The pick ups have o.been the main disappointment when trying out more modern Juniors for sale They were not even close sounding to the original 50s and 60s examples. Bravo! you have opened a door to a great choice with your skills .Thank you.
I can't get enough of your no frills demo & technical videos ... I'm totally sold on your products
Wow, i think i've been subscribed to your channel longer than almost any i follow! I didn't want to miss when you uploaded a new one and here it is. Thank you Mr. Gundry, it's fun to learn about this stuff and hear it too. I hope you are well and still enjoying the specificity of these sounds. You are certainly the only one making replicas of the originals anymore, that i know of.
Excellent Resource for the community! Thank You Very Much for this! I know it's your company/product but it's a valuable informational resource and took a significant amount of time to video and produce. Best Regards and Best Wishes!
Nice work John 👍
Iv used a shoe string before to work a knob up and off . Whatever works .
Thanks for creating content again I love your videos and of course pickups!
Thank you Sir
Dudes …. Subscribed annnnnd I just heard about your company. I’ll be getting a set for my les Paul later
Very informative. Quick question: is it important to trim off the excess length of the pickup leads? Thanks
Trimming off the excess lead is important to prevent the braided ground shield on the lead from accidentally grounding a connection that would ground out the pickup signal path.
Your idea of using the Gibson parts , as you say the guitar is use to them, I really agree with.
In fact, whenever I remove screws/ nuts / tuner screws from a guitar. I get a piece of cardboard and stick each screw in the exact order as they came out. I tape the nuts to cardboard too.
I’ve worked on many guitars as I’m sure you have and the screws/ nuts don’t alway like to go back in/ on in different holes or threads.
Sounds crazy, but it can save you a huge headache.....
Cross threading can easily happen and ruin your day...👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great idea.
@@ThroBakChannel 🙏🏻
Love the videos and love your pickups.!!!
haven't seen ya in a while, love your content, but further more, I love P-90's even better. ;)
Sounds great!
Jon; You need to get one of the knob pullers that Stew-Mac sells. Gibson does sell an Historic LP Jr.But I don't think they sell a regular, non-Historic version!
was this a 2019- version? my 2018 looks a lot different under the hood and I am not crazy about the sound.
Hey should i put some shems spacers on my p90 dog ear?
I do, because they sit so low
@@cliffords2315 ok
👍
I know that it’s “vintage spec” but what’s the advantage of using a 250k tone pot instead of a 500k?
The 250K tone pot fattens the tone of the bridge pickup just a bit compared to a 500K pot.
@@ThroBakChannel So on a 2 P90 pickup guitar would you use the 250k tone pot on the bridge and a 500k tone pot on the neck. Also do you use linear or log pots. Thanks
Can we put copper foil cover behind that pick up?
You can but the Copper may make eddy currents that could change the tone of the pickup. Personally I would not do it.
@@ThroBakChannel what if i just change the wiring and keep the stock pick up will i feel a change?
You will get improved treble response with our harness over the standard Gibson harness.
Ok what other upgrades do i need i have a 2023 gibson les paul junior sunburst
Personally I would do the pickup, harness and bridge. We don’t offer a bridge but Mojoaxe and Music City Bridge are two popular options.
If you don't have the knob remover tool, a couple of spoons work much better much easier than the towel/cloth trick.
I replaced the black knobs on my 2023 Gibson LP JR and there was no way to get anything under them. I grab the channel locks.aa thick cloth as to not damage knobs, and pull the suckers up and off.
