So, I was wanting to try out the new James Tyler pick-ups, but had no time until this weekend. Actually I also felt a bit too lazy to unstring and restring and solder and unsolder. 
Long story short, my friendly neighborhood monster guitar builder Brian Nelson ( http://www.gtr-nelson.com )was also curious about the pick-ups. So we decided to make an afternoon in geetarland out of it. Fellow forumite Dave Simpson, also joined in for the fun. And yes I love that guys playing.
So, instead a whole bunch of flowery trms like buttery, woody, snarky, spanky, I figured I'd grab the lap top and record them and let your ears be the judge.
First up, my hollow alder Tyler Burning Water (no boost) with the stock pick-ups it came with (which where protos) the singles are 6K, the bucker is 9k.
First cleaning, neck, in between, middle, in between, bridge, then dirty bridge, neck, then neck volume rolled off.
The the same kinda riffage with a Hot Retro in the bridge an two 2Hot single in neck and middle.
Then we went to a Studebaker in the bridge and JST2500 in the neck and middle.
Next, Studebaker Supercharged and California Special single coils...
Dave burning on this set-up...
And what I ended up with in the end...
Studebaker Supercharged and 2Hot Singles...
Dave going to town with it...
Then for shit and giggles we grabbed a 62 Strat and threw that in the mix (it was suppossed to be a fun afternoon)...
Dave doin' the Strat...
Plus since we were at a guitar builder we grabbed a couple of his FMs...
hardtail...
Wilkie...
Dave burning...
And Seattle guys if ya wanna hear Dave come on out to the regular 6K4 Lounge gig next Thursday, Dave will be mopping the floor with me, as usual.
Bottomline...looking for replacement pick-ups, check out the Tyler stuff.
