less than 3 minutes, and on a beach. Thank you ! it helped

"Yeah. I'll edit that out" Hahahaha. Sorry. Loved the very helpful video. Just thought that was funny. 🙂

I just set the pickups low enough to where it doesn’t happen at all and then turn up the amp I am playing through

Came for the pickups they sound great but I also want to compliment your excellent playing.

Great sounding pickups! And great demo Darren! That Edwyn Collins opener took me back... As an aside I'm always jealous of guitarists with 'spider hands'. I've been trying to play guitar on and off for ages. I love guitar (and my Mr Glyns Cruel Mistress Telecaster pickups) and have been told by musos I have a good ear and feel but am in a constant battle with my sausage fingers!

So in tone caps, the higher the resistance, the darker the tone, but in pots, it's the opposite. Can you please clarify? Thank you. Awesome sound on those Jazzmasters.

Hi Glyn, please excuse my ignorance, but wouldn't just turning the tone pot down a little have the same effect or just turning down the treble on the Amp if you preferred a not so bright tone, I turn the tone pot down on my J.M and Jaguar because I find them a little too bright, or would I be better off, in your opinion, just putting in 250K pots? I'm getting on in years and I do find it a bit confusing.

Nice!! Good and simple explanation for smooth brains like me!!

speaking from experience- mr glynn's pickups are incredible i've replaced my gibson custom historic *custom buckers* with his cloud 9's and i couldn't be happier or more impressed

Glorious!

Not to diss on Mr Glynn, but all soundbytes should diect to the mixing desk

Great playing Warren! Sounded a bit Jimmy Page towards the end there on the bridge pickup. Great sounding Pickups too Glyn. Well done both!

They real do sound good. Nice amount of bite and yet still single coil sounding. Great stuff man

Sounds so good

Great information and something to tinker with tomorrow!

i recently moved to P90's due to that's what was in a guitar a mate built. plugged into my usual amp set up and they just had clarity, string definition, mid punch and not a silly amount of bottom end. they just blew me away. Now, I'm loving the neck where as a humbucker neck i've always hated. strat pick up good, but P90 is perfect. so I'm sold on P90's for both pick ups.

Grand !

A much better overall sound. Kind of hifi as opposed to somewhat lacklustre stock pups. Mr Glynns pups have more high end, which works well for humbuckers. Maybe a bit like a P90 sound wise, without the hum

what a nice way to explain how it works.... thank you sm

To the point, and precise! If there is a better video out there, I'd like to see it done! I wish I could give it more than one thumbs up!

Is that Llanstefan Wales in the background?

Good demo. I see lots of comments about lower resistance being "warmer". The missing bit to the evaluation IMO is to also show the effect of the tone control. My theory is that the 1M "brighter" volume pot can sound a lot like a 500K or 250K if you roll off the tone a bit. Which seems to me like the 1M pot gives more sonic landscape to play with.

One of the best explanation and finally I got to understand the use of the treble bleed. My only issue that if someone on the beach saw that drawing Im sure it would not associate that with a treble bleed circuit:p

Hello there Mr Glen-im a session player in nyc. How did this get only 2 comments?!? That shit sounds killer. I was thinkin about getting a cheap sg-if I do, I’m gettin Black Sands. These SMOKE every humbucker size p90 on UA-cam…”It’s Late” thought I was the only one who plays that! Haha. 2 AC30’s w blues, & an old 80’s hardwired MXR Stereo chorus , try that on its late…Great sounds my man-your pickups are spectacular…

Jazz players need a neck pickup with clarity.

Thanks Glyn. I really like learning about pickups and you explain so well. LOL, I'm not saying take on teaching as a career as I REALLY like your pickups too. Cheers.

That sounds like a great pickup! Cheers Glyn. (I don't need another guitar ... I don't need another guitar ... I don't need another guitar ... I don't need another guitar ...)

Excellent stuff man; thank you!!!

This is only a Strat issue? Or single coil issue or can we apply this to all pickups?

This video should be at the top for answering the question of what a treble bleed is and does. Thank you!

This is great! For years, I've known that higher isn't always better. Plus magnet type has a little influence. In my Yamaha, they're ceramic. I've set my pickups to "the middle ground," and they've done well. I've also tried the "raising higher strings vs lower strings" comparison. This starts to get nit-picky, but I always want to see what my gear is and isn't capable of. For the record, it gets interesting results, and is totally a "taste" thing - but it's well worth trying.

The higher you go the brighter , opposite applies . Caps are opposite of that principle

Just installed a second humbucker in my homemade guitar and discovered that the second pickup was out of phase with the first because the common channel was very thin and much lower volume. But because of UA-cam, I simply reversed the wiring of one of the pickups and it worked perfectly.

I tried 1M pots in my LP and liked what I heard. The deal breaker was the pot's taper. I went back to the 500k pots.

as usual...the presenter is playing to show off his ability and not to illustrate the video

that s weird... humbuckers should have coils and magnets in opposite directions...the phase should nt be the same...otherwise there wont be noise cancelation

Ok @mrglyns pickups so how am i going to fit these in my gretsch which has broadtrons (which suck) have you got access to converse mounts. Or do you know where i can get them in new Zealand

You've definitely got it backwards. Its more dynamic and less compressed with the pickups lower/further away from the strings, and less dynamic/more compressed when higher/closer to the strings. Your demonstration kinda sucked because you started off picking fairly hard in the beginning of both examples, which didnt leave much room to show the difference in dynamics. But despite that, it still is pretty audible that it was more dynamic with the pickups lower/further from string. I even grabbed a good pair of headphones and re-listened to make sure. Then i was curious if maybe it was just you being inconsistent with your attack, so i did a little research. No where can i find anyone saying its more dynamic and less compressed with the pickups closer. And from my own experience as well, guitar pickups have always been more dynamic further away. 🤔

I've read magnetic field strength varies by cube of distance. So a very small change in distance will be a very large change in magnetic field strength.

Excellent video. Please, I ask you to answer a few questions. When unrolling the wire, isn't it necessary to heat it a little with a heat gun so that the wax melts and it can be done more easily?. If a Stratocaster pickup with heavy formvar 42awg wire has a resistance of 5.8k and by unwinding the wire I manage to get the resistance to 5.6k, will the change in tone be noticeable?. Thank you very much for answering.

You've made it easy to understand. Thanks, nice and short as well. Cheers from the Sunny Coast of Queensland in Australia!!

Gonna order the set pretty soon!

Great vid! I just saw a Peter Green LP setup...all this time I thought they MUST be LEVEL!

Promo SM 😀

Awesome vid Glyn!

Good video Glyn, thanks for sharing. I'm one of the people who're interested in this sort of thing (obviously I guess). Cheers.

Very cool. Interesting that they were already rewound but not period correct. I guess that’s something that happened a lot in the 80’s and 90’s but now people want vintage spec, and vintage value. Ha

This was brilliant. Such interesting discussion and technical too!

the clear view i am most intrigued by and pining to get into my baritone….❤

You’re a wizard Glyn! I love P90’s too. Fatter than single coils but not a humbucker and still push the front of an amp well
