When the guitar sounds the same. Yes. I went with P90s and the guitar was a brand new guitar because of the change
I've heard that the magnets gradually lose their magnetism. Is this a reason to change your pickups?
This is a thing that can happen. However, it takes a long time to happen (40-50 year old pickups normally) or they have to be in specific environments. If it’s a valuable pickup and/or guitar, the magnet can actually be re-magnetized then reinstalled. But if it’s a pickup and/or a guitar without significant value to you then changing the pickups makes more sense.
Instead of swapping P.U.'s, try to make a guitar with adjustable distance between the bridge and the P.U. (I would call it, a movable P.U.).
The toan is in the overtoans. Change the distance, and it records different one's. Specifically a bridge P.U. will benefit from being adjustable.
You sound like you use freedom units. Let's say 1/4" of movement would be enough.
No need to swap/buy expensive P.U.'s (not enough change in toan to justify the cost).
$0.02
Adjusting the height and angle of the pickups is a huge thing people forget to test and play with for sure!
@@tonebros6533 I meant distance between bridge and p.u., not p.u. and strings...
When im not happy with the tone.
I change mine every other Thursday on odd months, whereas on even months I wait for the 1st day after a full moon.
Don’t forget to factor in the leap years. 😂
@@tonebros6533 ah, crap. You’re right. My efforts for the past 10 years are now down the drain. Moving on I’ll keep it simple by just changing them quarterly while alternating between Mayan and Persian calendars each year.
