Green Sofa Chronicles demo the McNelly Duckling & A5 Signature Plus set!

Green Sofa Chronicles demo the McNelly Duckling & A5 Signature Plus set!

Jari reached out to me in November of 2019 expressing his interest in ordering a set of McNelly Pickups for his Suhr Classic T guitar. 
After some discussion, Jari decided to give the Duckling neck position pickup along with a A5 Signature Plus pairing (which happens to be a personal favourite set for a Tele). Well, I heard from Jari again yesterday who let me know about his new YouTube demo channel along with an amazing A/B comparison video he has kindly made featuring his new McNelly Pickups! Both the Suhr and McNelly sets sound great here, so it was great to hear them side by side which is always useful for pickup buyers and Tele fans alike. 
Thanks very much to Jari for making this video, and I wish him all the best with his new channel! I've linked below if you like the look of this video and wish to subscribe to his work.

Josh Smith, a Retrograde Cambridge & a set of McNelly Stagger Swagger V2s!

Josh Smith, a Retrograde Cambridge & a set of McNelly Stagger Swagger V2s!

Josh Smith is a player on most guitarists radars these days. Whether you are a blues/jazz fan or not, the respect for his ability is undeniable, and rightly so! I just came across this video by a wonderful looking US store, Music Emporium, of Josh playing a stunning Retrograde Cambridge guitar which has a set of Dogear mount McNelly Pickups Stagger Swagger V2s fitted.
Although that particular mount style is custom order (but can happily be made again no problem!) this is a wonderful demonstration of how well this pickup responds to the guitar's they're mounted in.
Enjoy!

Mark Johnston getting to know his Jennings Voyager

Mark Johnston getting to know his Jennings Voyager

I've been following Mark's instagram account for a little while as a constant source of ambient and pedal based inspiration, and recently he became the owner of a beautiful Jennings Voyager so have been following even closer to see what he creates with it. Mark's Voyager is outfitted with a set of McNelly Stagger Swagger V2s so it's been great to hear these pickups in an ambient setting. Here's a video from his YouTube channel, the first with his Jennings and displays both his tasteful music and the gear in question. Hope you enjoy
