Suhr Fletcher Landau pickups

[rallyivan1234]

Super Champ "XD"

[Luccaguitar]

Fantastic sound

[WoWintosh]

What kind of bridge is that? It kinda looks like a wilkinson or something

[GreyJazz90]

Great tone!

[MarkzOfficial]

An amazing sound! Great feeling! Nice.

[mthwkln]

Sounds incredible!

[Vladotubular]

Beautiful glassy clean sound and fat drive sound :-) Beautiful playing also

[kleydj13]

Fantastic playing and tone!

[JOHNNYG99X]

Matt Schofield uses these pickups too.. awesome tone

[vincentgargano]

great vid ...great sound

[yourpaljc]

Very nice! Must get some of these! Respect from England! (I worked for Fender for 11 strange years!) 

[fernandosantucci]

The Suhr Fletcher Landau pickups with Backplate Silent Single Coil (BPSSC) System is "The Best" Strato tone of the world and "The Best" solution to eliminate the 60Hz cycles hum. Not is cheaper, but "The Best" is expensive and the years of experience of John Suhr deserve recognition. My smile touches my ears up today.

[ahlf36]

Sounds great the pu's i just ordret them...i'm really looking forward to try them, by the way youre play is awsome!!!

[fiestared1963]

Lovely tone. lovely playing. Regards,

Derek.

[amplitudedude77]

Superb!

[theshyguitarist]

Hello. Very nice playing! Loved it.

Would you mind telling me what pots...and capacitors you are using?

Also, how you decided to wire up everything for the tone controls. Thanks again for the fantastic video.

[shotzfire]

Are these the fl 60 style the fl classic

[Pete130662]

Lovely tone from these pickups...were they just straight forward replacements into your Strat, or did you have to change anything else?...(i.e the pots etc..) Thanks and really enjoyed your playing too!...very nice!. Pete

[mentoneman]

straight replacement

[Pete130662]

Thanks very much...Cheers, Peter

[gjohnson870]

Which Pickup are you using the Standard or the Classics?

[mentoneman]

standards

[alp292]

lol sorry, ignore that last comment! i hadnt listened to the whole vid before posting it :P

Great playing man :)

[alp292]

hey man, was just wondering how these pickups sounded if you kicked in some distortion. They seem to clean out reallllyyyyy nicely.

Thanks,

[olalator]

Are you playing band? i would love to listen to it is so.

[mentoneman]

not noise free unless you add the silent backplate suhr makes.

[n2motocross]

Beautiful note selection for a demo. These are wonderful pickups!

[Aluok1]

Are your FLs standard or classic?

[MetalNineteen1984]

sounds awesome man, good stuff i got a tone press on the way and i am looking forward to play it

[matthew11490]

you always play great.

[olalator]

yees. guitar should sound like....GUITAR))) its a guitar absolutly. Great!) not only pickups of course)))))

[pepachet]

Phenomenal playing and tone!

[tonyparkerfly]

Suhr FL, Fralins Blues Special or Kinman AVN62? I want your opinion. Thanks, friend.

[mentoneman]

kinman = noiseless and maybe the roundest top end of the bunch

fralins = closest to the old strat pickup sound

surh = more "forward" clang and the best "classic strat clean-to-marshall compatable distortion" range of the bunch.

[snowbrdr88]

I bought these pickups a month ago because of this video. Best decision I've ever made with my tone!

[Macmax7077]

time to sell the Landy and the Kot and all the expensive pedals i have.

[Macmax7077]

Mentoneman

Please let me know exactly what are you using at 40 seconds on the first solo

I cry everynight when i listen to this, PPPPPLLLLLEEEAAASSSSEEEEEEEEEE­EE tell me....

[mentoneman]

i just kicked on the tonebone classic--

the tone press is on for the whole time in front of the chain both for the clean and dirty tones.

the settings on the tonebone are seen at 50 secs. but the pedal was off in the shot yet on in the audio track which may have caused confusion...sorry!

[snowbrdr88]

Man, I love your style. I wish I could play as well as you.

[TheSAJ11]

very nice indeed

[Macmax7077]

Hi:

I am on the verge of acquiring some Suhr Pups. Right now i am using Tom Anderson Pups.

Have you ever tried Suhr v60Lp pups by Suhr, if so how would you compare them to these?

Thanks

[ericmelvin10]

I love your playing 5 stars

[hporp]

v nice playing dude. I'd like to hear how these pups respond on a rosewood board neck, as we know, the woods used on electrics DO affect the overall tone. Needless to say I'm a rosewood strat guy checking out possible replacement pups.

[guitarholy]

this Fletcher is standard or classic model?

[mentoneman]

standards

[homersimps1]

Beautiful man, just beautiful tone and playing.

Those Suhr's are sick. I've got to get some. I agree with your Dimarzio comment. I have the Chopper in my strat and it's complete garbage.

[mentoneman]

i have a set of VVs that are in a box somewhere...i am not a dimarzio fan in any way shape or form. they always have a harsh raked on concrete overkill to them.

these FLs are very nice in a sparkling natural way.

i always form a picture in my mind of clean strat single coil

tone being like tapping a glass honey jar with a fat drumstick.

these pickups have a thinner *glass* than say a fralin, but a clearer ping than the kinmans which sound darker/dampened and more ceramic like by comparison.

[MrActionFingers]

Based on your comment it sounds like for clean you like the Fralins first, Suhr FL second and Kinmans last. Is that correct? What about on distorted/crunch tones?

[mentoneman]

i'd say that's pretty accurate,

and distorted the fralins would come in last, suhr second and kinmans #1 because they are silent and a bit rounder sounding...although if you did the silent backplate the suhrs may be on top if you like more definition because they do break up nicely.

[jonizefox]

I only played those 3 pups with strat, and I totally agree about what you describe for this 3 pups, and for FL the best "classic strat clean-to-marshall compatable distortion"

[davidalvarez5150]

beatiful tone...

[kerrytheman]

Hey, great stuff. What kind of speaker cab is that....and speaker type? I have the same one Fender (rivera era) cabinet.

smokin'

[mentoneman]

hughes and ketner, the ones matthias jabs did ads for in the late 80s. the jack on the back has a main input and one parallel output and one series output so you could combine 2 8 ohm cabs for either 16 or 4 ohm operation.

they originally came with V30s but i loaded this one with a EV 12L and I have a matching one with a GH30 in it.

[kerrytheman]

What kind of speaker cabinet is that......it looks like a Fender (rivera era). Do you know what king of speaker in it too. I have the same one! Smokin'!

[roccotanto]

sounding GOOD! :-)

[alikakuikaika]

ya... thats my old man!!!!

haha, dad nice playin, and I like the diversity from landau's clean magic to the rough and edgy yet unforgiving play of whatever you were using. NIICCCEEE

i cant help but notice my old house looks a bit different...! new paint n stuff????

[zachman5150]

You Rock my brother... Love it!

[lazychump]

those harmonics are done so tastefully.

[Briax05]

Are those the Suhr FL classics or standards? How do you compare these to the kinmans?

[mentoneman]

standards-

when on display in front of a fender amp as clean clean as possible, i favor the FLs, but the kinmans are great for a warmer smoother thing and are inherently silent.

[malamutelocomotive]

Beautiful clean sounds and great playing!

I'm less seduced by your distortion sound.

Very nice gear ;-)

[mentoneman]

thanks man-

yeah that was kinda a throwaway dirty tone at the end...really washed out.

it's always the same thing in ampworld...great clean tone, not as great dirty tones.

[jordanb450]

I am thoroughly impressed once again! You rock dude!

[dcboogie]

That is a nice setup, great channel by the way , the mentone channel.the barber and the tonebone are also on my list.I like your whole series. You have great tone and play very good.

Did you ever had a quad preamp?I wonder what you think about the quad?

greetings, dcboogie

[mentoneman]

thanks dc-

it was an adventure setting this rig up for the first time and playing these new pickups--kinda like a tone documentary!

i played the quad back in the day and love the mark series amps so it was a cool preamp to me.

[n2motocross]

All of your videos give me so much to work toward. Beautiful array of tones!

I still watch the video you posted awhile back of where you are playing the surf green Strat. I think it is titled, " sparkly clean strat tones...I think.

Take care and God Bless.

[n2motocross]

Oh.. the video is called. " clean fender strat tone 1207." that one is so very beautiful. Eric Johnson would love that one no doubt.

[mentoneman]

thanks brothaman!

i like the more forward/direct recorded tone of this clean clip but the 07 tone was cool for the added tc gforce magic and swirl
