      Same reaction, that's not a real P90. And you're right, they sound way different. Too bad she doesn't have one. I had two on a mid-60s SG, foolishly traded it for a beautiful Epiphone Sheraton in natural Maple with two humbuckers, listed for up to $900 depending on where you shopped. Worth every bit of 600 when SGs were going for 600 -700. I didn't keep the Sheraton long, didn't sound right. Ended up with a 64 Melody Maker with single coils (as above, but the originals) -- still not the same...there's nothing like a P90.

I like the middle pickup a lot because it feels like a second bridge pickup in a big way. I also have the out of phase options too. Incredibly well made versatile instrument with an ash body maple fretboard and neck, 24 frets locking nut Floyd rose. $500 well spent.

    Just got a Danelectro 59, a few years ago, with lipsticks, what a blast, completely different tone than, Strat,tele, lp, or my shredders. Ibanez, I am not a guy that thinks this vrs, that, I really think anyone seriously playing guitar needs to own a mixed bag of tools, and over the years you learn what tools will sit in that type mix best. Or how sometimes using the wrong style of guitar for the song, ends up with something cool. I think it’s very limiting to get hung up on one style of guitar, as is all the rage on the internet, and this vrs that thinking. Also the different types of tone, lead to different places musically, this can help bust out of a rut, also having a classical guitar and an acoustic. And study that as well, learning classical guitar will help electric playing down the road, and opens the door to hybrid picking. Anyway just keep mixing it up, this has kept the guitar as exciting, and fresh as it was day one for me, I have been playing about 40 years now. I get that a new player is not going to start out with a vast array of guitars, nor did I, but over time, you stick with it, the gear piles up. IMHO, an intermediate player and above, should at least have a Strat, tele, lp. They will do 90% ish, of any electric style. It’s something to consider.

    To me and this is just my personal preference, you can get a somewhat decent clean sound with a humbucker, but you really can't get a thick rock tone with a single coil, plus adding gain just increases the noise inherant in single coil.
    I always had humbuckers wired so that I could split the coils , giving me the best of both sounds.

  • @Nicolas.440
    @Nicolas.440 4 роки тому

    Cool video and informative. Nice tshirt by the way!
    I am not sure I agree with the crisp comparison though (but I believe everyone perceives sound differently).
    I find single coils and P90s creamy (maybe the hum creates a bit of that overdriven effect to my ears) to my ears hum buckers are punchier, an effective way for lead guitar to cut through the mix. Just my two cents!

    Humbuckers don't sustain more.
    They do have a bit less harmonic content, and are often wound more so they are a bit darker. Both of these effects make the distortion a bit less fizzier.
    The P90 is the best or worst of both worlds. It is more dynamic than a humbucker, but less than a normal single coil. It also distorts more on the bass strings so is kind of imbalanced.
