Guthrie Govan's Charvel got a YJM pickup!

[@stefproton1418]

Nice video as usual ;) Just received my Charvel GG MJ this week I'm in love with it! and yes very versatile instrument, no doubt you can play metal with the bridge humbucker

Very interesting.The YJM pickup sound better for what you are useing it for as opposed to the stock GG wiring, Thanks for your time and hard work, I learned something new again on your channel,

Thanks so much for your feedback 🙏🎸😎

It’s a tough call. The YJM sounds great, just not like you imagine a middle pickup sounding

[@andrewslads]

The original is brighter , slightly thinner , more twang and much more bite . I have a set of yjm fury’s in my strat - good pickups but the yjm definately sounds more wooley , Would appeal to Gibson players . Preferred the Guthrie pickup here overall. The yjm lacks clarity , more Muddy

Thanks for sharing your opinion.

As I huge Guthrie fan, I really like his signature series. However, I wonder: how good is it for metal? What styles (except Guthrie style) is it capable of?

[@RockGuitarVibes]

I think Guthrie's guitar is pretty versatile - you can use it for any style. Metal on the bridge humbucker works pretty well 🤘😎

Personally I feel like if you pay this amount on a guitar you shouldn't have to mod it, though it did end up sounding better. Btw I'm sure you could transplant that brown plastic cover over to the new pickup, I wonder if it's held on by anything other than candle wax and a couple of screws.

True - however, the middle pickup alone is not available as default switching option. I've changed wiring to make this possible. So it's kind of my fault, the middle pickup doesn't seem to be designed to be used as a single pickup - see also my other video about the pickup wiring kzbin.info/www/bejne/laHWaXuYaJ2cg7c

Dude, I want that guitar! Is it true bypass? Are the knobs user friendly? Can It get me the famous EVH "negro sound?" Asking for a friend

[@RockGuitarVibes]

A brown sound is of course possible - knobs of the MJ model are more user friendly...

[@GeauxSaints121]

I think the original sounds better. The YJM has a duller sound
