    That's why i have loved emg pickups for the last 15 years as there pickups have universal disconnects. You can swap a set of pickups out in a couple of minutes. Nice to see more companies are catching up to emg.

    Great video! I'm thinking of that system, for my Harley Benton SC-450. Did you have to do any drilling to make the pots fit or does it drop right in?

    Contains not one but TWO terminators. Can always use an extra terminator.

    Hi Tony, you have a good point regarding heat from soldering damaging pots and capacitors.
    If only all manufacturers would agree on a standard type of connectors for pickups. this would make changing pickups an easy option for all of us.
    I use a soldering iron every day, but many players don't have one or the skills required.

      It is great to have a simpler option if needed.

    did you use the 250k 500k or 750k setup? A comparison video would be cool

    How responsive are the pots? It seem like most pots these days have a range of 0-3 or 4..

      Hi Alex. I like the responsiveness I am getting from these pots!

    Nice efficient system. But there is of course nothing in this system that could change the sound of the guitar, assuming the pots and caps have the same measured values as the originals. You didn't say if they did. The shielded conductors may have reduced noise if the original harness didn't have them, and the guitar was not shielded in any other way. But you didn't show the original internals.

    • @Martin7182

      Not necessarily. All components can be noisy, even if the shielding is perfect. Intrinsic noise can only be fixed by upgrading to better components. There's more than resistance and capacitance only, although they are of course the most important qualities.

      @@Martin7182 A pot can only be audibly noisy if it is worn or dirty. And then only when it is turned. Otherwise pot manufacturers would specify noise figures to prove their products are 'low noise'. They don't, because there is no such thing. And no pot manufacturer could sell a fundamentally 'noisy' pot anyway. Similarly a low-voltage capacitor could be noisy only if dysfunctional (remembering also that the tone cap is in a circuit going to ground, not the audible signal path), and would no longer provide the specified capacitance, ie the tone control would not work. So sure, replace dysfunctional parts. But otherwise resistance is resistance, and capacitance is capacitance in a guitar. Replacing working parts expecting some magic improvement in tone is voodoo to anyone who understands electronics. In any case, any harness manufacturer claiming a tonal improvement could easily measure the purported frequency or noise effect and provide proof. Do they ?

      @@vw9659 In short, all electronic components make noise, turn up the volume and you'll hear it. Some capacitors can be microphonic, so like I said: there's more than resistance and capacitance alone. But of course, when eliminating noise it is best to look at the weakest links in the chain first.

    • @vw9659
      @vw9659 4 года назад

      @@Martin7182 All components do not create noise. If noise increases when you turn up the volume it is upstream of the pot, usually EMR picked up by the pickups. If you are changing pots or caps for others of the same measured value, expecting a tonal or noise improvement, you are wasting your money.

    How do the pots feel though, do they turn easily

    Bit silly not showing a before and after sound comparison.

      Anon Ymous sound difference would don’t be perceptible on RUclips.
