Rick is such a versatile bad ass player. I love the guy, I used to sing metal back in the 80s, and I sang a few triumph songs lay it on the line, magic power. Rick also seems to be very humble about his talent, and not an arrogant jerk.

[@MJSCustomPickups]

Cheers Eric! Yes...Rik is very humble & truly a kind soul - and extremely funny :-).

[@lady_in_blue83]

Versatile guitar player, fantastic vocalist, great songwriter and most importantly, appears to be a kind human. My way to follow from tenderness to passion... My greatest rock music influence who even forced me to pick up my own electric guitar to resonate with him! How I want to learn your hooks, riffs and chords! Your unforgettable double neck guitar brings only good memories:... Thanks a lot, my dear Rik! You are amazing!

[@MJSCustomPickups]

Thank you for the kind words - Rik really appreciates it!!

[@lady_in_blue83]

@@MJSCustomPickups Guys, you made my day! Thank you very much! I know that Rik was the MJS endorser. How could I keep in touch with you by e-mail? I have some personal questions. I appreciate you for your great job! I subscribed to your channel. It's the real pleasure for me!

[@MJSCustomPickups]

That's very nice! You can connect with Rik via his Network (an online community of Rik’s fans - a closely knit group where Rik contributes to discussions on the message board almost daily). You can ask him questions any time you'd like :-). www.rikemmett.com/

Splendida chitarra

@Jah Stix...it's a Master Volume

[@wingerfan1]

Rik always manages to get such warm bright great tone! He could make a cheap made in China pickup sound great! As far as Gibson guitars go they have gone downhill in regards to their quality control so I never buy them. However I now have an alternative (I can't stand EMG) to put in my next custom build!

[@MJSCustomPickups]

Well said!

[@wingerfan1]

@@MJSCustomPickups Thank you. When I go back to work I have a strat project that needs new single coils. I may have to order a set. Thank you Corona for ruining my guitar build.

[@KimchiSpringRoll]

The problem is that when you eye on a guitar but cannot find it anywhere close to your music stores, I'm just not happy with the fact that we cannot get our hands on one before buying, and even if we know which guitar we wanted, ordering from the brand is a bet cuz you never know the condition of the specific guitar getting sent to you, the guitar might look and play like a piece of gem in the video but turn out to be gnarly condition. Learned that lesson from Fender custom shop. Totally think fenders and gibs are just too overpriced for what they offer these days, Godin seems like a good choice from the videos out but man is it hard to get my hands on one even when I live in Canada.

[@mikeyb5654]

I feel your pain. I finally ordered a Godin A6 Ultra from Musicians Friend. First time I have bought a guitar without playing it first. Was overwhelmed by the quality of the guitar when IO recieved it. Set up was spot on, no issues, and played beautifully. Godin makes a quality product. And recieved it in less than a week!

[@randyhelms7335]

If Rik is done playing the A6, because he got a new one, I will find it a good home. Lol. Some day Randy, someday.

[@MJSCustomPickups]

:-)!

[@jeffs5720]

Great video! Please, what brand and gauge strings are those? I'm interested in these pickups.

[@MJSCustomPickups]

Hi Jeff - We've since spoken but for others...Rik uses D'Addario EJ21 strings on his A6. They are all Nickel/Steel strings with NO bronze. An all nickel/steel string is a must to achieve proper balance and tone from this magnetic field pickup. Thanks Jeff!

[@thewarmantrio]

Do you have a humbucker that can split to a single coil? I have a godin a6 and I'd like to change the pickup

[@MJSCustomPickups]

Our Humbucker with the A6 is unique :-). I'm guessing you want to split so it's less "boomy"? Send us an email and we can go thru the particulars - [e-mail] Thanks!

[@mauroolivaro2117]

Hello! I hace un a6 and I want upgrade the nagnetic pickup? Which is the best option? And how can I buy IT? Thanks and sorry for my bud english

[@mauroolivaro2117]

*have an a6 ultra*

[@MJSCustomPickups]

@@mauroolivaro2117 Hi Mauro! Please email us at: [e-mail] with a quick description of what you are looking for and we can provide you with all the info you need for your A6 Ultra! Look forward to it. P.S. Your English is fine :-)

[@emiliofaita4734]

what pickup is it? humbucker level 0-1...?

[@MJSCustomPickups]

This particular one is a Hum II but he is now using a Hum 0 - Will be doing a new video with the new pup over the summer :-)

[@jahstix]

how is there a pot on the A6 ? and is that custom and what does it do?

[@barryfulmer5622]

I have the same question. I want to add a pot to my A6. I see his did not have the piezo slide so I'm assuming the knob was running the piezo volume. What about the toggle switch? What was it doing?

[@MJSCustomPickups]

Yes! We added a front Master Volume Control with a 100K Audio Mini Pot. We've done some experimenting since this original vid and have uploaded an updated and extended vid where Rik explains the new specs and set-up - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYm7goB6i9aUrcU (apologies for the low volume...KZbin turned it down once it was uploaded). Hope this helps!
