Are the pots on the Thomann site the exact same ones you used? I want to make sure the shafts will be long enough to come through the wood top. By the way, did you know you should never use an electric drill on a guitar? You should use a hand reamer. The drill could ruin the guitar, I know because I ruined a Gibson that way.

I have the SC version of this, with the same pup. Only mod I've needed was to fit a 3mm shim under the dogear (as there is no adjustment except the pole screws). Height is now at the sweet spot and more output for less effort. Also seems to balance out the sound too (flatter frequency response on an oscilloscope). I have other HB guitars (Teles and LPs) but this is now my "go-to" player.

Got the same HB in Benton blue with white pickguard about a year ago. Wonderful guitar for a low price, love it to death, but with a little drawback: after a while of playing I noticed that the guitar picked up much more hum from the surrounding electricity installation than other guitars when used with a higher gain setting on the amp. It seemed to get worse when I touched the strings with a carbon pick. Being an electrical engineer I researched the issue and found a difference in the HB design compared to a regular Junior: the latter has a grounding wire from one of the screwed-in bridge posts to the pickups which the HB version doesn't have. This keeps the strings from having a floating potential versus the pickups which causes the strings to work like antennas. Seems HB took a short cut in manufacturing and didn't mount a wire - when I added it back in, all the extra hum was gone. (Admittedly, it's a P90 so the pickup will still produces some hum naturally.) Small mod but totally worth the effort.

​@@stilllifewithguitar184I unfortunately just own one guitar of that style and haven't had the privilege to open the pickup cavity on others. I saw the grounding wire on some YT maintenance video of the original Gibson Junior and figured it might be worth trying (and it helped). If you want to, when changing strings, unscrew the P90 on the HB model and see if there is any wire from the P90 ground going to the bridge within the cavity.

That's what I was thinking. While CTS pots are generally recognised to be "better" than alpha, full sized alpha pots are still decent quality, so I assume the more usable tone control comes from the 50s wiring.

I was thinking the same. If I got one of these guitars I would likely swap the pickup for a Gibson or Seymour Duncan or something... maybe the Lollars, depending on what's easily available. The 50's wiring wasn't to my liking when I tried it on one of my Gibsons, but in this guitar it might be the biggest improvement you can make.

It’s an awesome guitar to play and I’m always surprised who much you can change the tone with the single P90. This loves my Peavey Head and 2X12 stack.

The pickup might sound bit brighter due to different value of pot you used for 50s wiring. Very cool sounds overall, though personally I think the wiring change itself would be good just by itself, I am joining the others saying Roswell pickup sounds terrific in comparison to the Lollar. And I am not saying "for the price", cause it can clearly keep up with boutique product, so it's just good

I agree. The wiring and messing with the height and you're there in my opinion. I've decided not to drop hundreds anymore on pickups. Unless they're truly bad. I have a Fralin HB and it's the worst of the HBs I have. If I'm going to buy a new HB I go for Brandonwound. Boutique for Duncan prices.

Hallo Sascha, danke für das nützliche Video! Es hat mich davor bewahrt einen Lollar Pickup zu kaufen. Stattdessen habe ich den Serien-PU 3 mm höher gelegt. Ich hatte noch ein ca. 2 mm höheres Dog Ear Cover. Die Pole Pieces haben dann noch einen weiteren mm gebracht. Der Sound hat davon hörbar profitiert. Die Serien-Bridge habe ich durch eine einteilige Harmony Bridge ersetzt (mit kompensierter Saitenauflage, ähnlich PRS). Ich glaube, mehr kann man aus der DC-Junior kaum rausholen. Die Mechaniken fühlen sich etwas billig an, daher kommen jetzt noch die Kluson Deluxe Tuning Machines dran, in Nickel, passend zur Bridge. Auch bei meiner Junior waren der Fret Job und der Sattel perfekt ausgeführt! So etwas habe ich bisher noch bei keiner neuen Gitarre erlebt, außer bei meiner Gibson ES 335, die 15x so teuer war und die "geplekt" wurde (CNC-Bearbeitung von Bünden und Sattelkerben).

Cool sounds from such an unexpensive guitar! I'm surprised how good the Roswell PU sounds in comparison to the much more expensive Lollar. In my opinion the modification of the electronics (50s wiring, pots, capacitor) is quite the way to improve the sound of this guitar for a small amount of money. Actually I'm thinking about buying one of these and replacing the P-90 with a PAF to make it a real Rock'n'Roll beast. But that's just my personal taste. On the other hand the clean tones of the P-90 are absolutely awesome. Great video, especially for the comparison!

I took mine over to a friends last night and we compared it to my 2011 Gibson gold top 60s tribute with mods (Lollar P90, 50s wired CTS pots, bubble bee caps, ABR1 bridge). The HB won. My stock electronics have perfect function. Most inexpensive guitars have pots that are on or off. I have and have had some nice high end stuff. I am embarrassed by how much I love this guitar. It has an amazing playability that I cannot figure out why. The neck is similar to the Gibson. It just sounds great. I did change the the bridge, but nothing else. Your mods sound great. I would be terrified to change anything else on mine. It sounds so good as is. My 14 year old son who is my never shows interest in my guitars, came down the other day and said “that new guitar sounds better than any of others”

You lucked out with drilling bigger control hole, but you risk chipping the top with a drill. Using a tapered reamer is way safer. The stock pickup didn't sound to bad. The Lollar was more articulate on single note playing though. Very clear sounding. I just ordered the same guitar in Pelham Blue and will probably do the same surgery on mine.

I really like my HB DC Junior. I shimmed up the pickup and its better than the stock position but it didn't make a noticeable difference vs raising the pole screws to the same height. The only thing I did that made a noticeable difference was replacing the stock bridge. I couldn't get it low enough and I didn't like the way if felt when palm muting. ...and I had a couple high frets that became apparent when I lowed the action that I knocked down. Its a really nice guitar now.

Maybe a switchable wiring schematic could be a good thing, with 2 different caps in the circuit, the tonal options would be a lot greater, there is not much room in the cavity though so a PCB might have to be employed. Are the original pots Alpha's? I thought the tonal range of the Loller pickups was much better, especially at lower settings, they were not muddy like the Roswells.

I can honestly say I do not hear a discernable difference between the stock and the mods. Do I think the mods represent an improvement? Yes... but it is mostly a mental thing much like the placebo effect. I think if you were to A/B this guitar with 20 people in a blind setting, about half would go one way and the other half would like the other. All that being said, I do think the mods are worthwhile because of that placebo effect. The knowledge that you have something you think is far superior is actually a big deal. Look at how many swear by spending silly money on a Gibson when we all know it is not logical.

I tried a friend's 2 pickup 290 with Lollar soapbars and it was brighter than the Roswell although far hotter. I also shimmed up the Roswell and that helped the level and fatten things up a bit. I put a MojoAxe solid compensated stop bar on and that made a big difference. The stock Wilkinson isn't bad but part of these guitars is how the strings couple to the body.

The only difference I hear is the lollar has alittle more bright tone more treble so to speak but not that noticeable and maybe just a tad more sustain that's about it as far as output pretty much the same however when you add alittle more high end and sustain it does make a difference in the long run I suppose, I have a harley Benton dc 400 the cheaper sg style guitar sells I put a dragon fire phatt screamer in the bridge ut reads about 15 ohms it's really hot and with 500k pots that are in the guitar already you talk a mean sounding machine its got some thump in it you can feel it but dragonfire pickups are really cheap and sound great I put them in nearly all my guitars I also have a harley benton s620 put a dragonfire phatt pickup in it as well and my harley benton hh 20 tele style guitar yeah the all have dragonfire phatt pickups in them they have a bunch of sustain and kinda more midrange tone just sound great in my opinion and the dragonfire phatt pickups are about 40 us $ so not that much and you can hear the difference for sure if you do use the dragonfire phatt screamer pickup they work best with 500k pots with a capacitor that allows alittle treble bleed I believe mine is orange which I got off Amazon for around 8 $ my harley benton s620 already had the same so I left it in the guitar but you can get a variety of tone by just changing the capacitor without doing anything else you just have to experiment on stuff and when you finally get your tone it gives more drive to play and you come with riffs you would have never thought of kinda like Eddie van halen did he was always chasing tone much like all of us guitar players do I'm still chasing thinking of what to do next in my tone chase,good video though take it easy be safe and rock on my friend

You can't hear much difference in the pickups. That means Roswell sounds good and you've thrown money out the window.

Warum lineare Pots? Ich dachte immer, log pots wären üblich und lineare nur in billiggitarren

Don’t remove knobs the way he did with a screwdriver. Look out here in YT, you’ll find many proper ways to do so.

Also if you’re going to cut metal with metal scissors, don’t do it over the guitar cavities.

That’s something that everyone has to decide on his own. I think it’s worth it, but maybe the 50s wiring with the stock pickup sounds pretty good as well :)

Lollar 120 usd vs 10 dolar Roswell, no 12 times better.

There is almost no difference. Cheap Chinese pickups are now much better than before. Brands like Roswell, Fleor, Oripure, etc are no different from expensive brands.
