@@tjnilsen Yeah, it's weird. The price of some pickups, and at the end of the day, quite often, not a substantial difference, at least to my ears.

I am by no means a great guitarist but I have been searching for a tele, the only one I ever bonded with years ago was a black Nash…. They make great teles, I wish they would do non-relics.

sorry don't get the whole relic / weathering thing, seems a little stupid. Its like taking your new born baby and trying to make them look like grandma. What happens in 20 years with your relic. will it been in worse shape then a real naturally aged 20 year old guitar? If you are a buyer what are you going to do? Buy a normally aged 20 year old guitar or a 20 year old guitar that was already aged to be 40 years old. Its stupid makes no sense why you would create an relic guitar unless your just someone who want to get more dollars out of something that is really not what it really is. Sit and have a long think about this. other than novelty what good does it do?

Many would consider Peter Florance Voodoo TE50s as holy grail pickups. On top of that, Dan Strain carefully matches pickups to each guitar he builds (see his interview with Ask Zac), so he thought the TE50s were the best pickups for this guitar (though maybe Ron Ellis pickups were not available when this guitar was made). Bottom line: I would not expect a dramatic improvement going from TE50s to Ron Ellis pickups, in fact, I'm not sure I heard any improvement at all. I would add, lastly, that to call Peter Florance pickups "factory" pickups belittles his memory.

I have a more modern strat (2023) and I am really trying to get it to have that vintage tone. Do I just straight up swap pickups? Mine is “too clean” or too bright for a strat in my opinion.
@tjnilsen 2 ай бұрын
Hey. Thanks , and great question. So one option in my opinion would be to try and replicate some of the compression and eq via an eq and boost pedal , like I did. You could also swap pickups. Depending on what you are going for , something like rocket fire true 60’s pickups could work really well, as could some Ron Ellis 60’s pickups. The Ron Ellis pickups have a great openness and low end like a vintage pickup, but seemed to lack a little upper harmonic content (in my experience of a few sets). Your main aim is to recreate the bold low mids, and the high mid harmonic content. That’s my 2 cents.

I traded my new Gibson 74 335 for a 1957 Rickenbacker 4000 bass. I’ve never regretted that because although I loved the 335 in the studio, it was annoying as hell when it fed back on stage in the 70s, when of course we played pretty loud. That Gibson 337 guitar might be perfect for me.

Did...did you just make a tone demo with nothing but constant playing, demonstration of tones broken up into logical chapters, using two polar opposite style guitars in order give us the broadest possible impression of the amp in the most efficient way possible? Where's the three-minute long anecdote at the beginning about how you first heard a sound in the 90s, when your father took your cousin's wedding and the band there was mostly forgettable but the tone of the guitarist was something that always stuck in your head and you've spent your entire life since trying to capture it? Where's the five-minute preamble about how and why you're testing this? Why haven't you scattered the tone demos across various "funny", forced-high-energy ramblings? Where's the fake outs and clickbait? I'm scared. Scared and confused.

This is not a strike at prs (they are my favorite guitar). The private stock is more about having a specially crafted wand. It doesn’t mean it does anything mysteriously different. I think a lot of players think more $ means it just keeps getting better and better. You can get different woods used on some of the private stock on other core models as well and it’s the same sound. It’s about preference and discovery. To me ziricore is simply the best on a fingerboard and the fatback is like the unlocking of a different realm. Korina might be common to some but a Dean USA I was tried was a guitar unlike anything I’ve ever played since. I guess what I’m trying to say is there’s a lot of ways to have a unique experience to your preferences and that most people mistake what the private stock is by thinking that it’s going to sound better just because of the extra dough. A lot of them sound just like the other cores and people don’t realize it. If I were to ever flat out purchase a private stock it would be for the customized look and wood combinations to a specific spec.
