Something Odd On Randy's Guitar
I saw this picture and am curious about what is on Randy's bridge pickup. It looks almost like there is a zebra humbucker in the slot, however Im almost certain that that is not the case. Just interested to know what it is...

The bobbins for the neck pickup are toward the top of the neck
And the bobbins for the bridge are towards the bridge
It's part of the pickup
You are seeing the screws. In that pick

Re: Something Odd On Randy's Guitar
Randy's pickups were covered so normally you cant see the bobbins at all.

It's a covered pickup the dark part is a shadow from his finger

Re: Something Odd On Randy's Guitar
I ment the screw looking things I did not mean bobbins sorry

But there are 6 looking screw things
That is what you are seeing in the pic

Re: Something Odd On Randy's Guitar
Did you think the bridge pick up was a double dimarzio or something similar. I can see that now but it is a shadow. I could understand Randy doing something like this as he was a stickler for sound. Not like EVH, but if he had ever done something like this and played one gig and then realised his mistake and changed it back to the original pup.

Re: Something Odd On Randy's Guitar
This thread made wonder about something else. Covered pickups, gold worse than chrome or nickle suck output and tone a little bit. Some say more than a little. His LP was his only stage guitar with covered pickups. As far as looks go I like covered pickups on certain guitars. Maybe he liked the look and thats why he never changed them out on the LP.
Re: Something Odd On Randy's Guitar
You can remove the pickup covers on pretty much all pickups as far as i know. There just covers, that is it..They look, the same underneath as uncovered pickups. He could have covered the pickups on his other guitars if chose to. The only negative is that is lowers the output slightly and they tend to feedback a bit more than uncovered pups.
Re: Something Odd On Randy's Guitar
Yes, pickup covers can be removed. I dont think they are in this pic, however the white on the bridge pickup in this picture is lighter than the guitar body color, which is why Im not sure that it is the natural color and the top half is just a shadow.

Re: Something Odd On Randy's Guitar
Yes obviously in that photo is just a shadow. But I was just saying his other stage guitars were uncovered and he never bothered to uncover or change out the LP pickups.
Re: Something Odd On Randy's Guitar
so true...me and a mate both have bareknuckle nailbomb pickups in alder body strat style guitars, his is covered and mine is uncovered and mine has a lot more gain than his...it was a real surprise when we a/b'd themShockwave wrote:The only negative is that is lowers the output slightly and they tend to feedback a bit more than uncovered pups.
