DOES IT TWANG? - Fender Custom Shop '51 Nocaster Pickups | Fender '52 AVRI Telecaster

[@nigelwoodhouse2073]

Excellent demonstration, not just someone showing how fast and how many notes they can play.

[@JulianDaniels]

Thank you so much :)

[@vonkorf2665]

I completely agree with that!

[@jerrybrown4671]

I put these in a 2008 Mexican tele and just love them. My go to guitar now. I play mostly country and they're good for me.

[@mrgitarman]

Nice job and nice playing. Not overdone and clear sounds

[@christophelaurenzati6580]

very good demo ! '51 Nocaster Pickups is perfect !

[@daysleeper3910]

Thanks for taking the time to do this.... Im just waiting for my set to arrive and hoping that they sound as good as the examples here when I use them!.

[@lazvt8469]

Love mine....but not quite as much as my Lollar Special T's ...but as much as my Fralin Blues Special. Dropped them into a CV50 and a couple Harley Bentons (same set). Nice touch. The Nocasters are easier to find used....got a mint set for $140 (normally $219, circa June 2024).

[@melechpery4418]

good stuff man. GREAT sound quality.

[@peteschork9461]

i kinda love em. a certain warmth to em.

[@zettepix2009]

Awesome beautiful playing and helpful comparison. Thanks.

[@JulianDaniels]

Thank you so much for your comment. Appreciate a lot.

[@davekellum6845]

That was some beautiful playing.

[@Maxime_Grimault]

Thats exactly how i play my tele top ! Looking for those picks to put on my MIM tele black finish 😏

[@jetjock64]

Nice playing. Love the drone behind the lead lines.

[@runnningonempty]

DEFINITELY SOLD ON THE NOCASTER BRIDGE PICKUP..TORN ON THE NECK WITH THE TWISTED TELE..GREAT DEMO THANKS

[@kevgh3869]

I agree. Trouble is I can't find anyone who sells them separately so we are looking at buying two sets.

[@charlesm7646]

I’ve just put Twisted Teles in my guitar and yes - I really don’t like the bridge pickup at all. & I hate how the middle position sounds - really flimsy. Going to buy a set of Nocasters and see how it sounds with the TT in the neck & the NC in the bridge.

[@craiglush443]

You could get a set custom wound to the spec of a nocaster bridge and a twisted tele neck. There is a local guy where i live makes some of the best pickups your will ever hear. Great guy to deal with and will make what you want www.vineham.com/index.html . Craig Vineham of Vineham Pickups in Canada. Great prices too.

[@MyTwangyGuitar]

Yes indeed, she twangs...

[@starbuck94LT1]

Subscribing! Sweet playing Julian, thanks! Gorgeous Telecaster, fabulous tone. Tell us more about your tonal setup. Just ordered my Nocaster.

[@bradfuller84]

Got a set of these in mine. Go to sound for sure 🤘🏼

[@stuartmercer3096]

I like ...I own too many great guitars but my MIM tele looks like it lived in a flooded basement and after replacing the pots etc one pup is not working...soooo... nice demo...

[@nickf9392]

Trying to decide between CS 51 Nocaster or CS Texas Special pick ups. I dig the snap and twang of the Tele bridge, but it must be able to do classic rock as well, both crunch and lead. Thoughts, recommendations?

[@JulianDaniels]

I think I would go for the Texas Specials. The Nocaster sound great but the output is a bit too low for rock stuff imo.

[@nickf9392]

@@JulianDaniels I did in fact go with the Texas Special in the bridge, and its a great PU, it does all the classic Tele sound and does have a convincing edge with overdriven amp. Just one issue that it does have, high pitch squeal when played with higher levels of volume and gain. So, I will be trying the usual things to correct that. Hopefully I will get that resolved, as I really want to keep this PU in this guitar. Thanks for the reply!

[@nicolasbolattieberhardt1127]

Awesone pickups but too expesinve nowadays. Is there any similar? DiMarzio twang king maybe?

[@dominiqueguegandomsongs5014]

It does !

[@VwecEfgytkgtehryjtub]

Do you still like these pickups after you had them for a while?

[@JulianDaniels]

They are good. But not very good imo. I find the neck pickup a bit too quiet and maybe a bit strat-like. i would like to test some more pickups, especially those Bare Knuckles. But buying pickups after buying pickups can be very expensive :)

[@innerpull]

i thought the twisted tele neck pickup was supposed to be strat-like. so how would you compare these to the twisted tele pickups? im trying to decide between them but i cant find any back to back comparison demos, so im just collectively hearing as many as i can from either. im wanting big twang and rich depth.

[@JulianDaniels]

I never tried out the twisted neck. But the Nocasters have a lot of twang.

[@davidsiegeld576]

@@JulianDaniels IMHO -- I thought a little more than 5 minutes in, the leads on the neck pickup sounded great cutting right through the mix. Just saying.

[@me-bk9er]

great pups!! I put a set in my CV tele

[@JulianDaniels]

Sure, they absoluteley sound amazing. But for my taste they are quiet weak. I'll try the Lollar Special Ts in the next couple of month.

[@me-bk9er]

Julian Daniels its ironic you mention lollar..lol. because im wanting to replace my 490R / 498T in my les paul for a pair of their humbuckers

[@tcarbonimusic]

How do they sound in your CV? Do you like them better than the stock pickups?

[@me-bk9er]

@@tcarbonimusic totally better..later on i did swap the neck for a dimarzio 36th in the neck

[@tcarbonimusic]

@@me-bk9er I like the sound of the stock pick ups in my classic vibe but I’m thinking of putting in a set of nocasters. Thanks for your input.

[@NiftyPlymouth]

Nice and chilling video, perfect😎👍

[@cleanmike7312]

51 nocasters better than v mod pickups ?? Shopping for my 1st telecaster. Great playing!! Thanks for sharing that!!!!

[@Topsy_Krett]

I have a American Professional Tele (with V-Mods) and I am not entirely happy with them. The overall tone is good but the use of Alnico 2 magnets under the E-B-G strings makes them sound a bit dull and mushy. I wish they would have just used Alnico 5 in all the magnets. Love the guitar though.

[@stefan3033]

@@Topsy_Krett Same situation here. Love the Am Pro in general but I have switched to twisted tele in the neck and nocaster 51 in the bridge. Now I absolutely love it :)

[@stuartmercer3096]

Although would appreciate your signal chain and amp ;)

[@JulianDaniels]

Just the guitar with the amp and a slight Reverb coming out of the G System.

[@Magnetfeltet]

These or the N4's??? :( They both sound good to me!

[@kevgh3869]

No they are not. They are 51 Nocaster like it says in the title of the video. N4 are Noiseless fourth generation. Noiseless pick ups are dead sounding.

[@marcospintor1333]

Kev G H they were asking which are better. Get some new reading glasses grandpa.

[@charlesm7646]

What pedals are you using for your dirty sounds?

[@JulianDaniels]

I'm just using my ENGL Invader II without any pedals at all.

[@VintageRadius]

Nice demo. Have you tried the Fender pure vintage 64 pickups? If so, any thoughts in general or on how they compare to nocaster?

[@JulianDaniels]

I never tried them. But I think they rather sound better with rosewood fretboards.

[@connorruggles8740]

They have just a bit more midrange, and if you think of 80-90s country twang vs 60s country twang, that’s more how those will sound. These will do the 60s twang really well

[@thelastcat8406]

what happens if i put these to squier tele? can i get some satisfyin tones ?

[@JulianDaniels]

Kawaki Deidara Yes, you should get overwhelming tones out of a Squier.

[@thelastcat8406]

@@JulianDaniels 😀😀 thanks for the answer sir , its just american fenders are way too expensive in my country cause of the taxes, so i m tryin to find a way out for somethin sound satisfyin with a low budget..

[@bigrichxl91]

are those shorts or pants?

[@JulianDaniels]

Big Rich Jeans shorts :)

I feel that the juice is not being extracted

[@yahaguitars]

Cool!

[@JulianDaniels]

Thanks, maybe we will see us at the next Musikmesse 2017?

[@john-zw9rw]

Dude , you put your ole lady's pants on...

[@PedalPoopers]

Does it twang? Ummm... Not with you playing it!!

[@JulianDaniels]

So kind!

[@ochomarvo7189]

Nice playing but those Gay jeans have to go ! Someone should have told you. .

[@JulianDaniels]

Yes right. Thanks for the advice. 🤣

[@muddycreek-b2]

Back in the '60's they were called "clam diggers". Lol! And only women wore them... hell, I don't think men even wore shorts in those days.
