If you're gonna do a half-fretless thing, you should either do the higher half of the fretboard of to somehow raise up the fingerboard to the same height as the frets. You're getting dead notes because the string is basically being fretted onto the lowest remaining fret instead of vibrating between your finger and the bridge. An amusing video nonetheless.
I did my Squire with a Tele neck pickup and texas specials in the middle and bridge. Three way switch, like a Tele, for the neck and bridge, and the middle fades in and out on its own volume knob. Then master vol and tone for the whole mix. A ton of other cool ass parts and that Squire is one of the coolest and most unique Strats you'll ever find.
Really Mikey ? Just get a pawn shop squire, paint it pink, put some ears on it and throw it in a dumpster... Then roast it,start a band, and call it Bar- B - Q , then make the video...
Reminds me of a time at work. I clean for hoarders and there was a beautiful harmony parlor with a trapeze saddle on the property. Mice had gotten through the sound hole and were nesting in it 💀 Broke my heart a little bit.
If you prefer single coils, you should try one of the Freeway 10 way Strat switches, that play pickups in series as well. It doesn't sound exactly like a humbucker (like coil-split humbuckers don't sound exactly like single coils), but it's a much thicker sound.
body looked pretty cool after toasting it, and that probably also sanitized the trash residue on it..... but probably could have parted it out (neck and body) after a little cleaning and made 80-100 bucks total... but the resulting content could be priceless to some, i suppose
mikey i have an idea, get a 7 string, but also get it in multiscale, the Harley Benton R-457BK MultiScale is $169, reason is because 1, b string heavy, and 2, the theory behind multiscale is its like a pianos string, please consider
Hey Mikey, I just bought myself a tonemaster super reverb but started experiencing burnout. Before I get back to playing (taking some time off to stop my burnout) do you got any tips to get a better tone? I know you love Hendrix, and so do I but I’ve been having a hard time getting some good Hendrix tones out of it. Thanks!
I have a old crappy strat it was what my dad learned to play on and his friend and his older brother. Then there was me. It’s at least 40. I call it the garbage rod as a refrance to the mosin nagant which is an old crappy rifle from the Russian empire. I plan to pass it down.
Us mortals saving up money and busting our mortal asses to buy a decent enough and this crazy kid just decides to burn one 😂😂😂😂 What the living fuck?! Haha Love your videos, man, but you're kinda crazy. Keep up the good work!!
that vape discovery was absolutely hilarious

Love how it turned out.
Super 'punk rock' looking.
Also, since you said it smelt when you burnt it, might call it the 'punk skunk' strat.
I love the repairing on the guitar videos keep making them !
another great guitar video! Very entertaining, and informative!

You have to turn it into kurt's vandalism strat
bro u didnt ruin it u upgraded the hell out of it (this is coming from a grunge/punk rock fan)
Before you cleaned it it looked and sounded like a strat we have in music class in school

Why does this dude have the coolest room
I just put in a set of lace sensors in an old Squier this week. Cool.
This might be the funniest guitar vid I’ve seen omg
Skunk Baxter & Jack Pearson would be proud of you
6:25 is that a vape?
Ye shame
Who cares?😐
