Carlton Broadcaster City Blues - Brierley Broadcaster Pickups

Показать описание


Ray Carlton, Mick Brierley and I go back quite a long way. Longtime admirers of each others work, we decided to collaborate on a Broadcaster-based guitar with some modern touches. This guitar is it. Basically a Broadcaster (thanks, Mick!) with bigger, frets, 500k pots, and a really light chunk of Louisiana swamp ash cut out by Ray Carlton. I love it and I'll be happy to relic it myself.

For this vid, I ran Fractal's latest FW 7.02 and dialled up a '63 Vibro-King. City sounds are courtesy of Logic Pro X. All mastering with Waves L3-16.

You should use Fractool to port it to AX8 or whatever. Rock on.

Iv'e got a 1996 American Vintage Reissue '52 Telecaster. It sounded like shit. The bridge pickup wasn't working. The volume pot was scratchy and some one had incorrectly wired a 4 position switch. I took it to my tech and he recommended a set of Brierley Broadcaster/Nocaster pickups, replaced the volume pot, rewired the switch and replaced the saddles with Gotoh Intune Brass saddles. Wowie!!!! What a great axe I've got now. Those pickups are fantastic.

The guitar which can handle it all - whenever I look up a classic solo from the 60's/70's it invariably has a 'Tele' in there somewhere! Nice looking (and sounding) guitar Burgs!
