      @Shaun.Stephens 4 года назад +5

      I like the Dogs solo on Animals - apparently done on a Tele too. But it has to be Comfortably Numb I guess.
      Edit: I'm going to re-listen to his first solo album tomorrow, I haven't listened to it for a while but there are some good lead solos on it. Actually I haven't heard it on my current stereo and it's the best and most revealing system I've ever owned so I'm looking forward to it now... 'Cry From the Street' comes to mind as well as 'No Way'.

    • @drothberg3

    Building DIY kits are great learning experiences. I have built two Telecasters, one standard, the other a thin-line w/two f-holes. I am currently working on a Jazzmaster, mahogany body and neck. Videos like this one are so helpful. Thanks for the lesson. Yes, you do develop a special connection to the guitar(s) when you do the build yourself.

  • @jimmyjames2022
    @jimmyjames2022 4 года назад +6

    Very thorough build walk through, your narration reminded me of "Adventures with Bill". It's worth it for someone who wants to learn the skills, but as a way to save money I doubt it due to mistakes that you might regret if you don't have the skill yet. Too many great Gilmour solos to choose, but anything from Waters-Gilmour Pink Floyd is an ecstatic experience.

    Great video - loved watching this build. I've built two Strats in the past, one of which is a replica of Gilmour's Red Strat with the EMG's. I agree with you on the Obsidian modules, they are great for a guitar project. I got one of their 4-way Tele modules when I overhauled my Tele with a set of the Fender '51 Nocaster pickups.
    Watching this build makes me want to build another one, or maybe go back and overhaul one of my existing guitars.

Actually, doing the exact same build as you except my body will be a custom made mahogany with quilted maple top, but also Gilmour inspired with all fender parts and his electronics. For the pickups I'm using Fender 57/62 for neck and mid, SSL-5 for bridge. Very well made video and the guitar looks and sounds fantastic, great job!

      Blaine Chung Hi, yes I do have a 57/62 pickup set in my mim standard strat for almost for 4 years now. Had changed the bridge pickup to SD SSL5 for a while coz I needed something hotter. The 57/62 are very vintage sounding. Very SRV ish . However I did change the bridge back to the 57/62 coz I realised I didn’t like hotter pickups. Hope u have good results with these. They are great. Are they as great as boutique pickups?? Probably not. But if are looking for the quintessential strat sounds, These will get the job done. Oh and do mess around with the pickup heights. It changes the midrange quite a bit.

    Regarding your final thought type question, whether its worth it or not? I would say if you are wanting a great quality instrument with some custom appointments (like the roasted neck, pickups, furniture) and you plan on keeping it for a lifetime, totally worth it! If this is planning to be sold off, maybe not so much. Still blows my mind a bit how modding a guitar into somewhat objectively "better", negatively impacts the resell price.

    I love these shows as designer myself I hope to start my own line of guitars by 2021. Even if a guy doesn't make the guitar they become an educated buyer of finished guitars. That helps me as a maker of a high quality but low price brand. I am currently waiting on my Lenard F-4G prototype. It is a guitar aimed at a Gibson player that wants the best of both a Tele and a Strat with a body style that is original but has a very Fender vibe. In many ways it is morph of a Tele & Strat. I worked from ideas that Leo Fender had in 1952 while finalizing the first P. Bass. The neck looks Fender but the spec is from a Les Paul. l hope to have it within 8 weeks. Perhaps you might care to review it.

    IT took you so long to soldier the spring claw because you did not use flux. Also you could have gotten the aged/cream pickup covers and knobs for about $12. You were already at $850. You can fill the bad screw holes in the back with filler and paint it black with nail polish, then move the guard back just a little and no one will ever know. Always do your neck work first. Make sure its straight, level and crown the frets. When you string it up, check the truss bow and correct if necessary. Set the saddle height, then the nut height. Then go back and file and recrown any frets that are not correct. And by the way, you're doing a great job. Stay with it and have fun.
