Yup I know, I think I forgot to mention it in the video.

It very well could have been.

@@HaZZb97 Thanks man. And yes, the Iceman is my favorite Ibanez for that reason; the radical shape. I have two each Explorers & Firebirds, so two Icemen will be a pair of fine stablemates to my arsenal.

Aw thanks, Kait, glad you liked it 😘Check my other project guitar video out too, link's in description.

What's that?

Thanks for the advice.

I am planning on that once my budget allows for it. Loaded pickguards are often pretty pricy.

Were you trying to push the strings all the way into the scallops?

..i remember the first impression being surpricingly normal in spite of what the scalloped neck looked to me.. i'd say the learning curve for me was to play freely but still intonate the grip..so a quite a bit of lighter touch is reguired..but i got used to it quite quick despite that i'm an old fart..😅 ..and the wonderful string bending more than made up the slight discomforts in the beginning.. Since then it's been very addictive neck..😊

@@MichaelD8393 I was 15 or 16 at the time and knows nothing about how to play on such neck.

@@hipihei Yeah, once you start easing up on your touch, it almost feels like playing on air; which it is as your fingers & the string are suspended over the board. I definitely see why Yngwie's so fond of scalloped neck. He's said his favorite part of having one is the control you get on the string for bending & vibrato.

@@fajaradi1223 Hey we're all noobs at some point. I'm just glad I realized lightening your touch on the strings when I first tried one of Yngwie's signature Strats.

Awesome, Pete, I'm surely not done yet.

I sure will, Taty.

Thank you, Lindsey. This one turned out better than I thought.

Proud so proud ❤Proud so proud ❤ ❤ ❤

@@lindseylovesblog Thank you, Lindsey! ❤ 🥰

I sure am; I still can’t believe how good it came out. I plan to put some new pickups in it, maybe a hybrid setup of a DiMarzio HS3 in the bridge & two of Yngwie's Seymour Duncan Fury pickups for the middle & neck. The highest 5 or 6 frets also need to be scalloped a little more, but that’ll be in the future.

Thanks, definitely won't be my last artist tribute guitar.

Words to live by!

No I don’t actually; maybe I should get on that.

Thanks, I got the neck on eBay for $56. It came from Sri Lanka, though, which meant delivery wasn’t overnight or next day, but worth the wait. I just put the seller's eBay store in the description.

Interesting idea. I'll give that a whirl as I do wanna scallop the highest 5 or 6 frets. What do you use to finish the neck when it's done, though? I need to know that for sure.

@@MichaelD8393 Lacquer spray but you can use whatever is available and it's better to use the same type/kind used with your neck even the shade or color. It would be better to know what's the finish or your neck. I did not use any on a Rosewood fingerboard just dab it with lemon oil.

@@boloki72 Copy that. I’m not sure what the neck is finished with, so I got some digging to do; I would guess polyurethane, though.

Well it all lined up just fine for me, and what I paid for the neck.

Thanks for the help; fret work is a whole new territory for me of course, so any advice is greatly appreciated 👍🤘

@@velascaux Cool, I figured I’d go the full nine yards; scalloped board & all. The neck I got has pretty large frets, but probably not jumbo like Yngwie’s signature Strats. They still get the job done, though, but I do have to scallop the highest 5 or 6 frets to make them closer to Yngwie’s signature.

Ah, thanks for the tip, I didn’t know that. I'll keep that in mind for the next fret job I do. Maybe I'll redo the job on this neck, too.

@@MichaelD8393 Yeah the neck has to be perfectly level and stable. The neck should not move as you level or crown.

@@These_go_to_eleven_1959 Good to know.

@@bryantcrawford5664 Heh thanks.

Exactly, I'm just trying to decide which; the DiMarzios or Seymours. You have any suggestions to that?

@@MichaelD8393 I use HS3 in the bridge and his signature SD fury in the neck position. That suits me best. Try DMs and SDs to suit your style.

@@mirkojovanovic3216 Hmm good idea. I think I’ll do a mix of them both too; maybe the SDs in the neck and bridge and the HS-3 in the bridge. I’m gonna keep the guitar’s existing 5-way switch as it works just fine. And I also like tapping into the 2 & 4 positions on a Strat.

@@MichaelD8393 fury pickups are very straty, to my ear bridge is to trebly,that's why I use HS3 in the bridge to give more bass and body and fury in the neck doesn't get muddy.

@@mirkojovanovic3216 Thanks for the input. What about the middle, DM or SD?

@@greatvanzini thanks Greatvanzinni. This one was a bit tricky due to the lighting but totally worth it.

I checked your channel. You need lessons.

Doubt you can do anything better.

@@PrestonSmithsMusic Doubt he can play anything at all.

@@MichaelD8393 His channel is full of crap.

@@PrestonSmithsMusic Yeah, I just noticed.

@@odinhhzanddrtuber Thanks, really happy with how this one turned out.

@@Rob-fn1lm Awesome, man, glad you liked it. Welcome to the channel too.

Thanks, knees; projects like this are always fun videos to make.

Stop please no more you sound like ballocks crap bub

​get help mate

@@PrestonSmithsMusic thanks Preston. Locking tuners are optimal but the vintage split shaft ones are good too. The best ones though are the D’Addario Auto Trim ones; they cut the string as you tune up 👍

@@MichaelD8393 I have to get some fret dressing tools. I have a neck that needs to be fixed badly. Great work, man!

@@PrestonSmithsMusic Thanks, Preston. The fret file I got from Amazon worked great but required some elbow grease; just a heads up. You might want to look for a heavy-duty one to ease the workload.

Who you trying to teach clown

Put the guitar down

@@matthewmoore5698 I can see that. The Clash recorded _Sandinista_ without an outside producer like that had previously. So with no one telling them when to stop or where to cut, it was hard for them to distinguish songs from self-indulgent crap. As a result they decided to just release everything they recorded. And yes I remember needing to fast forward cassette tapes, and then rewind after you went past the beginning of the song you wanted.

Thanks, Masha. I thought the Holoflash would look amazing under a UV when I first saw it on Badlands' website, and my hunch was right.

Thanks Pete, can't wait to properly cover this song; stay tuned for that.

Thanks, Knees. I'll never part with my Explorer for anything, not even an identical one.

@@mykneeshurt8393 Thanks, Knees, it's $1,400; not bad for a vintage Gibson. But it definitely needed a setup as the action was a bit high for my taste. And those reverse ratio tuners will take some getting used to.

@@MichaelD8393 I have a guitar that came with reverse tuners. I replaced them with normal ones.. My brain can't deal with backwardsness...

@@mykneeshurt8393 Mine neither, but the problem with that is I'd have to keep those tuners of the EB-0 if I buy it as they're vintage.

Thanks, Dwight; it's surprisingly versatile for a single-pickup bass.

@@TheDogPa Valid but there were no Ampeg Amos to be had at the store.

Indeed, some parts are a bit off-time. I may just redo this one.

@@MichaelD8393 i didn’t mean to be rude - i just adore this song

@@hazfan9208 I knew that because I can hear some parts are off. This is my favorite song off _Achtung Baby_ so I gotta do it right next time.

@@MichaelD8393 there are a bunch of good covers, including this one ruclips.net/video/O7vND49DoLw/видео.htmlsi=e0WoVz8XrUHUlWu6
