The super distortion sounds awesome. Keep it.
Thanks Tal!
I like it too overall just sometimes i feel like its a little too muddy.. keeping it for sure though :)
Warmoth used to supply charvel when charvel first started making modded strats. Eddy Vanhelen's Frankinstrat started life in the scrap bin at charvel, so this is your Frankinstrat. Cool guitar ,imperfections just make it more rock n roll.
That's right!
And I agree this guitar definitely got some mojo thanks to the imperfections :)
That guitar is perfect! Your an incredible guitar player! I saw Eddie and Randy live you are as good if not better! Best wishes to your success!
Thanks so much man!
Respect for You Mate! It was worth it, sounds AMAZING!! 👊
Cheers Gary it sure was!
Really love that guitar 😍
Love Warmoth!!!
Your playing is awsome bro!!!
Rock on!!!
Thanks brother!!
I'm buying parts for a very similar warmoth -- basically, it'll be like the Warren DeMartini Frenchie. I have the RTM pickup and a quarter pounder ready to go.
Sounds great!
Dont forget to share a video once its done
Dimarzio Super Distortion is a classic, always works for me, just the sound I grew up with.... Frehley, Al DiMeola etc. Try a Dimarzio X2N if you get a chance, not for everyone, but a fun ride👍
Yeah It's working for sure.. never been a fan of the X2n though, way too hot for me!
@@OferHolan yeah I, swapped my X2N back to a Super Distortion. Had to try an X2N as that's what Vai used with Zappa and on the Flexable album, you just want to try all this shit out for yourself you know. Keep rocking dude🤘
@@dalenicholas1984 Sure man, it's all about trying it all for yourself and see what works for you.
Rock on brother!
maybe try the SH-5 or Duncan Distortion in the bridge. the neck pickup sounds awesome. i like the SD quarter pound pickups as well for single coil.
Yeah I love the quarter pounder!
I've learned to like the super distortion as well.. but yeah I definitely should try those pickups
Keep the super d sir. Sounds great. We have almost the same preferences in guitars. Same specs basically I would get. Love the a symmetrical necks. Had one on a USA made Peavey Wolfgang. Most comfortable neck ever for me.
I think I will go with a Gotoh bridge / floyd copy since I love my Gotohs on my Ibanez axes. The edge, erc. I think they are made by Gotoh. I've had one before and really really liked it. 1996t gofoh and it's only about a 100 bucks. So much less expensive and quality. It reminds me of my Schaller floyd on my 1990 Charvel preditor.
Were the stainless frets good and level or did you have to do any leveling? Were you able to get the action pretty low? I like it low to medium usually. I don't play super fast personally even though I love shred, but I'm more of a blues and blues rock guy. I do love a whammy bar and Steve Vais stuff, etc.
Anyway. Great video my friend.
Regards from Southern Indiana USA.

Cheers Tim!
Yeah the neck is very unique and addictive in a way..
About the frets, yeah I had to go and get a proper fret job, the fret end were sharp and the action couldn't get low without getting buzz and dead notes.. but now it's great.
Looking forward to see your build it sounds very cool!
I have a super distortion in a 5150 EVH striped Kramer copy and I love it. If you like the early EVH tone this will get you as close to it as possible. It's quite a bit "thicker" or bassier than most high output pickups. It works great with a boosted Marshall not as great with my Mssa or EVH Stealth.
I agree, lots of bass in that pickup.
It does resembles some VH tones.
Pretty cool pickup, that guitar is all over my album.
My next purchase will be a super strat and that is my combination of pickups, I just discovered Warmoth and loved the idea of getting my own custom guitar... Question: Tha is the strat body or the soloist body? They are similar.
Awesome good luck with it!
This is a strat body, the soloist got deeper cutaways and is a bit smaller I believe.
Mashaallah.. beautiful guitar 😍👍🎶🎼
Thank you!
Nice build, man! I love it!
Thanks brother!
This is the best tone you have gotten in your video's imo 🤘
Thank you!
I remember really questioning this tone at the time haha!
Looks and sounds great!!!
Thanks Tom!
Great guitar. it's SSL-4? Alder body?
No its a Quarter Pounder.
And yeah its an alder body.
@@OferHolan oh, i don't knew that Duncan has just Quarter Pund. I always saw Quarter Pound SSL-4. High output neck singles sounds great.
I think the Dimarzio sounds good under your fingers. But if you're unsure, there's so many options out there. Cheers!
Cheers man!
Yeah I ended up recording an album with it and it did pretty well.
The 80s didnt die, they just became this guy.
Haha I love (and live) the 80s!
Cheers man :)
Awesome guitar, great review, and fantastic playing! Sub’d.
Thanks man appreciate it!
What finish is the neck?
Great sounding guitar and awesome playing as always, how is it compared to the white Charvel ?
Keep up with the cool videos 🤘
Thanks man!
It's actually very different both in sound and playability.. I'll probably make a comparison video at some point but I love em both!
What riff is that one that you opened up with? Badass
Thanks!
Just a random riff I came up with.
Oh no shit definitely need to make it into a song lol
Is that tremelo floating or dive only? I did see the recess cut behind the bridge. I love that configuration of guitar. Tech questions; what pots did you use...a 500k for volume, a 250k or 500 for the tone? Love that Seymour Duncan quarter pounder...the bridge sounds fine. But if you wanna try another bridge pickup, the EVH Wolfgang shoul pare up nice with the neck...or maybe the WDM matching pickup. You sound good bro!
Thanks man!
The tremolo is fully floating.
The pots are 550k bare knuckle pots.
Love the quarter pounder as well!
Gotta try the EVH at some point it should be a great pickup!
you should try a Bill Lawrence 500XL in the bridge instead of the super..it sounds great but i swear by these Bill Lawrences
this guitar reminds me of some of the 80's Yamaha metal guitars. obviously built with better quality parts :)
It got that vibe for sure!
I like the Seymour Duncan super distortion but I like the JB better imo. It sounded great in that guitar though. So did you paint it yourself?
No I ordered this one from Warmoth in that colour actually.
Your playing is awesome
Thank you!
didnt dig the bridge pickup very much...its a bit too messy to my taste.... but a beast of a guitar congrats!
Yeah I feel that too sometimes.. I'll try something else when I'll get sick of it
maybe you prefer a seymour duncan JB on the bridge, but it sounds good with that dimarzio! Great solo!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I've got a JB laying here too but for now ill keep the super distortion in it.. i'll keep the JB for the new body Warmoth will send me :)
Thank you!
@@OferHolan 🤘🤘🤘 yeah!
Ofer, what was the measurement of the neck width at the nut also, that Seymore Duncan Quarter Pound sounds quiet, is there no 60 cycle hum or are running through a noise gate?
There is a hum when playing the QP unfortunately and yes I'm using a noise gate.
It's still a great sounding pickup!
The width is 42mm If I'm not wrong..
@@OferHolan Thanks!
what,scthe radius of the neck?
12-16 inches
I'm not super well versed in building, but is the string tree still necessary with the locking nut?
Yes, the string tree lowers the string so that when you lock the nut they won't go sharp because they dont rest flush with the nut without it..
Hey Ofer,
turned out to be a really good guitar!
Did you do all the work yourself?
May I ask what you paid for the entire project?
Thanks brother, yeah its great !
I did everything by myself except the fret crowning (That was really required).
The guitar including all the parts cost me around 1400$ (not including shipping).. not so cheap but not really expansive considering all the specs i went for.
Overall it was a great experience and it turns out I'll build another one soon cus Warmoth gonna send me another body as i mentioned in the video.
@@OferHolan Respect!
Personally, I wouldn't have the inner peace to build guitars!
@@MikeMarkwitz As I've said in the video, there are some nerve wrecking moments, but its really not rocket science and eventually its really an awesome experience to go through..
On the other hand buying a guitar that plays and feels great from day one is an awesome experience as well !
That looks like a super sweet axe. And your playing is pretty kick-ass, too.
I thought the Super Distortion sounded perfectly acceptable, but it's not about my opinion, nor is it about anyone else's except yours. If you're not digging the sound of that pickup, replace it with something you'll like better. Otherwise you'll always wonder how good it _could_ have been.
Thanks !
I've actually learned to like it!
Definitely took me a while but I love it at the moment.
@@OferHolan Mission accomplished, then. Righteous.
Great build man. What was the overall cost?
Thanks!
I think something around 1500$
🤟🎸
hey whats that warmoth body made of?
Alder

תודה רבה!
You didn’t build that guitar. You assembled it. When you’ve crafted an instrument from raw wood then, you can say you built it.
Is that a Strat body or soloist?
Strat
Habibi, Tele better anyway
