Doug and Pat discover that there is more to the electric guitar than the pickups-who knew? Here they start their detailed journey of discovery about what they are, how they differ, does the value of the pot matter and what are these little black things with colored stripes on them? Ever curious and benevolent in their quest for tone, sort of like Gandhi meets Leonardo Da Vinci (or is that Dicaprio?) they are willing to swap them out and plug them in to answer the big question: can they make you sound better? And vintage? We got your vintage! How do the replacement harnesses compare to the Les Paul's of the Golden Era? Has it changed the already rich and entitled lives of Doug and Pat? Maybe, but will it change yours? Grab your favorite pipe and a cup of tea and let's find out together.

Wouldn't it be great if you could take a couple of the most iconic and valuable electric guitars ever made to your house, plug them into your amp and compare them to your own guitar with those boutique pickups you paid so much for? Fat chance. But that's exactly what Doug and Pat are doing as we drop in on the first installment of the "Doug and Pat Show" comparing classic PAF equipped Gibson Les Paul guitars against a newer Heritage H150 with WCR "Crossroads" pickups (and 250K pots). They use a vintage Vox amp and a newer Marshall amp, no pedals, no effects, just straight into the amplifier. The microphone is an AT 4040 20 inches from the cabinets, no EQ. Apples to apples. Check it out then talk among yourselves. See all the shows and more at our web site: thedougandpatshow.com. Get on it.
