Club Soda He means KZfaqr that do ridiculous stuff for attention: silly faces in thumbnails and putting on fake personalities. It’s whatever to me. But it absolutely is ridiculous.

Indeed, some presenters' of guitar channels on YT would suit Barnum & Bailey's or The Wiggles better, farcical spasmodic bodily gyrations idiotic leering grimaces stupid sound-FX & puerile ridiculousness is de-rigeur for some guitar channels (whyTF?). Dylan's no-bs no-carrying-on like a drunk 14yr old & sensible sound & sane attitude is what guitar channels NEED as well as accurate helpful information. Freaky faces & daft voices are not why I am {we are, educated guess says I speak for the majority, surely?) here. Primal screeching & grotesque gurning does zero to help this guitarosaurus upon his guitarcheology odyssey of 42 of my 51yrs above-ground (so-far). David & Syro obviously know what I mean? Terreberry... snort... don't make me projectile blast my coffee a'la-firehose-style out my flaring nostrils all over the joint like a mad woman's sh*t!.. (nearly trashed my keyboard with nostril-coffee inundation...! 'strewth! that was close, man!). Great work Dylan, you know a Schaller from a Grover from a Gotoh, a LTD from an AIO from a G&L, one end of a fretboard from the other so subbed for these reasons & like Syro said your no-nonsense d*ckhead-free zone. Just added a Squier J.Mascic Sig Jazzmaster to my guitarsenal, it plays just gr8, stays tuned even after punishing the trem-bar too - recommended. Great vid Dylan, thanks for this & all the others I'm surely going to binge-watch real soon. Cheers, peace, far far too much guitar is grossly insufficient, woefully inadequate, nowhere near enough & be nice to ya missus! Didyabringyabongalong Station, Central Queensland, Australia.

What is Jell-o and how did it get in his pickup?

You say that like you think 12 yrs is a long time.

Ian Bunyan longer than some, shorter than others. The thing is after more than a decade of pseudoscience finally I came across someone who doesn’t talk “mojo”, “voodoo” or whatever.

@@williambhurt I was a choirboy and learnt music theory 1963-67. Started playing guitar 1966. (Age12).

@@williambhurt There was absolutely no intended criticism in my comment, you infered it.

@@williambhurt Thanks for that. I need to learn that irony doesn't come over well on KZfaq comments.

Hey, they had to reinforce the neck somehow before the truss rod was invented. Only long, mostly straight bones are useful that way. :)

My bone nuts are made from the shin bone of Vietnamese water buffaloes...

I second that!

I would like a tear down as well bc I know it’s just an improved strat pickup but I’m not sure how.

Yeah do that !

@Project Scoop 601 🤦‍♂️ it was a joke but thanks

Lol 1/8 is waaaaay too thick.

Was gonna say, the only thing better than a strat with a telebridge pickup is a tele with a strat neck pickup

@ mutate, evolve, thrive. Building a Stratele hybrid right now...

Great choice! I go back and forth between humbuckers, single coils and P90’s. IMHO the closest to a P90 is a start single coil as humbuckers just don’t sing like single coils. My Strat I swear is 1 in a million. I’ve had every awesome Strat bridge pickup in the bridge position and I still never liked the tone. I had a PAF in the bridge at one point but is was that humbucker sound...l until I upgraded my Tele with rails and put the Tele pup in the Strat tat I finally found “the sound”.

Keith Alan: I probably bet that you need to practice more and mod less.

It would make a difference if the strat was a hard tail setup. That would probably get you closer to the tele sound.

The baseplate effectively becomes part of the magnet, so this is still a case of the magnet affecting the sound. Your old view is still right, if you think about it that way.

​@@mal2ksc I think of the baseplate more as reshaping the field of the magnets since it has no magnetic properties of its own, but I agree that it could be thought of in the way you describe.

@@johnnybgoode1950 the baseplate affords not only electromagnetic field shaping (if right materials) but a larger surface area and more solid coupling with the body of the guitar. Everything, even if your eye cannot detects it, moves in this assembly, so the transmission of physical vibrations through the medium can also effect field by flexing that plate further in the already dynamic relationship the string/pickup loop is. This is how you get character and unique tone signatures from instruments - the latency in the loop between the strings that you've fretted and the bridge/nut is different than the latency of those same vibrations being radiated and applied to the pickup joint, which is electronically coupled - still mechanical, but of a decidedly different nature and usually attached to amplification systems so when those vibrations come from the cabinets themselves, they also enter the guitar as it is now a receiver in the external vibration coupling model. We can also talk about reverse headstocks too if you like...

when you've got tones with natural variations in frequency hitting each other at different times you can get an a mazing array of sonic behavior out of an instrument, especially if it's got sustain from hell and your finger tone is "good enough".

@@russellzauner I would imagine the added weight of the steel baseplate is also a factor in mechanical loop behavior.
