[hendrixexperiencedig]

I'm gonna buy these pickups but I wonder which one of my strats I should install them on ? rosewood or maple, any oppinions?

[xbeastingx]

i love that teddy bair holding the microphone :P

[mayerfan09]

looks like the mayer strat

[mysterons23]

@mayerfan09 think you mean the SRV strat Mayer used to use

[JMLizardKing1971]

do these have a good low end because i want to put them on a 50's classic vibe strat to get rid of a little of the really thin high end but still keep great treble

[bluesguitarfan100]

Do you have and album like this? I would love to buy it?

[whiteboywithaguitar]

[1273seant]

hi--mcan you tell me the diiffernce between ordinart texas specials and cuton shop ones-- what pedals are you using -thanks sean

[hungerstriker27]

hey greg, people, help me please. I need a decent strat so I´m in chase of someone like this... (SImilar in look, I mean) or a deluxe daphne blue.... which one you will buy in my place?

[anchorman07]

@hungerstriker27 look at the fender road worn series, i have the same thing as this guy. For about $900 you get a great guitar with out breaking the bank, I love mine granted it is not a true american made relic or even a vintage guitar, but for what you pay it is fantastic. I've had mine for about 10 months now and it is getting even better and better as i play it. The neck is the biggest thing for me, I could care less about how it looks but I the neck is great!

[hungerstriker27]

@anchorman07

thanx so much man. I´m still searching for the one.

[anchorman07]

@hungerstriker27 I'm still looking for the one as well.

[hungerstriker27]

@anchorman07

well, finally it was a strat deluxe in daphne blue with maple fretboard. Like the one clapton uses in this days. Not that edition but, well.... same specs... I love it. Later on I will go for this one.

[avenger4546]

Hey man Nice Vids and killer tone but u should put some more Overdrive in a video like this i mean with this kind of Backing Tracks well thats my opinion take it or not Cya !

[libsstink100]

bet he could do srv for sure,,,guys good...knows his stuff

[Jjjj187]

so i just bought a fender american strat. do you recomend puttin these babys in or somethin else?

[Danklin24]

@Jjjj187 It depends on the sound you want. These are very powerful high output pups with a lot of midrange. I personally dont think they have the sparkly tone that you get from a lot ot strats which is why i'm going to change mine in my Roadhouse strat at some point. It all depends on the tone you're looking for. These are great for SRV style blues.

[MrSmiley1964]

@Jjjj187 Give the pickups some time before you replace them. You might learn to like them

[Geepsterr]

@Jjjj187 Keep what's in there as they are a bit more versatile. With a little eq you can "mid them up". EQ;in highs into middy pu's like Texas Specials is less effective & adds noise . Texas Specials are good but limited on the high end .

[unamilosavljevic]

Nice sound & smart playing :)

[SmiffyDelta]

Dont suppose you selling that strat????

[saadmemon90]

is this 7.25 radius if yes did you keep the action high

[masibubu]

deine pickups sind auf allen strats recht weit im korpus, oder irre ich mich?

[jingwah]

@phxwrestler123 every single coil will giv eyou a buzz unless its noiseless

[yonicamot]

GregsGuitars i like your videos.

do you have any testing the new fender stratocaster blacktop?

If yes, can you give me the link? thank you!

[BELOROYAN]

Is better than Classic player or japan reissue 62 ? belo

[NateAsh060708]

This sounds nice. But I must say...I was torn between this and the Squier Classic Vibe. I figured why pay 8-900 dollars for a Mexican made Strat? You can get an American made Highway 1 for that....so I went with the Classic Vibe, less than half the price and just as good as the other two.

[Martinijos]

How does these pickups sound with full distortion on?

[GregsGuitars]

@Martinijos mean & evil

[Martinijos]

@GregsGuitars Nice. I have a Dimarzio Mo'Joe humbucker in the bridge position on my Strat and was thinking about putting Texas Special's in the mid and neck position, probably sounds like a crazy combination. Do you know how the output level on the Texas Special's are?

[NOLA2828]

@GregsGuitars Are Custom Shop Texas Specials now made in Mexico ?

[ShredderGuitar2]

awesome, im looking to buy a stratocaster, then order some texas special pickups.

[Uz2Brockstar]

@ShredderGuitar2 Already have the road worn, great guitar, now I'm looking to buy some talent like his! The thing about players like this is they generally make anything sound great. Great playing, makes me want to cut my fingers off!

[riko879]

fantastic sound !!!!!!! ohh fuck !! amazing :>

[CrAzYwHiTeBoY72]

I'm wondering what the best height is to set my Strat's pickups at (Texas Specials) for maximum sustain.

[MrBluesilverred]

Very nice

[haaaUNDaemmm]

Toller Tone ! Welches Setting hast Du denn am Clyde Deluxe eingestellt ? Wie ist die Road Worn denn verarbeitet ?

[GregsGuitars]

@haaaUNDaemmm sorry, weiß ich nciht mehr... das board ist auch schon wieder im Tourbus. Road worn ist prima

[Fabioapf]

made in mexico?

[GregsGuitars]

@Fabioapf yes

[09kitty23]

@GregsGuitars i heard that the hardwares are sane as what they use in usa made fenders

[Spinmusicuk]

You sir are in a world of great feel. Did you make the backing tracks for this yourself? I take it you perform live?

[GregsGuitars]

@Spinmusicuk thanks - I collect the tracks in the internet

[Abewyly1]

I have the Carbon copy as well. it's kinda hard to dail in. seems you caint set the Regen pas 12 or it will go crazy on you. Does yours do this aswell?

[GregsGuitars]

@Abewyly1

I don't know, this mxr works great for me

[bluesderek]

@Abewyly1: Any analog pedal starts to self oscillate, when you crank up the Regen (Feedback / Repeats) too much - which can be cool when you want to get really psychedelic. In any other situation, or even with a digital delay, why would you want to to set the Regen past 12? You'll hardly need more than a few repeats or it will muddy up your sound completely

[Abewyly1]

@bluesderek I got ya! and i dont usually have the Regen past 12 i just noticed that when it was it went crazy.. i Play thru a 1965 Super Reverb and the first time i turned the Regen past 12 i thought my speakers were gonna blow! im not a big delay guy. just a TS9, Compressor, Wah type player so im not use to this whole Analog delay thing! Thanks for the Advice tho!

[86shay86]

What do you think of the Ibanez TS808? It fits your style perfectly, dont you think?

[Glockenator]

You're one great player. I suck at improv

[MussoGorski]

Very cool guitar, Greg! Like your sound very much!

[tropeide]

Great...as always.. amazing tone!

[cliverkay]

Like the neat compact board.. Mine has the Fuel Tank, Polytune, Zendrive, Okko Diablo, Lee Jackson Mr Springy and a Carbon Copy !! Quite similar ...

[sportsportsport]

VERY NICE! who put this 1 thumb down? IDIOT!

[haraldtheman]

sounds a bit unspired today...
