@guitarRiffs13 this is my 2006 custom shop 1960 historic reissue. The pickups are now Sheptone blue skies. I don't have access to this YouTube so I apologize for the long wait time
do you recommend this one in the bridge ? i am thinking of buying this one in the bridge and a seth lover in the neck in my epiphone les paul.what do you think ?(you have a Crazy tone,love it)
it's important to stretch the strings a bit while tuning, pull up on the string with the right hand, tune, pull up again, check tuning, etc. Also, if the guitar is still going out of tune, the nut may need some graphite. It's common for strings to catch in the nut, even if it's slight, it will hamper tuning. You may tune a string, but as soon as you bend that string, it will catch in the nut just enough to make it sharp or flat.
The other issue is making sure the intonation is set.
@lostlemming apologize dude, i had a guy work on this guitar around the time of this video, he made it worse lol the nut is crazy and full of kinks, i did tune up before the video, it just slips so easily, i have since had the guitar repaired, plays like a dream once again. my house was recently broken into, this was one of the two they left, thankfully!
@kristofferpence R U on Facebook?Did you post that you would be out/away at the time of the break in anywhere?People/thieves look for that.Sorry about your loss.I'd be out hunting with a machette for the/those assholes.
@kristofferpence Facebook criminals befriend people,then when they post out of town or going out all night they break in.How do you know they were staking out your home for a week?And,why didn't anyone notice people staking you out?WTF.Were the scumbags caught?
@MrJohnnyDistortion We realized after the fact that every night we would come home our side gate was open. i remember we were at a barbeque at my aunts house the night before and i went around to take the trash out and the gate was open. Then i left for school in the morning and my mom went out to the store later, she wasn't gone long. they came in a window in our backyard. The garage was open when she got home, i was so furious. stole 12,000 worth of my shit, ONLY mine
@MrJohnnyDistortion they stole the following: Canon t1i camera, 1959 gibson les paul reissue with sheptone BK pickups, LsL saticoy that i had CUSTOM MADE just for me with a hand picked neck and body and a hand shaved neck, a 2006 gibson les paul DC pro, a 1996 Epiphone les paul birdseye ( wasn't mine), a 2006 Fender Telecaster reissue, a 1994 takamine FP 360s. They left me with almost nothing bro, im so thankful to at least still have this les paul in the video, ive had it fixed and its my baby
@kristofferpence It's a little late but please Google Brickhouse Security.They have devices such as wall warts that are motion activated and take photos of anyone entering the room.I bet the assholes that did this to you know you or someone that does.Pisses me off when someone thinks that they can take what you've worked for.Have state officials check in state and out of state pawn shops,craigslist and any sites you can think of.Criminals aren't that smart.Bastards!
@JesusNiettoTalkz haha what you trying to say lol, i cant use a vintage style with old fabric? haha i know, i dont have it anymore, it was stolen along with 12,000$ in other gear from my house, this guitar wasnt stolen, but the 59 with sheptones in my other video was stolen, was my favorite, but hey i cant do a thing about it
@kristofferpence oh dude i'm sorry to hear that, well, to read lol, btw, is this your other account or something? It's funny how they took the strap and not the guitar hahah, they're """good people""" though D:
@LesterPaul01 lol this is me, i dont have access to this account anymore, ive had the nut worked over, full of kinks, dirty as hell. my house was broken into and the 59 in my other video was stolen, fortunately this was laying by the front door, plays like a dream now. sorry for the tuning nonsense
hey man, what do you like about the Antiquities? dude , I have to be brutally honest. There's a cat that plays an epiphone les paul with antiquities and it puts your LP to shame tone wise. I itchin to get a set of Ants. their half the price of Thro baks and sound just as paffy. rock on.
@LesterPaul01 lol there is nothing wrong with epi's you can get great tone out of anything lol. adn this video has shitty audio lol . i play this guitar now and again, luckily it wasnt stolen when my house was robbed, they stole most everything but left this one by the front door. they stole the 59 from my other videos. i prefer sheptone over seymour and pretty much everything else, but i like the antiquites, they are clear, but have a nice punch, with great mid range
@LesterPaul01 It's not only about pup's,it's about tubes,tube type,tube grades,speakers,caps and other amp mods as well.Example;ever plugged into a 4x12 loaded with 25 watt Greenback Celestions and then 75 watt GB Celestions?BIG difference.25's are so much sweeter.Old school.Find out what the Epiphone players rig is all about.Bet you that's where his tone secrets are.R&R!
@MrJohnnyDistortion You are absolutely right.. There are a lot of variables to the equation. If I dropped 25 watters in my twin or my deluxe reverb, IYO what would be the results? By the way the cat with the epi plays through a deluxe reverb and he's running a alnico blue speaker? I think. It's not the bullshit jensen design.Thanks for the info.
@LesterPaul01You'd get smoother natural speaker breakup without driving the head and squashing tone.Depends what style you're playing,rock,blues etc..Allot of guys have different cabs/speakers/heads and mix for what tones/distortion they want.To me,300 watt cabs with 75 watt Celestions sound sterile,choke tone.Old school rockers prefer 25's.Plug your amp into different cabs and see what you hear.I play classic/hard rock,Zep,Sabbath,Skynyrd.25's always sounded best for everything.R&R!
@MrJohnnyDistortion Thanks Mr. Johnny D. By the way, we have the same taste in music. What type of guitars pups do you favor? My go to axe is my 08' traditional LP. It has 57 classics. I have tried pearly gates,burstbucker 1 and 2, BB pros. they all sounded kinda thin. I always run back to the 57's. They are so versitile and rich.but there are pups that sound more paffy if you will. I am eyeing out Antiquities now. I guess I'm a gear whore. LOL! Hmm, 25 watters food for thought. rock on.
@LesterPaul01 Almost always I'd use 57 & J Beck.Guitars almost strictly Gibson SG's,flat top LP's/P90'S,P100'S,V's,Explorers.I've read that the SD Antiquities are very near sounding the custom wound pups like the Tom Holmes.Ben Wabranes is another 1 I like and Kinman or Kineman P90's,can't remember.Theres a guy on YT that does an excellent review on these.MONSTER tone,mod''d amps.Yes,25's.That's what was around in the 60's/70's.Then the 75's for warranty purposes.Try many speakers & listen.
@rumblebox thanks man, its been worked over since then, i dont use this rig anymore , but still have the amp in the closet. its fantastic, the nut was terrible in this video, i had a unprofessional luthier look it over. i do all my own setup work and pickup swaps, guitar wiring, and hell, now i make my own pickups on the side lol, ive come a long way since this video
@HearingLossProvider lol i havent reffered to this guitar as Maybelle in a long time, my house was recently broken into, and literally everything was taken except this guitar, tells me something, meant to be maybe? had it worked on since and i swapped the antiquities out for yet another set of antiquities, with a hotter neck and a little bit colder bridge. love this thing though, my number one, always has been
@brinekoffe i apologize dude, the nut on this guitar was insanely trippy, its been cleaned out and totally changed since then. Ill make another , much better demo soon
Wow, that does suck, man. Just try to keep in mind, it's just stuff. You can get even custom guitars replaced by new custom guitars. That thief will get his!
@TheFlyers09 dude this is me, i cannot access this account anymore. i have just as many fenders as i do gibsons, even though i was just recently robbed. I love fender, but i love gibson too, both get equal use.
@thestooty thanks man, just recently got robbed and luckily this was actually sitting next to the front door, ran out of room i guess lol. they got my 59 with sheptones in my other video and 6 other guitars including a few gibsons and fenders and a guitar i had custom made just for me. sucks ass, but what can you do. and dude, the nut on this guitar is insanely kinky and always detunes so sorry
@thestooty Why do Gibson persist in using crap nuts for their guitars, I have replaced every gibson nut with a bone nut they never stay in tune with the stock nuts because they cant cut them right.
By the way the vid is not a good idea what these pups sound like to much peaking the mic
@prsfrank Ain't that the truth! I replaced mine as well. They make something called "Nut Sauce" that works pretty good too, if you haven't already checked into that.
Nice guitar. Nice to hear a good set of Gibson replacements that sound good clean or distorted. I was looking at the Dimarzzio 36 anniversary PAFs as a replacement set for my Gibson but they broke up to much and didn't get a great clean tone. These antiquities are cool. Straplocks,...check good idea. The top looks beautiful. Everything looks good but I would think of replacing the tuners to the Grovers. You can always go back to stock, but the grovers are solid! other than that, Rock on!
it's not a tuning issue. he's prolly using some large gauge strings that his nut isnt cut for...you can hear the wound strings ping'ing in the nut when he tunes. no biggie. pickups sound good man.
@melonheed3 dude i posted this video, had problem with google accounts and cannot really access it lol. yeah the nut on the guitar has so many kinks its ridiculous ,and the guy i had set it up cut the nut slots to damn deep, this guitar has great tone but alot of problems. think i am going to eventually change the pickups to sheptone
@guitar15243 in this video i was just using what i used to, which is Ernie Ball Slinky Top Heavy Bottom (10-52). i use GHS now, because they have great tone, but last a little bit longer. and on strats its mostly GHS 10-52 or D'Addario 10-46 depending on the guitar
dude!!! i had to say it..... while trying ot hear ur demonstration u kept having to re tune ur guitar, U KNOW WHY????? BECAUSE GIBSON TUNERS SUCK!!! SO PLEASE! GET SOME GOOD TUNERS ON THERE,,, FOR U! AND FOR THE REST OF US.... lol
@publicservant2009 the nut i have on this guitar is absolute garbage dude, so many kinks and binds its ridiculous, wont stay in tune to save a life. its actually alot better now
I don't understand how Gibson is willing to sell $3000+ guitars with the same tuning issues as $300 Epiphones. One of these days, we'll have to band together and boycott Gibson until they learn what Q.C. means.
@fujikun693 You must not know how to string your post like a mandolin player does and use some nut lubricant.I've used this post stringing method for years.No problems after moderate string stretching even under heavy hot stage lighting.How do you think the pro's stay in tune.Check your pegs in case they are loose.
@kristofferpence GREAT!This is how I wind the post after going thru the TP.Graphite grease the nut slots.E/A/D strings,stretch E string past E post bend @ A post .Slide E string through E post till bend stops,wind string backwards and "underneath" that first bend & bend string up.You now have 3 locking bends.Wynd string normally lapping "underneath" each previous wynd down to headstock.Measure 2 posts for G/B/E strings & repeat.Stretch each string smoothly/individually/lightly up and down.R&R.

@fujikun693 Have you ever tried the Gibson mandolin string post tuning/locking method along with some graphite nut slot wax?Check the nut string slot width for string hang ups.This method,after the strings have been slowely/evenly individually stretched out,has never failed me and all my Gibsons stay in tune even with heavy 4 note bends for hours.Gibson really should install Sperzels if the were smart and not so pig headed/cheap,but,they are.Let me know how this method works out.
@guitarcrazzzydude92 thanks man, but its starting to come around. but the guitar has been acting up as far as set up. the high E sounds a bit like a sitar. cant explain it
@krisgoldmusic The thing that's helped the most is keeping the string-slots clean. All kinds of dirt/debris gets in there and causes your string to hang up. Saved me money knowing this. Also, check string-height and all that. Like they say, the most-logical explanation is usually the simplest one.
@krisgoldmusic Ive had the same problem definitely time to have a respectable luthier fit a new nut on that sucker, if that doesnt work look into the bridge,sounds good though.
@krisgoldmusic if its at top frets probably nut needs replacement, if its all around on the e it might be that you need to adjust the bridge or the truss rod, try taking it into a local music shop ive found they're more than happy to help with this kind of stuff, also gibson usually puts pretty crappy tuners on their guitars stock dont ask me why, but the things can't keep tune at least from my experience you can get better ones for cheep sometimes it just requires you to retrofit to a 10mm hole
@nochi969286 yeah of course man. but honestly i would feel much more comfortable knowing that i reccomend you to go for the sheptone pickups that are in my other videos. The Antiquities are okay, but really in my honest opinion, they're nothing to rave about, i think you'd be MUCH happier if you go Sheptone dude, you can get just about any sound out of those pickups.
@REALCougarsRmales Agree with you there. Just got to go with what you like best. and for me, I tend to lean toward the sheptone more. these are nice too, but the sheptones have that little something these dont
@metalshredder14 ..... i have a seymour duncan 59 in another guitar, and they are somewhat similar. As a pickup winder myself, the tonal characteristics of these pickups are slightly woodier sounding, which is like a dry chirp, but enough bottom end and midrandge to balance them out. but let me tell you, this guitar just took a crap on me haha, everything is going out. I actually dont like Seymours pickups a whole lot anymore. go to my other vid and get Sheptone, IMO his are the BEST.
@metalshredder14 I'd answer it's impossible because SH1 59 Seymour Duncan are alnico V and antiquities are are alnico II. Alnico II sound sweeter and more vintage. I suppose these are similar to Seth Lover SH 55.
so u really don't like these pickups? any particular reason?i like my duncan distortion mayhem set but i am a rookie, just wanted to see what u thought of these pickups, pros and cons?
@luvz2sploogeify yah man they really just arent for me anymore, I have gotten into sheptone, to me seymour duncan used to be better. Frankly, I dislike mass produced pickups, I dont think you can get that same tone and I really have not been happy with any of his pickups. I actually wind my own pickups, I make tele and strat pickups and am currently designing p90s and humbuckers, all my stuff is vintage style, with my own little twist
@krisgoldmusic thats cool man, one thing most guitar players can agree on, at least the mature ones, is that tone is subjective. its all about what sounds good to your ears. good luck with ur new pickups and thanks for the response
@rene495 do you mean how much if I were to sell them?. I will probably never sell them but keep them in the collection, Im working with Jeff Shepherd of Sheptone pickups on finding a new set for this guitar, not sure what yet
anybody watching this video, the whole new youtube google thing screwed me up, this is me, using my other youtube account, any new videos will be posted on this account
@MrCptGonzo The tuners are fine, fixed the nut with some lube, stays in tune alot better now. Antiquities are great pickups, really glad that this video made you buy them. They are some of the only pickups I like from Seymour, but the sheptones that are in my 59 are VERY nice, among the nicest I have tried, although they have different magnets, the sheptones are a little bit warmer and a little clearer and more bell like, but the antiquities were made for this guitar and will never go out
@jakeizlove yes sir, not only in build quality and attention to detail. these pickups are just so sweet sounding. burstbuckers can sound really high end and shrill In my opinion. these are great sounding pickups and favor a wide variety of different styles of music.
thanks alot , you know I actually just put some nut lube in there about 3 days ago, its new from planet waves, its called lubrikit. MAN, it feels so good to not have that kinking noise and have the guitar go out of tune every time i bend haha. If you remember my demos along time ago, I used to Love the guitar in this video. but, its slipping away from me, to tell the truth, i like the sheptones a bit better, to me the sheptones are more accurate PAFs on the market. This guitar is my baby haha
Kris, I'm loving these demos. Both sets of pickups sound great. (Guitars don't look too bad either). Btw, when I first got my R8, any time I turned the tuning pegs, the strings made that annoying "ping" sound that I heard once or twice in this video. I've been using Big Bends Nut Sauce, which lubricates the nut so the string can slide without "catching" and pinging. Give it a try. It saved my sanity!
my LP stays in tune

@thestooty thanks man, just recently got robbed and luckily this was actually sitting next to the front door, ran out of room i guess lol. they got my 59 with sheptones in my other video and 6 other guitars including a few gibsons and fenders and a guitar i had custom made just for me. sucks ass, but what can you do. and dude, the nut on this guitar is insanely kinky and always detunes so sorry

@thestooty Why do Gibson persist in using crap nuts for their guitars, I have replaced every gibson nut with a bone nut they never stay in tune with the stock nuts because they cant cut them right.
By the way the vid is not a good idea what these pups sound like to much peaking the mic

@prsfrank Ain't that the truth! I replaced mine as well. They make something called "Nut Sauce" that works pretty good too, if you haven't already checked into that.

Nice guitar. Nice to hear a good set of Gibson replacements that sound good clean or distorted. I was looking at the Dimarzzio 36 anniversary PAFs as a replacement set for my Gibson but they broke up to much and didn't get a great clean tone. These antiquities are cool. Straplocks,...check good idea. The top looks beautiful. Everything looks good but I would think of replacing the tuners to the Grovers. You can always go back to stock, but the grovers are solid! other than that, Rock on!

@SuperSubydude not at all the tuners bro. its the damn nut dude, its insane and full of kinks and needs to be replaced
kristofferpence 8 months ago
it's not a tuning issue. he's prolly using some large gauge strings that his nut isnt cut for...you can hear the wound strings ping'ing in the nut when he tunes. no biggie. pickups sound good man.

@melonheed3 dude i posted this video, had problem with google accounts and cannot really access it lol. yeah the nut on the guitar has so many kinks its ridiculous ,and the guy i had set it up cut the nut slots to damn deep, this guitar has great tone but alot of problems. think i am going to eventually change the pickups to sheptone

@guitar15243 in this video i was just using what i used to, which is Ernie Ball Slinky Top Heavy Bottom (10-52). i use GHS now, because they have great tone, but last a little bit longer. and on strats its mostly GHS 10-52 or D'Addario 10-46 depending on the guitar

Cool guitar.
I don't understand how Gibson is willing to sell $3000+ guitars with the same tuning issues as $300 Epiphones. One of these days, we'll have to band together and boycott Gibson until they learn what Q.C. means.

@fujikun693 You must not know how to string your post like a mandolin player does and use some nut lubricant.I've used this post stringing method for years.No problems after moderate string stretching even under heavy hot stage lighting.How do you think the pro's stay in tune.Check your pegs in case they are loose.

SuperZoro101 6 months ago
@fujikun693 Have you ever tried the Gibson mandolin string post tuning/locking method along with some graphite nut slot wax?Check the nut string slot width for string hang ups.This method,after the strings have been slowely/evenly individually stretched out,has never failed me and all my Gibsons stay in tune even with heavy 4 note bends for hours.Gibson really should install Sperzels if the were smart and not so pig headed/cheap,but,they are.Let me know how this method works out.

@guitarcrazzzydude92 thanks man, but its starting to come around. but the guitar has been acting up as far as set up. the high E sounds a bit like a sitar. cant explain it
krisgoldmusic 1 year ago
@krisgoldmusic The thing that's helped the most is keeping the string-slots clean. All kinds of dirt/debris gets in there and causes your string to hang up. Saved me money knowing this. Also, check string-height and all that. Like they say, the most-logical explanation is usually the simplest one.

@krisgoldmusic Ive had the same problem definitely time to have a respectable luthier fit a new nut on that sucker, if that doesnt work look into the bridge,sounds good though.
jball476 1 year ago
@krisgoldmusic if its at top frets probably nut needs replacement, if its all around on the e it might be that you need to adjust the bridge or the truss rod, try taking it into a local music shop ive found they're more than happy to help with this kind of stuff, also gibson usually puts pretty crappy tuners on their guitars stock dont ask me why, but the things can't keep tune at least from my experience you can get better ones for cheep sometimes it just requires you to retrofit to a 10mm hole

nochi969286 1 year ago
@nochi969286 yeah of course man. but honestly i would feel much more comfortable knowing that i reccomend you to go for the sheptone pickups that are in my other videos. The Antiquities are okay, but really in my honest opinion, they're nothing to rave about, i think you'd be MUCH happier if you go Sheptone dude, you can get just about any sound out of those pickups.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

Do those pickups give a similar sound to a 59? because i was thinkin about installing these on my epi lp, great guitar and playin by the way!
metalshredder14 1 year ago
@metalshredder14 ..... i have a seymour duncan 59 in another guitar, and they are somewhat similar. As a pickup winder myself, the tonal characteristics of these pickups are slightly woodier sounding, which is like a dry chirp, but enough bottom end and midrandge to balance them out. but let me tell you, this guitar just took a crap on me haha, everything is going out. I actually dont like Seymours pickups a whole lot anymore. go to my other vid and get Sheptone, IMO his are the BEST.

KP
krisgoldmusic 1 year ago
@metalshredder14 I'd answer it's impossible because SH1 59 Seymour Duncan are alnico V and antiquities are are alnico II. Alnico II sound sweeter and more vintage. I suppose these are similar to Seth Lover SH 55.

luvz2sploogeify 1 year ago
@luvz2sploogeify yah man they really just arent for me anymore, I have gotten into sheptone, to me seymour duncan used to be better. Frankly, I dislike mass produced pickups, I dont think you can get that same tone and I really have not been happy with any of his pickups. I actually wind my own pickups, I make tele and strat pickups and am currently designing p90s and humbuckers, all my stuff is vintage style, with my own little twist
krisgoldmusic 1 year ago
@krisgoldmusic thats cool man, one thing most guitar players can agree on, at least the mature ones, is that tone is subjective. its all about what sounds good to your ears. good luck with ur new pickups and thanks for the response

You either need a new nut or new tuners, that thing seems to go out of tune almost instantly.
But the video is really nice. Made me buy them.
MrCptGonzo 1 year ago
@MrCptGonzo The tuners are fine, fixed the nut with some lube, stays in tune alot better now. Antiquities are great pickups, really glad that this video made you buy them. They are some of the only pickups I like from Seymour, but the sheptones that are in my 59 are VERY nice, among the nicest I have tried, although they have different magnets, the sheptones are a little bit warmer and a little clearer and more bell like, but the antiquities were made for this guitar and will never go out

thanks alot , you know I actually just put some nut lube in there about 3 days ago, its new from planet waves, its called lubrikit. MAN, it feels so good to not have that kinking noise and have the guitar go out of tune every time i bend haha. If you remember my demos along time ago, I used to Love the guitar in this video. but, its slipping away from me, to tell the truth, i like the sheptones a bit better, to me the sheptones are more accurate PAFs on the market. This guitar is my baby haha
KP
krisgoldmusic 1 year ago
Kris, I'm loving these demos. Both sets of pickups sound great. (Guitars don't look too bad either). Btw, when I first got my R8, any time I turned the tuning pegs, the strings made that annoying "ping" sound that I heard once or twice in this video. I've been using Big Bends Nut Sauce, which lubricates the nut so the string can slide without "catching" and pinging. Give it a try. It saved my sanity!
