GIBSON Les Paul Custom. Pickup swap and bone nut. 🤘

[@geraldpinkerton6412]

I’m proud of you dude. You were gonna half ass it & not take the hardware off the front so you could buff it properly, but your conscience got the best of you! I knew you’d do the right thing! 😅

[@kyleauran7910]

Thanks for all the excellent content. Keep doing what you do! 🎸

[@princefan2million]

I’m a newer subscriber and when you were talking about the caps I was like 👀.. then I was relieved when I realized you were being sarcastic. I don’t know your humor yet. Ha! Great work!

[@HarryK-HK]

She's a beauty. Well done. Merry Christmas Bosch Maestro.

Nice video to relax and unwind to. Wish I had a teacher like you to walk me through getting comfortable working on guitars. As a musician who plays mostly on the weekends, grabs his checks and has so much free time in the week, I’m itching to learn. Only thing really stopping is I need the proper tools and I keep spending all my money on guitars. Lol Maybe once I’m done purchasing my gold top I’ll start getting some proper tools. Well done video

[@Gorillaguitarrepair]

Thanks! I really appreciate that!!

[@thefilthygringo9228]

Love the burstbuckers in my 50’s Les Paul standard and I only use Ernie ball strings!

[@vinniesworld459]

It's always neat to watch what others put in their guitars. Frankly, I never heard of Black Cat pickups until today, but this video taught me something new (seems like he's got some rockstars that go to him for work too)! Happy Holidays!!

[@pedraw]

on Gibson pickups they denote neck pup with an R. Bridge with a T. Black cat guitar pickups info says they're from Georgetown, MA.

[@Schwig]

So... We're customizing the Custom by putting stock pickups in?

[@brettbunke9096]

What gift for the holidays a long form vid !

[@JimmyBurkard]

Nice meeting you at the MGL Party! I hate the stupid string locking too!

[@admtatro1]

Merry Christmas to the wizard!

[@doctoribanez]

Merry Christmas man

[@markdalton6662]

I know it's none of my business but you really shouldn't use power tool's to tighten up screws because it can Crack the lacquer , i just bought a Gibson explorer and it had cracks coming from the pickup surrounds because of power tool's

[@TheMyrkr]

He has talked about this in previous videos. I dont remember which video it was or the exact quote. But hes been doing this for a long time, knows what hes doing, is careful and it saves him a lot of time.

[@Gorillaguitarrepair]

How do you know it was from someone using a power tool? Did you see them do it or are you assuming that's what happened?

[@brettbunke9096]

Going to be a bit of a rant here and it’s nothing towards you sir so please don’t take it that way . Gibson and Fender sadly now are just huge companies who don’t care at all about what they put out they only care about $ and getting by on name alone both there quality control is almost nonexistent these days and yes you have to be very careful with power tools . The Gorilla has been using power tools on my guitars for years and no issues whatsoever. He’s got the Bosch touch!

[@HarryK-HK]

You obviously know what you're doing. Disregard the peanut gallery. Merry Christmas. 🎄

Ceramic capacitors can be a little microphonic, especially the surface mount types, all other dielectrics will be pretty much the same as far as audio frequencies are concerned. The ceramic material is a type of high dielectric constant piezo type material. How do I know? I have heard them squeak when subjected to rapid voltage changes and seen the oscilloscope traces when they are tapped while having a d.c. voltage across them. Keep up the good work :)

[@Csharpflat5]

Sunny here in Georgia low country

[@3Telecasters]

I just looked those pickups up and they run $190 USD each. Pricey.

[@treishtrei]

what solder do you use

[@brettbunke9096]

Those Black Cat pickups are way better then the pickups they had you put in and yes both are the guitar an pickups are made by Chris T he’s obsessed with classic Gibson pickups right down to the materials they are made of an I bet a million bucks that guitar is a one pickup LP jr style

[@suzydelacroix2588]

You put the bridge on backwards.

[@willhaylock3769]

ooooops

[@Gorillaguitarrepair]

The saddles are supposed to be angled back towards the tailpiece. I corrected it. 🤘

[@clarkeblacker]

You do know that you could have just bought gold covers from Seymour Duncan and put them on the pickups. It would have been a lot cheaper, all other things being equal.

[@jeffsquires6620]

Minus 35 in my town yesterday. My les Paul custom is put away till spring.

[@alainmalo3791]

Pourquoi ,🤔 changer les micros ? d'origine 490R/ 498T c'est les même ! avec les capots.

[@jltrem]

Odd, I thought nylon was preferred.

[@Bob_at_OZDiggzguitars]

I find myself saying "That's what SHE said" a lot to the computer screen while watching your videos...

[@bobmanners8624]

No Ernie Ball!?

[@reddsshaker3477]

That’s a horrible nut replacement. 😬

[@askaryanpulse5755]

People put nice caps in BECAUSE THEY HOLD THERE VALUE LONGER!! Wow, i seriously can't believe you don't realize that... Perhaps you'll be the kind of person who recognizes they're wrong and learn, or not... Nonetheless, I've watched enough of your videos to know I would never let you touch one of my instruments. Good day, sir!

[@the-creech4790]

It's missing a pick-up!!!

[@caseyfreeman3994]

Another name brand guitar owner spending money on their guitar trying to get a better sound lol another reason why I love my Chibson

[@BlueberryStinkFinger62]

Gibson = yawn... Epiphone rules the Roost once again like they did in the good o'l days...

[@Gorillaguitarrepair]

Well, someday you'll be able to afford one. Keep saving!
