Sounds amazing! Especially that middle position sounds great, like you said its like a grand piano! The old pickups don't sound bad or anything in the A/B, but the neck pickup I noticed immediately is tighter in the low end, more articulate and clear. Fantastic man, might have to get some of those Sunbear pickups sometime!
I've never seen someone alter the value of a pot like that. Very Interesting! I may give that a try with some gibson pots I have. Does it alter the taper at all ? Is there anything to look out for? Thanks for any insight!!
You’re removing so little material that it doesn’t change the taper. Just make sure to use a finer grit than what I used and make full passes over the carbon. Then nothing can go wrong!
@@SashaIvantic thanks for the quick reply. I have some vipots in my les paul, I may play around with the stock gibson 300 and 500k pots and see what they turn out like. Thanks again !
I always use cheap ass bike light wiring for my guitars. Why? Because it really doesn't matter at all. Even if it is 1 or or 2 metres, still too short of a distance to really make a difference in terms of signal loss. Learned this from a good friend who is an elektrical engineer. It saves me a good amount of cash when working on guitars.
Wowww what a HUGE difference between the pu’s. The PRS sounds dull and soulless (as we know PRS) but the others, ohh man, they are pure vibrating soulful energy. Bravo…
Brother, I really want to hear what you’re saying but that music in the ‘foreground’ is annoying me to death. Why? Why do people think anyone wants to hear music interrupting the speaker who I’m here to listen and learn from? This ain’t a rock video. Your knowledge and presentation are the only things we’re here for. Dump the music, please. It’s a compliment to you that I want to hear what you’re saying.
Man those sunbears are nice! So much more going on.

You should!
Just really cool. At this point I can’t imagine doing this myself, but who knows? In any case, it was fascinating and informative.
Just got my Sunbear Strat pickups in the mail and installing them tomorrow. Perfect timing!
Oh yeah! Enjoy!
Sounds great! Awesome video 👏
Thanks buddy! You gotta get on the Sunbear train
New set has a sweet tone comparised to the old one...maybe, also, a slighter mid tone
Collings guitars have amazing wiring work
Very much enjoyed this!
Thanks dude!

But is your electrical engineer friend a tone slut?
Listened to the video using headphones, I’d say the sunbear sounded a little bit clearer.
Hope that knob didn't damage the floor.

I've never heard it called "potmeter". I had to look it up to see if anyone else used that term instead of pot or potentiometer 😂
It’s the same…just remove the “entio” 😝
Glad you expanded your vlary. It’s the same as vocabulary. Just remove “ocabu”
@@SashaIvantic 😂
@@SashaIvantic don't be so pretus

Potmeter? Really?
