An interesting idea, but not convinced, as they don’t look very adjustable for height, for example, my Tele pickups are higher on the treble side, compensating somewhat for the higher output of the bigger strings. You could cut this into the mount, but that defeats the purpose of being able to test things quickly, the moment one variable is fixed, you have an instant constraint. This experiment is a trade-off, I get that. He’s not an experienced guitar player and wants to fiddle with pickups. Fine, enjoy, EVH was all about getting the sound to match what’s in his head anyway, whatever it took.
- frenchie4111 5y agoThey have the same height adjustment options that most guitar pickups do, the pickups are held on to the mount with two screws and you can screw in/out to adjust the height accordingly. It works in reverse of the normal system since the screws are backwards, but it works
- vr46 5y agoThere’s zero mention of this in article, unless I missed something? He expressly stated that he wanted to switch pickups without removing screws, so unless pickups have to be pre-set and stuck to a mount that is stuck to the guitar body, I don’t see it? My Tele neck pickup is actually not attached to the body, for example, it is attached to the pick guard!
