Wide Range Humbucker VS PAF Humbucker

Picked up a set of mojotone and they are sweeeeet

Very informative on the difference of these pickups. Dylan knowledge keeps things real without the bs!

Can you put individual pole pieces instead of a bar magnet in a regular humbucker pickup?

I dont think the reissue sound sucks at all. My squire classic vibe starcaster rocks. Believe you me.

Has anyone stuffed WRHBs in a Les Paul?

I watched a bunch of these videos last week and meant to comment - I really love the way you explain and discuss and generally chat about the different pickups! Reminds me of the good journalism about music gear we got in the 80s from knowledgeable writers before the flood of opinions and cork sniffing that came with the bulletin board and forums era once the net arrived! Great videos mate!

Novak.

As a pickup builder myself, Lollar is unrivaled

Hi....have you reviewed the Super HiLotrons as supplied in some circa 2017 Korean 5622. How do they compare to Filtertron?

I’d like to hear what a wide range humbucker sounds like… maybe combine with a regular humbucker in the back…🤔

Very interesting 😊

Fender pickups SUCK

Love you teaching about pickups 👍

curious about your take on fender's new cunife wrhb pickups...

Can you make a video about Guild full sized humbuckers and mini-humbuckers?

What about free range pickups?

What if you had one bobbin from a Wide Range or even Single Coil from a Strat or something and one bobbin from a normal humbucker?

Pretty cool, I have a MIM 72 reissue. It’s great to play but the sound is not good. It sounds dark if that makes sense? Do you still make replacements?

The entire reason to get a Fender Deluxe is for those wide range pickups.

Yes they look cool - and boy do they ever!

But if they are just PAF's in there...? My Les Paul is gonna do that much, much better!

No....its gotta be cunife.

I guess ill go Lollar.

Although i think Fender is doing something fantastic noe, in 2023, so... best check that out

talk about a gas bag. this guy and his patterns do nothing for anyone. make up your own patterns and forget this guy.. this is the type of shit musicians do not need to hear. an over idiotic explanation of nothing... on know a piano thing.... the seven feelings...what... babble, babble babble

Also, Seth lover still had a patent on the PAF and couldn't infringe on his own patent, so he was forced to make something different.

This was really informative, thank you!

Hi Dylan. I just finished doing a a complete refit of an old SG. Refin, hardware, everything. I only had a 250 k pot for the single humbucker just to hear the Seymour Duncan. That pot is crap compared to the 500. What a difference in overall balls. What Ohms value number grooves well with the JB treble bridge humbucker? I have it wired hot with a resistance of 17.00. Thanks Dylan. You Rock!

i am super into guitar tech and everyday i learn more but man, calling a unit "henrys" seems like you make shit up on the fly 🤣

Very good Dylan.

So, is there a way to have a push-pull to the Fender Wide Range without opening the pickup? Or have to open it and solder a 4 + ground wire to the starts and ends of each coil?

Hmm i might get a Ride Wange pup

But they were able to machine alnico magnets for there single coils....

It came down to who owned the patent at the time. Gibson owned the patent to the original "PAF" humbucker. So Seth lover switched up the design. Avoiding patent infringement was part of the reason he used CuNiFe magnets.

i like your vidios ,straight to the point no bull

Although it is an “old” video, I like this clear explanation about the difference in the first place, and the fact there is hardly a difference since the reissue’s. Thnx!

Thank you for the informative details.I subscribed to your channel. I have a Mexican 1972 Tele Deluxe Reissue. I couldn't afford the expensive vintage accurate CuNiFe pickups so I bought Creamery wide range pups, The guitar went from sounding inarticulate, dull, and lifeless to nice chimey, brilliant, and inspiring guitar compared to the stock Fender pups. I'm playing through a kit Vintage accurate Fender 5F6A (59 Bassman) amplifier. How did the Creamery change/improve their pup design as compared to the stock Fender to achieve this much better sound?

Can you coil tap a legit filtertron?

The idea of the wide range has merit, just I have yet to see one of those compare to the sound of the original PAF design.

Very interesting technical information.

Buying comments and subscribers is bad man ;)

Any suggestions for a great quaky/honky tele bridge pu to mate with a Lollar wide range hum? I dropped in a Kinman Broadcaster but this particular bridge is way too beefy and don't blend well with my Lollar

dude fender fuckin sucks!! lying to my face 😢

Great pickups

@dylantalktone would you choose Lollar Wide Rang over Curtis Novak Wide Range?

Does anyone know if fender Cunife Wide Range pickups will fit into a standard PAF size route and pickguard?

My '86 re-issue thinline made in japan has the bar magnet also.

so nowadays widerange humbuckers and normal humbuckers are the same thing?

want to know what you make of uptown strat!

Can i win that guitar

I measured my original gibson P90 (alnico mags) to 4.4H. I experimented removing some winds to achieve 2.xH, according to some inductor formula, it worked, but I don't remember the exact amount, thoug it was not that much.

I never heard so much technical detail about pick ups. Most of it went over my head but I gotta start somewhere

Cool video

Sir this is a Wendy’s….
