Ok.. So, on Deadsy Talk with Deadsy... Luthier's/Advanced Engineering on not only electric guitars, basses, pick-ups, and electronics... Now, I understand not all of you know what a Luthier is, because you "think you know more" but we're the As****es who design, build and engineer the wiring for your s**t... So, today's topic is to put to rest the whole "Changing my tone up".. It's on the regular, you see someone posting some dude's signature series pick-ups in a guitar with the idealism "Changing my tone up".. Well, It Really doesn't work that way.. See, dropping a set of hotter pickups into a guitar with stock company Potentiometers, Resistors, wire gauges, and so on doesn't do much other than suck the same resistance your other pickups were having to battle.... Each component in your electric guitar is a Mathematical calculation... Your instrument basically runs on Resistance... All the way from the pickups to the Amplifier.. So, throwing a hot ass set of pick-ups over top of stock 250k or 500k Potentiometers which are most factory standard.. (the thingines that control volume, and tone k***s) is basically defeating a whole load of purpose.... There are more and better options.. However, I'm just an alternative luthier and engineer with over 30 years of experience in playing and working. What do I know..... P.S... #313.... All hail the everlasting Guitar God Jason Becker!!...........
