WaylonFan76 March 18th, 2011, 01:22 PM Had the full Glendale enchilada installed in my AVRI52 the other day ( CRS plate, old school brass saddles, CRS ferrules, neck plate ) and I was playing at practice last night : instant Redd tone ! I realized a big part of his sound, besides his fingers obviously, and Owen's pups, is the hardware. My bridge pup is a SD Antiquity. I can only imagine how close it would be if I had a Duff Plankster...
Just wanted to share my 'haHa !" moment with my fellow Tele friends.
Rob DiStefano March 19th, 2011, 08:43 AM wow. good to know that all it takes are the right parts to cop an artist's tone. thanx!

I meant my post as positive celebration of a good Tele. Please, no sarcasm. :grin:

dude, when i read that you were able to get that redd (voelkert?) tone with just a parts change, what reaction would you have expected??? hey, i'm happy for you, good job. tell the world!!! :cool:
Colt W. Knight March 19th, 2011, 05:27 PM Ive built a few guitars with glendale bridge/saddles and OC Duff planksters, and I didn't get Redds tone. :(
WaylonFan76 March 19th, 2011, 05:29 PM I'm just sayin' that since I upgraded my AVRI 52 along with my SD Antiquity bridge pup, I'm getting some of that Redd mojo ( boo, forsaken term :twisted: ) I'm lovin' it. :grin:

BritishBluesBoy March 19th, 2011, 05:38 PM Jeez fellas... Talk about raining on the guy's parade!
Let him enjoy his new stuff will ya?
max_twang March 19th, 2011, 05:40 PM No sarcasm here -- thanks for the info. I can't see taking offense where none was obviously not intended, especially in light of your sig!
WaylonFan76 March 19th, 2011, 05:43 PM Thanks, BBB. Cynics never cease to amaze me. It's ok, all I gotta do is plug in my AVRI into my Twin Reverb and all that negativity is looooong gone... :grin:
WaylonFan76 March 19th, 2011, 05:45 PM None taken, Max. :razz: Just trying to spread the word about how good Dale's stuff is. When you find a product that is mind-blowing good, you just want stand up n testify !!! :mrgreen:

If you are digging the tone from that SD Antiquity, OC Duffs Plankster will blow you away! I highly recommed it. Also, his Richard Young set is phenominal.

GAS... when will it end ??? :lol: Richard Young ? Please, Do tell... :grin:

Duff built me a set for a replacement tele I built for RY of the Ky Headhunters. He used the exact materials used in Richards original 52. Best set of tele pickups I have ever heard.

No -- I meant that some folks seemed offended by your original post (not that you were offended.) I thought your post was exactly why this forum exists, and I appreciated the review of your new hardware. I'm glad you're enjoying it!
BTW, how do you think the Antiquity compares to the SD Broadcaster -- a little brighter, I'd imagine...
outlawyer March 19th, 2011, 06:59 PM He's (Duff) about to release a Redd Volkaert Signature set. That should nail it.

wow. that is SO awesome to hear. couple those new oc redd pups with a glendale bridge and old redd will hafta find himself a new signature tone. :mrgreen:

Gotcha. :grin:
I have no experience with the SD Broadcaster, I have read numerous praises for it over here. I have no doubt it is a great pickup. I am in love with my Antiquity, though. Definitely a keeper.

He already has, for a few years now. If you contact Duff, he wil send you a set right out.
kddean66 March 19th, 2011, 07:07 PM I've bragged on Owen's pups a few times on this forum. He wired up some vintage ones for me that had similar specs to the Lollar vintage 52 sets that sound so rich and sweet. I really have become a fan of buying cheaper guitar and putting high quality pups into them. Much more bang for th buck IMO.
WaylonFan76 March 19th, 2011, 07:07 PM He's (Duff) about to release a Redd Volkaert Signature set. That should nail it.
I am under the impression that Redd uses Owen's Plankster and Big Boy pups exclusively as well as the intone Twang saddle set, CRS ferrules and CRS plate from Glendale. I'm loving my hardware. Took my AVRI52 from good to amazing. Well worth the $200,IMHO. Anybody who wants to rain on that parade is just outta luck... :lol::lol::lol:
WaylonFan76 March 19th, 2011, 07:08 PM WF76, you rule!
You do too, bud. :grin: Good deal on that Gib...
outlawyer March 19th, 2011, 07:13 PM Yeah, I think the set is regular Planksters but labeled with Redd's signature.
Congratulations Redd!
Grammy Award Winning recording artist Redd Volkaert is a big fan of O.C. Duff Pickups and uses them in his main Tele's. A signature set of his favorite O.C. Duff Pickups will be coming soon.

Yeah, Owen isn't real good at updating his site. haha
I think originally, Owen modified his plankster a little for Redds needs, but has since changed it over to Redds specs. Ive installed two sets of Redds specs planksters in my guitars, and they are great pickups

Wow. There's your sarcasm right there.
outlawyer March 19th, 2011, 07:24 PM Off topic a bit, but of all the instructional CD's I've seen or bought by guitar stars, Redd's Tele Twang is hands-down the most informative and useful.
Suicideking March 19th, 2011, 07:31 PM Waylonfan I dont think you are givin yourself enough credit here as a couple of people have said they tried it and didnt get that sound. Clearly the missing piece to this puzzle is YOU. Your hands are what is making that awesome tone along with the new bridge great job and thanks for postin...

Maybe. :oops:
It's especially apparent on the low notes, on the E and A strings. Just clean, spanky and rich Tele tone a la Redd. I'm a happy man.
Nick JD March 19th, 2011, 10:37 PM Clearly the missing piece to this puzzle is YOU.
Imagine how talented those people who can get awesome tone from a ten buck bridge plate and twelve buck saddles are then! :grin:
Just ribbing ya man. Glad to hear your so very happy with your non-affiliated purchase.

You know, I think this is the big truth of it all :cool:
Always great to hear someone getting his tone, Congrats WF76!
