Porter Pickup Install with David Barber from Barber Electronics!

In this episode, we take our PRS SE DGT to Barber Electronics to swap out the stock pickups for new Porter Pickups. David Barber was kind enough to walk us through the process in detail. In this video, we invite you into the room with David as he swaps out the pickups. There is no exciting video editing going on here, but rather, a chance to be in the room and listen to David’s expertise as he moves through the process. Thanks, David, we appreciate your help and advice with the swap!
