#humbucker #guitar
It's time for some guitar myth-busting again! :) Do humbucker covers change the sound of the pickup? Seth Lover, the maker of the original PAF humbucker said no, they don't. Well... I'm not so sure about that.
Enjoy Guitar Tweakz!

** Why the "Anzeige" (=Ad) message? **
According to german laws everyone has to mark their videos as advertisements as soon as there's a single "subject relevant" product, tag or link in it. Even if you didn't get paid for making that video. Sounds confusing and it really doesn't help the viewer to see which is a paid review and which isn't. But it's the law so whatever...
--- The line of truth: Is this actually a paid review? No it isn't. (I update this line for every video).
