Skip the first 7:00 to avoid the inane chatter until he starts talking about the mod, skip to 10:00 to hear it in action. Sounds convincing... I'd probably lose the screws though.

I agree because you have then rendered you "main awesome" guitar into one that is now completely different...it is just easier to buy a bloody tele and then still have your "awesome" guitar and a teleHades wrote:That is as Mongol as f#*k.

I'm having trouble believing that guy when he says he doesn't know how much a bag of pot costs

I didn't watch enough to see that but I agree....how many times did he say "I don't know if this has been done before, but if it has" etc etcSome Bozo wrote:I'm having trouble believing that guy when he says he doesn't know how much a bag of pot costs

There is a second video that he attempts to get a Strat sound.. Sounds good. Id never do it, not sure if it would damage the pickup, the info about doing the coil splitting and having a 250k pot sounds interesting..

Cool little mod. Don't think he deserves any of this negative vibe you guys are throwing at him though... Unless it actually damages the pickups.. then, that's a different story..

Doubt it would cause any damage. Not very practical in my opinion but interesting none the less!

I can mod a guitar easily to get a tele sound. First take one dentists drill....

Re: Removing humbucker screws.. is this mongtarded?
Great vid, so natural and unscripted the way I like it. Fav part when he had to release some lunch that got tangled up in his words. Will I try this, damn right I will as I love Teles, Hell I might even leave the screws out. I guess you could do this to only one of the pickups if you wanted a single/Humbucker combo....but I am not sure if that has been done before either . Anyway on to part 2 for the strat mod, which I must say I am less keen on as I have less love for them.
