Thats Awesome! How did you manage to fit the EMG in there without it being in a "chain" of other EMG's? I just bought an "S" pickup and wanted to mount it in my tele. I'm sure that I can figure out mounting it, but how did you get the pickup to work? Awesome job again!
Hi, The EMG SA pickup came as a single unit with a pre-amp and battery connector. It came with easy to follow instructions. Mine is done the same way as Keith Urbans. The 3 way switch and the neck pickup have been removed and the battery connector and battery fits nicely in the cavity where the 3 way switch would normally be. I did mine a few years ago and can't remember exactly how I did it, but if you're struggling, there are websites that can help you. Thanks.
I've been thinking about doing that as well with the pickups, is that the emg-sa you put in there? and if so, could you (if you ever get the chance) take a picture of the wiring, i want to get it right if i do it. :D
man, how did you mount a strat pickup in your tele bridge? i have the exact same guitar. would love to know, so if you could pass on the knowledge, that would be awesome!
It was pretty straight forward to be honest. I glued a piece of plastic with a resin glue on the bottom of the pickup which is the same shape as the underside of the original "Tele" pickup, and drilled the 3 screw holes in the correct places. To get a good fit in the guitar, I did have to chisel out the corners of the routed section in the body that takes the pickup. That's only a 2 minute job as you only have to remove a very small amount of the wood.
Cheers mate. To be honest, the system I was using was a just a small "Fender super champ xd" practice amp, set to overdrive at about 60%. I think what makes the sound that much better is that I use the same EMG SA Pickup that Keith uses in his telecaster. It's originally made for the stratocaster, but his technician made it fit his tele. So I thought if he can do it, so can I!
looks like you're playing a nashville tele? keith has a 40th anniversary tele which he indeed did put an emg sa pickup in and he removed the middle and neck pickups, but since then he has bought another 40th anniversary tele and says that it plays much better as is, then how he modified it.
That wasn't bad. One thing I noticed was at around 2:09 and a little after that, some of those bends were a bit out of tune... Maybe that was intended or not intended, I'm not sure. That is really the only negative thing I noticed in this. Good job otherwise!
Hi there, I'm not actually using a pedal, the sound is purely through my practice amp. It's a Fender Super champ xd with built in effects. It's set on "Distortion". The other thing is that I use the same pickup in my guitar that Keith does which has a much better sound to a standard one.
Hi, thanks for your comments, it's much appreciated. To be honest, I don't actually know what those to licks are from, but when I first heard the whole solo, I new I wantd to learn it.
