Dude, one of your videos popped up in my feed the other day, I am a huge fan man! You are doing things that the average joe can do. Your kits are absolutely beautiful. You play very well. And you’re just a normal dude.
Thanks for the kind words. I have been busy playing music lately and not making much videos but I have some new stuff in the works coming that hopefully will help me get some more subscribers. Thanks for watching
Appreciate the review! Now that so much time has passed, and these are $90, have you found any other relatively affordable brands you’d rec? I have a couple cheap LP’s that are fine, save for the pickups, and I was wondering if I could save some $, since Lollar’s, Bare Knuckle’s, etc sound great but are rather pricey even used… Thx for your time, man, not sure why these don’t have any other reviews since they seem somewhat popular
I have had success with Guitar fetish pickups which are reasonably priced and pretty nice quality. I like the Earl Slick line of pickups best. However, that being said in recent years I have really found you get what you pay for with pickups. While yes, you can go the more affordable route and get pretty good stuff if you're willing to spend a few bucks more you almost always get a better sounding/quality pickup.
Venancio Portalatin, based on the name, I'd think they could, but can you get that old van Halen, like best of both worlds album sound from these? If you've ever heard eruption or ain't talking bout love you know what I'm talking about, and sorry for asking questions I just don't want to buy and install these without knowing what I'm getting into 😅
P-90’s are a completely different pickup to these. I love both Humbuckers & P-90’s so for me I’d say it depends on the sound you’re looking for? If you’re looking for a good lower output vintage style humbucker then these are a great choice. If you want more output and growl and don’t mind the noise then go P-90.
Yeah but theres a P90s that are wax potted and ceramic they are not that noisy but I’m really considering this pickups for my SG since I play from Blues rock Psychedelic to Black sabbath ,, do you think will do for my purposes ?
Yeah, they’ll get you there for sure. If you dig that classic PAF type humbucker sound you’ll dig these. I use this guitar for everything from Harder rock to classic rock, blues and even jazz. Very versatile pickup. They’re not to hot which is what I like about them because I find hot humbucker a to be muddy in the mids at times. For $70 -ish they’re totally worth trying. I think they sound just as good as brands twice the price.
Greg Schmit I haven't put my meter to them but according to the website it's 7.3k neck & 8.1k bridge. They're not supper hot but the original PAF's really aren't meant to be. - www.byoguitar.com/Guitars/Blizzard-of-59----Vintage-Humbucker-Set__BYO-BLIZZARD-SET.aspx
Greg Schmit yeah, they're great pickups. Fat bottom end, crisp mids & clear top end. I was very impressed with them when I first plugged this guitar in.
Just a suggestion but you need to make it in such a way that we can't hear the guitar because that is definitely adding a certain treble factor to the sound. Keep up the good work

Thanks for the kind words. Glad you dig the videos. I have a lot of fun making them.
Dude, you sold me on these And I just installed them last night on my epiphone sg along with a rolling bridge. Love them! Thanks.
Awesome, you're gonna dig um. They're far superior to the Stock Epi pickups. I love them.

Another great movie. Greetings from Poland :)
PaulixBlack cheers, thanks for the kind words.
Nice playing and demo. Keep it up.
I' ve a set of this pickups. very good tone!! for a very good price!!
How DC resistance of these pickups are? Thanks before
would you recommend these pickups? im considering buying an epiphone sg special and putting in a set of these or the byo eruption humbuckers.
Absolutely, I love them.

Oh sorry these aren't the byo eruption pickups, im on the wrong video, sorry, still love the sound though
Anyone know how these pickups would compare to gfs fat Pat's or vintage 59
Not sure but I will say they have a great vintage PAF type of vibe. I love them.
Do you recommend this better than the P90s ? For an Epiphone Sg?
P-90’s are a completely different pickup to these. I love both Humbuckers & P-90’s so for me I’d say it depends on the sound you’re looking for?

What kind of music/bands do you like? Any particular guitarist tone your looking to emulate?
What scale length is that guitar. Sounds 25.5
24.75 Gibson scale
Great vid. Looking at the BYO site now... don't see a harness for this setup though. Is it no longer available?
its the lp jr harness with a toggle added.
Are the Blizzard pickups 4 conductor?
No, they’re only 2. The boy Eruption pickups are 4 though
I put them in a strat build
Yo V! Sound Great again! Any idea what the impedance/output is on the pickups?

Thats why they are nice and bright! I like a lower wind. Doesn't get muddy. I kind of figured as much....Thanks man!
Greg Schmit yeah, they're great pickups. Fat bottom

you need to do this in some way that the strings are not so prevalent in the sound.
I did this video 6 years ago & do my audio differently now.
too much talk and not enough play. Your amp isn't up lough enough to really hear what the pickups can do.
