New Pickups

nick123

Thanks to you guys I'm back at electronics. I replaced the pickups in my electric guitar, and recorded a short riff that I played with my new pickups. My goal was to sound like George Harrison. How do you think it sounds?

(The riff is by George Harrison)

  • Hey Nick--

     

    I am assembling a copy of my guitar (a 1989 Ibanez 540S) so I can experiment with different pickups, body finishes, and trem settings without damaging the original. How easy was it to swap out your pickups? I don't mind frying a few PCBs in the pursuit of advancing my knowledge of electronics, but damaging my instrument is a whole other thing.

     

    Also, did you notice a big difference after changing pickups? Opinions are mixed about the impact they have, given all the other variables down the signal path which can all affect your tone.
