Seymour Duncan Antiquity Jazzmaster Neck Pickup Demo and Review
Просмотров 20121 день назад
I didn't say it in the video, but I think the stock pickup is voiced a bit more like a P90 (with lower output) than a truly traditional Jazzmaster pickup. The Seymour Duncan sounds more like a true Jazzmaster pickup, as one would expect. I paid full retail price for this pickup.

    Great to see another almost 40 year old fan of a Avril. I too have been a fan since like she hit the scene with the song "Complicated", and always have been a fan of her music. A the time I was in my high school and listening almost exclusively to metal and rock. When she emerged at the scene, I knew she was there to stay, because of all the female fans she attached to with her music and her looks. Back then it was referred to as a "Avril lookalike". But never the less , I was all in into her music, which was something refreshing from 2002 till 2005.

    I really wanted to like this guitar. It's so cool! The pick up configuration just looks mean. But after listening to it, sorry it just doesn't do it. It's five positions of weakness. There's no balls. There's no bite. And there's no way I'm spending the money on this guitar. For those of you who like it, hey that's what this world's about. There's something for everybody. Believe me, I own a lot of fenders, and a lot of Squiers, but there's no way I'm spending the money on this. For me, it has no redeeming quality. It's just odd. An odd doesn't make it worth the money.

    I bought one last year from Sweetwater. They were running a sale, $649 with a free Plek job thrown in. Best fret job I've ever seen. They even string it up with strings of your preference. But you got a hell of a good deal there. Firebirds have their own sound, and the Epi version captured it pretty well. One thing though, I put Dunlop #2 fingerboard oil on it, wiped off the excess, and overnight the indian laurel looked fantastic. It's good for the wood too, keep it from shrinking and cracking. Good review, thanks!

    • @jonathancalhoun4853
      @jonathancalhoun4853 29 дней назад

      I'm definitely going to put that very oil on it when I restring it. I actually remember when Sweetwater had that deal with the Plek job and almost got one then (I think I waited too long to get it then). I'm really happy with mine and can't imagine paying what it would take to get a Gibson (or the more expensive Epiphone) compared to this one.

    I previously had a 2017 Gibson Firebird Studio T but it never felt right or scratched that itch so to speak. The Epi does, mainly because it is a true neck thru. Much like you I found there was no Gibson production model available and going after them on the used market is quite expensive. The only new ones you can currently get from Gibson are custom shop models

      @@WalkenDead I had a very similar experience. I wanted a “real” neck-thru Firebird and even though it was a somewhat reasonable $1,999 when Gibson last offered it as a production model a few years ago they are often hundreds more than that used since they are relatively scarce. I’m very pleased with this one and like even better now that I’ve set it up properly (I was right, the bridge was just set way too high and other than lowering the bridge pickup as well it was fine).
