How To Replace Pickups On A Strat - By Seymour Duncan

[Rightcheous]

Thanks! great tutorial. Looking to get a cheap Aria and replace the pickups with some seymour duncans

[dannidezzy]

He mate

Could u do a bid on how to change then when u have a humbucker

[Radiscool1]

I can't find any tutorials on how to change pickups on a guitar without a pickguard. I have an Ibanez GRG170DX (it's HSH and no pickguard) and I wanted to put Seymour Duncans or EMGs on it (I think I like the sound of Duncans better)

[wrestlingfan12321]

could i change my stacked humbuckers (about the same as in the video) with EMG 81 and 85?

[harris361]

I want to get a SSL-5 for my Bridge, but after watching this I feel a bit scared of screwing up my beloved guitar.

He sounds like Tom delonge

[dill2528]

@houghton2020 no he doesnt??

[WatchPlayDownload]

I used my cum rag. Now I can hear what used to be inside of my cock.

[snakebyte0094]

Can't this be done a shorter way?

[GuitaristAidan]

I replaced pickups loads of times but this video showed me how to do it in a neat and organised way :D

[Ellustrium]

started watching this video thinking....how hard could it possibly be??? .....wow

[lurima52511]

keep on pluckin'

[MrWadestar]

What about a HSS setup?

[geteese]

He's a very a cool man. I do want to have a job like this!!.

Best Instructional Video Ever!

[mmim4]

i have a jackson js32t king v it has passive pickups can i replace them with active emg 81s?

[richogem]

@mmim4 and where are u gonna put the batteries exactly ? -__-

[mmim4]

@richogem inside there is plenty of room its a small battery......

[richogem]

@mmim4 well yeah you can do it.

but i dont suggest so.

[mmim4]

@richogem why so?

[richogem]

@mmim4 because it will kill the batteries i believe..

its just im not a big fan of active pickups.. what happens when the batteries go live? in a middle of a song?

if you want insane sustain, change your nut to that ball-bearing nut thing.. i have longer sustain on a strat than on a stock LES PAUL with that thing..

[Strateuphoria]

@richogem a longer scale gives better sustain, also if all the 6 screws on the trem is flush and equally tightened, you get a heck load more resonance, so much so, that I have to put a muter under the springs in the spring cavity to get rid of the "wang" reverb off the springs. Active pick-ups, electric guitar don't need active pick-ups, bass does. If you feel you need active pick-ups, maybe its the amp. But they can last 6 months to a year if you plug the jack out when not playing.

[Strateuphoria]

@richogem what happens if the battery in your pedal runs out. If its a paid gig, buy a battery.

[guitarfreakRSS]

Dude looks like a lady! hahaha seriously though this guy is good thanks for the video.

[GuitarSpivak]

His is a cool dude.

[rama6maiden]

only diffuvult thing is to know where to solder the cables!!!

[MrDrummerFreak]

this is easy if u have used a soldering iron atleast once before i'm a kid too and did fine ive only done it once before

[klassklown44]

what the hell... how is the avrage person supposed to do this!!!!!!\

im trying to replace my humbucker with a DiMazario Super distortion but idk what to do

[Guitarhero617]

@klassklown44 replacing humbuckers would be different from what he shows here. Actually, this is pretty much a guide specifically for a strat or strat-style guitar with single coil pickups. Just google search "replace Les Paul pickups diagram" (I'm assuming you have a Les Paul, but if not, obviously just change the name of the guitar) and you'll find thousands of websites that will give you step-by-step instructions

[xxxGRENADESxxx]

Wow, do they do this for you at Guitar Center? I'm only a kid and I don't want to screw up. I have a Squier and I wanna fix the cheap tone.

[thegreggreport]

i think they do, if your not sure, call the store and ask

[SimplyChr15]

would I need to buy a new pickguard to fit the Humbucker ?

[chopskater]

if your old pickguard was made for single coil pickups then yes.

[FsEtNrDaEtR92]

Yes, but your local guitar shop more than likely has pickguards built for different size pickups. I know that Fender specifically sells different pickguards for various pickup variations, such as HSS, HH, pretty much anything you can think off.

[0852659luis]

yes you do need a new pick guard.

[Ryder19944]

@SimplyChr15 i think you need to buy a new pickguard. or you have to buy some decent pickup which have the power of a humbucker. i guess Seymour Ducan has something like that.

[manelcebas]

@SimplyChr15 There are some hambuckers with the size of a single coil!

[Rebound443]

@SimplyChr15 you can just saw a bigger hole.

[SGTCloudrunner]

@SimplyChr15 You don't have to but it'd probably be the easier option. You could of course just cut your existing pick guard to fit a humbucker.

[yangadoshi]

@SimplyChr15 yes but u can cut a hole with a dremel to fit it in.

[SimplyChr15]

would it be possible if I can change a "Single - Coil Pickup"

on a stratocaster

to a "Humbucker Variations" on my strat ?

I'm kind of a Newbie on this stuff haha

[OVER9000MUDKIPWTF]

can some one give me osme help? I am I am not replacing my pickups I just wanted t pratice removing and reattaching the picguard if I do, and I found a couple springs in the guitar under the pickups and I can't get the pickups back in they get way too high or the screws get too lose can somebody help?

[joshcouch]

yeah but it cleans up your signal a lot, puts more bass in it, and makes it sound really washy ... it's not good ... but seymour duncan makes a humbucker that fits in a single coil slot. it's called a Seymour Duncan SHR-1 ... it gives you a fat, heavy tone that humbucer give you ... im getting one for my bridge pickup in my strat ... check it out.

[cheenusrinu001]

so for a 5 ways pickup selector strat... the 2nd 4th posoition. make the single as humbucker...cuz its connected parallel...am i rite..

[ahvaimusicom]

what did he use for the "terminals" on the pickups?

[PeeNoYaKo]

WHOA He used Mark Knopfler's Strat! AWESOME!

[MountainDew231767]

hey, umm any help guys? i recently bought a new pickguard and pickups to fit it, and two screws in the pickups dont go in, they just push the pickup out more, how come, and i tried holding it still forcing it in but just doesnt wanna go in, why though?

[joesl8]

That's pretty much what the screws do, I believe. You adjust them to height that way. Try screwing them in first, without the guard to get that thread opened up (man that sounds nasty). Good luck. Oh by the way it's great seeing a master at work, the SSL1's are great. I know it's subjective but they're almost as good as some Fralins & Fender Fat 50s I've tried for a little less.

[MountainDew231767]

oh nvm i forgot to add this but my local music store helped me with it.

[luckylarrys]

What wattage soldering iron are you using? THANKS!

[odinaudio]

Hey There luckylarrys

I Do Not Know What Wattage Seymour Is Using But A 40-60 Should Be Fine

[luckylarrys]

Thanks for the info!

[rbsproductions]

cool!
