I'm puttin a DP100 Super Distortion as my bridge pickup and a PAF 36 anniversary as my neck pickup on my strat. And my middle pickup will most likely be some kind of single coil.
@vcokev La Twang King la cambié yo mismo, costó como CLP$50.000. La Fast Track II tuve que mandarla a instalar, porque está diseñada para la Stratocaster. Esto fue en Viña, en ProSound .
Ahora, yo puse la FT2 porque no encontré la Chopper-T. Si consigues la Chopper-T mejor ponle esa, y la puedes instalar tu mismo.
@fcatrin ohh gracias man, te pasaste :D a penas venda mi guitarra voy a lograr la telecaster haha donde encontraste la twang king? no la he podido encontrar en ninguna parte, soy de viña igual
It's people like that who make telecaster owners like myself look bad. Firstly, it honestly sounds nothing like an Ibanez. Secondly, the neck sounds just like a telecaster. To me, it seems like he made his guitar more versatile. A guitar is a piece of wood. It can sound however you want it to sound. Please come down from your most holy 'tele twang' pedestal for a second and realize that.
hey man can I ask you something? I have a dimarzio fastrack 2 in the bridge of my strat and on the same setting on my amp with both knobs turned up full, the strat has the annoying single coil hiss thing going on, yet when i put my inbanez with humbuckers in, on the exact same settings it is completely quiet. Also the humbuckers on the ibanez sound way chunkier. The ibanez only cost £200. Have i wired my ft2 wrong? I heard they are the same as humbuckers but stacked? Mines dosn't seem like it :/
@flamen89 that could very be a wiring problem or just due to the how the hot the pick ups are wired. i would expect hum from this style of pick up.. im having the hard task of finding a replacement for my tele pick up as hum in the studio is a huge pain in the backside.
Anyone looking to duplicate this experience: Squire's "Vintage Vibe" series is really really good, not to mention it's a PINE telecaster like the first tele's ever.
Why..why...WHY does everybody demo pups with overdrive and distortion? Don't you guys know that some of us out here actually play with a clean sound? I couldn't tell the difference between a $160 Barden and a $30 GFS with that set-up. PLEASE re-submit a CLEAN sound demo for us old fart-purist-country hillbilies.
@BostonWidowers yeah man i got a shit ass rg 320dxqm off ebay and first i suppsed it up with tonezone then put in a fukin paf joe and now i put in a push/pull pot and 3 way switch now it sounds KILLAH!! i can get pauls or any1's tone really :)
Woah, that's some great tone! And nice E arpeggio ending!
Can't wait to mount my Twang king neck and bridge along side a hot minibucker in the middle position to my Warmoth Tele when if comes in. Maybe watching telecaster videos isn't the best way to help me wait......
Dude, that guitar sounds really good, in fairness to you. Was thinking of buying a squier tele and modding it. Was debating between the dimarzio pickups you have, or a pair of fender 51 nocasters. Keep in mind i have a les paul and i really want a twangy lively light punk sound (like some of the early green day sounds).
And before anybody says it, i already have a very very good amp, all i want is to have a modding project on a different tyoe of guitar.
I have a question. If i'd buy a harley benton randy rhoads model V (very cheap one, but looks killer and best out there), then it could sound good if i'd put maybe (lets say) EMG's or some real great active pickups on it (whatever is good for death metal)?
Right and now it sounds like a Les Paul. It sounds more like a vintage Tele if you just leave it be. I built one from scratch with 3 lipstick type neck PUs and a flat 50s type bridge PU. I put on an Bigsby model 5 as well. Best sounding guitar I ever had!!!! Look at the pic on my channel!
I bought the same 2 pickups and want to put them in my Tele. I read the instructions but it's my first try at doing this so I don't wanna ruin the pickups. Did you or do you have a diagram of how you wired them in? If you do, could you email the diagram to me or website? Thanks.
this video would have been better if you had done a comparison between the old pickups and the new pickups. not everyone has superb ears that can detect the nuance of every tone.
it seems to me you're just here to show off your new pickups.
on electric guitars its all about pick ups, my advice by a cheap ass tele change the pick ups both of them etc and you can have a gibson les paul type sound in the palm of your hands simple!
this is th eguitar i have and wanna mod. ive so far filed the frets down and need a new jack plate anyone know of a good one that wont just shatter like the stock one does?
@fcatrin is that the stock bridge??? didnt really get a good look but if not what is it and where can I get on....typical tele bridges (3 saddle and 6) are a compete pain in the ass.
@fcatrin $300 for a squier tele affinity?!? i paid $100, and i know in guitar center they are $150. do you have a suggestion on dimarzio's that match original american tele's? i want to change both pickups for my sq. tele as well
@JudoChoppethUrFace Hi man. This was a cool vid with those Dimarzios, of which I am a huge fan myself. I have a John 5 Tele with a Dimarzio Super Distortion Humbucker in the Bridge and a Dimarzio Area T Single Coil in the Neck. I can go from clean country and classical to heavy metal with a flick of a switch! If you want a cheap good guitar, why not go with the John 5 Squier? Its almost as good as the Tele version...
@tigetbunny82 i've already got my squier tele, and i've noticed the output is really low compared to my other electric, and i figured it would be cheaper to swap out the pickups than buy a whole new guitar altogether
@JudoChoppethUrFace Ah I see. But still, if you want a meaty pickup try a Super Distortion or Chopper. I can only imagine that lower grade Squier pickups have to be really weak
I put a set of hot rails in my tele and it is a beast. I am thinking of changing the neck pick up though. Hot rails caused to much bass in the neck and lead solo tones suffer a little.
Uhhh I hate those teles, we have one at school there horrible, I have a Squier Telecaster Standard Series and I love it its the best guitar I have ever played.
I love teles for all sorts of styles, not the least of which is blues. I have found that with some mods to include two humbuckers, they Respond, in my opinion, better than Les pauls. squires recently have become far more elaborate and well made in their construction.
@Nicolivls I would go ahead and buy a Mexican though;maybe and American; as the prices circa 1997 for a Mexican tele was $299. now they are...far too expensive. I love the guitar Man it sounds good to me and FAR better recorded than most other tracks in Youtube which sound recorded via $10 wal-mart mic.
Props to you for making it smooth, simple and elegant.
the pickups cost more than the guitar lol i had affinity construction was bad but it was a nice sounding guitar, nut fell off pots were rubbish paint chipped easily
but not for a tele i hae the same guitar and im a seasoned guitarist and perferd the stock pickups if your gunna rplace em just up grade to better tele fender pick ups
That's an amazing souning tele u got there, great playing by the way! I've got a seymour duncan in one of my tele's and it's the best THING on the planet.
If I could get away from that dull tone from the EMGs and have something closer to something more organic and natural and bright, I'd be happy I'm pretty sure.
But I don't know about the pickups... and the brands... I think the DiMarzios are natural sounding? Compared to EMGs 81/85? ...
The EMGs sound digital..
Alot of people say EMGs sound sterile and I think they're right
Again, sorry to bother you with this... thank you for answering me very much
Sorry for posting again... my last post, I promise... but basically, is there an alternative to the Fast Track and Twang King for humbucker/not single coil pickups? Sorry if I sound stupid and out of place for asking all that...!
I really think that it will be hard to turn your guitar into another one just changing the pickups.
The freatboard wood has a lot to do with tone also. I've tried several Telecaster's in the store and basswood fretboards gave me another tone, it was when I tried this maple fretboard when I found the sound that I as looking for, even with the noisy pickups that came with this guitar.
Well tonight I just tried to play "twang", or played with the lower strings of the guitar... with a "twangy" preset, just like that and... surprise, it sounded kinda cool with an overdrive pedal... for once! It has to do with the way you play too
I'm kinda discovering stuff as I speak, so... but I was pleasantly surprised...!
But I still think the EMGs are not bright enough :P
But I'll put my 81 back in the bridge today and do some more testing tonight... :P
If you are sick of your sound, and tired of playing metal, I recommend you to sell your guitar and buy another like a Tele or Stratocaster. You can buy another guitar for metal later if you want to play that style again.
If you look at my videos you will see that I have an Ibanez just for that.
Mmhm... well, that's possible. I'll try to explore more then... I like it for Rock though, but I'm sure there are better suited pickups for the twangy kind of sound... but I guess it's not really possible to get the best of both worlds... lol ;P
Well, I'll post some things... and try to get some feedback, maybe it's just me after all...
There are some coil splitting pickups that let you change from humbucker to single coil by just pulling a knob. EMG's make these type of pickups. I think those would get you a good twangy sound.
Is every humbucker able to be coil tapped? Or used as a single coil? Like my EMG 81 or 85 for example (if I buy the coil tap knob thingy of course cause I don't have it on my guitar)?
Does a 5 way pickup switch do what a coil tap knob? Or are they different??? :S
Thank you!
Also, I don't think I'll buy EMGs again... I'll try to go passive... what do you think?
it must have four conductor wires to split. most humbuckers do these days. but old gibson humbuckers and reproductions of old school humbuckers are only two conductor wire.
"Does a 5 way pickup switch do what a coil tap knob? Or are they different??? :S"
Oh wait... the 5 way switcher switch between pickups and the coil tap switch switch the humbucker into single coil... so you use the two to get different combinations... but can you toggle between the two single coil from an humbucker pickup with the coil tap knob thingy?
would you recommend fast track 2 on a fender jaguar? i want to changed my pick up bridge with fast track 2..and i want to get that full and ounchy tone..what do you think? hope for your some inputs..thanks
I bought the Fast Track for my Strat, but the output was to exesive for me, so, I installed the DM HS-3, this pickup is good for Death Metal, and you dont have to use a lot of distortion.
i like that combination of pickups, ive been wanting to change my Ibanez's pick ups with some Di Miarzio pick ups but i havent found a store that has the ones i want.
Very nice sound! On the other hand, i think that with the DiMarzio pick-ups on the telecaster you lose something... The sound is pretty nice, power and sustained... but it's not the telecaster sound... You risk to lose that tipical awesome full tone that makes the tele a special guitar...
I have the same guitar but different color the honey blonde with black pickguard. I want to change my pickups thanks for the great suggestion. I also want to change the bridge to the strings go through the body, I'm just not a fan of the 6 springs, maybe a 3 spring but I prefer through the body.
wow man now its METALLL my friend has this guitar he hasnt chanced anything and it sounds great and cuttin for metal and all that imagine what this would be like :)
im gettin the affinity strat im gna slap a george lynch lil screamer mini humbucker in the bridge or sumin likle that, i dont think theres anything wrong with the neck pickup tbh on the affinitys
Squier's aren't that bad man... I have a Squier by Fender Affinty Strat. Sunburst. It is a really good if not the best Fender copy, i think. May I'm wrong!
is it worth the money to get this? im just looking for a third electric guitar, but this time, i want it specialized in Blues, Jazz n Rock n Roll... should i get the squier telecaster for $100-600 or Fender Telecaster for $1000-6000?
Let your ears be the judge. Some people can notice the difference and others not. I can't, except for some special editions like Richie Kotzen's Tele.
I'm puttin a DP100 Super Distortion as my bridge pickup and a PAF 36 anniversary as my neck pickup on my strat. And my middle pickup will most likely be some kind of single coil.

When you replace the pick-ups, replace the pots/jackplug/selector/tuners as well, otherwise they will drop you in trouble.

i have a epiphone sg with really noisy pickups? I play classic rock and instrumental, lik Steve Vai, what would be some good pickups to look into?

GFS pickups. they are cheap and sound good, and if you buy something you don't like- well you didn't waste much money. look them up on google.

Hello! First, I really like the first chords you played! The distortion and high gain and brightness makes it really shine!
I remember seeing this video more than a year ago and it made me want to buy a guitar!
I went with an Ibanez with EMG pickups. My first and only guitar
They don't sound bright or beautiful like your pickups...
Do you think you could help me? I have two humbucker pickups, unlike you...
Do you know DiMarzio humbuckers that sound close to that? The EMGs sound very dark...
onionionionionion 2 years ago
thanks! a lot of people love that song.
Well your Ibanez with EMG is a completely different machine. It's very hard if not impossible to make it sound like this Telecaster.
(That's why I have both an Ibanez and this Telecaster)

Argh :P
Yeah, I understand... but, well, I have an RTG6EXFX with basswood body. Not mahogany one :P
And I don't like the EMGs... sorry to bother you with this...! But do you think you could give me some advice perhaps?
I'm sick of playing metal... so I'd like to change my pickups... to have a more natural sound, brighter sound :P
I don't have enough money for another guitar...
Do you know bright DiMarzio humbuckers? Maybe with a 5-way switcher? That I could play single coil maybe?
onionionionionion 2 years ago
And I like that sound you have alot...!
If I could get away from that dull tone from the EMGs and have something closer to something more organic and natural and bright, I'd be happy I'm pretty sure.
But I don't know about the pickups... and the brands... I think the DiMarzios are natural sounding? Compared to EMGs 81/85? ...
The EMGs sound digital..
Alot of people say EMGs sound sterile and I think they're right
Again, sorry to bother you with this... thank you for answering me very much
onionionionionion 2 years ago
Sorry for posting again... my last post, I promise... but basically, is there an alternative to the Fast Track and Twang King for humbucker/not single coil pickups? Sorry if I sound stupid and out of place for asking all that...!
onionionionionion 2 years ago
I really think that it will be hard to turn your guitar into another one just changing the pickups.
The freatboard wood has a lot to do with tone also. I've tried several Telecaster's in the store and basswood fretboards gave me another tone, it was when I tried this maple fretboard when I found the sound that I as looking for, even with the noisy pickups that came with this guitar.
fcatrin 2 years ago
Mine is in Rosewood, is it good?
Well tonight I just tried to play "twang", or played with the lower strings of the guitar... with a "twangy" preset, just like that and... surprise, it sounded kinda cool with an overdrive pedal... for once! It has to do with the way you play too
I'm kinda discovering stuff as I speak, so... but I was pleasantly surprised...!
But I still think the EMGs are not bright enough :P
But I'll put my 81 back in the bridge today and do some more testing tonight... :P
onionionionionion 2 years ago
If you are sick of your sound, and tired of playing metal, I recommend you to sell your guitar and buy another like a Tele or Stratocaster. You can buy another guitar for metal later if you want to play that style again.
If you look at my videos you will see that I have an Ibanez just for that.
fcatrin 2 years ago
Well, I love the sound, it's clean but also dark, lacking the spark of the "twangy" pickups? :P
I read that active pickups are different, and EMGs are not good for blues :(
Your Ibanez sound darker than mine though, but I think there are some reverb on it, it sounds beautiful though and really fit what you are playing :)
I gotta stop putting pedals after pedals of distortion though, that's what I learned, but I still think the EMGs are not good for that style
Thank you again!!!! Have fun!
onionionionionion 2 years ago
EMG's are good for that style. Just use the neck pickup. You also have to have your amp setup right.
gokuangus 2 years ago
Mmhm... well, that's possible. I'll try to explore more then... I like it for Rock though, but I'm sure there are better suited pickups for the twangy kind of sound... but I guess it's not really possible to get the best of both worlds... lol ;P
Well, I'll post some things... and try to get some feedback, maybe it's just me after all...
onionionionionion 2 years ago
There are some coil splitting pickups that let you change from humbucker to single coil by just pulling a knob. EMG's make these type of pickups. I think those would get you a good twangy sound.
gokuangus 2 years ago
Yes, I've read that!
And about that.. can you answer this?
Is every humbucker able to be coil tapped? Or used as a single coil? Like my EMG 81 or 85 for example (if I buy the coil tap knob thingy of course cause I don't have it on my guitar)?
Does a 5 way pickup switch do what a coil tap knob? Or are they different??? :S
Thank you!
Also, I don't think I'll buy EMGs again... I'll try to go passive... what do you think?
onionionionionion 2 years ago
it must have four conductor wires to split. most humbuckers do these days. but old gibson humbuckers and reproductions of old school humbuckers are only two conductor wire.

"Does a 5 way pickup switch do what a coil tap knob? Or are they different??? :S"
Oh wait... the 5 way switcher switch between pickups and the coil tap switch switch the humbucker into single coil... so you use the two to get different combinations... but can you toggle between the two single coil from an humbucker pickup with the coil tap knob thingy?
onionionionionion 2 years ago
they rock for blues man! (assuming you are talking about the emg single coil tc or t set pickups of couse)

I bought the Fast Track for my Strat, but the output was to exesive for me, so, I installed the DM HS-3, this pickup is good for Death Metal, and you dont have to use a lot of distortion.

Hey bro, i got a tele similar to yours
I was at the guitar store ALL day today, trying to find this pickup you are using. Only in white
Just like yours, it looks SOOOO great, but i can only find it in black. (The dimarzio bridge pickup)
So where did u get yours?
Reply is appreciated

i like that combination of pickups, ive been wanting to change my Ibanez's pick ups with some Di Miarzio pick ups but i havent found a store that has the ones i want.
ec93leo 3 years ago
Very nice sound! On the other hand, i think that with the DiMarzio pick-ups on the telecaster you lose something... The sound is pretty nice, power and sustained... but it's not the telecaster sound... You risk to lose that tipical awesome full tone that makes the tele a special guitar...

I have the same guitar but different color the honey blonde with black pickguard. I want to change my pickups thanks for the great suggestion. I also want to change the bridge to the strings go through the body, I'm just not a fan of the 6 springs, maybe a 3 spring but I prefer through the body.

is it worth the money to get this? im just looking for a third electric guitar, but this time, i want it specialized in Blues, Jazz n Rock n Roll... should i get the squier telecaster for $100-600 or Fender Telecaster for $1000-6000?

Let your ears be the judge. Some people can notice the difference and others not. I can't, except for some special editions like Richie Kotzen's Tele.
