  Too bad Lover and Butt didn&apos;t work together. The name would be the &apos;Butt-Lover pickup&apos;.<br><br> Works ons many levels.

  I want to commend Rhett not only on his playing, but his writing and storytelling. &nbsp;Major talent developing here on several fronts.

  I wired a Les Paul, &nbsp;Studio with a 50s vintage wiring schematic, with 500k taper pots , &nbsp;and it gave the guitar an incredible open, clear tone, and I believe that wiring is a huge factor in vintage guitar lust, and is never discussed as a factor

  We have to admit how awesome is to have &quot;Seth Lover&quot; as a name.

  They should have joined forces and introduced them to the market as &quot;Butt Lover pickups&quot; BLPs.

  Back in those days when electric guitars were relatively new, design was largely based on ease of production or marketing, and subtle differences in tone were accidental, yet they nonetheless set a standard for the ideal sound. This is not the same story for violins, pianos, or almost any other instrument that was developed over a longer period of time.

  This kind of thing is a guitar nerd’s dream. I’ve been playing about 6 months and feel like a sponge learning all these details about why a guitar sounds like it does. So cool.

  Early Billy Gibbons is the best humbucker tone ever.<br>Having said that, chasing PAF tone can be an expensive rabbit hole.
