Great job with the demo! Wanted to hear all of these actually. The Tone Hatch was surprisingly dark. I would go with the Duncans that in other demos seem surprisingly boring, but sound great here. Just that strange stuff called money holding me back.......
Duncan had the most string to string balance and clarity. My ears don't like the heavy low end of the GFS with distortion. Tone Hatch were better than the Duncan's until the distortion, then they lose their clarity. Thanks for demonstrating. (Antiquities are definitely not worth paying that much either way...)
Those Tone Hatch are taking me by surprise, they sound so neutral and balanced wow, I understand what other’s are commenting but my test for a good pickup is strictly clean, if you got a good canvas, colors will play nice is a matter on how it is used
Great demo thanks. Overall I think the Duncan's sounded best and was surprised at how well the GFS sounded. For my taste and pocketbook I'd get the Duncan's.
I'm not sure I've ever loved a 5-2 pickup made by any manufacturer. The Seymours sounded the best, but if I had the GFS, I'd be happy. I bet I'd like other models of Tone Press.
Tone Hatch was the clear winner to me until the “dirty” round. They seemed to have lost all high range clarity overdriven. That said, I think Seymour Duncan was probably the best as an over all pickup. What pickups are still in your guitar?

The Tone Hatch set might be less dark with 1M pots

Thank u, I been watching a lot of videos but nobody gave a great demo like this 🤌🏻
Nice shootout. Your sound quality is very good. You have another subscriber.
Thanks!
You're right; the GFs hang right in there with the Duncans, which I think are horrendously overpriced.

That was the first time I tried out a 2-5 pickup. They weren't my favorite.

I tell you ....the GFS pickups are right there with the others. Of course, they all sound good.
What value pots did you use? 500k?
250k
@@dmanguitar Thanks!
Any Jazzmaster pickup into 250k pots sounds like a dull, muddy single coil with all of character sucked out of it to me
