I messed up the audio so you can't hear me speak very much once the guitar gets going but the guitar audio turned out pretty good...it was my first try using my recording interface for the audio and dumping it into iMovie....

Here's what the guitar sounded like before:

Gotta love P90s - I have them in one of mine. You must be a big guy - that LP looks like a toy in your hands.

Bryan makes some BAD-A** pups. An extremely talented winder. I've got two of his buckers in my lap steel.....and I'm soon to take delivery of an 8 stringer with Tele-style pups that he wound.

Phil from White Bridge Music raves about his BGs. His prices are very fair, considering they're hand made by him. Sure would be nice to have a set of those...

Mark: A couple of questions. What did they replace?
How are the new pickups for noise in positions 1 and 2. I notice you are quite a distance from the amp in the video, was that to reduce feedback?

They replaces a Duncan of some sort that was in the guitar when I got it in the bridge and a Rose pickups Alnico V in the neck, which just replaced a Gibson T Top.

The amp was across the room because it was loud and I was trying to have separate mics on it and my voice (which didn't work out as you can see :))

The pickups themselves are pretty quiet...no real noise from being in front of the computer monitor and no more than normal for a single coil near an amp. I haven't tried them with a high gain pedal yet, though.

I did a whole "Build Thread" where I go through the process of installing everything if you guys are interested: http://markweinguitarlessons.com/forums/showthread.php?20603-Installing-BG-Pure-90-s-in-my-Gibson-The-Paul.
