    Re: "Pickup Break-in" Any truth here??

    After reading a few of the other articles on his site I've come to the conclusion that the whole site is his irrational justifications of why he uses the gear he does, and why it is the "best" gear and you the reader are an idiot for using anything else. He may have some differing opinions than Grove, but his blog reads like the subtitles to a Grove video.

    For more laughs read his Maple vs Mohagany electric guitar necks blog, and the "Things I learned by not listening to heavy metal anymore"

      Well, even if the guy is an idiot, he is getting clicks and traffic to his site for sure!

          I don't always go looking for the random internet spoutings of lunatics, but when I do . . . I go http://www.timecube.com/ . Stay crazy internet.

            The magnet can be exposed to other magnetic fields -- like leaning the guitar against the amp and thus putting the pickup magnets near the speaker magnet.

                Let's not forget that resistors and capacitors "break in" as they drift in value over time through usage and age.

                  His "Things I've learned by not listening to heavy metal anymore..." article is hilarious, because it's true. I guess it hits a little too close to home for some. Then again, there are people who think "Masterbuilt" Strats are worth 5 times the price of a Mexican Strat, when it's the same guitar.

                      Except for cork sniffing value, they're exactly the same.

                        No, they are not exactly the same. Not even close. There is no cork to be sniffed. Are they similar? Yes. Exactly the same? No way. Is this DreX?
