It can only be the pickup or location changing the sonic output. Yes, that's exactly what I said in my initial reply to you: On 10/08/2023 at 23:21, Dazed said: I wonder if that’s an actual remake of an original Telecaster wide range humbucker or the later one that’s more muddy, like you get on the re issue Tele’s they’ve released over the years. On 11/08/2023 at 00:09, Baloney Balderdash said: Likely the ones they use for the new Paranormal Rascal, which doesn't sound muddy at all, but actually pretty nicely well defined and articulate. As in the ones they use new for the new Paranormal Rascal Bass is not the same pickup, since it doesn't sound muddy at all, but actually pretty nicely well defined and articulate.

Woodinblack Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Isn't it just one of the pickups of the gretsch g220 that he actually made his name with but is to cheap to make much money from? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazed Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I don’t honestly know, but repros by The Creamery, Stonewall and Curtis Novak certainly aren’t cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These pickups won't be made on some assembly line, probably hand made by one person, one at a time, and time is money... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazed Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I guess they are all hand made, but even compared to all their other handmade pickups they’re expensive £200+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazycloud Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 I like the colour, especially if it had a matching headstock, but literally nothing else about it, even for Squier prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) May have been covered but is it USA or Mexico made? EDIT - MIM - Not that they are in any way bad instruments, but wow, that price with a soft bag....

They (instrument manufacturers in general, not just Fender) seem to have a knack of extracting just the right amount of michael such that significant numbers of people don't vote with their wallets. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fender prices are going up soon once more so add $100 at least to the MIM basses...probably not the MK Jaguar, but I'm glad so many people are finding some Squiers are better alternatives. Let's not forget Reverend, Sire, Bacchus, etc. Edited August 15, 2023 by jd56hawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyJohnson Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I saw a video on this earlier...Peach Guitars. Either the guy playing it is a giant or it's a tiny instrument. It looks absolutely diddly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Horse Murphy Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) Had a go on one of these today at A-Strings in Treforest. Loved it Apparently lead-time for new stock (i.e. what's not currently in circulation in the shops) is something ridiculous like August 2024.
