Telecaster Seymour Duncan Hot rails changing

[TheAlexkru]

i have the same tele, i love what you did with it i was thinking of upgrading pickups to more of a vintage tele sound because i dig the sound of the tele. if i had another one i would put these in it as well because i like the sound of humbuckers in a tele as well

[MrSANDEURR]

hey i have an question about the pickups, i replaced the stock pu's with the seymour duncan hot rails but now my telly is making an anoying hum on the bridge only pickup, in middle and neck position it's perfect. but soon as i switch to the bridge position it starts to hum, and if i place a finger on the tone/volume button's the humming stops. can you please help me? i have payed enough for these awsome pickups

[DaRealDouds]

@MrSANDEURR Hi, maybe you have some trouble with the grounding of your tele. Because there's nothing like this on mine and i have just made a simple standard exchange of those. Try to check the cable on the bridge position.

[MrSANDEURR]

@DaRealDouds do you have the stock cables, or the cables that were attached to the pickup ?

[DaRealDouds]

@MrSANDEURR honnestly I just remove the original pickup and put the hotrail instead... I don't even change anything special...

[MrSANDEURR]

@DaRealDouds okay! i didn't know that that was possible too! maybe iam going to try that, thanks a lot sir!

[MrSANDEURR]

@DaRealDouds alright, the stock cables i have are just black and white, en on the hotrail pickup i have 5 diffrent colour cables :p

Hey I got it in, sounds really good! I like it, ton of output, really hot!

[jma111000]

Yep! Thanks for thee reply.

[jma111000]

I got a hotrail for my strat, it's for bridge position. Its getting installed in a few days! Nice video too, really like the tele and good playing.

[DaRealDouds]

@jma111000 thanks for your comment, I have tested a strat whith those pickups, it's nice too!! keep rockin'

[ridzirocks]

Being a player of guitars with humbuckers for the majority of my guitar playing time, I feel that installing humbuckers completely kills that unique tone to Teles and Strats. I feel that it's missing the point when you install humbuckers in a Tele/Strat. You are better off getting an LP for example if you want that humbucker sounds. But that's just my two cents worth..

[DaRealDouds]

@ridzirocks I knew that my tele would not became a LP but I tried and I love the result. I think music is art and you have to tried some experiences witch are not in the standards.

[LoyalKnightofOrion]

I'm upgrading my telecaster with a seymour duncan in the bridge and a seymour duncan hot rails in the neck. It's going to be brutal!!! >:D

[jarrantyler]

Great video. The hot rails really shined when u hit those heavy riffs. Just to prove that a Tele can play ANY GENRE of music under the sun....

I love all kinds of music, even metal, & ur Tele w/ the SD Hot Rails can now play metal...

Gotta love Teles....

& lemme say, Squier had sooo stepped up their game w/ their Teles.

Ex. Classic Vibe 50s Tele

[moeblues247]

So this is a straight replacement with no alterations at all?

[DaRealDouds]

@moeblues247 Yes

[porsaspersereika]

did you change the setup or is it the pick ups because hot rails sounded a lot lot heavier, maybe a little bit too much, but maybe it's just the volume and camera mic combination

[Maafa1619]

It sounded better with the Squier pups. That could be because you chose to demo it by playing Jimi's "Little Wing." I'm sure that the new pickups with kick the old ones' respective asses on something by Sepultura, or anyone of their ilk.

[3Telecasters]

I put a hot rail pick up on the bridge side of my homemade Telecaster and it sounds wonderful. It was my favorite until I picked up a new tele with P90's, that thing is sweat. Well maybe I now have two favorites, the P90 Tele and the Hot Rail Tele!

Great comparison, Thank you.

[donaldrlong]

brilliant demo. i wish all demos were done this well. thank you.

[DaRealDouds]

@donaldrlong Thank you very much for your support



[JamesOhGoodie]

I love that you played Korn for a job involving, of all things, a Telecaster!

[svehenen]

is it worth getting the squier affinity or should I save up for a 'better' Telecaster?

[DAYOFTHEDEAD232]

AND HOW MUCH WOULD THAT COST ?...GETTING IT INSTALED AND EVERYTHING BRO?

[DaRealDouds]

@DAYOFTHEDEAD232 Hi, I bought those on internet for 120€. Then I made the instalation by myself, really easy and priceless!

[DAYOFTHEDEAD232]

@DaRealDouds AND 120 E WHATEVER ABOUT HOW MUCH ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?$ LOL DOLLARS

[StratPlayer4Life]

good vid, i must say i liked the hot rails more but the playing is what makes the guitar sound good, and you did that!

[DaRealDouds]

@StratPlayer4Life Thanks for that comment! I appreciate!

[MultiRitalin]

hey man....great playing...maaan that sounds aweasome.....im currently thinking of buying a used squier tele and wanted the exact sound you have and now i think ill put these hot rails on the tele.....i want an eddie vedder sound and a bluesy sound...at the same time when i play clean, i want a nice lush resonance....which ...question: is that sustain coming from the guitar or the amp?.....might be a dumb question but i need to know.ive always associated a tele with a nice bluesy bassy sound

[DaRealDouds]

@MultiRitalin Thanks for that comment, in fact the sustain come from both, the reverb of the fender blues junior, and also from the pickups of course. I also have a great sustain with those on my marshall class 5 with a great natural distorted sound.

[BassOnABudget]

ive been wanting to get a set of hr's for a while but I don't feel like messing up the look of my thinline. I might get a sx tele and mod it. Thanks for the comparison vid :D

[benroethig]

Hotrails are 4-conductor, so you can coil split them. Also of note, the Strat and Tele are somewhat different in tone.

[fadeproofmakug2]

NIIICE sound, i have some hot rails on my strat. one question, can you split coil a hot rails? i want to buy a tele and do the same thing, but i'm still needing the single coil tone for some parts. nice playing =)

[BassOnABudget]

I want to put these in my tele but it's a thinline and I don't want to lose the look. Does the chrome cover still fit over the neck pickup?

[DaRealDouds]

@BassOnABudget I did'nt try to keep this chrome cover but honnestly I don't think it'll fit over the pickup. It's exactly the same shape and size... You can almost get the bridge one, it's my favourite!

[BassOnABudget]

@DaRealDouds Ok, thanks for the info. Ill probably get some vintage fender's for the thinline and get another standard tele to put the sd hotrails in :D It's only an SX guitar so there not that expensive.

[notsure023]

great job on this video man i dig  the back to back sound comparisons.

[DaRealDouds]

@notsure023 Thank you very much! Those two picks are amazing!

[DaRealDouds]

Hot rails for tele are black, maybe the white one are for strats, i think. But they're actually humbuckers in single coil shape. And sound really good!

[TrippyTheShroom]

@DaRealDouds Wow...those took to gain VERY well. That Enter Sandman part sounds awesome with those Hot Rails in it

[DaRealDouds]

@TrippyTheShroom Thanks a lot! I just purchase a Marshall Class 5 to get the english great sound, and with those two baby the sound is awesome!

[harshrocsu]

hey i saw a seymour duncan hot rail pickups which was white in color and just was a single coil ...is that good or the music shop is faking it...i live in india
