    This is incredible. This answered so many small things I didn’t understand the reasoning behind. I cannot wait for the humbucker one.

    Digging this Santa Cruz inspired logo, you should definitely do more, playing off of other skate brand logos, I always loved that they used to do a lot of that.

    Thank you for all the insight without giving away any of your secrets that make your pickups "Your" Pickups!!! While I'm an information sponge, I am fully aware I will never use any of this to make my own pickups. I just have a desire to learn all I can to help me better understand what all is involved in making pickups and how what effects what to create the sound!!! Great Job!!! Please do more when the opportunity presents itself. Thanks for another great video!!!

  • @richardmiklos466
    @richardmiklos466 2 роки тому

    Dylan thanks for your videos. I was wondering if it is possible to take the two wires that you connect together for wiring a humbucker and put a pot between them so you could dial an amount between humbucker and single coil?

    Dylan! You are the pickup master, so I assume you can make this concept clear, or at least clearer to me... You have so many pickup videos that I just found the latest to tack this question on to.
    I just recently learned about a guitar called a Gibson Blueshawk, and upon looking into it, I was introduced to the concept of dummy coils or dummy pickups. All I've been able to gather is that they somehow reduce (maybe eliminate?) 60 cycle hum in a single coil pickup. I've watched a few videos that show just removing the magnets from a single coil pickup and then soldering this coil electrically in with the other pickups. However, I don't really "get it."
    Why? How? Huh? It looks like just adding a bunch of wire into a chain, or sort of like a second coil in a humbucker. But if it doesn't have magnets in it, how does it do anything significant? If it does implement humbucking, then is the wire is the important part? Why do humbuckers have magnets in the second coil in that case? Why/how would this coil affect hum, rather than just adding a bunch of resistance to a pickup, making really muddy (or bright?) or something? Once I figured out that this was a rabbit hole I was going to get lost in, I thought, I bet Dylan could explain this. So, my official question is what is a dummy coil, what does it do, and how does it work?

  • @alexlaborde385
    @alexlaborde385 2 роки тому

    Can you tell me how you choose what gauge wire to use and number of windings? Is it trial and error or mathamatical formula from strenth of maganets.I often wondered

  • @summerboy1958
    @summerboy1958 2 роки тому

    Hey Dylan, does the coil wire have a coating? If so, does it make any difference in tone? I think you covered this in an older video, but I can't find it. Also, would you make a "modern" sounding tele pick up different than a "vintage" sounding one? For vintage, let's assume that means 50's-ish time.

  • @DaveC.5
    @DaveC.5 2 роки тому

    I've got a question about the pole pieces. In staggered pole pick-ups, is it the height of the pole that makes a difference in sound or the total length of magnet, or both aspects together?

  • @richardmiklos466

    Hey Dylan,
    I keep seeing other UA-cam channels about cleaning guitars using steelwool.
    Wouldn't there be a danger of the steelwool shavings getting pulled into the pickup magnets?

    So I used to get Guitar Player magazine once a month, and the featured guitarist interview mentioned how he had to re-magnetize his pickups after every few shows because he noticed the difference. This caused at the time a huge uproar from the readers afterward along the lines like, do I also need to do this, or does this even need to be done. So my question is, in your experience with new and vintage pickups, is there a need to re magnetize pickups, and how long will a newly made pickup under normal conditions need to be restored?

    • @ExplodingPsyche
      @ExplodingPsyche 2 роки тому

      I was wondering the same thing. I've never heard anything about pickup magnets needing to be re-magnetized, even in vintage guitars.

    I don't like the slant of the tele bridge pickup. It makes it too hard to EQ and it's almost impossible to get rid of that country twang in the B and E strings without making the EAD strings sound muddy. I think a lot of people would prefer it if the bridge pickup was unslanted.

    • @DylanTalksTone

    • @robmurrah3224
      @robmurrah3224 2 роки тому

      @@LOGICNREALITY if you unslant them, they're too long. Even so, i had a luthier straighten my tele bridge pickup out and, even though the pole piece alignment was a bit off, it sounded a lot better. All the icepicky sounds on the high strings were gone.

    • @DylanTalksTone
