This was hugely helpful. You have done a great job explaining so simply what the functionalities of the guitars knobs as well as the pickup selectors are.
Finally, as a starter, i know how the knobs work on the Les Paul model. Very clear and good explanation, Antony. And about the guitar: I own more or less the same Epiphone: splendid guitar with fantastic price/value relation.
How about a video showing amp settings and how they work with various tone knob settings? I can’t find any videos that do this and I can’t get a proper rock tone when playing. I’m an intermediate player.
IT SAYS "RHYTHM" because most people strum more towards the bridge, and thus the neck rhythm pick-up gets a more melded, cohesive chordal sound. The solos are played with the bridge pick-up selected because most people directly pick above the bridge - and thus the notes are sharper and more succinct. i have never seen anyone play a solo above the neck pick-up.
Tried a shredding course for the first-time. They use the neck pickup. To my surprise. Thought it would be the brighter bridge. But that is used for palm muted rhythm .
Thanks! I have about 14 guitars. This one I borrowed from a friend because I don't play Les Paul's a lot. I do have a Carvin guitar that has a similar body to the Les Paul. I have a semi-hollow body guitar that I like very much, it is a Harmony guitar. Not a very famous brand, but I like those guitars very much. Most of the time I find myself playing my strats or tele (G&L). What about you? What is/are your main guitar(s)? Cheers, Antony
Can anyone explain what an older electric guitar does on its second 3 way switch? 74 hagstrom swede. 2 tone / 2 volume, and 2 3-way switches. I'm assuming it's coil split or tap but on a push/pull that's 2 ways, since this is a 3 way idk. I'm wondering if each 3 way is attached to each of the single coils in both hbs? Can't find much info on it
I think the 3 slots rhythm holds the top slot and first pick ups for fast strumming while the tone is for the lower frets or single notes and string picking
rather than up/down, i would have the switch left/right, left (N)/right (B), a more visual orientation. Could be done for the pots as well, but the volume pot for the bridge would a bit too far right imho
I agree about the lables on the 'poker chip' of the pickup selector on LP/SG-type guitars. I'd rather it just said NECK and BRIDGE. If this was an option I'd have it that way. Maybe BO...TH for the middle position for folks that need to be reminded. Also, shouldn't the printing for this be upside-down for the player to read from above, instead of 'right' side up for the audience to see? Most of our listeners don't even know or care what a pickup is. I've taken the poker chip off on a couple of my guitars just because sometimes they look better without it. Anyway, the switch is fairly self-explanatory and I'm not really troubled by the RHYTHM/TREBLE lables, these are just points for discussion if anyone is interested.
I'll start testing ;-) this is a really clear explanation, thanks a lot!!
Thanks Liesbeth! happy testing :)
The way you explain this item, makes it understandable for everyone! Thanks, Antony, for being not only a great player, but also a great teacher.
Thanks for the kind words Marijn!

You're very welcome Mahir! Cheers, Antony
I was playing guitar for several years, and I never paid attention about the knobs deeply...thank you for this video my friend !!!
Glad to help! Cheers, Antony

Excellent.You do what the others don’t.Show the knobs and switches and their functions.kudos.
honestly helped when I’m trying to learn how to wire a Les Paul, even though I don’t have one
I Play hard rock and metal. I turned all knobs all the way up and no complaints. 👍
I played that way too when I was younger it is the most power
This helped me alot...This is the video that I'm looking for
hi, thanks for uploading I was confused with my second-hand guitar, it came without explanation ;)
IT SAYS "RHYTHM" because most people strum more towards the bridge, and thus the neck rhythm pick-up gets a more melded, cohesive chordal sound. The solos are played with the bridge pick-up selected because most people directly pick above the bridge - and thus the notes are sharper and more succinct. i have never seen anyone play a solo above the neck pick-up.
Thanks for that
Hendrix played solos picking on the end of the fretboard sometimes , so that theory is nonsense .
Tried a shredding course for the first-time. They use the neck pickup. To my surprise. Thought it would be the brighter bridge. But that is used for palm muted rhythm .
Very clear on explanation
Well that was mercifully simple and easily understood 5*
This video was fantastic! Thank you!
Glad you like it Eddie! Cheers, Antony
Just started playing the electric guitar, this has been really useful -thanks
Thank you I just got my first four knob semi hollow H7 and this explained the middle selection, I thought there was something wrong with my guitar.
Such a cool guitar and video! :) How many guitars do you have?

I get my Slash Epiphone "November Burst" tomorrow and of COURSE I want to know what the knobs are for, thank you!
Brilliant video you got straight to the point

Thanks for this
Hope this works for the PRS with 4 knobs and 3 way switch……any feedback on that?
that was great and clear, awesome man

Why my Gibson studio red wine don’t have knob switcher (2016) 2:17
I am no longer knob stupid. Thank you.
You are good. 😊
My bridge and neck pickups can lift up and down, i dont know how to use it. Can someone explain?
When you pull up on the knob it switches the pickup from double coil to single coil mode and provides a different sound.
Nice Guitar =)
:)
I used to own exact same guitar, candy apple red. Amazing piece.
@@jurgenbaeteman1186 hi Jurgen, I think I remember this guitar... You got rid of it? Cheers, Antony
Is it possible to go from a 2 knob setup to a 4 knob setup?
