Tman5293 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Has anyone seen this yet? http://www.seymourduncan.com/newproducts/seymour-duncan-35.php Looks pretty cool to me. If they weren't making only 35 of them, I might consider getting one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dem00n Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Nope. One is always better, could be the Gibby at the time or the Fender. Though i dont own a Fender so im talking out of my ***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinner 13 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 lots of cool supplied extras as well so you can tweak you tone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvar Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 No, I never have trouble choosing- Gibson every time. I've never considered owning a Fender guitar- and I really see no reason to change that. I do love old Fender amps though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tman5293 Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 lots of cool supplied extras as well so you can tweak you tone... Yup. I like that they ship it with another set of pickups. You could use one of each lol. I like the Liberator volume pot too. Lets you change pickups without a soldering iron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigKahune Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 . Very tasty indeed. As far as no fuss pup swaps - Gibson's LP Push Tone solution is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I don't know anything about solderless pots causing "tone loss" but it's so easy to solder in a new pickup I don't know why you wouldn't just do it the right way. As for that guitar, that thing is insanely ugly to me. I don't even like the concept of it. Sorry for the negativity but eww. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl00dsm0k3 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 i dont have the money for a fender or a gibson but i would choose gibson all the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searcy Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 You know that causes a loss of tone? The solderless pots dont have a as strong connection as solder does. Not true at all. I've been making pickups with solderless conections for 8 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dem00n Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Not true at all. I've been making pickups with solderless conections for 8 years. Weird, guess will wait a few years before some tackles it with results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnastynebr Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I have a MIK Telecaster with a set neck, , double cut away, tune-o-matic bridge, and P-90s. Not my favorite guitar, but clearly intended to mimic Les Paul Jr. tones. (pictured in the middle) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This_Dying_Soul Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 personally, I usually know what I'm looking for before I go out to buy. Gibson vs Fender is quite a difference in tone, so I would buy based on what sound i'm after. I was thinking of getting another Gibson next time I buy a guitar but already have 2 Gibsons so my next guitar will likely be a Fender (because I don't have one and there are tones you just can't get with a Gibson). The only way I can see getting another Gibson the next time around is if I get a VERY good price on a Les Paul or SG Standard. Since there are so many brands out there offering their version of the strat, I would probably consider a high end copy, like a Carvin or something; but the surefire way of getting the Fender and Gibson tones is to go with either a Fender of Gibby depending on the tone you're after.

pippy Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 It's a bit of a shame, considering they took and exact trace from the body of a '53 and they traced the p/g from a '50 that they were (presumably) not allowed to use the correct shaped peghead. It's interesting that they mention SD'd friendship with Jeff Beck....it was my (perhaps erroneous) belief that JB really, really wanted his old Esquire back and SD wasn't in a sharing mood! I don't really care for the looks of the thing but I suppose with the history aspect and the very small 35-off production run it's actually quite good value. I imagine it sounds rather wonderful, too. Just sayin... no limited edition bullshit either And those humbuckers were designed by Seth Lover, no less! P.

stein Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Weird, guess will wait a few years before some tackles it with results. Actually, it has been addressed by high end cable and connecter makers for years now. Many use solderless connections for sound quality reasons, with crimping or clamping (called a "cold weld") being superior for signal transmission than introducing solder into the signal path. And when you consider the whole circuit, you already have a switch and the sweepers in the pots. These are no better than a lot of connecters. From reading the description of the electronics of the guitar and the new pups from Seymour, he is obviously aware of these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnastynebr Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 SWEET Thanks, but its actually not a very versatile instrument. The P-94s are too high output for good cleans from the bridge IMHO. Too brittle and clear. A new set of pups might make this a better player, but right now, its just around for a nice, sharp crunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
