#71 Gets a pickup change

[fractal]

Hi all,

Korina and Spruce semi-hollow body loves these TV Jones Magna'trons!

Before:

After:

 

I realized that this guitar needed more clarity in the top end.  There was a sale...  The rest is a bunch of solder wick and a bit of elbow grease.

Love it even more now.

Nice!  How does it sound?

Would love to hear a description of the tonal differences before and after.

And can you describe its acoustic voice?

Come on Jackwagon, you know it sounds "Woody with a little Jangle". 🤣

As opposed to a woody with a little dangle...?

Here's a quick comparison into a Princeton clone from old (neck position - tone at 5):

to new (neck position - tone at 5):

These are as bright as any single coil (with no hum, of course) and really are clear.

I played with some gain (something I never do, really in the real world) and it sounded like AC/DC.  PHEW!

Both sound great. I do prefer the second clip. Nice choice. 👍🏻

[Jakeboy]

Your goal was clarity on top and you got it. The TVs sound great. What brand are the gold foils?

Oh, beautiful Yellow Lab too. Incredibly great dogs.

[bubs_42]

Neither are bad choices. @Jakeboy those are Gravelins.

Yeah, I just went back through the sub-forum to look that fact up. Both do sound good, with the TVs a touch crispier as he wanted. The Muse tip on that guitar looks killer over the black headstock too. That is a visually stunning guitar.
