$37 Hot Rails Pickups Loaded Pickguard From Musiclily // Upgrading A Glarry ST Guitar 

I bought this same kit and mine buzz so loud that they are unusable. Any ideas?

@@maninthebox01 I would double check the connections, especially the grounds. I would also check the output jack wires. Other than that, something bad in the assembly. I would ask for an exchange.

Thank you very much. It is appreciated.

Do you still carry this pickguard?

​@@bluwngon their Amazon page they do

Thank you POORTER. I Appreciate you watching.

Thank you so much for choosing us for your guitar parts need.

@@Musiclily you're welcome! I am curious to know if this set is available with the black pearl pickguard instead of the black pickguard?

That's great. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

The truth is stranger than fiction.

I appreciate that. Hope you are doing good.

Glad you to hear you also had a good experience with them.

Is this the Musiclilly branded pickguard or the Wilkinson one?

@@bluwng There is nothing on the underside of the pickguard. It was ordered from Musiclily via Amazon.

Do they Quack?! Was looking at them. Looking for that Blusey Quack. Thanks!

Thank you very much

Thanks man. I am loving the look myself.

Awesome. I still have them. They are still as good as the day I bought them. Thanks for watching.

Thanks man. I hope you enjoys yours as much as I enjoy this set.

Thanks Rick.

Thanks man. I am really happy with them.

@@benpowersguitar You can get great gear at really affordable prices these days

@@ccjmusic Yeah this is definitely the age of good inexpensive gear. Wish it was this way when I was younger.

@@benpowersguitar But then you wouldn't have had room for all the gear.

@@ccjmusic Ha ha ha ha

Thank you, I appreciate it. This was a direct drop in, no modifications needed. I was using the Fender Mustang II amp, clean setting, EQ'd at 6, reverb from the amp, overdrive from the Behringer TO808.

Thank you, I appreciate it Ray.

Oh wow. I have used their trems and tuners, but never tried their pickups. I will look in to them. Thanks for watching.

I have no idea how they will work. There are inexpensive bass options out there. You are going to have to wire the output jack and bridge ground transferring the electronics like you're talking about. I would be interested in knowing how it comes out if you opt to try these.

I have never seen any in those colors, without getting expensive. Ordering prebuilt doesn't usually offer many options.

What is M series? These are Musiclilly pickups and Musiclilly also sells Wilkinson M Series rail pickups. Just want to figure out which ones you bought.

@@bluwng Wilkinson M-series Rail. Sorry I wasn't clear.

@@zombiet.5232 when you say M-series, which one you refer to- Musiclily Hot rail pickups or Wilkinson M-series hot rail pickups. I am curious because I am planning to buy this musiclily hot rail pickups.

@@dingadettachhangteofficial5091 Wilkinson M-series Hot rail.

Mine are quiet. The cavities of my guitar are shielded with shielding paint.

Yeah, unless something goes wrong down the line, these are great. Thanks for watching.

​@@benpowersguitar 2 years on, you still rockin with this guitar/these pickups? Any issues?

@@dannybrickwell Sitting about 3 feet from me. It's not a main player, but it still gets played. Still sounds great and no issues of any kind.

@@benpowersguitar Wow thanks for the fast response! I'm just looking to replace the pups in my new Harley Benton, which is so off kilter than the last pickup pole baaarely sits under the high E in the neck position, and it's also rockin staggered poles under a 12" radius. Reasonably reliable decent sounding blades should do the trick! Thanks mate!

​@@benpowersguitarsaw these on Amazon thinking about getting one of these and getting my luthuer to install them on my old cheap stratcaster as i have never attempted soldiering rather an expert do it

That newish Squier affinity in Lake Placid Blue with the black guard is just begging for a white set of these. I can buy a complete set for 1/3 of what one DiMarzio BC-2 pickup costs.

If you want a strat kind of sound, I would stay with single coils. Next closest pickup would be noiseless single coils. If you are ok with humbuckers, you really only need 2. Now you can use rails like in the video, and have 3, but it's overkill for many players.

@@benpowersguitar Thanks a lot. My main point is Bridge and middle tone like only strat has. I think it's not a good idea to migrate to hot rails, so.....

Thank you. The trem/bridge came from ebay, seller Stratosphere. The jack came from Guitar Fetish. I haven't tried their tuners. Though I have tried Dragon Fire and Guitar Fetish and they are as described.

@@benpowersguitar Thanks! Much appreciated...I picked up the Glarry strat model and as a newbie....just starting to dip the toes in the world of guitars and learning to do the work myself ;) Thanks again...and keep on rock'in

@@christiansoldier7588 I bought a glarry to put some dragonfire actives in. It’s already routed to fit humbuckers. I plan on making a video about it.

I set mine at Seymour Duncan standard height, 3/32 of an inch (2.381mm). They were pretty much there already, I believe the neck pickup had to be adjusted a little. For the video it was how it came out of the box.

Thanks. It is the reason I love it.

They are very quiet compared to true single coils. Pretty standard inexpensive humbucker.

@@benpowersguitar thank you sir. So they sound like between or more like humbuckers or closer to singke coils ?

@@brCharlieNagy They are humbuckers. They use rails on a magnet instead of pole pieces.

I just installed a Musiclily Hot Rails pickguard on my Squier Affinity Strat. I can vouch for the noiseless sound. And I thought I did a shitty job with the soldering!!!

You won't get true single coil sound out of any humbucking or noiseless pickup. These do have a decent quack in position 2 and 4. You can get some pretty high output single coils if you want more power in the bridge, but not a humbucker. Noiseless give you as close as you can get to true single coil, and can be had in various outputs. GFS (GuitarFetish.com) have multiple options. I believe Seymour Duncan still makes a high output single coil as well. Hope this helps.

Yes, there are 3 points you will have to solder. The ground to the trem claw and the hot and ground to the output jack.

I have not put them to a meter. They are pretty hot. These are great for the money. I doubt they will hold up to Duncans.

I believe so. It's been a while. They aren't microphonic if that's your concern.

Thank you very much. It is called Transparent Cherry Burst.

They are decently hot. Not like hard core overwound, but hotter than a standard PAF. I have a few videos up of me playing them over backing tracks that might give you a better idea, you can find them easy in the Jams playlist and just look for the guitar in the pic. Hope that helps.

They are not.

thank you sir for replying so the pickups which store you bought it musiclily? or fleor?

@@boyt.5542 Musiclily, off Amazon. I think there might be a link in the description.

There are honestly a lot better beginner soldering videos, then what I can do with my self taught methods. However, I will consider showing it in the future. My next couple are already done, so I can't show it on them, but I have 2 more after that.

The assembly is from Musiclily. They are on Amazon on have their own site as well.

@@benpowersguitar Thanks a lot for supporting Musiclily and making this video.

Sorry for my bad english..😅 i mean..example if me want the best sound is the guitar or the Amp its self..some people say if you use cheap guitar on good amp that make the sound good to..its that right or not??

@@saffwannzShort Answer: Get a decent amp and a decent guitar. You don't need to go super cheap or expensive. My Marshall MG15FX & Jackson Dinky JS32 totaled $480 before tax. Long Answer: Cheaper guitars tend to have pickups that get muddy sounding at higher gain & distortion, and may sound a little thin or bright on clean channels. Cheaper amps can rattle, or may sound thin or a little muddy and onboard effects may be absent or sound just okay. I would say get a decent 15-25w practice amp. Marshall, Fender, Boss and Blackstar are my favorites in the $140-250 price range. Then get the best guitar you can, that you like for the money left in your budget. Guitars can be upgraded, amps not so much. I would look in the $200-300 range guitars. Squier Affinity, Ibanez RG421 & similar models, Jackson Dinky JS series & even Schecter have a decent $300 or less guitar. I have a $180 Marshall MG15FX that I use all the time, and love my Jackson & Squier guitars that are $300 or less.

@@benpowersguitar thanks for the info...

Bought mine off Amazon, normal purchase. No idea what you're referring to.

@@benpowersguitar check out their website and and go through the checkout process to see if "I have no idea what I'm referring to"?

Musiclily are scamming people out of their money. Plain and simple - or else apparently there are no staff there for the past 10 days to answer daily emails requests about a paid for order

@@dfybyn I didn't say you didn't. I said I didn't. You didn't specify in your first post where you purchased it. As I got mine from Amazon, I had no point of reference. Thank you for clarifying.

@@dfybyn I have never ordered directly from them, so I can't speak that site. Ordering from Amazon has been a smooth experience with better than expected product. I do appreciate the heads up about direct ordering. Since you used PayPal, you should be able to pull the money back after 14 days.

Thanks for checking out the video, sorry you didn't think they were good for the money.

@@benpowersguitar I was speaking only about the sound, not the value. Why would you presumably upgrade cheap Chinese ceramic pickups with cheap Chinese ceramic pickups? I don't understand this product. Great demo though. It lets us hear how they sound. I would encourage you to do a demo with the real Seymour Duncan Hot Rails. The difference will prove my point. In this case, you get what you pay for.

@@frankpotter5936 Yeah, this guitar is used for trying out inexpensive hardware and electronics. Only the neck, neck plate & body are stock. Everything is inexpensive upgrades, to see if they are worth it, if that's all you can afford. I have Duncan, DiMarzio & Bill Lawrence in my main guitars. I would like to do some SD Rails, but that would be for a main guitar. No way they are going in this test guitar. 😎🎸

@@benpowersguitar Got it. Really great demo.
