Yep, almost done!

Thanks, hope it turns out great!

@@hacksguitarhobby just watching you work on the guitar has got me motivated to upgrade my guitar. I've picked up a musiclily MX211OHD Tremelo 36mm block and a set of Wilkinson vintage alnico 5 pickups new pots and switch and D'addario 9 to 42. i think it is going to be a very nice guitar. just watching you work on guitars has given me the confidence i needed. thank you.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I picked it up, it’s the “Evil” Twin. :)

It is slightly heavy I suppose, but definitely solid.

Thanks, coming fairly soon! Should be finished with the guitar this week.

Thanks 👍

Nice, looks like a good tool and not overly expensive.

@@hacksguitarhobby yeah it works great. Takes the guesswork out of it. If it clicks, it’s higher than the number, and once it doesn’t, you just move down to the next number (until you’re at your ideal spot). Simple and cheap. My favorite stuff lol

I have liked everything I have tried so far.

@@hacksguitarhobby yeah they just came out with a cool spot level tool which I haven’t check how much it is, but definitely way cheaper than stewmacs fret kisser

It’ll be easy. I just need to test a selection tool and will announce the details.

@@hacksguitarhobby sweet!!!

No, they are very different.

@@hacksguitarhobby thnks

I imagine it would. Great upgrade platform.

I used to use lighter strings on short scales. As long as the neck has enough relief, the other setup issues can be overcome. Thank for watching!

Nice! Thanks for watching.

@@hacksguitarhobby it was my first guitar I played it live once but after that the low e string started going out of tune

Yes, keeps me busy!

It's at a premium, for sure. ZV-E10 eats it quickly.

@@hacksguitarhobby , love it! You always make me laugh.

$200 is a little rich. I'm buying as many as I can get my hands on for around $100, though.

@@hacksguitarhobby, yeah, it is. Don't think I'm gonna bite. Got 6 guitar's now. Had 16... space is my issue. Got my vintage guitar, my SE, my 2000 epiphone pre special with offset dovetail, 86 Squier bullet one contemporary stratocaster/ Telecaster, my Squier standard stratocaster wirh a fender stratocaster body and guts, and my RG ibanez rgt47dx neck through. Project and ok looking to get a neck for the Fender to bring it back to the 2018 50s soft v stratocaster. That's definitely enough. Just need a acoustic and I'm done. Oh and my starcaster with a flame maple neck and a rosewood fretboard. 😆 🤣

Thanks for the sub!

That’s the plan!

Definitely. I am drafting the rules and getting everything prepared. Should kick off in about 2-3 weeks.

Thank you!

Glad to help!

@@hacksguitarhobby hi i have bought some V5 pickups and 250k pots but i don't know what volume and tone capacitors to get would you have any suggestions.

You don’t need a cap for volume unless you want a treble bleed circuit. I have a video on that but would suggest skipping it until you get a little more practice wiring. For tone on single coil guitars with 250k pots, use a .047 uF cap, which is the standard value, and typically you only need one cap shared by both tone pots. You can play around with other values later when you get more experience. Might want to try .033, .022, or even .010 uF if the .047 doesn’t suit you, but it suits 90+ percent of Strat players.

@@hacksguitarhobby I'll try the .047 uf this is all new to me and i appreciate your help thank you.

Thanks, I hope someone loves it!

For noise cancellation, when used with one of the pickups next to it.

I knew that, I was just checking to see if you knew that... just kidding...! My parents made me this way... just kidding...! Thank you for the great vid and I will check out your other vids...!

I’ve been interested in trying one of these to tame a Floyd… might help amzn.to/4cS2NEV

Nice!

They actually are a bit darker than most Squiers I see. Not to the point of being roasted, but to the point that I did check the specs to make sure it was maple!

Thanks a lot!

Go for it!

It’s a great amp. Hope it works out!

Yeah I think matte is nicer on some colors than others. I admit it’s odd on a burst, but I still like it.

@@hacksguitarhobby I had red and and black already, so maybe if I polish the crap out of it I can get it glossy😎

Usually that works. Try it under the pickguard first!

@@hacksguitarhobby good thing is if anything happens it was only $119🤣

I thought I had heard about that change but wasn’t sure. Thanks for the info!

See the chart at 2:57. Duncan, DiMarzio, Lawrence, or a variation of those will work.

@@hacksguitarhobby ya, Hight

Maybe you mean height? Not sure what you’re after.

May try an experiment first, but we will see!

I’ve thought about P90s in a Strat for a while. We will see!

I see what you did there :)

Sure! The tape starts 3/8" back from the face of the washer that touches/compresses the clip. So, yes, the washer thickness is part of that 3/8".

@@hacksguitarhobbyoh ya good point haha. I may have just messed mine up. My clip ended up being a little too deep. I have to make some adjustments!

Knock it back into the body, then bend it back into shape once it’s out. Turn it 90 degrees in the hole when you reinstall it to get into fresh wood.

Dan Smith was at Fender then, but typically the Dan Smith designation stops at the ‘82.

Change the. Nut install graptech and string will know graptech too and put gotoh springs and install a bleed treblee and Orange drop 47 capacitor on the potentiometer

Cool, thanks!

I’ll check it out. You’ll be interested in my upcoming giveaway guitar. Also, I recently learned these have serials that start with 00, but they weren’t made in 2000. The sticker serials read as three digit years, so 002 is 2002, 007 is 2007, etc. Having seen a few dozen of these now, I can also say with confidence that they are nearly identical to most Starcasters except for the headstock shape.

@@hacksguitarhobby love giveaways! Yeah, I had a stratocaster that had a sticker number on it. Pre afinity is pretty neat too. Some had 22 frets. Like my standard strat.

I can do that on a future video. Essentially you just measure the height of the cap, drill to that depth with a 30 mm Forstner bit in a drill press with a depth stop, score up the bottom of the hole with a chisel, remove the liner from the cap and scratch up the inside, then fill the cap with hot glue to the surface, press the cap in the hole, and Bob’s your uncle. I had one pop out, which is why I started scratching things up before gluing now. I also recommend holding the cap with a canning magnet due to the heat from the hot glue, and guide it into the neck without turning the cap over, spilling the glue… but once installed, flip everything over to dry/cool so that the glue makes good contact with the wood. I may also try epoxy next time for a more definite bond, but I like the fact that I could heat and remove this if needed.

It’s been many years since I made it, so I don’t 100% remember the resistance values, but I’m pretty sure they are 10K each for a total of 20K. They are definitely 5W metal oxide. Wire wound might be simpler to find in high watt values. I used two only because I didn’t have higher resistance value resistors on hand.

@@hacksguitarhobby Awesome, thank you so much for your reply!

Difficult to say for sure. General consensus is that they are Agathis or Basswood.

Thanks! It's not much hum, just a bit.

Yes, I do need to do something for sure. Appreciate the suggestion.

Welcome aboard!

Thanks!
