Here's Cathy's video of her rewinding them
ua-cam.com/video/noW4cFdCymY/v-deo.html
This is probably my favorite show on UA-cam.
Thanks bro!!
MY FAVORITE CHANNEL ON UA-cam. All subjects. Any subject. My favorite. Down here in Georgia, you would be a cool neighbor. 👍
She sure do wind a fine sounding pair of pickups. All settings were awesome. Out of the park.
I enjoy watching both you and your wife doing these chanels. I had to laugh at Trey trying to get you to play something else. You know what your listening for when you play. If you get a chance sometime it would be interesting to me and maybe others to hear a backstory of how you learned to play and what music you like to play. Rock on and keep doin what your doin!😊
I like how you play the same riff when ya checking out a guitar 🎸 ya kin really hear da difference ses... Kathy is da bomb 💣 with them pickups
Intonation is out brother! 😊
Dear God!!! The ballsy sound that came when you said "But listen to this!"
I am a guitarist of 30 years! I love the sound of P90's !!
Whatever Cathy did to the pups jacked them up into Hall Of Fame status!! That sound is sonic excellence!
I bought one of these a few months ago when they were on sale for $85. I was not expecting much...but it is a KILLER guitar. I LOVE the neck and the sound. I think I'm going to order a white one to go with the sunburst I got.
The licks don't matter, brother! Keep us Scarred and we're good to go😊
I have an Epiphone LP 2. I gave it to my granddaughter. She loves it! The P90s sound really good. For some reason my hand goes numb playing it, but she loves it. I guess the neck is too thin for me. Since I about tore my fretting arm off, I have to have an old C or U neck. Cathy, those P90s sound great. I guess I am hung up on those humbuckers though. Dang they all sound sound good after you made them. Sean those frets look really good and sound like they should!
Love your show Shawn
Great video! I got the same guitar for about $85 from Target last week. I got REALLY lucky, as mine didn't have anywhere near the issues you had here - no extra holes, straight neck, level frets. These cheap things really are luck of the draw! I got an Indio Tele-style guitar a year or so ago that was absolutely horrible.
I like that after I finish watching your videos I can go straight to watching more on Cathy's channel.
Kathy , if I am spellin% that right is going back old school. YES!!!
I bet if you bought them direct from Monoprice they'd probably be in better shape, I bet they were seconds that are sent to places like Amazon for resale because there's always something wrong were the ones you get from Amazon
Yeah, I’m a lefty and I just got one of them last week from Harley Benton and it has the jag master pick ups. Oh my god what a rocking machine he just got done playing at about an hour ago.
I guess they are wound with 43 gauge wire, it's thinner and gives a higher measurement even though there is less copper.
This channel is brilliant glad I found you , via double D guitar now subscribed on both channels,love it when I find great you tube channels like these .. now heading over to Cathy’s channel … thank you keep posting
Y'all do good work Sean and Cathy. So, shortly after I watched Cathy's new video I visited the eBay link, they were all gone. Once day I will be able to scar my guitar with a set of them. I have 15 Teles and I'd love drop a set in a bunch of them. Thanks for another great video Sean and Cathy.
Bro message me I'll make sure you get the next set.
Once again… another kick ass mod!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Love the way you’ve got it sounding a lot. Love to hear that sucker out of a 1970. Marshall 100watt Plexiglass head and cabinet turned up to nasty. Cathy rocks. 😊🎸🙏
Wanted to get one of these years ago but couldn’t get them where I live. Glad to see you review and mod them, keep on rocking and scarring guitars.
I love these vids, been building partscasters for 20 years and the 90s korean squires are great if you can snag one cheap
Love you and Cathy's vids Sean! I checked and couldn't find this'un for $120, but as soon as I find a JM style kit or complete guitar I am on it!!! I am hoping for P90's and JM style trem. So far the closest I've found is the Harley Benton kit on Reverb for $170 with block inlays. Subscribed!!! Love from Broward Co. Fla!! -Eric L. P.S. your vids and tool recommendations are helping me to set up me and my buddies guitars!!
Great video sir. You both are awesome at what you do!
Great video, Brother....
It's definitely a country twang. Sounds a little like my tele with semi hollow body and P90's
🤔 Sean's Scarred Set-Up + Cathy Wound Pickups + A Buck Twenty Guitar =
A Guitar Worth 10 Time What It Cost Originally !!!
As Always Have a Great Evening Sean, Cathy, & Everyone Scarred ...
Live Free or Die, From Pew Hampshire !!!
Sounds awesome!
Nice to see someone fix the clack epidemic.
Can't wait to see ya review their strat copy
My Indio Tele Caster is a badass guitar after the setup . It has a popular body and a maple neck.
Got another one of those Buzzard bill headstocks huh.
Great video!
Nice new pick ups...fantastic sound
Great Vid !!
Never seen a p90 wound that. Freaking hot holy shite
Yeah, wasn't that cool!
Please teach us how to play those cool licks Sean! Cool video as always!
No, my friend, that's POPLAR (pop-lar.) POP-U-LAR means something that's liked by many people. There's a difference! ... Gee, I kinda like the hook shape on the headstock. Hey, some will, some won't care for it. Y'know. ...Yeah, the original equipment pickups were weird and nasty. Cathy's creation of replacement pickups was brilliant. Sounds like it ought to, now! I love finding cheapie POS guitars and makin' 'em good. Y'know? Workin' on a cheap kit Explorer style guitar at the moment, goin' at it with the same philosophy. Got a nice fancy veneer for the ho-hum look of the top, and a change of pickups. The OEM p'ups might be perfectly fine, but I knew I wanted to try a different set right from the jump. And of course, the thing to pay attention to (as you know) is the neck. All aspects. Oh, cool, now I've gotta go watch Cathy's rewinding video!
That thing sounds great man....👍
Really enjoy your channel/content and how you present it. I own two Mono Price guitars. Like you, I'm not crazy about the head stock. It would be awesome to see you change the design along with the process! Take care and keep up the great work. By the way, I'm learning how to set up guitars based on your video's.
Wow that polish sure made a difference to those frets !!!!!! Wombat Roger from AU
Always can get an honest evaluation here. Never been a fan of off-sets or P90s but Kathy hooked you up! Gonna have to rethink my thunk of off-sets as "surf guitars"
Wooooow, Cathy’s pups really made the difference. Way more definition, they sound badass. I’m gonna be wanting a dog eared p90 (noiseless?) for my Westcreek DC, I’d sure love it to be one of hers.
It’s got a great sound from here . 👍
Trey's gonna shred it huh, glad I'm subbed to the old ladies channel too. Lol 👍👍✌️
This is for y'all who feel o'bliged to correct Sean on the spelling/pronounciation of a certain wood used for guitar bodies. So, watch a whole bunch'o Scar videos. I think you will notice that Sean has one heck of a good time playing loosely with the vernacular of............let"s just say the "where" is irrelevant-which happens to rhyme with irreverent. Catching on? Here is another clue. In-toe-nate. And it ain't got nuthin to do with yer foot.
Most of us will not be surprised when SCAR MY GEETAR is the absolute MOST "poplar" show on UA-cam!!!
ROCK ON Sean and Cathy!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds sweet🎸
Awesome job on the build man! Would love to see you do a build on a budget resonator guitar I just got off Amazon. I personally really like it. I think you're the best person to find a way to make it better. It's the Gosila resonator electric guitar from Amazon.
Dang Kathy I need some of those p90's you go girl!
My Indio tele rocks. Just needed fret ends smoothed. But I use Mothers mag & aluminum cleaner for my fret polishing. Nothing else.
Hey Sean how about a in depth video of your workshop, bench and tools. Appreciate you man!
Hi I joined your membership 2 days ago love all your videos jim
Thank you sir!
You are very welcome
I just picked it up last week from Target website for $89. I love the sound and neck.
Dude they have guitars som like cheap but then most others not like lefty sawtooth 99.99 right handed 359.99 you know
Best shop at target unless like left handed but then probably not even honestly just order from temu your best off building a kit from china
sounds great. I'm curious what the readings are after Kathy fixed them.
Sounds good bother.😮
This being able to spin your own pickups at will is beyond cool.
A few Years ago I found deals on Indio Top o the line Ash body Strat and Tele style. ( 100 - 150 each ) They are copies of 1950s Fenders. Aside from "ugly" not Fender headstock 2 of the best guitars I have ever owned or played. And thats including many vintage Fenders and Gibsons. If they were 50s Fender 10s of k's. 200.00 or so is a better deal for most of us Not rich people.
Hey Sean, I think p90s like you!!! They definitely fit your playing and music type!!!
Hey, thanks!
I'm sold on Cathy's p90s. I'm definitely gonna be ordering them. I'm a big p90 fan and have a few guitars with them. I must say they are by far the best sounding I've heard on your channel. I do all my own work and I've learned a lot from watching you. Thanks to you and Cathy for all you do. By far the best videos on guitars!!!!
I think the head of that guitar would look fabulous if someone could paint on a nice quality bald eagle head.
I was looking for a head bop at the end.
I like that buzzard beak headstock, but if I get one, I'll have a Harley Benton "Jazzer" to sell. P90s or HSS, it looks real good. But I might put my own name on it.
I've been using compounds all my life. We finish cars furniture. All you got to use is automotive compounds. Don't be fool with specialty compounds. It's all the same, even new finish that has a slight compound in it and the stuff is excellent and it's cheap😮
Have you ever checked out the Donner DST 152? If so, where can I find the video ?
It is a nice guitar.
I see the link for her video thank you.
Sean, maybe you could do a "Scar My Bass Guitar" Episode, and put Cathy's super strong Prototype pickups in it. Could be interesting. 😎
What kind of Amplifier do you use?
Those fake Schaller style tuners in my experience work just fine. I've gotten them on chibsons before and they hold great. Much better than the fake grovers they use.
I'm one of your subscribers that hasn't seen how the pick-ups are done. And I am interested in it.
Before taking it apart I would have checked the pickup height. They sounded like they were too low, lifeless. They're hot, I bet they're fine.
What DAW do you use
Why dont you rout the bottom edge of that buzzards beak to a shallow step down and darken it to give it some flare?
Its funny, I've been playing since the early to mid 1980s, and I've never given P90s even a second thought until a little over a year ago, now I wonder why I haven't been playing P90 guitars for the last 3 decades. Also it looks like the rest of the world has discovered P90s at about the same time I did (along with lever aciton rifles ... but that's for a different channel).
I need one of Cathy's P90 bridge pickups
Do you have a link for the indio with the p90’s?
do you re-finish guitars?
It's up to $179 on Amazon now. Must be the Scar My Guitar sale. ;)
Can you do a video? os20 vs. os30. What fits best for the type of player? I am trying to buy one of these and ad maybe a GFS Dream 180 or GFS Hot Nashville. Can you help me?
koool brotha!
i also have this model haha! reg price is 179 i believe...
Same here, I got it on sale for $85. Now I need those P.U's
Shaun you say they are all good when do some work to them, lol, the fire fly was the best, the center was the best now this on is the best, so with one is best lol, love your show
Bullfighter.
Nice!! Trey fails to realize that you very well “can” use new riffs, but you probably don’t “want” to learn them, lol. 😂😂😂 We all have our tried and true go-tos, right?!
I saw two people post UA-cam vids with Indio guitars that they paid $33 for on Amazon recently. They seemed pretty thrilled, but neither said if they’d have to do any work. I’m sure they will need similar work. Still, for $33 bucks, heck that’s a great “education guitar.” You know what?! That gives me an idea: companies should regularly sell their rejects at rock bottom on purpose to help people learn how to fix guitars, build partscasters, etc. That’s how they would have to be advertised in the description - that they are guitars requiring work, not immediate players. The companies would lose less money or possibly break even, and guitar players and hobbyists would be thrilled to buy them at prices like that. Maybe you can make that your next business venture and pitch that idea to some of these companies - how many people do you know who would love to buy a guitar for essentially the cost of the electronics, parts, and raw materials to learn how to diagnose issues and make it playable?
Great job on this amazing fixer upper - the pickups are incredible, but more on Cathy’s channel!
Hey Sean, you remember the time when you couldn't get low budget guitars that sounded good ?
I got one of these and right when I pulled it out of the box I said that's not bass wood.
The intro was funny, but...can somebody tab the "tired ol' lick" for me? I like it but can't figure it out. Thanks
0:06 -
Trey, because You touched Sean's guitar, Sean has a message not just for all, but for You also as well, and here it is... 18:19 - 18:21
Just a joke, guys! 😅
Tell em" bro
Having one of these, the stock pickups aren’t P90’s. They’re not a tall pickup and there’s no bar magnet. They don’t sound bad to me, and they are bigger sounding than a Strat or Tele, but a little less aggressive than I expect P90’s to be. I’m going to replace the pots in mine and then decide if I want to replace the pups.
is it worth it? with the right tune and set up of course...
Man you guys are spoiled to death. It's $119 are you serious?
Dude what are you talking about? Did you watch the rewind video? It absolutely had bar magnets and these are p90's plain as day.
Sorry bro. I didn’t say yours did not have P90’s…I said mine did not have P90’s.
Knock knock 😂😂😂
Whio's there?
So, what was done to the pickups. they sound good. maybe what was wrong with the pickups?
ua-cam.com/video/noW4cFdCymY/v-deo.html
It's popUlar to use POPLAR for guitars!😂
Started off sounding great until you got interrupted by the Shred maestro lol
😂😂😂
The screw holes in the back cavity are ridiculous I would send it right back
Sean, Will from Moncton NB Canada, do pickup covers make a difference in your tone. ?
No clue.
yeah, if its plastic or wood its a very slight difference but metal covers make a big difference
You wasn't caught playing The forbidden riff was you the one they won't let you play in the guitar stores
What is so popular about the wood?
All the trees are dying to give it to the guitars.
@@chrisstout8451 I was teasing Sean about his pronunciation because he was calling poplar wood popular.. I know it isn't funny in text.
Big Bird
Pop-lar by the way.
Waaaa
I have one of these and it feels like a real legit instrument. The tuners are the absolute worst I’ve ever seen. The Indio Boardwalk I have had the same problem. The electronics sounded okay, but in mine one pot is 250k and the other is 500.
40 thousand is just around the corner
