I used a tig welder instead is that okay?

i did exactly this, and for some reason now both of my pickups don't make a sound. what did i do wrong?

This was exactly what I was looking for single wire to the 5 wires on a one volume two tone guitar. Excellent job, and thank you!

Very calming and understanding, im looking forward to building a dimebag guitar with two seymor duncan dimebuckers in and this video is old but better than the other videos

anybody hwo knows his song "your owned" or the likes? can someone direct me to that song anyhow? thx...

why the hell would you make the black wire hot, and the green wire ground. its always red wire hot, black wire ground. so stupid.

Now comes the adjustment screw? Which way should they face?

Well this clears everything up. Geez

❤❤❤❤

I just find this whole rotten apple series as trippy as hell😊

Only goes out of tune with a bigsby which makes them look ugly in my opinion so I got one without also the previous knobs are better looking. Amazing guitar.

Im getting dizzy how much for guitar center to put in my screaming demon?

This video helped me wire my first guitar, it was a Jackson js22-7 and pretty much I made a single volume, 1 pickup with a two way mini for coil splitting.

Actually in my experience it really matters. When the flat side of the saddle is faicing to the pickups, strings are brigther and I like the tone better. On the other hand, when the flat side is faicing to the tail piece, it loses a lot of shine and becomes rougher to play (plus, it tends to break more strings). This is in my experience. My luthier said that it really doesn't matter but I'm not agree. (Btw, this experience was in my Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Es-335 2023).

Are you from USA and do you still own that guitar (in your place)

7 years later and I still come back to watch this for a refresher. Thank you sir

how do i date my hondo 2 les Paul

WHERE is it now (Humbucker Diagrams) ???

I like 500k EVH Low friction pots so I can do volume swells, but they don't make split shaft versions for strats...what would be the equivalent? I need 500k split shaft low friction "speed" pots.

I’ve yet to find a video on KZbin that’s this good. I learned a lot about Seymour Duncan pickups and the process both. Thank you.

dude i thought i messed my whole guitar up glad it doesnt matter which way it faces

If Paul is dead,how did Faul get all his money and the wives and houses?

So the capacitor it's only at volume pot not at tone pot?

I have a univox custom electric guitar, I noticed inside the guitar, there's an original sticker that says, Univox custom series no. 111 it has a steal reinforced neck. This guitar is almost in perfect condition. Does anyone out there have any idea what this guitar is worth ?

Hi all, I have a couple of things that really can make things easier. First of all a correction, he refers tge outer coating on the red, white, black and green as "Shielding" that term is not really correct. It is insulation. Shielding is a term that hints that it protects from ground hum or buzz. Shielding is used to reduce noise ie: "Shielding Tape" The second item that saves a ton of frustration is before pulling wiring out after disconnection, I tie a light string to the wires so when I pull the wires thru it creates a pull string to pull new wires back when you put the new pickups in. Easy Peezy! Good luck to you and may your skills grow to Monster Proportions!

Dude said cell phone , nice

Thank you! I replaced both my neck and bridge pickups with ease and now fee way more comfort doing this to my other guitars. 🫶

11:30 when he swore it caught me so off guard cause he sounding like bob ross half the time😂

My brother had one of these!!! Bought it brand new! Don't remember what ever happened to it....

He died in his ego death... It looks like he's had some fun with the public over the years though 😂😅😅😅

got an ibanez art core vintage semi hollow with same issue will try this, thanks

Thanks for the vid. I just replaced the stock humbucker in my 8-string kit build with a Duncan Distortion humbucker and, considering that this was for a Seymour Duncan humbucker, I was able to follow this tutorial to the letter. My 8-string is a Tom Delonge-style setup: single humbucker with just a volume knob so the wiring is fairly simple. The hardest part was soldering the wires where they needed to go since I'm not exactly a wizard with a soldering iron. My solder joints aren't pretty but they got the job done.

What size capacitor for pearly gates?

Great video

Fantastic video, thank you sir!! Im super confident i can successfully change pups now..5 stars!!

His voice reminds me of mr lahey lmao 😂

Did you do a video on replacing the bridge pickup in that melody maker? I found this video while looking for a better bridge for a MM I just picked up and was wondering if you have to route or mod the pickguard for a strat pickup to fit.

Great video ,very well explained 👍

AWESOME VIDEO!!!

Hey Paul, I think you're cool. 👍 hope you are doing well - your bro

I know this is super old now, but man I couldn't have done it without this video... Well I probably could have, but not with the efficiency this helped me do it. I had 0 experiece soldering before doing this on my guitar, so I was a bit nervous to attempt to learn on my instrument. Super straight forward, best tutorial on soldering guitar pickups on this app.

Do you have the right wiring shematic please link ?

And how you flip saddles on bridge that got screw like that on that gold one? It cant be unscrewed totaly...it reaches the end and then game over. Or you can remove screw in some way...?

Почему мастера из Китая не захотели скопировать эту модель нормально, 24 дюйма, железные детали и другое ...

Outstanding video! I'm trying to put an SSV+ into the bridge of a super strat, and have no desire to do coil splitting with it. That said, there's virtually nothing out there, whether it be wiring diagrams or videos showing how to wire up a series bridge humbucker into a strat (that was previously an SSS). So, I'm simply working with two 250K tone pots and a 500K volume pot. I'm probably over-thinking it, but it would be nice to see it done visually. Suhr doesn't have a wiring diagram, and it seems to be opposite of my Bare Knuckle Pickups wiring diagram. So, I'm hoping it's the same wiring as the SD. Either way, I'm going to give this a try and see how it goes. This is a great video...thank you for posting!

Just boyght one of these myself for a submitted offer 😅 hopefully my kit is as good as yours

Did you have any issue with intonation? I have the black Les Paul Hondo and looks like it's probably about the same year as yours. Had not played the thing and probably 10 years and noticed issues and battling to get intonation right. I think I finally narrowed it down to whoever put it together in the factory did not accurately set the bridge. It is just slightly off. And also notice that the Honda does not angle the bridge as much as an actual Gibson Les paul.

I just got a hundred dollar one off ebay. 2015. It's also in great shape. I had to give the truss rod a tweak, because someone had it tightened a bit too much, so the neck had a reverse bow and fret buzzing at the lowest registers. I also raised the pickups a bit. I was going to do the P90 conversion, but it sounds surprisingly good as is, and it's a living room guitar anyway. Since I chose to keep the original humbuckers, I got some pickup covers (which literally came in today) as you did. A bit of research showed that the neck pole spacing can be either 49.2mm or 50mm..... 0.8mm is enough to not fit. Bridge pickup pole spacing is 52mm regardless. The only thing I don't particularly care for is that the finish is thick and doesn't look at all like real tobacco sunburst. Real tobacco burst was brown around golden ochre yellow, with the brown fading into the mahogany sides (I have a '54 ES125, and just got my friend's '59 Melody Maker). New ones are black over almost yellow orange. No complaints for the price and what it'll be used for. When my wife first saw it, she said it's beautiful (and it is). When I put it (and my Gretsch Electromatic) next to the vintage Gibson, she said "those look fake" next to the old one. BUT, it's a nice playing and sounding cheap guitar, so I'm happy with it.

1:35 Billy's beard comin loose He's fixin it

Any sounds?
