11:50 Unfortunately, these Relish pickups look like they are using a proprietary baseplate for the pickups (no side mounting tabs). That said, any pickup modifications would limit the Player to only Relish brand pickups. 😐

I'll tell you Trogly, I really relished this experience!

A quick google search tells me that Relish Guitars has gone bankrupt and shut down. I guess no one needed those quick change pick ups.

[@edo.1648]

They sold the quick pickup tech to at least one other guitar company. You can get guitars with the same pickup swap tech from "Cream T" in the UK. Their guitars are excellent too (own one of the older offset models without the pickup swap and it's awesome).

[@MashaT22]

I think Samurai Guitarist or another big KZbinr recently made a video about Relish - like in the last couple of months, as I recall. Sounds like they’re aiming to relaunch Relish for business again. But you are correct that Relish was not in business producing any guitars for several years.

[@Gyropathic]

@@MashaT22 Just to add Relish Guitars I believe are owned by Guitar-X now, which was just bought by a company called Aurora Music Works.

That Hendrixian chord is a 7th with a #9. That Relish guitar kind of reminds me of the banana yellow BC Rich solid body model that I was sold in June 1997. It's in the offset aspects of this guitar's shape. The novelty of being able to swap out pickups does have its appeal. I would probably enjoy it a whole lot more than coil splitting.

[@erickmartin5667]

The $1500 and under NON Gibson would be interesting. Charvel/Jackson, Ibanez, Gretsch, LTD, and Yamaha all fit there

[@frankhandy7345]

Nothing like playing mid song and your pickups fall out lol

[@doctoribanez]

I dont think people like to change their pickups that much. Personally, i would use a different guita. I can't imagine onky having one 😂

[@chrisgagnon4608]

Glen Fricker used one of these to prove that pickups don't change tone, except you can tell the difference between single coil and humbucker.

[@Hermankusters]

"I dont want to mix friendship and money.." THEN DO IT FOR FREE JEEZZ, what a friend you are 😅😅

[@Trog]

That was an option - but a basic ad read isn't as effective as a full on collab with entertainment along the way

[@zanzabar4ky7]

They went out of business. They should not have any new ones shipping in.

[@D34D4H34D]

The tone is much better than I thought it would be. I don't really care for the design but if we're talking tone only, it's really nice. I've watched Samurai for a long time, have always enjoyed his videos and he is a kick ass player and teacher!

[@catmandoodoo7903]

The main reason Relish went bust is because you have to trim the pickup wire so short that you can never use the pickup in anything else. Unless you want to get into splicing.

[@mikeomatic9905]

I think only licensed shops like Sweetwater could put in non-Relish pickups too, at least initially. (I know you could get third party harnesses, but that’s not a great business model.)

[@catmandoodoo7903]

@ yeah, that sounds familiar. There was one near me here in the U.K. Sold a package of pickups in the harnesses for about the same price as one of the Trinity guitars. Was a bit daft. I actually think Trogly got stung badly in this video.

[@joermnyc]

Those push out pretty easy, maybe too easy? There are slightly better swap-out options out there from new European companies, where you twist a knob on the back of the pickup to unlock it and then pull out the pickup, so there’s no worries about playing too hard and “whoops”.

[@AnonymouseZillenial]

11:50 I wonder if the humbuckers are two conductor as well, or four? Makes sense for the P90

[@MegaHomie4life]

I knew he was gonna send some off brand weird guitar when he didn’t want to spend the $800 on a new guitar 😅

I hope you say "Thats it, back to Winnipeg!" to yourself as you pack his guitar to send it home

[@ckelly5141]

A rare, but satisfying breakdown of Trogly’s chord theory. 🎶🎸✅

[@beatmasterbossy]

Kinda like a telecaster meets a Les Paul meets one of Delia Deetz modern "art" sculptures

[@StreetPreacherr]

That's a GREAT tip that I try giving to friends who've just started with guitar. Learn the 'regular' chords, then practice switching between them, and just try LIFTING different fingers and you'll usually end up making a legitimate different chord, which adds variation and makes you sound WAY better than you are! Like strum an Am, then lift your INDEX finger, and suddenly you're playing an Asus2. Or strum an E, lift your Ring Finger, and you're playing an E7! And you'll also be practicing 'pull-offs' & 'hammer-ons' without even realizing it!

[@cravecave505]

Indeed revolutionary 😂

[@johnhutton9105]

Just picked one of these up a couple of weeks back. Feels good, sounds good, literally any humbucker-sized pickups will fit it.

[@joshpointoh]

I think this guitar proves that people just don't care about hot swappable pickups. I can't see doing it any better than this, and it still looks useless for 99.99% of guitarists and situations

[@MuscleCarLover]

There are some compelling options in Squier's Classic Vibe range that fit comfortably within that budget, then you get into stuff like Yamaha Pacificas and Gretsches so on and so forth. It's amazing what's out there for relatively little money these days

[@jimmyjames2022]

Nice collaboration ‪Samurai Guitarist‬ and Trogly! Interesting Relish Trinity, they've been out for years now but seem rare as hens teeth, too bad they didn't get mass acceptance. Not to hard to change the pups to boutique ones either.

[@clarkbabin9799]

Merry Christmas to all.

It's as appealing looking to me as a Theodore which is to say it's not appealing to me.

Sounds alright , yet the aesthetics leave much to be desired...Thanks Trogness !

[@d.j.9961]

Merry Christmas Trogly! Happy holidays & happy picking!

[@KainzMusic]

I get the feeling that if one gets very heavily into a chuggy rhythm they might knock the pickup out of the cavity?

[@stratman1021]

That some kick butt jamming Trogly. Cool guitar.

[@Madakalim]

Id love to hear Trogly just wing a playing demo (like this one incidentally!!) based on how he feels more often than the "standard" old hat we are used to! You dont get better by just playing what you know and you wont break the guitar by playing something stupid!!

[@12thFretMedia]

For pickup swaps like that I’d go with the Gyrock system by Wild Custom Guitars. I covered them at NAMM and it was really cool. Billy Gibbons even had a custom model made for him

[@aprilkurtz1589]

I am surprised guitars like this don't really do well. That would be so convenient. I think that chord's official name is "The Hendrix Chord." I had a cat that would jump in the air every time I played the Hendrix chord, lol.

[@Russell_Optics]

Personally I like the looks of it, plus, it seems that it would be very comfortable to play. I just don't see a big need for having quick-change pickups. Put a P90 in the neck socket and a 7~8k PAF in the bridge and just enjoy it.

[@TravelatorH8r]

P nineties are meant to be turned down and used with fuzz

[@svart_kors]

Love the look of this guitar, would prefer black, but I think it's cool as hell.

[@mikecarbone828]

Salutations Austin! This particular guitar body reminds me a little of the Theodore, with a cutaway on the bottom half. Thanks for sharing! Please have an excellent and awesome day! 🎸

[@mykemech]

I'd like to see a recessed plate covering the back of the pickup cavities. Maybe also mounted with magnets and with a finger hole for quick removal. Those holes would bug me against my belly.

[@zombieparrot2606]

I still wouldn’t turn that down. Lolz, I just subbed to Samurai Guitarist the other day. This is a pleasant crossover.

[@roberthenry6910]

Trogly, would you ever take a look at the Squier Troublemaker Teles?

[@Gizzorge]

The guitar looks really good strapped on. I dig the shape.

[@eranmontiel]

Man if you are looking for guitars that punch WAY above their price point, the Epiphone 335s from the last couple of years are unreal. Every time I pick mine up, I am blown away with the quality and tone compared to guitars that I own that cost 3x as much or more.

[@edwinstovall3334]

I'd say you didn't waste your time with Samurai Guitarist's lesson; I just heard you do the chord progression for one of those old 60s rock n roll turnarounds!

[@richardcranium8500]

I like grabbing a different guitar if i want different pickups.That would get old switching pickups and playing the same guitar all the time.

[@adamfindlay7091]

I dig the understated: watch out! It kinda reminds me of a Rickenbacker.

It's so weirdly confirmational-ly biased-y that you talked about that Aria Pro II Thor-Sound. I just send away a customer's Thor Bass that I cleaned, repaired and fixed up for him. 1st time I heard about them before, (I think...ADHD) then suddenly there are 2 referenced in my one single day.

Wishing You Happy Holidays, Austin! 🎁🎄✨

[@chriscromelin413]

The Bridge pickup is great, but I also liked the clean sound in the middle position. Not a fan of the body shape though.

[@brownsons]

U do what I use to do. Try making ur guitar strap shorter so the body of it centers a little higher. Pull the guitar over to the right as well. So it will sit a little bit higher and to the right. Will be much easier playing blackend. Sorry I wanted to tell ya that because I just picked up guitar again this summer and that’s what I discovered for myself. I started in 5th grade. Fell out of practice for a looong time right around 18 years old (37 now). Completely obsessed with guitar all over again. I have to play every single day or my whole week gets ruined 😅😩😭😂❤️

[@brownsons]

I could be way wrong about that. But I noticed things became more easier when I did that

[@thomassawicki2065]

Zero People need that technology ! ! Imagine how messed up the signal from those pickups is after sparking through a 'Quick Connect" plug.

[@jeffbarnard9246]

411 tonight how about going back over mod collection. Hey Trogly Cheapies tonight but OK it's a guitar. Why do you need pickups that you can just replace? Don't really know you got a great pickup why change it. Just saying, easy work for you tonight. Those crazy Swiss they make good cocoa. Must have been a player, if it was worn that much. Weird if it ain't broke don't fix it. Thanx Trogly I guess. Well it doesn't sound half bad. Very clean.

[@ScottJamesHicks]

I can imagine the pickup contact points would tarnish or fail. And just imagine misplacing a pickup and trying to easily find a replacement. 😆🤣
