the premium for that and helping a small business ran by a good bloke at the same time :) I paid just under £250 for them from a mate - they are around £500 a set new!

@@Paul-D cheers for the reply Paul .. Btw do you still have the Marshall classic ? I got the sv20 head which is great . Very versatile when you get to know it ..

@Paul-D 2 ай бұрын

I went back to a katana head into the same cab. Just more flexible at home for me. I do really want a sv20 or the jtm but without an attenuator i know they are way too loud in here haha

@Ronskie66 Ай бұрын

Where is the R8 so we can hear how close they are now? I am gonna shout R8 over and over till we see that video. Edit: I have now been shouting R8 for approx 30 seconds and my voice has completely gone.

Havent got round to my mate who owns it yet, but i will haha

@jamesmaddock 2 ай бұрын

I think it’s getting into the neurotic territory of guitar nerdery here . The original pickups sounded pretty great to me and when you add in the amp tone controls and pedals all those tiny differences between the pick ups become almost imperceptible.

@Paul-D 2 ай бұрын

Definitely. But coming at it from an angle of fun not obsession or belief nothing is good enough haha

@djt6546 2 ай бұрын

The player can either tell a difference or not. Rather like some family members don’t really see much of a difference between DVD and 4k 😊 But if you can feel and hear a difference, and you are the inquisitive type, you get sucked in and can’t let it go. If you ever wish a neck humbucker was a little less dark and more open simply swapping out the 0.022u cap for a 0.015u cap can make a real difference and in the right guitar takes your woman tone and “quack” to another level. That takes like 2 minutes to do and is probably the cheapest mod one could ever do beyond buying a new set of strings. If you’re not the inquisitive type and able to focus purely on the music with what you’ve got that’s awesome. But boy do a significant proportion of guitarists like to tinker. It doesn’t always have to be expensive though to make a positive difference. 🤗
