    The pickups sound great. And that’s some damn tasty phrasing!

    I’m late to the party on these. I paired the overwound in the bridge with the oversized neck pickup and these pickups rock. It’s getting the spank on without being too twangy. And they both clean up very well. I put an open style pickup ring around the neck pickup to dress things up and to keep the E string from getting hung under the pickup. Thanks for your review on these. There weren’t very many others and it helped me pull the trigger on them. And great playing btw. 👍

    Got the Artec version of these from Guitar Madness for less than $30 for the set on sale. Bridge about 7.8K neck is about 9K, definitely have to drop the neck into the pickguard to balance with the bridge. Set bridge height first, watch out for wolf tones, then set the neck height measuring dBs.
    Cut down an open nickel silver neck cover so the lip stopped against the bobbin, poles *just* fit inside the cut out, independent ground lead. Swapped the brass ground plate on the bridge for a copper plated steel one, attached with silicon. Prolly my wishful thinking took over my ears but the bridge sounds less veiled. Unveiled??
    They arent touchy like most high outputs but they're definitely loud, lol. And they absolutely swallow gobs of gain.
    Neck is more woody than I'm used to, first wired them with 50s tone control wiring, went back to modern with a treble bleed which brought highs out but lost too much low end. Back to 50s wiring and tried a Vox amp-in-a-box pedal, not quite, ditched the Vox. Dusted off the Rangemaster clone, the Champ clone, and grabbed a very thin pick. That did it!
    Nuts good through a friend's Princeton Reverb. Flatwounds might be in order...
    Still, not at all like other hot Tele sets, like the Nocaster-alikes that can cut your head off if they get on top of you, or the (somewhat silly I must say) Mr Seymour and Mrs Duncan hot Quarter Pounders. Very jazzy clean, spanky and rather twang-free. For $30...

    That baby sounds like she does run a bit hot under the hood! Dig it, though I usually like a little lower output so all my flubs don't stand out as much hahah. Good review Rick, and great playing as always man.

      It doesn't always work. This title came from the first one I did with a Melody Maker Les Paul. It slipped off but luckily no damage. I always get these guitars lent to me. I don't want to hurt them. Thanks for watching and commenting!!

    Are the pickups that quiet, or is your tele shielded....? Do you use a noise gate...? I just ordered a Fatbody Neck pickup with a repro 60' Hot bridge pickup, and then came across a video reminding me of how irritating the hum can be with single coils... so, wondering how you got your Tele so quiet with the Guitar Fetish pickups... Also. what pots and caps are you using...? Thx...!

    • @RickRomanelli
      @RickRomanelli  Год назад

      It's not my tele so I can't answer many of these questions. I do not use a noise gate. I use a volume pedal and the volume knob. Thanks for watching.
