Nice but that presentation may already contain more "science" than some viewers can handle.

It would be helpful to hear how a shift of resonant frequency affects how a given pickup will sound in a guitar.

I hope not. I'd like to hear if this is the case if anyone feels that way.

That is a good idea for the next video.

It is tricky, striking a balance between being easily relatable and going "full nerd".

One of my favourite YouTube video presentations about guitar technology is the one in which an American chap uses a laboratory test rig to demonstrate how much difference capacitor materials make to passive roll-off tone controls.* Hardly thrilling viewing but a point well made. 

* The clean answer is, none at all.

I enjoyed it, good video as usual.

That was really interesting. It is pretty "sciencey" (for want of a better word), but I don't think it'll be too much for the target audience
