Very interesting information Cesar, amazing what a magnet can do. A great concept for all strat players out there. But doesn't this effect other guitars to some degree? Maybe not as noticable. Another item, what about raising the pickup slugs where adjustable instead of the pickup itself? Regarding correct pickup height. Wasn't that a trick used back in the 70's? (predominantly on humbuckers) Anyway, another great video my friend, looks like the injury is healing or has healed nicely. Glad to see. Thanks again, Duncan
Hey Duncan! I think is more evident in the three pickup guitars, strat - like...Regarding the slugs / screws you can manipulate them to increase / decrease the distance between string and pickup- though that is not my preferred method...In fact, in the " vintage - like " pickups the poles have different heights , like in my Fat 50's ( the ones in the video... ) Cheers my friend!
Hi César! Great video today. It happened to me several years ago with a strat type guitar... I had to lower the pickups in order to intonate. Otherwise is impossible to get it in tune... Un abrazo!
Thanks Antonio! Yes, back in Spain we were calling this " Stratitis " - on top of the difficulty in intonating, you can hear some overtones / rattling when fretting the note at the 12th fret...Thanks for checking!
Hola cesar , esta pregunta te haré no tiene nada que ver con este último vídeo tuyo , pero necesito una respuesta tuya si eres tan amable ya que me ayudarás en la compra de mi guitarra... Quiero comprarme una Yamaha sg 1820 pero necesito hacerte esta pregunta de todas las guitarras tuyas tipo les Paul Gibson, PRS etc si tuvieras que situar una Yamaha sg1820 en que posición la pondrías con esas guitarras que te he mencionado , básicamente la pregunta es si tú que eres poseedor de la Yamaha ,PRS, Gibson etc crees que la Yamaha está a la altura de alguna de ellas? Muchas gracias por adelantado cesar y un cordial saludo desde canarias.
KOOL to learn something new about a guitar Cesar , well done video !!!!
Thanks Don! Cheers man!
Everything effects everything.
Amen
it's amazing what the pull of a magnet will do to the vibration of the string if it's too close! good stuff Cesar!
Hey Randy - yes, and still some people denying the impact of pickup height in UA-cam,,, Cheers man!
Actually the best thing to do is LOWER all pickuips to pickguard level the set intonation then adjust pickup hight
True!
Great and helpful video as always Cesar, thank you 😊
