Glenn’s opinion was that changing guitar pickups won’t matter as much as changing something else like your speakers.

As in, a change in your speakers from V30s to greenbacks will make a bigger change in tone than swapping pickups.
Shhhh..They're upset and refuse to acknowledge truth. Glenn = bad and they refuse to see anything else

Glenn creates a video titled "Watch this before WASTING MONEY on new pickups" and his video shows that you should instead spend even more money changing your cab and speakers, and you think that's a truth? Or a truth that wasn't obvious?

To make the usual car analogy, "Watch this before WASTING MONEY on a new air intake" -> shows you actually get larger horsepower gains from LS1 engine swap.

That wasn't his point.

Well in that case, sorry, I'm not a disciple of Glenn, I have no training specifically on understanding the nuances of the teachings of Glenn, or to know how we should interpret His words to find meaning and purpose in our daily lives. I'm more of a literalist.

Maybe you didn't turn the video LOUD enough? You perhaps missed the parts where he speaks quietly.

Here is a link to the English translation of the book broken into PDFs for each chapter. They do get long, but each subject is thoroughly discussed with many experiments to demonstrate how guitars work.
Physics of the Electrical Guitar
Thanks for this, bookmarked it so I might have to check this out sometime. Does, sound interesting.
Second link doesn't load up for me.

if you fall in love with the tone of some weirdass boutique pickup made of samarium magnets through some weirdass boutique amplifier that uses whacky tubes with weirdass boutique speakers with cones made of yeti fur
Now I want to find a boutique speaker with a cone make of yeti fur.

BUILT IN FUZZ! PERFECT!
