Making A Cheap Set Of P90's Awesome!

[@TheGuitologist]

Nice job Cathy! I love that "tick" on the leading edge of the notes. Great demo, Trey!

[@TreyShreddings]

Thanks Brad!! Cathy really made these come to life!

Thanks Brad! 😊

Thanks Trey! 😊

Watching stuff like this is therapeutic.

[@alansamples325]

No drama, no politics, no b.s. outside of people's opinion on guitars. Which can turn dramatic quite..lol

[@zubeystinzen540]

I love it when Cathy shows Sean whos the boss😂😂 ❤

[@davidfields5611]

Y'all are my favorite KZbinrs. Love both y'alls shows! Watch everything y'all do. Keep up the great content guys!

They are a cute couple...sorry about Hammy.

[@brianphelps1183]

Over here to see the follow up, nice work Cathy. Great playing Trey we all do the same tired licks!!!

[@Bbbbad724]

Cathy, since I can’t see and don’t know eBay. My wife says when you have a pair of Almico 5 Humbuckers, can you let us know and she can get on there and get them. I can’t see well and I’ve never used eBay. Or, if you make a set we would be glad to buy them directly. Thank you! I have my Tele and a 12 string Epiphone acoustic for now. I love what yall are doing. I just want a pair of Humbuckers for my Strat. And take your time. !

[@alansamples325]

You all are just good people.. I really enjoy watch both of your channels. Hope they grow and grow.

[@TreyShreddings]

Great job Cathy you really made those pickups come to life

[@debbiedyson638]

I love watching you wrap. It is very interesting how you build your pickups. Good job.

[@MashaT22]

Great job! I know ceramic magnets are cheap, but surely there must be a better cheap alternative . . . like fridge magnets, maybe . . . ?! 🤔😂😉 Excellent demo from Trey!

[@ChristopherRollins-s7l]

Cathy, you are amazing! Just a quick tip for your rewinds- use an iron to heat the magnets and soften the glue! Those ceramic magnets will chip off with a vengeance and the fragments can be super sharp, not to mention a flying tip broken if your cutting blade!

[@edwilson7629]

Cathy, please keep your spirits up. You're doing great!!!

[@BackWoodsBillyCraftBeerReviews]

Awesome job Cathy I saw Scared My Guitar Video First... Personally I love ceramic pickups for heavy metal. They have more aggressive tone.. for clean tone yes Alnico.. Theses nothing wrong with making mistakes that's how you learn. Eddie Van Halen Won a Piano competition as a kid without understanding music theory. Classical piece... He experimented & practiced & became one of the best guitarist of all time... The pickups are awesome...

[@davidsummerville351]

This is really interesting stuff. A welcome addition to my guitar views. Would love an episode of the whole factory and machinery that you guys use. Thanks

[@eddieglenn322]

Kathy you rock that's the best p90's I think I've ever heard!

[@ottovonnekpunch1268]

Damn! Cathy's P90 re-winds are SCREAMING and super quiet, too! Kudos and hats off to you, Cathy! 💯

[@brianjones4026]

Lady your pick,ups are Dope, any fool with ears can hear that ! Great Work indeed !

[@3cardmonty602]

Cathy’s pickups kick ass!

[@icarusi]

I once rewound a microphone balun transformer. The mic wasn't mine and I'd looked inside it. The balun fell out and snapped off its tags. I replaced the tags with panel pins. I reeled off the wiring on to a sewing machine spool, then spooled it back, all using a model electric motor I had at the time, that I set in a jig for the spool and transformer. It was all the size of a sugar cube, with *very* thin wire. To my surprise it worked 1st time but I wouldn't want to do it again.

[@dritt-drittpaniagua739]

Wow Cathy! I love the tone. It's Grand Master Cathy!

[@OttoVonRaz]

I love watching you both working together to make "cheap" guitars sound amazing. Keep it up, you have a new subscriber to both channels.

very interesting seeing pickups made. good job

[@earnestmatlock9694]

Those pick-ups turned out awesome 👍 . Great job, Scared nation on the roll👍.

[@timmackenzie8145]

Holy great job on those pups!!! That guitar sounds awesome now! Sweet playing Trey. When you start to, I’d love to get a dog eared P90 for my Westcreek DC, especially if you guys try and do a noiseless P90. No rush or nothin’, just if n’ when.

[@ericcartwright5724]

They sold out fast. I like what both you guys do. God bless

[@jckelley10]

Those pickups sound great!

[@jimcamp2423]

Crazy that the DCR on the originals were 15Kish, ceramic magnets & heavier gauge wire (40 Gauge). If it helps any as a general frame of reference for P90s, the Neck is 8.2K & Bridge 9.3K with what others claim as Almico V magnets for the Epiphone P90s on my LP Special I. No idea what the gauge wire those have. The Gibson P90s are +/-8K'from what I recall their specs as indicated. Team Scar for the save & win for this Indio teardown & rebuild. Trey sounded great as usual for the test drive & lap around the track. There's another P90 pickup product out there, Wolftone P90, that come in mean, meaner & meanest options for DCR/wind counts.

[@PaulMihelic]

Made that guitar do its thing after winding those pick ups and swapping the magnets. Great job..

[@thefiqhtgame138]

Doing a great job Cathy! 🎸

[@DMSProduktions]

VERY nice y'all Kathy! Sound like some of the BEST P90s! \m/

[@taggartreid9408]

Great pickups and great guitar playing. Thank you all

[@TimRock1269]

Those rewound P90's sound great! You did an awesome job!

[@GratefulBamboo]

I will never make pickups, but am happy to learn how its done. One thing Ive learned is its probably better to have a real person make them than in a faceless factory in a far away land.

[@johny3barr]

Those Are Some Sweeeeet Soundin Pickups Cathy & I Knew Sean Was Gettin Bonked 🤯🤕🤣 As Always Have a Great Evening Sean, Cathy, & Everyone Scarred ... Live Free or Die, From Pew Hampshire !!!

For someone who claims not to know what she's doing, Cathy sure winds some great pickups.

Fantastic work, Kathy! It was fun to watch you, and I am always prepared for any "technical difficulties."

Those pickups are barkin and quackin, dammit! Fine work miss Cathy! Trey had that thing singing. Subbed.

[@TomTobin67]

Hi Cathy. I have three pickups that are weak sounding. Could I interest you in rewinding them for a higher output? What would you charge me for this project?

[@fatratz2012]

y'all got this down!

[@travisjanz4738]

“Your pushing yer luck” lol

[@JCtheGeek2187]

Love the sound of a good P90 pickup in a guitar. Fell in love with them when my first live band's lead guitarist played an early 70s Gibson SG Professional that had P90s in it. These sound SO much better than what came out of that guitar. Great Job!

[@olenfersoi8887]

FYI...P90's are basically just single coil pickups, but flat & wide vs tall & thin. That raises the magnet's field around the strings. You might want to raise your regular single coil pickups to see if that gives a more P90-like tone (more output, but lower "top end" in relation of mids & bass frequencies).

[@JCtheGeek2187]

@@olenfersoi8887 I'm a bass player. 🤷🏻😁

[@davepugh7961]

The rewound pups sounded awesome. Really made that bird beaked cheap guitar into a keeper. If only they woulda put stainless frets and a graphtech nut on it. I also like a wider fingerboard at the nut than most cheapies have.

[@TheSkarocker56]

Lovely sounding pickups. Best of luck with the new channel 🤘

[@birdman316]

so murray at monteys guitar modz is correct...just cause it has a high number dont mean its gonna be hot...wire size matters.... great job on these pups cathy!

[@MrAaroncissell]

Nice! What an improvement.

[@killacoiler1707]

When it comes to a good all-around pickup that can hang out in any genre of music, except for possibly more heavily drop-tuned metal tones, you cannot do better than a good set of soap bars or P-90s. They are one of my favorite styles of pick-up. Opinions may vary; however, they offer the perfect balance of humbucking warmth and single-coil brilliance. One of my favorite combinations for pick-up arrangements is a humbucker in the bridge and an overwound P-90 in the neck. I have found that this setup provides a versatility in tone that an HSS setup falls short of. If you want those creamy jazz and honky country lead sounds, then you need to look no further than a P-90 neck pick-up, and don't worry they can get gritty and dirty when the need arises and you boost the gain. I have played many shows covering 80s hard rock and metal using a Les Paul loaded up with a set of P-90s and they did not sound out of place. Heck Tony Iommi's signature SG is loaded with P-90s and I have never heard anyone complain about Black Sabbath's sound being thin or weak. Just saying. Great job breathing new life into those pick-ups Kathy, I might need to requisition your services for a custom set of P-90s for a build I am getting ready to start. Keep up the good work because those sounded pretty sweet.

Well,I’m here to tell ya,I’ve learned a hellofalot from you guys,I had a Jackson from a couple years back that cost about a thousand bucks off the guitar center website that was beautiful ,but definitely the worst playing guitar I’ve ever had,but after a little practice on some shitty old electric guitar necks I had,I did a truss rod adjustment,fret job,and Floyd setup and now it needs a set of your humbuckers which I’ll be buying this payday,so thanks guys for the lessons I needed and y’all have definitely earned my support on your channels,plus let me in on Trey and Josh’s channels,so thanks and please keep on a putting these informative vids up…

[@dreibel]

Too bad those neodymium fridge magnets from your previous experiment were a bit too wide, they probably would’ve worked great in that build. A good set of P-90s are a thing of beauty. I’ve got some great Duncan Designed ones in a Squier Tele Custom II which are killer - other owners of that model have said they did a pickup swap on it, only to put the originals back in, they’re that good. Your pickupectomy on those cheap P90s sound very good. Would love to see Cathy do a set of Strat-sized versions of the Burns Tri-Sonics.
