This guy does not know how to play guitar. I could do these riffs blind.

[@rebeltugFPS]

Owen Chase science channel Cool? I’m not exactly sure what your point is. Fluff has stated multiple times that he’s not a godly guitarist and certainly doesn’t act like he thinks he is. I don’t see why you feel the need to say you are better than him, unless of course, you’re compensating for your insecurities. Then in that case, carry on!

[@Jables2352]

Before you even said something I was thinking it could be the same pickup. Don’t really notice a different sound.

[@cornelius5595]

Jables2352 +1, it sounded so damn close I’m convinced any perceived difference is a matter of QC.

[@PooNinja]

I thought the same thing LOL

[@Nate-oc1ot]

Maybe slight more bottom end and I mean very slight has to be the same pup ol son

[@hotdogslayer4430]

Could you do the cheapest floyd rose bridge and nut setup?

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

No reason to. The cheap ones are dog shit. Even the Specials suck. I barely use mine compared to some people and thought it was a bunch of bs but an original or a gotoh is the only way to go. A $150 ESP guitar with a setup, an OFR, and a used set of ebay emgs sounds incredible

[@blaiseshultz6640]

Please no

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

Trust me, the "cheapest" Floyd Rose will be aweful. Better off with a standard term and locking tuners if you can't afford a proper FR (or at least a decent licensed one). Though you can get a few decent and affordable drop in Ibanez terms from Ibanezrules

[@josuastangl7140]

I have an Ibanez RG655 with a Edge Zero or something and it's amazing, never goes out of tune and feels really good.

[@highpsi7463]

Isnt that the funny part? Seeing how rat shit itd really be?

[@AlexH8280]

Dragonfires are cheap and great. My go-to for budget project builds. Also, in the video the stock pickup sounds better to my ears.

[@robw3872]

I agree about dragonfires. I used them to replace some stock Ibanez ones in a friend's guitar and they sound pretty damn good for the money. Their hardware is also great too. I pretty much spec'd out his guitar with their stuff all for cheap

[@The_Nightslayer]

I love Dragonfire Really awesome pickups for the price I did a lot of projects with those pickups My channel will soon be available for people to check out the pickups

[@BorkBorkDoggo]

Love Dragonfire pickups. I actually just replaced one of my Duncan Invaders with A Dragonfire Crusader because I preferred their copy to the original.

[@malettastudios9416]

I threw a pair of screamers in my old SG400. Badass pickups, kinda like a JB, just a little less aggressive.

[@jaybat4634]

Dragonfire’s are great!

[@TheAir97]

1:25 "-the bridge pickup being 13.5 K for output and the bridge being 17.5K." It's definitely cool that a single pickup can have two different measurements for output

[@216trixie]

It's The bridge pickup versus the Bridge pickup. See.

[@jerrymander1492]

Two bridges on one guitar? I want that!

[@scottbennett1985]

Fleor pickups are awesome . Perfect match of price,quality, and sound. They are my standard pickup in all my builds and I recommend them to all my customers looking to upgrade pickups that do not want to pay for Dimarzio or Duncans. Recently replaced the stock EVH pickups in a Wolfgang with the Fleor high output and they made a great sounding guitar sound amazing

[@jordimateubartroli951]

I'm planning to build an SG clone and I was thinking about the Fleor cause everybody say they are really good for the money. And they even have an alnico II set!

[@the_algorithm]

I've used them. They are great

Now grab the Mooer Tone Capture GTR and let them sound like Bareknuckles. 😎

The new pick up sounded more muted and compressed then the one that came in the guitar. The stock pick up was more open and a little more bright in my opinion.

@@96jpineda nope, he's right. The amazon pickup sounds muffled and muddy compared to the stock one. You guys missing some frequencies

[@killerspyder1]

[@caelenkibler6049]

Imo stock pickup was brigther and spankier even though slight, it was noticable.

[@GrumpyTy34er]

For people who don't know (Fluff included): the pole pieces are spaced differently. The wider spacing is the one that should be at the bridge

[@fondoman3884]

.. makes sense

[@joedirt7640]

Try Fleor’s for $18 Serious. 4 wires too. I like them better than a set of SD pearly gates I spent $220 for.

[@jordimateubartroli951]

Are they the alnico V or II set? Cause I'm planning to build an SG clone and an alnico II set would be nice.

you should review dragonfire pickups. they are also cheap but i think they are better quality

[@rudygracia5573]

There's just something special about"Cheap".If we can pull off dazzling/stunning people,and we did it with very little$$ invested;Hey,We "won"!(IMO).ie;I recorded a CD(cheap!),in a home studio(2004);The very young"engineer"was using a Behringer mixing console,Several homemade computers.MXL ribbon mic,drum/vocal"booth"was the garage(foamed out)!.Sony Vegas software,and several guitar amp plug in's.The result was freakin mind blowing!It helped greatly that the engineer kid was a wizard.

[@yaguitar]

I have a £14 hotrails style humbucker from a company on amazon in my strat - actually very good!

[@samzbieszkowski642]

I saw somebody do a demo over (the same pickups I believe) them and they sounded great for the price

[@jaxonvictoria4345]

Back in college there was this guy who had a Fender Strat partscaster with a cheap Korean-made Artec hotrails in the bridge position. One of the best sounding Strats for metal i've ever heard.

[@EcstasyJesus]

could you perhaps send me a link? I need a throwaway hotrail

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

Check out Iron Gear Pickups. Cheap (£20 for a humbucker), British company, British quality control, Korean manufactured. Awesome sounding.

[@Frankmakesfood]

You should check our dragonfire pickups. They’re cheap but IMO sound pretty good

[@mosh247]

Dude those riffs blew me away. I wish i could jam with you. I live in Germany though. Groove it man

I wouldn't mind hearing them tested into a good guitar against the stock pickup

[@JesseDKangas]

He didn’t label them? Didn’t show us the multimeter? What a waste of a video. Come on Fluff!

[@rickearl1392]

When he remove the stock pick up both havw the same red wire so he didn't use the muktimeter anymore

[@JesseDKangas]

I watched the video, I realize what he did. It would have been nice to know if they both read the same on the multi-meter.

[@rickearl1392]

@@JesseDKangas oh I understand. Yeah would have been nice

[@mateomarroquin8632]

Pickups are just magnets with wires around them, there isn't too much deviation you can get from that besides amount of coils, which controls output. That's why many cheap pickups sounds "surprisingly good"

[@jaxonvictoria4345]

Mateo Marroquin ikr, people act like it’s threaded out of gold or some shit.

[@ethancheng1595]

came in to say the same thing. Except for the R&D cost, which is justified and I respect the work they do, the cost of the materials can't be that much.

[@0000song0000]

3:55 what i kinda like about cheap gear is that sound is the sound of the second rhytmic guitar. Like you would have a solo guitar, then a rhytmic playing on EMG or DiMArzios, then a "lo-fi"sound with gates or distorsion, or just cheap ceramic pickups

[@TimO-wt9sz]

Totally with you on your assumption red bieng hot and yellow a neck pickup.

[@silverdragon0000120]

Why not do an acoustic guitar instead. Those are more labor intensive.

[@spurlocksloth]

Very similar A-B...both pickups tone kinda bad tho IMO...possibly micing or EQ could mitigate this. Between these 2....the cheaper of them was a bit more fizzy/crackely, with loose loose low end All-in-alI I would recommend spending the little extra on either a high end set of Pups or a decent amp sim that can give you options.

[@DeeZeeGuitar]

You should check out GFS pickups/Guitar Fetish stuff! Its very inexpensive stuff and (from what i've tried) its pretty good!

[@sennata7221]

Same here, I put their $15 single coils in a strat build I did and they sound great

[@Voxguitarsrock]

Agreed! I have a pair of gfs " mean 90's " in my Les Paul clone and it sounds Great!

[@arminbreuer7968]

Hearing that ETID riff there, I realized that it's a) still one of my favorite riffs/song of all time, and b) it's been 14 years since this album came out, which makes you and me really fucking old.

[@Snaffdude]

Sweet Corridor Digital merch! I bought a pickup like this to put in my very first guitar because it had literally corroded into non-existence. It did the job (for a 20 year old £100 starter guitar) and It's still in the rack with my ibanez' and Schecters

[@thefallingpi341]

the bridge pickup being 13.5k and the bridge pickup being 7.5k

[@allendaleguitars.stpetersb4528]

The longest wire is the neck pickup. Shorter wire Bridge. The thicker pickup trim ring is the bridge. And the skinny pick up trim ring is the neck. But you can check it out and see how many ohms it's throwing out for both of them. I ordered from them before. Not bad for $13 really can't go wrong.

[@malettastudios9416]

YAAAAAAY!!!!! I thought you’d never make this vid. I’m probably not the only one but I’m lad you saw the comments! Wish has pickups too btw!!

[@KevinRibelMusic]

I got some pickups for like 75 USD from a brand called ToneRider these are designed in the UK but made in the far East. Highly recommend. Mine are Alnico2 vintage style pickups and sound really good on a cheap guitar I had for years and had fun upgrading.

[@user-fi8eb9fz5s]

I'm diggin' the corridor digital shirt

[@throwsnbrews9516]

The new one definitely sounds pretty much the same. Maybe some inconsistencies in the winding makes it seem a little hotter, but yeah.

[@RubyRoks]

Hmm. I might have found an upgrade for my epiphone LP Junior

[@Hyder61112]

Damn this was my first guitar, its from a brand called Viper. i remember converting it to HSH and installing some random chinese humbucker and a hotrail. now i got an LTD F50 with EMG81/60

[@philippe_durel]

DUDE ! You have all that top notch equipment and you don't have a multimeter. :D Anyway, nice fun video (once again). Have fun, play loud !

[@Preston_Rowe]

You should put those pick ups on a Gibson les Paul

[@Voxguitarsrock]

Agreed. And do before and after a/b testing.

[@uselessoldman7964]

stripped the sound out put it through my Adams (studio monitors) then the Marshalls via me power amps, they ARE the same and guess what, they sounded pretty good

[@fallmusic9453]

nice corridor shirt!

[@williamf.9615]

I bought a black, loaded Strat pick guard from Ebay for 10 Euros! Postage free. It was for a knackered old Bullet Strat I picked up for 40 Euros. The pickups sound amazing. Proper Strat sound. No hum. Just popped it in, soldered the jack and trem...easy. The 5 way switch works perfect and even most of the holes lined up. I'm like sat here thinking "Where's the catch? It can't be that easy". But it is, he says... still shaking his head in disbelief. I almost feel like ordering another one just for the sake of it.

[@DR440]

I put some Warman pickups (destroyer) in my Jackson king V. They sound awesome. I really suggest you try those!

[@TooManyEyesJoe]

I managed to get a set of pickups from the Cort MBC 1 which are designed by Manson and Bare knuckle for £20. They are great pickups

[@davidowenmusic5314]

Check out FLEOR pickups, $15-20 each pickup. I use the high output ceramic hex-poled humbuckers in my guitars set up for Drop C#, and I love them.

[@jamesbuton4261]

If you just want to chug plug into a DAW via USB and use Neural DSP, or whatever, you could use pretty much anything - and he proves that. If you're after a musical interaction with your guitar and real amplifier, where the gear is what also inspires your music, then, if you're happy with your guitar's set-up, the pickups are the first place to look to dramatically re-shape your tone. When you're using the pickup dynamically, rolling back the volume for gain control, every little thing in your chain; string gauge, tone cap., leads, nut material all add up together to make a difference. The big players in *that* scenario are scale length, body material, bridge type and most importantly pickups. Basically, it boils down to your setup. This cheap pickup in a decent tube amp, may sound very lacking from a high quality upgrade.

[@vinicioserafini5929]

That's definitely the same pickup

[@cronchy_leaves3192]

Awesome video. Love that Corridor Crew sweater

[@pdwhite-ue3md]

Something I’ve thought for a long time, other than playability and aesthetics the guitar is almost agnostic, it’s all in the rest of the signal chain and you. These videos kinda prove that I think.

[@elliottnunez1057]

how would the cheapest guitar soind with the OTHER cheap pickup installed? The neck pickup with the higher numbers on the meter installed in the bridge position??? Think it would sound better, different, more output, darker???

[@frankohicks6344]

Anyway possible you would do a lesson of hypochondria?

[@MrMassmahem]

Franko Hicks I’ve been plying that song on repeat

[@lukenicholsonoriginalmusic5475]

You should order some pickups from here in the UK. We have Warman pickups from around £25 for a great set and price then going upwards. Irongear and Wilkinson are the same story in terms of price and quality. Even to ship them over the the USA would cost a small amount compared to bigger brands with much higher prices. Would be great to see you check something like that out. Thanks.

[@Lespaul13100]

Dragonfire pickups are pretty decent. I use the screamers, high output, 16k in the bridge. I put that set in my Les Paul, and have gigged with them. Sound pretty damn good! $35.00 for a set.

[@thatguyreiji1045]

Id love fluff to do something of cheap hardware but. Useable stuff...That he would actually support.

[@TheDarkMessiah]

A couple of those have come up, actually, like the ammoon PockRock effects "pedal" thing comes to mind. Generally, he makes things sound decent after a bit of fiddling around anyway.

[@buddyholly9960]

Me and my grandpa built a homemade electric guitar it not your normal electric guitar shape but boy does It chug Even though I mostly play grunge alternative rock and classic rock and hard rock it's left-handed I play left-handed even though I'm right-handed it's more comfortable for me it's got one humbucker and 2 single coils and I use a RMS amplifier with a boss D's 1 distortion pedal and a Harmonix small clone chorus pedal

[@Wizerslapski]

[@jwativ13]

Can’t help but be stoked at hear an ETID riff.

[@Shinigami-cult]

The 2nd pickup is SLIGHTLY hotter but also has just the slightest amount of clarity the first pickup was lacking in

[@n7565j]

Would have been interesting to see if they had the same resistance as well... Sounded exactly the same to me :-)

[@loschain2224]

i liked the stock pickup better. the differences are slight. but yeah it seems to be the same pickup model.

[@squirlmy]

No. The difference, if there really is one, is because of other things: the equipment may have warmed up, the humidity had changed, or he made tighter or looser wire connections. And that's assuming your mind isn't playing tricks on you, because maybe you're just so convinced the same model pickups can sound different, and you can hear that difference. My point is, for all practical purposes, they are the same, and it's totally illogical, maybe even bragging, for you to think they are the same model, and still prefer one over the other. I'm not saying you can't, or it's necessarily not true, but stick to either saying they are the same model, or you prefer one. That's all. Don't pretend to be so special.

[@Lazy_eye_blobFish]

@@maarmaat what's funny is there have been a few people that think I'm trying to beg for likes by being positive in the comment section, it's like these people don't want happiness and even if that was the case why would it matter? Just take the happiness and go on about your day. Also my personal favorite is when two different people have told me that saying God bless you is offensive to some people, I don't care if it offends people I will still say God bless you if you're offended by me spreading positivity and saying God Bless you that's your problem LOL!

[@maarmaat]

@@Lazy_eye_blobFish I reckon that the biggest problem that those people have is that they never felt a real sorrow of being left alone, unwanted etc. To be honest with you, you just made my day. Listen, I won't open up myself here with how bad my life wouldn't be, how sad I am, that's not the place or time for this. But remember one thing dude. I bet my ass that there are tons of people who scrolled through comments and are just too shy to thank you for even such a small thing like wishing a good day. However, this one little piece of positivity may rescue someone. Believe me or not, there are people who are on a streak of sorrow for some reason, they suffer for depresion and the only thing that they wish for more than little kid for santa to come, is that little spark of positivity. You should keep on doing what you do, regardless of how much those ignorants wouldn't tell you to shut up. Little comment like this can really help. Unfortunately, real heroes won't ever wear a cape, or even be thanked properly. But remember, there are people who could thank you, but are too shy. Keep on being positive, because you are the hero that we need. And, God bless you, dude.

[@guitarste]

check the dc resistance with a meter that will tell you which one is which

[@Nightpacer]

[@fabianvanderelst9643]

Probably like 50 cents or something lol

[@RyanFullerton]

Not gonna lie they do sound slightly different, but assuming the studio was identical they're still close enough that I'd be willing to write it off to a difference in ambient temperature or humidity when the pickups were manufactured. They're the same for sure.

[@evil_in_your_closet]

Would love you to do a test / review on Entwistle Pickups. The "Dark Star" and "Dark Star 7" specifically. They're really inexpensive (made by a dude that used to wind PuPs for Hamer back in the day) but i find them really awesome for their price!

[@BobTC22]

I was gonna add that too, if unsure which is which test em with a multimeter. Even if they were the "same" I doubt a company thats charging that much is spending too much time qc'ing them to make sure they're an exact frequency match.

@@BobTC22 yeah but if it was in that same ball park you could be safe in thinking they were the same manufacturer

[@shackdroid]

Just a quick note. I am a fan of cheap parts and some of my favorites come from guitar fetish. I have them in a few of my setups, sometimes just the bridge or neck. The description of each pickup's tone is pretty spot on and they are cheaper that Seymour Duncan's
