as per topic (and accepting soad_vs_incubus' challenge in his sale thread ), please share your TESLArized guitar pics and your experiences using these dark-horse korean-made pickups here! let me break the ice...


project #1 - Tesla AH-1 active set (ashportal)
- good active pickups (blackout clone? who knows), good for cleans too
- if ur guitar have crappy wood (sort of plywood) but want that hi-end sound, this active set was the solution
- sadly, i've sold this guitar because of some personal reasons


project #2 - Tesla Plasma-2 gold set (ashportal too)
- if metal is ur territory and u have a fixed bridge guitar, this plasma-2 set was recommended, high roaring output yet smooth on cleans
- coz the sound was too metal, i've replaced this plasma-2 set with dimarzio DP103/DP100 (GASsed ) couple of months ago, for that classic rock les paul sound


project #3 - Tesla Plasma-1/VR-1/VR-Extreme (VR-Extreme from ashportal, others from SV Guitars S'pore)
- my current TESLArized guitar, i called it tesla all-rounder combo
- plasma-1 sounds 'sandy' high on treble, good for those clean acoustic simulations
- vr-1 sounds more like classic strat
- vr-extreme as the name suggest, meant for extreme distortion

up the TESLA! \m/

Future Tesla user here. Having Tesla Extreme and RS2 in mind.

VR-Extreme set- bought from ashportal

Installed in my Ibanez RGR321ex. changed the tone dramaticly.
Harmonics jump out of the guitar instantly

Demo

contribute as a tesla trooper!



guitar : epiphone special 2
pickups : plasma X1 bridge and neck
review : (not very good at it *amateur guitarist here* but i'll try anyway)
- i play mainly on distortion. the tone is sharp, not muddy. pinch harmonics come out a lot easier compared to stock pickups. sounds really GARANG, with each string tone coming out. no strings get drowned out by the other.)
-then i played on clean. EVEN better. the tones are really defined.

err...dunno what else to say. cuz me no good reviewer. but i really love these pickups. hehe.

^ cantik flame art!

ok, how's the differences compare with other Korean pups..


I dun see (hear) any except for the packaging

I never yet try any other Korean pups .. but this one sound good for me .. if there is another Korean brand pups out there i'm eager to test it hehe .. maybe it's the same factory with Tesla but different brand name, we might never know

bring in some lah jo...

Tesla huh?
Heh heh. I've bought 5 sets before.

- Plasma RS1
- VR 3
- VR Extreme
- VR 1
- AH 1

U know what? Sgt memuaskan hati.

Amacam mlm ni? sape ada gitar equipped with Tesla pickups meh la bawak mlm ni .. aku nye gitar tesla tgh rosak .. klu dpt repair hari ni aku lehla bawak, klu x lain kali je .. amp aku leh supply hehe

aku pon nak join gak. tpi agak jauh ah dri location aku :/

how was the tt? sorry i missed it

yup, kalau ada pic ramai2 lagi bagus~

ape la korg. aku menanti sorg2 penuh semangat dlm kedai tu. haish.

I have installed Tesla VR-nitro on my crappy SX Les Paul (which I sold of later because wanted to upgrade). I'd definitely say that the tone of my guitar improved alot. Here are the pictures when I installed the pickup by myself

Unboxing the VR-Nitro:
