    *R E D S P E C I A L* announcement:
    I'll start a Red Special Build as soon as the channel reaches 100K, but don't rush, I need to finish that Les Paul first :)
    You can follow the weekly progression of the Les Paul here: instagram.com/tchiksguitars/ (Also I put a couple more sound clips of the blue guitar over there, with the drive from the Strymon Iridium + (mini)Tubescreamer instead of the Fender Pugilist you can here in this video).
    Have a great day !
    Bisous,

      I simply love that distorsion.

As with every distorsion pedal it has its limitation I guess but I'm very happy with this purchase !

    Just wondering if you had any reccomendations as to the body carve on a hollowbody build. In your shelf guitar video I noticed you drilled depth holes on one side and routed the other, was there a specific reason for this or was it just experimentation, in which case, which would you reccomend?

    My absolute favourite of your builds so far. One of the most stunning finishes ive ever seen i dream of one day building a blue jazz bass for myself and the turqoise binding is definetley going to be part of it.

    Je suis admiratif ! Il y a certes tout l’outillage pour bien faire, mais il y a surtout la touche de l’artiste authentique. Merci à vous pour le partage de ces moments de pure qualité.
