F-Bomb is best bomb!

Did I see king diamond in the window❓

I just got the wine red one yesterday. Sounds and feels great! I love the neck binding. I miss it on the body though. I’m very happy with it so far and the pickups sounds great!

I have the same model. My first guitar. Bought it in 1983 I believe, for my birthday. I played it for years. It was always in my car throughout high school. Wrote lots of songs on it. Learned lots of songs on it. I gave it to a friend years ago when I got older and started making money and bought some more expensive guitars. I was lucky enough to get it back a few years ago. It's still in good shape, but needs some work. I'm looking to get it restored. Great guitar and lots of memories for me.

Great Vlog

lol that’s me! The tooth fairy

How has this repair held up? I just aquired a jackson dk2m with a broken head stock and i was thinking that the repair might require dowels. Everything ive read so far tells me glue alone should hold but im skeptical because it just seems like the area thats under the most stress and i dont want tuning issues

The OG Alice Cooper band got burnt out 8 albums in 5 years non stop touring etc..... . They also felt creatively spent so they took a break with plans to reunite after a set amount of time. The rest of the band sans Alice formed the Billion Dollar Babies and Alice went solo. The BDB's did more theatrics than the original Alice Cooper group. So the different musical directions myth debunked. They split on good terms and remain friends to this day. Alice pays Micheal, Dennis, and Neal yearly very well to continue using the name Alice Cooper professionally. There has been many attempts for the OG Alice group to reunite but life did what life does throw a wrench in the gears of best laid plans.

Excellent lesson Chris and awesome to see you having fun and playing more guitar!

I have zero formal guitar training. I do not even know what is what on the fret board. I know what I know and I am experimenting with passing it on in my own, hopefully, fun way. Take what I give and expanding on it is the goal here.

I think the Gibson headstock on the New Epiphones SUCK ! Shoulda left them as they were . I have the Original ‘59 Limited Edition version with the Burstbucker 2/3 . The New New version has Custombuckers but those have the same output value and don’t sound much different when you go from neck to bridge position . They shoulda wound the bridge hotter , IMO .

Love the joy you find in everyday life Chris. So inspiring

The ugliness is what makes it so cool.

Popular Mechanics did things like this.

People have found that taking over someone else's failed project costs more than going with a more established mfg. like Factory5.

One big reason kit cars aren't such a thing anymore is the lack of body-on-frame cars these days; you can't just replace the body on a unibody,

Yesss bring back the brubaker box😅

Stumbled across this - I agree with the overall enthusiasm. I built a Bradley GTII and over a year (bought someone’s project) in 1983 and drove it for 2-3 years. Also built a Baja with a fiberglass kit on an65’beetle in high school. VWs and fieros were the two top chassis to use then. Later after leaving my first career, I owned a 60,000 sq ft fiberglass mfg facility for a decade. Here’s my simple answer - govts in too many states made it really difficult. Insurance has become a bigger issue (I had some issues even with my Bradley GT). Finally external molding like you’re describing is a long process just due to sanding. It’s easier to mold out of something else and pull a plug, because the surface comes out smooth. Later in building an airplane (cozy mark IV) that became real and I didn’t finish. Most polyester resins and many epoxies are in styrene so you can’t use styrene as a form as ir will dissolve. It’s way easier to do with wood or spray urethanes like one used for insulation. That’s some input. I’m totally on board, but today it would be a shame to destroy a bug as they are getting way more difficult to find without being rust buckets. Check out kitcarmagazine dot com - I was subscribed for years (have piles of them in storage). I bet you’ll find all the answers you’re looking for there. Thanks again. Was great hearing your enthusiasm on this. Hope my long message gives you some directions to research.

Do you have a good concept you just delivered it very poorly work on that and you will get more subscribers

People are less into physical things and are more interested in the internet or gaming. Cost of everything is up and chassis that a suitable for this are harder to come by and need work. Back then, you were buying a relatively new car for cheap that has such a chassis. Nowadays body on frame is rare and expensive. Maybe look into exo cars, that's something people do with cheap cars these days.

Plenty of people are re-bodying cars with diy carbon fiber panels they build molds for. Similar idea

you should buy one! i’m at his shop now he makes great guitars!

I agree - like to see more of those cool fiberglass customs the days. 👍🏻

A large part of the reason it died off is vehicle design. Beetles were great, the body bolted onto a pan, but modern cars? Everything's welded together, doors, hood and front fenders are about all you can remove. Throw in that unibody makes the body an integral part of the frame, and it's really just not possible for an amateur any more

This is actually genius. Blended 3 iconic body styles. It works.

I watched a really cool documentary on Rat Fink and more specifically Ed Roth. And it talks about him starting on doing fiberglass. It's a really good documentary. I'll have to find where it is and let you know where I watched it and what it's called. It was a free stream channel if I recall right.

its like droping a pick in an acoustic guitar but whole next level. Im better going for an SG 😭

Where do I buy one of these??? I’ve been wanting this for years.

Search phoenix boonie bug and or phoenix camper van.

5:53 to add to this. He mad 3 or so and an investment company stepped in to produce the remainder that went out to the public.

You seriously underestimate yourself Chris, you've demonstrated and explained (taught) your approach to note bending and expression. Very useable information from an affable very modest perspective. Please share more.

just got a brand new one in blueberry burst....sounds and plays great....i will add kluson locking tuners

I’m pretty good with bending, but honestly it’s a great lesson. You kept it interesting and fun and that’s really important

Awesome buddy

First, I want honest (without being a d-bag) response. The idea here was to show how poor I would be at giving guitar lessons. LOL So, no need to be nice just to be nice. Either way, I hope you get something from it. Were you able to follow along? Did anything I said make any sense. Is anything I talked about new to you or useful to you and your playing?

I’m interested. I’m considering a wine red one

I did several videos on it. It’s affordable. I got the black one.

I just got the ONE. I like it.

I have a 2006 tobacco burst with gold hardware. love that guitar has the 490 pickups when I got it orriginally. now I had bad pots so I decided I wanted to coil split but the original pickups didn't split so I have Duncan jb and jazz

I have two 1993 LEs Paul studios one Black and the other white, still in great condition. They absolutely rock!

Lol Did agnessi pay for this?

I, too, am a spider. You may not teach people, but at least you give out pointers and that counts.

How did it sound with the Eldred controls? I know you traded it off eventually.

Cool video Chris! The spooky season rules! But please more guitar playing! Need to see you riffing some thrash metal like old exodus or possessed

Blow… 🤭

I want to order one just for decoration.... But i think i get in trouble with the german gouverment when i order one

One Killer guitar Chris

Once you learn what you’re doing you can run shop at your garage make extremely good money That and you can make submarine parts rocket ship parts aircraft parts. Given somebody else a job spending money in your community that would not have been there it’s a way to pay it back every dollar you spend goes around your community many times. A lot of what you call machinist parts changers. CNC machines need a lot of that.

Basswood body or not ?
