Max these videos are extremely useful, thank you so much! Btw could you do more Harley Benton reviews? Your reviews are the best
Sure thing! I have a few Bentons waiting for the next season of guitar reviews to begin!
@@MaxSoloMusic hi max ik im late but could you review the sc custom or the cst-24? Thanks
@@gabrielem.9690 Hey. I'm not planning videos on that specific model in the near future. I had a brief look at two CST guitars on my secondary channel but it never turned into a review. Right now there several new and interesting HB models I'd love to cover asap
Love your channel, Max! This was really helpful. It would be great to see a video where you talk about dealing with the other 10% of mechanical noise.
You lick it better, like a cat mothering its offspring. Don't forget to purrr.
the best video out of all the videos when I searched "String Dampener".
Great video. Definitely using some of these tips on my electric violin!
This is the most thorough video on string dampening. I've been playing guitar for about 15 years and I am just now getting around to doing this. Great video!
This video deserves way more views!!!
Btw, velcro and cable ties are awesome not just for dealing with mechanical noise, but also as mutes for unrequired strings while recording, or as string dampeners for bass guitars. 👌
Really great channel, Max! You provide so many practical solutions for guitar problems, etc. Great, in depth reviews, too. Thanks a ton!
My pleasure!
Add foam in the pickup cavity. Fill it on all sides, no empty spots to remain. Big thickness boost in tone. Cuz less feedback. The pickup cavities act like smaller F holes.
I would love to see a second part. Very useful stuff here.
Noted!
got here by accident, but was totally what I needed for my guitar. Thanks.
Thank you for this Max. One of the best channels on UA-cam with extremely useful content.
Thanks! I'm glad to hear that!
Can't wait to try this. I thought it was the Floyd springs so I dampened them. Helped a little, but only a little.
stayed til the end, thanks dude
This is truly the most informative video on combating mechanical noise out there . Thank you!
Good job Max! I usually use a big piece of "sponge" ( that one inside the EMG package) for the floyd Rose noise
Dude, your content is a goldmine! I wonder why you have so few subscribers while much less informative channels go into millions. You surely deserve better!
Thanks smk666. Channels that go into millions are in the entertainment niche, not in gear reviews :) UA-cam naturally promotes those videos much more
Very informative!!! Those magic velcros sure do some miracles getting rid of those pesky mechanical noises. I do have fretwrap on my tale but will employ Velcro's too.
The velcro thing is genius! Thnx
Hmmm. An alternative point of view:
Clapton used a trem Strat made hard tail with wood blocks but insisted on the springs being there in order to give the guitar a 'bit of twang'.
Flamenco guitar players have always treasured the additional twang given by the strings between nut and tuners/pegs, and ensure that when changing strings, those bits of string string can resonate undisturbed.
In previous decades, and with some current models, both acoustic and electric steel stringed guitars used a stoptail connected to the strap pin (ie a trapeze tailpiece) in order to maximise the length of freely vibrating string between the bridge and stoptail.
By far the best video about noise, thanks!
I have so much of this stuff laying around. Thanks!
Man, awesome. I'll apply to my gear right now!
Thanks for the great video! I just setup my new strat like this. I never would have thought you could hear the opposite side of the string trees but if I punched it pretty hard I definitely could. I might try weaving some parachute cord for a more finished look than velcro. Thanks again.
hi buddy that was an awsome vidio, i learnt alot from you tonight , im now applying the same tech to my metal axe wraith , thank you , kind regards mike in the uk.
I have a ton of experience setting up, intonating etc....guitars over the years, and oddly I never factored in the strings ringing out on the headstock as a source of noise. I suppose some would simply call it resonance, and even desirable at times, but not always. Thanks for that suggestion.
Very helpful solution.
You know what creates more noise? My sloppy playing.☹️
Hahaha, Same here man
@@madcarpkirb6238 Taken literally, @Mr9911Medic's sloppy playing creates noise on YOUR guitar (and possibly mine, as well). Always wondered where mine came from. 🙂
Awesome content! Please never stop!
Excellent content. Thank you.
THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH. GREETINGS FROM COLOMBIA!
theres genius tips.. simple but noice.. thanks sir
Very helpful, thanks! I'm just about to do some work on 2 guitars with tremolos, i'll definitely add this on the to-do list
Sounds like a plan!
7:22 random meshuggah intro
Хорошие советы, реально рабочие и незатратные. Бывает, на гитарах ещё датчики вибрируют, появляется дребезг на длинных нотах, помогает проложить поролон по бокам датчика
O да. Датчики, пружины их поддерживающие, иногда даже анкер. Все что не закреплено - будет резонировать и вибрировать
I shove drinking straws inside the springs. Works like a charm, but you need to find straws of proper diameter. For the strings behind the nut I've used rubber band like the one, which is used in the cloth, worked better than velcro, but looked uglier.
Thanks for really nice tips 👍
Always welcome
Great man, I do this with Heat-Shrink Tubing
Thanks Max!
nice video Max!
nise velcro tip! thcs!
Dude....that rolled up paper in the springs made a massive difference! Thank you!
Danelectro seems like a good candidate for horror films music inspiration and instrument at the same time.
i'd rather have my guitar sound like a guitar. never agreed with these types of measures for ordinary 'noise'
Manufacturers of expensive fret noise reducers are in shambles after this video! I've used velcro cable ties for years, and it simply works.
I often use the trem srpings to pack a joint....another idea.
Awesome videos man!
Glad you like them!
**builds guitar out of velcro for ultimate dampening**
This was great! Thank you.
Now how do I play Van Halens Runnin With the Devil and not having it sound dampened? Springs I can understand a bit. Oh well... You can also just take some Velcro with the soft fuzz part and stick it to the back of the plate cover where it barely touches the tremolo springs. Takes that noise away very fast and doesn't get in the way, causing the tremolo to not return to the center position. I figured that one out about 10 years ago. But you have to have the tremolo plate cover.
The is fantastic. Thank you
Great tips, thank you!
I have used foam behind nut when I switched to 9 - 42 for lead from 10 - 46 strings. However, the foam wears out quickly. Velcro seems to be the next choice as you demonstrated. I will do that. Thanks for a good work.
Thank you!
Great video!!!!
Thanks Max, really great tips!
Have you any left and right hand muting techniques lessons? BTW, just subscribed.
Thanks Doug. Lessons are not my topic unfortunately
@@MaxSoloMusic No problem… I understand. Glad I ran across you, look forward to your posts! 🎸
Brilliant!
Great video thanks 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it
Please make a part 2, would love to see you dampening the pickup springs lmao
bro that pickguard looks sick. where's it from?
I have Velcro! Killer!
Great practical advice! New subscriber!
Welcome to the secret club :)
I wish that you could've compared at least one headless guitar. It stands to reason that there should be little to no mechanical noise with a 1 piece/non-floating bridge and no headstock... but there's no way to know without comparison
nice video, dude. Thank you
Thanks Rennan
thanx max!
Great tips. Had some very nice pickups put into my Telecaster and installed a graphtech nut and the mechanical noise was significant. Used the velcro tip on the headstock and it's almost 100% gone. I can't hear anything except beautiful new pickups. Thanks again.
Very good.
I can see this being useful on metal type ‘chug’ guitars but not sure I’d notice so much on others. I’m curious enough to check it out though. Wow, that Danelectro did sound pretty bad.
Hi. :) Loved the video.
Bravo!
Looks like you are an experienced engineer, aren’t you ? What university did you graduate?
very helpful!
I'm glad!
But is it noticeable in real life situations when not trying to hear the difference?
I suspect it’s less than a minimal difference
Huge props to you for this. even though it is 3 years old. the Velcro trick has so many usages and solves so many noise issues on the guitar. also, if some people, like me, thinks that the Black velcro takes away from the look of the guitar, if you get velcro with the adhesive back, you can just put some colored tape on the front facing side of the velcro. for my guitars with gold or Chrome hardware. I just use some gold/chrome metallic tape and bam...looks more aesthetically pleasing.
But you NEED those strings to ring between the nut and the tuner pegs if you're gonna do an accurate cover of 'Runnin' with the devil'. Sound appears at approximately 17-18 seconds into the song. RIP Eddie.
this is great, i tried these tips and it completely 100% eliminated the noise, but how can this be eliminated in the guitar itself without using gadgets? I have a brand new guitar with locking tuners and a tunomatic bridge (gibson les paul style) with this issue and its so annoying. Im about to take it to a tech
Velcro... but what am I supposed to do with all the socks I have stuffed into my guitars?
But this way guitar looses a lot of charm in sound and becomes uglier.
I got a guitar set up and a new bone nut installed on my strat. I’m getting ringing/overtones when I play single notes. Even short guitar notes trigger string feedback noise from the other unused strings and even the string being played. Happens when I play 3 or 2 string chords on GBE strings as well. I get feedback from the EAD strings. Wasn’t like this before I had the this job done. The action is very low near the first few frets by the nut. I’ve also noticed the action is not even through out neck. Gets higher going down the guitar. I’m taking it back to the shop next week. I’m regretting getting this bone nut swapped if that’s the issue. Or was it a bad set up or is this sympathetic resonance im dealing with now? Wasn’t happening before I took the guitar in. Nice video.
I was having noise issues. And it turned out that I needed a new cable. After I went to a music store, NOT THAT AMAZON CRAP I purchased a PAUL REED SMITH CABLE and all of my amplifiers seem to be wonderful. Good luck to all.
thanks bro
Hi Max, your video was excellent! To the point and many practical examples on how to stop unwanted noise.
And what about the toggle switch noise transmitted to the pickup? On all my Jackson/Ibanez/Schecter, when I want to quickly change to neck pickup, I hear the toggle (mechanical noise) through the amp.... So each time I use the volume pedal... Not the quickest way.
but what happens to sustain?
Hello!! Thanks alot for the tips 👍😊
I actually pushed cut-offs from an old Ethernet cable into my springs. Now they are dead silent. Rubber tubes will absorb nearly all audible vibration if it's the right fit/hardness! The softer, the better. :)
I ordered a silencer noise gate from sweetwater. Hasn't arrived yet, hope it works out
If you need an effects review, find Andy. If you need a guitar-science-or-whatever-it-is-called, find this guy. You once enlightened me with your guitar synth effects(GR 55//SY 300) review, now you enlightened me again. Thank you!
Очень полезная информация, спасибо, Макс. Гибсон и теле теперь зазвучат чище)
Можно ли ждать обзор на revstar? Следующая гитара мечты)
Супер! Revstar у меня на тест-драйве пока, но есть вероятность что и на него будет что-то
@@MaxSoloMusic просто прекрасное совпадение, что именно в этой конфигурации, спасибо, буду ждать!
Now that we got the noise under control , lets do something about that t-shirt . Nobody? Really ? Great vid
Easy pickings 🤠🎶
The older I get, the more I realize that I know f**k all! .... great video, Max.
Thanks for the advice, very helpful :)
Any way to reduce the 'hum' noise when running on mains electricity, apart from an expensive UPS device?
Dude This is the first time I've watched your video excellent especially the tremolas way overlooked stuff man but I'm OCD about that 🤘🤘🤘
Nice video but...as a luthier I have to say...Unless you're playing high gain tight metal for example, don't do this. This vibrations will be overtones when you play...and they brings character to the tone.
this should have been titled: "Make your guitar sound the opposite of a Jazzmaster/jaguar"
Was doing research on my Ibanez RX40 to try and fix it, first guitar and it doesn't seam to work, mean time, I can remember the paper and Velcro tricks when i get it working. Thanks!
Bro, I’m not sure why I’ve just accepted the little noises even though I knew what they were. Your video motivated me to soundproof my Charvel Danhage.
Max ! This video came right on point :D I used to dampen the spring noise with fabric underneath the back plate, but my Strandberg Prog 7 doesn't have a back plate ! I guess I'll go on Velcro Rampage Mode ;) Thank you very much for your very useful and in depth videos
Perfect!
03:02 That sounds like a horror movie😅
Hi. Very informative. Thanks. Why with the exception of the Floyd or Ibanez tremolo systems, do you only use 2 springs, eg the Strat? Regards.
Thanks. 2 springs are enough to balance a 9-42 or a 9-46 set of strings. 3 springs make the tremolo less responsive
Shoelaces woven into the strings would work nicely and could be bought in colors which compliment the guitar. no raggedy Velcro needed.
