This set sounds a bit dead to me, sounds over compressed to my ears

My surf green tele was a MJT body that was assembled by a local guitar repair shop. It had a chunky musikraft neck. The builder also reliced all the hardware and used Fender parts so it ended up a good example of a partscaster. My only dislike with it was the weight. I bought a MJT strat body and put together another partscaster myself. I used musikraft for the neck and went with a roasted flame maple, pearl dots and ss frets with a 7.25-9.5 compound radius. I picked out a reliced gold anodized pick guard and loaded it with kiesel pickups. It isn't quite as nice as my CS tele, but it is not much of a step down.

"Apparently it take 15-20 years"... lol, no doubt Joey, but you did it! All great guitars and pickups, very nice find on the Gold Top R4 CS! I've loved SGs from the 1970s but never owned one till a few years ago as a senior citizen. It's a walnut 24 fret 2018 Special with stock Gibson DeCola dual rail minis (Firebird covers over non magnetized rails with bar magnet under). DeCola dual rail minis sound kind of Firebird, kind of hot Telecaster, kind of P90. Narrow thin neck is easy on my arthritic hands, doesn't weight a ton. Also got my first set of P90s in Gibson Tribute Special a few years ago. Between those two guitars finally I have all the satisfying blues/rock tones I want. Can't believe i never did P90s long ago. Still, I'd like to get a '61 SG with Burstbucker 1 / 2 at some point if I can find a good deal on a used one in Canada.

I have been very happy with my (sunburst) Casino Coupe especially since I replaced the stock bridge with a Gotoh… I was getting buzz from the loose retainer spring n the stock bridge… also when I was adjusting bridge height, by mistake I had let the inner bridge pin come out above the height of the top surface of bridge itself and it was vibrating a little bit, screwing it back down and adjusting the bridge height only with the lower adjustment wheel, solved that problem. When playing at low volumes, hearing the natural resonance blend with the amplified sound, is very nice. It’s super comfortable playing seated. Sounds lovely unamplified when just noodling. One forum said: “The CC P90s are same as in a Casino… Did a search of Epiphone's site and this is what they say about the P90 Pro pickups; "Epiphone P-90 PRO™ single coil pickups have been designed and tooled from the ground up with new bobbins manufactured to historic dimensions, Elektrisola magnet wire, sand cast Alnico V magnets, and pole shoes manufactured using correct alloys to original classic Gibson dimensions. The new Epiphone P-90 PROs™ also have tin plated brass base plates like those used on 50s and 60s-era Gibson P-90 pickups."

It sounds like you said that the Strat has a "NATO" body. The subtitles also say that. Older Strats were always alder or swamp ash, as far as I know.

Arch tops acoustically project mostly midrange frequencies. It comes down to the fact that playing a flat top is going to sound more like listening to a good stereo and an archtop is going to sound more like a small transistor radio. It certainly sufficient to hear if you just want to get some quiet practice in, but I don’t find it a pleasant sound at all, and it doesn’t make me want to play when my sound is coming out like that.

I was obsessed with finding one of these guitars three or four years ago and eventually gave up hope, very similar to Joey's experience. The few I occasionally saw on Reverb were either outrageously expensive or had been butchered with mods. One popped up on Marketplace this Spring just an hours drive away. Mint condition, no mods, perfect. I've been playing it exclusively ever since. Absolutely love this guitar and the fact that the bigsby is problem free compared to others that I've owned. Squier knocked this guitar out of the park and I am so happy to finally own one.

I really enjoy your videos as I am considering the fat 60s and the pure vintage 59 pickups. Do you have a video comparing the two? Which would you prefer? Me, I play mostly clean but I do use overdrive and distortion on occasion. I'm looking to put a set in a 60s strat but I can't decide which set would be most versatile.

thank you Melody! right now i don't have a comparison vid for those.. but i can say that for me, i actually liked the vintage 59s a bit better.. i put them in my strat that used to have fat 60s.. 59s had just a little more snap and top end that i was looking for.. either way you cant go wrong tho.. both great sets

The Jag has a lot more mids - never realized that. Definitely really cool - thanks for the breakdown
This is a great demo of these pickups. There really wasn’t much of anything like this available before I got my ‘21 335, and this would have been a comfort. Granted, once I dove into the sounds in the guitar, I absolutely fell in love with the sound and abilities of these things. Dialing in the heights will be imperative, and once I got them set to my ears I can’t see ever changing these. Great work!
