LOVE the idea of the base plate that can just be added on. 👍

You need a demo video to go with this. Great stuff!

I have noticed that cheaper foreign made two conductor pickups (Duncan Designed, etc.) seem to use a brass baseplate, while higher quality US made pickups seem to use steel baseplates.

"Quality" here is used loosely. If you like the sound of a cheap pickup, it isn't bad at all.

My experience is mainly with Seymour Duncan. EMG seems to use some black plastic/epoxy/resin with their old active hardwired pickups and their newer quick connect system. Their underrated 4 conductor plus ground passive HZ line has exposed circuit boards and the quick connect.

Also thank you to Phillip for giving me the idea to store my loose pickups in jars instead of in bags where the pickups stick together. Original boxes can get bulky when you have dozens of pickups.

Considering a Gretsch 6118 Anniversary Jr. - would you do a review and sound sample, especially acoustic/unplugged sound? Thank you 🙏

The most notable pickup discussion is the Peter Green (“Greenie”) guitar which is now owned by Kirk Hammett of Metallica & is a 59’ Les Paul Standard and the curious question is.. was it fixed””Reverse polarity/ upside down/ in sequence parallel?!?” Or what..??
a couple people on YouTube think they’re close in solving the age Old question. But I’m skeptical. Anyway Cheers

Do raw steel pickup covers really affect the tone less, while still removing all noise ?

How do they make ceramic magnets for high output passive pickups?

How about the BRIDGE pickup on a Telecaster? Were the single coil pickups mounted to a large metal structure for this same reason?

Here's a question that I have been annoying the you-know-what out of people for a long time with, Mr McKnight. Ever since before the motion picture of Bohemian Rhapsody went to the cinema, I have had a hankering for a Brian May Red Special-type guitar, but I was convinced after I had one built for me with Burns pickups that they don't have the hot output that I prefer in other guitars that have HH configuration. It could be that I am mistaken, but I've longed to have a guitar with the same scale & fret count, headstock, semi-hollow cavities, vibrato arm and switching capabilities as his, but I would have liked P90s. Would it make more sense for me to simply get a Red Special duplicate and trust that the Burns Trisonics will deliver what I am hoping for from P90s?

Since copper is not magnetic, why would it effect the magnetic field ? You might have been told that copper plate does something, and yes there;s steel inside but not much.

How about silver, you didn’t mention that metal, Seymour Duncan sells a $900 set, 🥺and I read that the Yamaha top end Revstar has pickups with Silver Baseplate

Not a pickup question but a nut question. How important is the width of the nut string slot? (Not the depth) if the slot cut is correct but wider than the string (ever so slightly)

Are you claiming that plastic or circuit board material has an effect on magnetic field? Really, steel is the only material on your list that is going to have effect on the shape of the magnetic field of a pickup. Brass could do it in other applications using LOTS OF AC CURRENT creating eddy currents in the brass making it an electromagnet, but not really in a guitar pickup. Plastics, brass, or stainless would be used BECAUSE they have no or very litt,e effect in the magnetic field.

If I fill my pockets with mashed potatoes and make clicking sounds , will my Tele bridge pickup be happy? Hey, good video...good man! Thanks.
