Rik is such a great player but yet down to earth in his attitude and method of teaching and explaining things about the guitar just introduces things about the guitar that humble you I was do in midsummers day dream years ago and really forgot how great of a player he is. He an Satriani are such great teachers and how they help you interpret things about music in layman's terms

You're absolutely right! Uncle Rik is definitely one of a kind and a wealth of knowledge :-)

I'm happy you work with Rik, because I was introduced to your pickups because of him. I own two of your pickups now, and they're amazing!

I say Triumph in the 80's. I always hoped to catch Rik and Dave on a West Coast tour, but read that he has retired from touring. I love this video and Rik's youthful spirit.

Cheers! Yes, Rik is enjoying some down time but is working on a few things as well. We'll be uploading a New Demo video with Rik in a few days ;-)

love the pickups, and of course Rik. FYI maybe it's me, but volume seems a bit low on the video.

Thanks Jim! Shoot...our playback seemed OK but will check it out - Tkx! Turns out YT reduced volume by -17db after upload :-(

Agree. At least 6-8 db below normal vol stadard. But fantastic video and explanation by a guitar virtuoso, whom I first met at 18 Producing a concert in Thunder Bay back in 81 or 82. Then as a Video Producer on his The Spiral Notebook album in 95👍 Also new to MJS and will def look into a neck/bridge replacement I have been wanting on a Fender Sig guitar for the past year. Zak at Electric Standard Toronto works on my guitars, so I will request via him👍♥️

Sounds good Skyler - Great to connect! Apologies for the low volume...KZbin normalized it after upload and shows reduced by 17.7dB for some reason :-(

I just bought one of these guitars and the booming pickup has got to go. I love the tone you are getting from that one.
