I always thought the future of instruments was modularity, being able to swap out essential components to drastically alter your sound at the drop of a hat. Whenever I dream up awesome and fantastical hypothetical build instruments they tend to be like that. Really should cobble something together.

[@aquafyre99]

Funny, I've been working on just that. Call it the Wanderlust.

[@xxXthekevXxx]

My idea of a cheaper version of a quick-swap guitar would be to just have push connectors installed on everything.

[@g.koch.]

@@xxXthekevXxx Friend of mine has his own build either with magnets or plugs, and fully modulate pickguard so he can switch 2 to 3 knobs, diffrent switch positions or various diffrent loaded pickguards with the same axe. For the studio work it's a monster of a guitar.

[@ippotsk]

Modular phones never caught on, but hopefully modular guitars will. 😭

[@findantu]

There's cheaper ways to accomplish this . I'm thinking up a modkit you could just set pickups into a shell and drop them in. You'd have to do a little soldering to the pickguard array but I'm sure itl work and if the pup shells are made correct you could just drop in any pickup that fits and slap it in not just thier specific brand . I'm still surprised that there aren't more solid bodies with mini amps built in so you can at least selftune and use headphones.

Sooo do you have to buy special pickups to switch them out with the magnets or is there some kind of magnetic wiring harness that you can put on other pickups as well?

[@BillOfBoard]

If I am not mistaken, you can request or send Relish pickups, and they will install them for you. Check Darryl Braun's video on it, I believe he mentions that

[@josep43767]

They can install the proper mount so you can use any pickup if you send it to them

[@SynthApprentice]

This is what I wanted to know. It would be cool if you could get just the harness, and install the pickups yourself.

[@BenK12345]

I was wondering about active pickups as well -- does it support them? I"m not a fan of them, but if you're going to have power on-board anyway.. (for that atrocious selector switch and garbage piezo..ugh).. it'd be silly not to support active pickups

[@thecannaviking]

They have 9 sets you can chose from. The most used pick ups. ENTER A NEW SOUND SPECTRUM WITHIN SECONDS Our patented Pickup Swapping System enables you to swap your 59’s with a couple of P90s to enter a whole different sound spectrum within just seconds. Simply pop off the magnetic back veneer and you get access to the tidy interior of your Jane, Mary or Mary One. Without any soldering skills, you can pull out and insert the pickups in a special Relish pickup mounting. Twist the knob on the back to adjust the height and use an allen key for the final tilt adjustment.  SWAP PICKUPS, NOT GUITARS You got a fantastic guitar, you love the neck, the looks, the hardware but you haven’t found the right pickups for it just yet. You want to play that guitar during your blues jams and in that new Metal band you’re about to hit the studio with. We created the Relish Pickup Swapping System in order to transform your guitar into true swiss army axe. PICKUP SWAPPING IN ACTION «ANY PICKUPS?» No, but the right ones. In order to make pickups compatible with our swapping system, we have developed a special mounting system. For now, we offer a fine selection of nine pairs of pickups by Seymour Duncan, Bare Knuckle and our very own custom-wound in-house creations. But if you have a special wish, we can make it happen. Simply reach out. THE GUITAR PICKUP SWAPPING SET OF NINE CONTAINS 1x Relish Buckers: Relish Vintage P.A.F. 3x Seymour Duncan: Seymour Duncan JB & '59, Seymour Duncan Alnico ll HB Pro, Seymour Duncan Jazz 5x Bare Knuckle: Bare Knuckle BC True Grit, Bare Knuckle BC Brute Force, Bare Knuckle BC Old Guard, Bare Knuckle Emerald, Bare Knuckle Nailbomb

[@josephgrant757]

These Relishes are some versatile workhorses, i really underestimated how fantastic these models are, if they had a range from 600-1000$ i’d definetly buy one of these. I first saw one of these on Darrell Braun’s channel. You made that guitar sing in so many tones my man! Good video Sam!

I was wondering what it's like to try and make a career as an artist in Canada. So far I've heard a lot of positive things but I would like anything that might help influence me. I currently make my entire income from music and I'm wondering how much I'll have to start from scratch. tl;dr might move to Canada, how hard is it to survive as musician?

[@freyjainternicola5183]

Bout the same as anywhere else id suggest moving to montreal, vancouver or toronto if you do though! hope this helps

[@samuraiguitarist]

This alone could be an entire video but I'll try to keep it short. The great thing about Canada is the granting system and the cost of living in some places. There is a system called factor that will fund your musical expenses like touring, album recording etc. You have to apply and get accepted and there are different tiers. Most most provinces also offer something similar on top of it. Depending where you live the cost of living can be quite low especially since we don't pay health insurance. However if you go to Vancouver or Toronto you'll pay ALOT. these also happen to be the bigger music centres. The downside is that there just isn't as much going on in the arts as there is in the us. Nothing here compares to New York Nashville or LA. Not even close. Plus we have winter. Culturally ive found that Australia is pretty close. Hope this might help!
