Congrats on 300k subs! Just found your channel and it has been a big help. Thanks for what you do Phil.
Congrats on the 300k sub Bro! I have a feeling things are going to get even bigger for KYG. You have nailed down a really solid format, and is one of my favorite all time youtube channels by far. Please include metal content, you're tech info and style is superior to others, just sayin. Rock on Bro!!!
300K and growing. Congrats on another UA-cam milestone. You can see why by this video (as well as all thee others I've been binging since December). Quickly demonstrated and explained, although I'm sure it took hours to prepare, this is a 10 minute video crammed with tones and info.
Thanks for the great video and congrats on 300k subscribers Phil! Proud of you!
CONGRATULATIONS on 300K Subscribers - You Da Man!
Congratulations on achieving 300,000 subscribers maximum respect ✊🤠🎸
300k subscribers! That's great Phil. Congratulations. Good comparison video too!
Congrats to 300 K! Thx again for your great work and sharing your knowledge
Have always wanted to hear a comparison of the PRS pickups. Thank you so much. It was a great review. Congrats on 300k!! New t shirt time!
Kudos on hitting 300K. Thanks for all the info that got you there.
This was a great comparison! Thx so much Phil and much congrats on your subscription milestone!!!
Complete beginner here, recently retired from the Army and love your channel!! I’ve learned so much from listening to you. That PRS (I think) at the top left of the screen is absolutely beautiful!!!
Congrats to 300k!
Congrats on 300k subscribers! Love your channel! I have 10 electric guitars, all of which I have either modded to suit me or built myself. I've learned a bunch from you. Thanks for what you do!
Thank you
Hi there Phil. Long time subscriber here. A couple of your videos helped me decide on which guitar to buy recently. My main guitar is a PRS (my favorite brand too) Custom 24 piezo with the older 85/15 pickups (non TCI). That guitar can do absolutely everything and I have a super strong attachment to it as I found out it was manufactured exactly 3 years before my daughter was born. It's my dream guitar, it even made me sell a guitar I bought from an artist (A Mayones Regius). 2 weeks ago I bought an ESP E-II Horizon III just like the one you reviewed and decided not to buy a PRS Dustie Waring (totally surprising given that PRS is my favorite brand). I've also had a long-lasting and loyal relationship with ESP as my first guitar was an LTD (still have it) and I've had LTD's along the way. I was blown away by the E-II. Perfect weight, very easy to play and the Seymour Duncan Custom 5 is absolutely delightful. It may very well be my favorite bridge pickup now. I regret buying a set of Fishmans to put on my 7 string 5 months ago. I should've kept the sentient in the neck and pair it up with a custom 5 in the bridge.
Anyway... Long story short, thank you for what you do as it definitely helps people. Keep rocking and may your channel keep growing :)
Congratulations on 300k. Yay! 😁👏🇦🇺
This channel is very informative and helpful about guitar.
Congrats on 300K Phil you deserve it!
Love your videos! I'm admiring your collection as well!
Thanks for the great vid, Phil!!
Also interested in seeing how the 58/15 LT pickups compare to these and the 85/15
Heck yeah Phil! Love your Prs content!
Super helpful. Was debating getting 58/15 LT's for my SC-58 but after hearing the 57/08's split I'm just going to add the push pulls and call it good. Thanks Phil!
Congratulations on the 300k subscribers Phil!
Thank you so much for doing this video.
Nice review. I really love the sound of the 57/08 pickups.
Thanks. Very informative and helpful.
Woohooo 300k !!!! Congrats Phil, and I ordered my shirts before to get the currant logo.
I like the 57/08 the most for the type of music I play. The price isn't too bad compared to my Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates in my Gibson SG.
Got the 59/09's in mine. I absolutely love these pickups and the more I play them the more I use my volume knob instead of switching channels to clean up
Good stuff man!
300k well deserved! Love these pup swap videos. Would love to see a SLICK humbucker or tele shootout :)
Congratulations on 300K. I love your channel. Great video as always. You were right that the name Metal wasn't right for the pick-up, but it sounds great. I would love to see some Thro Bak pick-up video.
Best gear channel ever! And IMHO best youtube channel period! Thanks Phil
300K u deserve it!!! congrats!!
i love your channel, very informative!🤘
That "snap-in" system is a great way to demo pickups! Thanks
Great comparison! I'd like to see & hear the 85/15 included in a future comparison video. Thanks Phillip 👍🏻
Awesome VIDEO!!! :) Thanks Phil.
Glad you liked it!
@@PhillipMcKnight Thank you Phil, I am on the hunt for a pre-owned Fender '68 Custom Princeton because of your advice, you are the best :)
Phil you are a Guru for me! Thank so much! 🤟🏻
PHIL, I AM enjoyingI your pickup video series more every time I get time to watch these. Definitely appreciate the choice to run the metal pick up into the classic amp AND the Engl amp, and then the other pickups in the Engl amp also.
I likely wouldn't have thought of a PRS pickup set for an upcoming build, it you MAY have just convinced me to try the out.
I'd really LOVE to see,/hear some of the EMG pups NOT the 81/85 or 81/89,sets that are, in some people's minds, what all EMG pickups are, and characterize all the EMG pickups as sounding like those pickups, which have a certain sound and are great at what they do, but they are not pick ups I use from that company. I'd REALLY APPRECIATE hearing the 67,/66 or 57/60, particularly with the "X," preamp variations, the, "A," AlNiCo variations, and the, "TW," splittable variants which have an actual single coil present.
I'd also REALLY APPRECIATE hearing the throwbacks like the HOT 70 or far 55 or doper 77, or variations of these, they also have a selection of many humbuckers they have a selection of P90 replacements that are single and double coil they have really an incredibly wide array of pickups and I think they would be great to explore.
I really like the 57/08 and the 85/15 as far as PRS pick-ups go. Another great video!
I love the pickup comparison videos. Hoping we’ll see filtertrons at some point!
Have been waiting for proper prs pickups comparison for a lomg time :).. I have 57/08s and they are the best pickups I know. I tried duncans, dimarzios, suhrs..
Great video with content I can relate to. This also helped me to understand the difference between alnico and ceramic pickups. On your live streams you mention that you're not that great of a guitar player. Dude, you are a super good player, for sure. You've got the chops. Thanks for the video, Phillip.
Congrats on hitting 300K!
Curious to hear a comparison involving SD Pearly Gates Plus
Congrats on 300K, new logo shirt incoming
I'd be interested to hear some railhammer pickups being compared if possible. And congrats on the 300k 😁
Hey man, it would be awesome if you did a pickup shootout that focused on humbuckers with accurate sounding coil splitting. Like, the PRS ones and P-rails and you can compare them side by side with legit strat and tele tones.
Hello Philip,
I love your work, thanks for sharing interesting knowledge and content with us all. I have a question: I want to change pickups on my guitar, I love the 57/08 neck, but hate the bridge.
As they are noted to have a low output, Is it possible to install a high output bridge pickup to use them together without having a significant volume drop ?
Thanks for your answer 🤟🏼
EMG H2 Ceramic passive pickups.
Once I installed these in my guitar it became my no.1. I play mostly metal on them.
For comparison, my other guitars are equipped with high output/metal pickups like the EMG 81/85, and Seymour Duncan pickups: Invaders, and Alpha + Omega set.
I want to get a PRS Core eventually but I always thought it would be another expense to replace the PRS Core pickups with the H2's so I thought maybe I would just get an S2 and get H2's. Comparing the H2's with PRS pickups would really help.
Congrats on the 300k subs!
thank you so much for making this video. I was asking riffs,beards, and gear about doing a review on the metal pickups after I saw the jupiter pickups video. You just completely read my mind and that is so freaking cool. I really hope we see the PRS store update the pickups available. About 10 years ago I had a guitar stolen that had McCarty pickups in them back when you could just order straight up McCarty pickups from their website. I miss them terribly and I haven't ever been able to find them since.
Great sounding combo.
I'd be really interested in seeing an active pickup shootout of some sort, honestly. Maybe different EMG sets, or like, Fishman Fluence Modern vs the classic open core models, any of those vs like, SD Blackouts or whatever, idk. Just ideas.
I have a \m/ Metal in the bridge and an SD SH2N neck in my Tremonti and they are a great combo for aggressive musical styles.
Love the metal pickups in my CU24 Floyd. Surprisingly versatile, did not expect that. In the comparison, the 57-08 also sounds great although less ‘fat’ sounding so the mixed set works really well.
Very cool video. I'd go with the 5708 in the bridge and the 5909 in the neck personally. Not a fan of ceramic mag pups, but that is just me.
I have three PRS guitars with different pickups. The pups in my 35th anniversary, TCI S are the best. The 245 S are warmer and also good but in the latest guitar it was 85/15, and I don’t like them at all. They are scooped and lack the mid tones I want for blues.
I bought a set from Irongear in UK, the Blues Engines and soldered them last week. They sound great and aren’t pricey.
Good video as always!
I came up with the same combo you did....thumbs up 300K. Phil, would love to see a pickup comparison of Old school aftermarket pickups ( Super Dist, Invader, JB, Dist etc) against each other ( pre 7 string boom). How viable are the old high output pickups that were meant to push an amp vs modern amp needs.
Phil love your videos as always, but I want to say thanks to Jean @ PRS as well
Phil, the world is a better place with you in it my friend.
Great video! You run the best guitar channel on UA-cam. I’ll tell you why. You’re honest! Brutally honest if needed. You listen to your followers as much as you can. You are very thorough in your reviews. You’re not into trying to make a movie like many guitar channels do. Their more worried about a fancy intro, etc. I’ve seen other channels that will accept an item from a company and they will praise it like it’s the best thing ever. Knowing it’s trash. As an example with no names... A little travel guitar that was clearly garbage and literally falling apart in the video but they played it off and kept going. They even promoted it saying viewers really should go buy one. I appreciate you very much. I appreciate how you tell companies up front that if you don’t like it, you will say you don’t but you have always gave a great explanation of why you don’t like an item. Most you tubers get so excited and caught up in all of the free stuff, they stop being real. So thank you for staying true. On another note, I purchased a fender players Strat last week. I love it but omg, the fret leveling was the worst by far that I’ve ever repaired. After hours of work and setup, I have it “almost” dialed in.
Wow that single coil mode sounds AMAZING. Could be your Fender amp pairs well. Nice playing!
Thanks - just got my pair of 59/09 after watching your vid.
What do you think of the 59/09 few months later? I waiting for my new PRS and it has these pickups
i knew that was going to be the combo!
Great stuff man. I have designed and have had a prototype pick-up made that I would love to see it demoed and/or compared. What do u guys think?
Hey Phillip, love your work. Btw have You ever tried a yamaha revstar? I don't remember seeing one on the channel
I have a PRS one off with 57/08s and luv them( also have 58/85lt, dragon IIs, DGT and 85/15 and a few other PRS’s 🤦🏼♂️😂) I have a ‘14 LP with Burstbuckers that I don’t like and have been thinking of putting the 58/08s in it, wired the same as my PRS. Thanks for the comparison witH the 59’s. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Very useful review. I recently bought a custom 24, swamp ash body, maple neck/fretboard/top, and it has a 59/09 bridge, 85/15 neck. I’m underwhelmed especially by the 59/09. I see it was put in as a midway compromise. They sound great clean and in all 5 positions, but just can’t drive an amp enough. I only dig them through the Friedman JJ Jr. I default to BKPs all the time, but I think I may try the PRS Metal set or Metal/57/08 combo before hand.
I have the 57/08 in my PRS and I like them best for the clarity. Coil split I can almost get a Tele sound but with a little more punch.
Great channel. I was wondering what you take is on the pickup poles not lined up with the strings. How does it effect the tone.
Love these pickup shootouts. I'd still really *really* like to see you demo/check out the Fishman Fluence SSS strat set. I'm very curious about those. I saw Greg Koch demo them, but everything he plays sounds amazing, so it's hard to know if it's just him haha. Plus he's endorsed by Fishman, so he's not going to say anything potentially negative.
Great comparison! I have the 57/08 bridge, the \m/ bridge, and HFS/VB set, and love them all. Any thoughts on less expensive neck options to pair with the 57/08 and Metal, I was thinking Seymour Duncan 59 or Jazz maybe? Thank you.
Hi Philip congratulations for your videos so professional and passionate. I find this one particularly cool 4me becouse I'm about to buy a couple of new pickups for my guitar. I play almost everything from blues to hard rock and some metal and I'm really battled between PRS 57/08 neck + PRS metal bridge vs SD '59neck+SD JB bridge. Which you' d advise to me (beyond price, I'll take it second hand). For me it's impossible to try all those as you know. Many thanks, Marco, Italy!
Nice cam update
Hey phil! I'd be interested on what you have to say about bareknuckle "Silo" pickup set.. also congrats on 300k subs! Cheers 🍺
The 57/08 are my favorite PRS pickups.
59/09 can get really close to a Telecaster.
Don’t ever let anyone discourage you from being yourself and keep doing what your doing just more of it!
You are simply the best in the business without even trying
Later man
It would be interesting to listen to both pickups on all the combinations.
On top of that, for people like me that has a guitar with two vol pots it is interesting to roll down one of the pickups, especially if one of them is in single coil...
Yea I def like the 57/08, been my fav since 2013 and I stand by them still! I’m gonna order a set for a homemade guitar.
Love to see the review of Suhr Doug Aldrich pickups. Even compared to the Thornbuckers
I would love to see comparison with Bare Knuckle pickups.
Your favorite combination brings to mind one of the earliest PRS pickup sets, the Vintage Bass and HFS set. I wonder how they would compare now?
Thanks for this review. Interesting to hear PRS pickups in another type of guitar. After this review I would definitely go for the 57/08 set or your custom set. But I prefer the clarity of the 57s.
I just installed VAUGHN SKOW pickups in my PRS... wow.. great. Highly recommend. Try them out
That split bridge on the Metal p'ups is awesome.
Also: At some point could you do a video on lipstick tube pickups? I doesn't have to be detailed like this one, maybe throw them into a comparison vid? Most people don't understand the how cool they are.
great head to head
Great video! Wow how did you swap those pups so quick? In general how does PRS compare with Gibson LPs?
I'd really appreciate a beginner's rundown of the core commonly available humbucker upgrades.. SD 59, JB, etc and what each offers
I'm thinking I'd really like the 57-08 neck and metal bridge combo mag swapped with UOA5s.
So funny and ironic, I spent my Saturday doing this with my 3 SE’s and I settled on my fav being 5909 bridge and 5708 neck but it may have been influenced by the kick ass look of it 😜
Id love to see a Dimarzio roundup. I’m not as familiar as id like to be. Have looked at the PAF vs 36th Anniversary before with interest
One of my favorite things about PRS pickups, is that they all have just the right amount of compression so you literally never need a compressor. You can hear it plain as day
Yesterday I installed a treble bleed into my guitar 💪
0.50€ for the resistors and capacitor, it was easier than expected to setup
Nice video can you do some of the les paul jr's.
Phil, what is your opinion of the PRS Dragon II set? I was fortunate to come across a set and installed it in my SE 245 that I modded with CTS 500K coil split pots for the tones and CTS 500K pots for volume as well. Thanks.
