Putting painter’s tape in the neck pickup cavity to help site the drill holes is such a great tip - thank you!

[@murpsman]

Thanks for showing how to install the neck pickup.

how does it sound?

[@russwood127]

Your content is always fantastic. Thanks for helping me learn more effective guitar repair and upgrade techniques. And thank you again for the pickup gauges from a while back, just finished using them on my Classic Vibe Tele, they make adjusting quick and easy.

[@ManotickGuitarTech]

Awesome, Russ... good to hear from you!

This was helpful. I’m planning to install these pickups on a Squier Tele. I wish the video spent more time on connecting the wires and soldering.

I just got this set. I just have a complaint regarding the pickups been too microphonic. Was it for you as well?

[@ManotickGuitarTech]

The owner of the guitar liked them...

[@MrShowman92]

@ManotickGuitarTech did you also find them microphonic?

[@ManotickGuitarTech]

@@MrShowman92 don't know... that was like 2 years ago

Very helpful video. Question - can you install these on Telecasters, like the MIM Player, where the neck pickup attaches to the pickguard? Or do you need to replace the pickguard too?

[@ManotickGuitarTech]

You probably can, drill some holes, make sure the screws are long enough and get some rubber bushings. Don't drill until you ha e checked all of the parts, first😁

Why do those PU's cost so damn much?

[@ManotickGuitarTech]

They do seem pricey
