Can I buy a neck from you on eBay??
@@bryang.6809When they are back in stock yes.
Love your channel!! Thanks
hi, I looked at your Amazon list, for all sorts of parts to make our own picks ups & stuff, is the bees wax what we use to wax the pickups ? I saw the poles but what is the name of the tool we use to make sure the poles are polling in the right way before we put them into the pick up holes? thanks,
I don't know what that tool is..
I absolutely love this guitar, and the double H white guitar! Man that is the best!
Hands up if you never get sick of watching guitars being assembled.
Make it 2 hands up. I would like to see Cathy wind two single coils and how to wire solder it right to become a humbucker and not a microphone and put the back plate on soldered and how to wax pot it. I don’t have a wind counter machine, but to see and understand how each step is the difference between a good pickup wa great pickup. I have wax potted a few. From now on every one, just call me Bill.
Really enjoy watching Sean
Amen!!!
Sean is the greatest repair video man I have ever seen. Not only is he truly talented his dialogue is well worth every video I can find! For anyone who is tired of seeing these...quit watching.
🖐️🖐️! Every time I watch, I learn, and get more confidence to start doing my own builds!
Brads has better wiring circuit with a better switch, pots and caps, no doubt. It also has way better tuners. It seems it also got the better body of mahogany. Shaun’s guitar has way better trem, with big block and no quality issues. It also has much better pickups, they sound strong and punchy with good flavour. I also think the neck is probably better with the fretwork etc. Build and assembly quality favours Shaun’s Scarcaster. It has better fit and finish and more cohesive hardware. In summary, my vote goes to Shaun. That said, love both your channels and have learned heaps from you.
Dang it.
I followed your instructions at 1.5 speed and ended up with a ukulele.
I am literally stunned at how juicy the custom made Axe sounded compared to the $900 dollar wall mount, this comparison is beyond being blown out of the water. Strangely I hear and see this kind of thing a whole lot lately. I am a bargain buyer of cheap guitars and I find it fascinating that literally my low budget guitars are 9 out of 10 times better than a pricy label. There are off label brands that are insane like Leo Jaymez, The cheap LP EPi's are literally fantastic, The SBYSolar are incredible, and Harly Bentons, I would argue pro ready with minor adjustments. Don't believe the brand hype, SMG is 100% on point with this low budget build.
It proves everything you need to know about a quality axe and a wall mount. Today is a great day for low budget guitars that bury over priced wall mounts.
I am stoked to know I am not the only guy on the block that has learned this and just always afraid to say it.
Like how do ya try and explain this to somebody that literally spends thousands on a guitar and expect them to agree?
They don't but the truth is so glaring admitting such would make them feel dumb blowing insane amounts on a over priced brand axe.
This is one of your best video's! Keep rollin it!
I love this collaboration between my 2 favorite RUclips channels. Both great guys, both channels full of great info. Can't wait to watch both videos!
Sean and Cathy I changed my handle to Bill and some other numbers. Will that affect my membership? I see my star .
Man you just made Fender look real bad they going to send the Men in Black out to you those pickups are great
Sean you prob already know this, but when I drill my holes through finish, I run the drill in reverse. Takes longer to make the hole but doesn't chip the finish. Learned this when drilling holes through fiberglass boat hulls.
Just saw and heard Brad's guitar build. From my point of view you've got this in the bag. Well done 😎👍
Great video!!
Tip: loosen the screws of the neck a little when the strings are on and in tune, so that the neck is maximally pocketed and makes best contact with the body, then tighten the screws of the neck again, tune it again, done
Brad would have to take time away from his conspiracy theories to actually do this lmao.
just watched both videos... yours is the guitar id want... winner
LMAO..and HE LOVES Mesa Boogies!!
PERHAPS TEMU SHOULD MAKE A ,,,,, WAIT FOR IT
A SCAR GUITAR YEA BABY
My Temu guitar I built with an SSS pickguard sounds better than any guitar I bought. Except for the Kramer, I put a new loaded HSS pickguard on from TEMU. My tone pots broke when I put new nobs on the Kramer. I since repaired that pickguard with 500 pots from Temu. It's waiting for my next build.
Most loaded pickguards are single ply and have S Korean and Chinese trash. When you take the old pickguard off save everything you can because you might need it, like Napoleon you don’t want a piece of plastic or soldering something wrong because you don’t have an example to look at.
@@Bbbbad724 that's exactly what I did. I'm starting to stockpile parts for future builds and mods.
Work of art 🎨 I say. Great job 👍 Sean and Cathy 🤗. Thank you for sharing your time. Have a great weekend everyone. From the Pacific Northwest 👍✌️😎
I would've tightened mine cross pattern, but not now. That makes a lot of sense tightening the neck down that way. Thanks for the tip.
Idk man, the neck is probably the most important part of a guitar. It affects both playability and comfort. I gotta say you might have an unfair advantage haha. Honestly if I had the ability and facility to build a neck I would do the same. Great guitar, man. Love that style of truss rod. Also, could you link your friend's channel in the description?
I can’t believe a temu Guitar can stomp a fender Stratocaster! Great work Sean.
Winner! Better sounding, nicer neck, SS Frets and 2 point trem.
I landed on your channel about a week ago and I've been watching as many of your videos as possible since then. I caught your live feed tonight as well. I really enjoy your content, especially your humor! Btw, this particular guitar is nice for sure, looks and sounds great! This has quickly become my favorite guitar channel on RUclips! Keep up the great work man!
That is awesome!
You're 100% correct on rules equaling boundaries , I'm 57 and still don't follow rules and never will. PS you're going to waste him in this competition , he must be crazy. You're the man!✌️🤘🤘
I just bought a strat body and neck off of Temu. Everything else I’ll get somewhere else. Fingers crossed that the neck is good.
Killer Sound Brother & can't beat the price !
just got my bridge and was finishing the mock-up on my build when You came on.
Now to take it all back apart & start the hard part finishing the Body & Neck...
I have that same pickgaurd and it's great. I replaced all the wire with cloth pushback, the pots with CTS, orange drop caps. One for the singles and one for the bridge which has its own tone knob. It sounds fantastic and I've got $70 and some time in it.
Like your look and tone better on your build
I don't know what is more amazing. Building such a wonderful guitar from Temu... or actually having a 10mm socket when you needed one. lol
What is it about those 10mm sockets anyway? They are forever finding a place to hide. Guitar work, truck repair, motorcycle, boat, appliance repair... it doesn't matter what you are working on, the 10mm is the first one to go missing and the last one to be found.😁
When you drill those holes.....place a dbl layer of masking tape on the body and drill in 3 or more steps. I do it that way on furniture I build and never have a chip in the finish
you should have the guitologist build an amp from temu parts and you build a guitar from temu parts and then do a tone demo
I use drills , on almost everything that I can use it on Thanks for the video you got a New Fan! I liked & I subscribed
Awesome! Thank you!
I got a cheapo drill from Ikea, and... before it broke... I loved it. It was sooo gutless that it could not possibly overtighten a screw. I'm also NOT a guitar guy, but I have done a fare bit of drywall work (also not a professional) and that old Ikea special never stripped a hole.
This guitar is a little better than Guitologist's. He has a huge gap between the neck and body in the neck pocket. Also, he used more than two items not from Temu (pots, pickups, tuners).
Temu is a Chinese owned company. Their US locaion is Boston, but they are owned directly an completely by the Chinese.
China is building plants in Mexico.
I usually plug the 6 screw holes before I set up the 2 post bridges. FYI, there are no videos on RUclips that explain how to do this. 🤷🏼♂️
🤣🤣🤣
“I hit the button twice”
“Well, that’s the same as OFF”
Y’all are too funny. Luv ya Cathy!
Ha Ha, Brad is an Amp guy, There is NO Way that he can Build A Guitar better than you Man, Brad is going to Borrow your knowledge here from this video, This Guitar sounds Great, People pay Thousands of Dollars for an Axe that sounds and Plays this Well, My Best, Keep the Great Podcast Coming, Cousin Figel
Man that thing Rocks!! Killer job, love all the shinny bits.
The tone difference is unreal !!!
Just shows you, it's only the frickin name you're paying for 😠
The fret ends are so nice i bet it feels really good. Nice and straight. Killer. I think they are both great guitars. I hope I can get one of those necks.
Hey Sean where can we order your stainless steel fret guitar necks from and what is the general price on such a neck?
Just a question. Why didn't you painter's tape it first, before drilling?
This channel is great. Not only do I thoroughly enjoy the content, but the host is great. You can tell that he truly is a very and kind person. That goes a long way when you are hosting a show. Respect, brother.
Well done Sean 👏
Nice video. I enjoyed watching both yours and your friend's. Makes me want to build a guitar.
Just found your channel, love it and subscribed. Agreed on the sticker thing too. Think your build of the Temu sounds better than the Fender. Glad this poopy up. Really enjoy watching, thanks.
Awesome, thank you!
I know I’m not the only one who head butts the screen at the end of every video! 😂 That’s a beautiful build and it does sound unbelievable.
Where did you get that neck?
Great video and nice build. BTW, I find Brad is an arrogant sh*t-stirrer and refuse to watch him. One of only two gear channels on YT I can't tolerate.
Sorry to hear but I get it! Rock on!
Having what I'd choose to call a mid life INSPIRATION here. Did a bit of guitar between the ages of 10 and 18. Been a long while, but I'm tempted to learn again with electric. This video has encouraged me to go further and build my own. Well within my capabilities to do. Just love the sound of this build, it's amazing. Tried the link for the pickguard and it's coming up as a double humbucker instead of the one you've got with the neck and middle using the Alnico Vs. I'm guessing this would make a huge difference to the sound? Any suitable alternatives on Temu??
Black and White is always a good colour combo, i have 9 that are Black, White or B/W, and with chrome or nickel hardware it makes them pop. Back in the 70's and early 80's when i first started playing, decent guitars were expensive, nowadays many factories have computerised machinery that turns out quality guitars and parts inexpensively and with videos available on youtube kids can build great custom guitars for themselves at pocket money prices, i would have loved to have these options at 10 - 11 years old. Apologies for going on a bit, great build fella, sounds great, you should have let the Mrs do the scratch plate work tho.
Both did a nice job but like you said nothing beating this guitar you built sounds amazing looks great hell of a job have to give this challenge to you. Gained a new subscriber
Thanks!
Wow , Shawn that guitar sounds killer man! I can't believe it sounds so good 😂❤
Hell of a good sounding guitar bro.
Man that ax sounds really good. Yea better than the fender.
I would have used a coping saw and a file to notch out the pick guard. But you still got the job done 😊
Upgrade your strat pickups and see what happens. I got a HSS player series MIM strat too that I hot rodded the F out of with some Seymour Duncans, staggered locking tuners and graphtech saddles and it's light out!
I would not touch a damn thing about those pickup's. The numbers are legit and the perfect spot. The pickups are literally the last thing I would change.
Just my 2 cents just because Pickup's have to be a sweet spot, some got it, some do not.
@Mechanobi of course, we're all entitled to our own opinions, so my disagreement is respectful. The better an instrument sounds, the more I love it and want to play it and who doesn't want to sound as good as possible? I know I do. As someone who simultaneously loves and kind of hates fender guitars at the same time, if there's a better product than what fender decided to put on there, it's a no-brainer to me to upgrade it.
I turned my HSS strat into something I absolutely love from something I just really liked.
My other strat, on the other hand, I just ordered some fender vintage noiseless pickups for it that they put on a lot of their top end guitars and still retains the classic strat tones. All the hum and noise just ruin it for me, and I don't play it much as a result. However, i surely will after I put those babies in there.
But the world needs its purists too, so more power to ya brother. Let's just keep rockin in our own ways. 🤘
I can’t find anything on Temo that even resembles that particular loaded pick guard. There doesn’t seem to be anything else with pickups that good.
I do so love the build, this was a good one.
Body is discontinued from Temu, so now what? I couldn’t find any guitar bodies on Temu
They will be back, chill out! They sold out quick!
So you are backing up the filled pick guards from Temu?
Looks and sounds fantastic ,better workmanship than my squier strat ,one of the claw screws pulled right out our it that was the bullet affinity lot better but no sound as good as yours ,thanks for another great video ,I've learned a lot ,keep em coming Sean ,from Baz in England
I did a temu build with that body. Used a Squier neck I had laying around. Bought a $25 loaded pickguard off Amazon with the a bridge humbucker & a rail single size humbucker in the neck & middle & mini toggles to coil split them. And a kill switch. $80 into it & it smokes all my other comparable guitars.
Knucklehead Lmao 🤣🤣🤣. Good video as usual buddy. Have a good one 👍✌️💯🎸🎸
Would love to do a first time tele build....would ya recommend a parts list or better yet just do a video and lets git this guitar built....lol
Has a bit more punch then the fender,sounds gooood.
To be fair the fenders are a lower output pickup and so they're not going to push the amp as hard if you were to drop a little preamp between the guitar and the amp itself you could make up for that difference and it might even sound better but forget all the haters on this post cuz you all don't have a clue every guitar has a unique personality so even if you didn't like the way this guitar sounded it has a unique voice and would prove valuable in some recording or live situation somewhere... guitars have personalities that guitar considering the amount you spent to build it and where the parts came from sounds freaking incredible and dudes will spend a ton of money to get that quack and there it is with a little bit of hype coming off of the Chinese pickups cuz they all run hot sounding like a million bucks great video good work nice intonation excellent😊
The links don't match up to the parts you show.
Do you work on viewers guitars??
yes sir
Man that guitar sounds killer, I agree I think it sounds better than the Fender 👍🎸
You need uphase markers. Paint pens for wires.
Which trem did you use? I tried look after both videos, and have not found it. I see the trems with the small blocks. Also, I haven't seen that loaded pickguard either.
I did buy two Dlaso guitars from Temu for my son and I (or maybe just me) to modify. I may keep one a SSS, but upgrade pickups, pots, bridge, and tuners. The other, I ordered a loaded HSH pickguard, but I want to replace the pickups, put a dual rail where the single coil is, and I want to use a Gilmour mod, and use push pull pots to split coils. I think I have an idea how I can wire that.
You win bro.
You should invest in a good multimeter. those HF meters can be off quite bit and they just get worse over time.
Do the strings count as a part? Nice one.;)
lol
34.5K !!!! Excellent! Best Regards and Best Wishes!
What is the name of that black little wrench you used for the tuners? I GOTTA have one of those!
In the description brother!
@@scarmyguitar Ordered, thanks, Sean👍
Another beauty!! You could turn me into a strat guy yet. Looks and sounds killer 👍🎸
Now hold on a minute, Sean, those links for the pickguard and bridge aren't the same what you're showing in the video.
Old vid they run out of stuff
A dang minute!
maybe that blue fender is equipped with 250k pots that's why it sounds muddier than your partscaster with 500k pots
That sounds hot brother! good luck!!! you don't need luck, your scarred!✊🤜
Man, that guitar sounded sweet !
Hey, I want to build a tele. Can you recommend Temu parts? Do they have beginner kits? Maybe with options to upgrade? How do I get one of your necks? Thanks.
Necks will be in stock soon. Try this kit www.amazon.com/Canadian-unfinished-Headstock-Fingerboard-Fretboard/dp/B0C1ZQJH34/ref=sr_1_5?m=AG4BLOZM7CN3W&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&qid=1705205449&s=merchant-items&sr=1-5&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.006c50ae-5d4c-4777-9bc0-4513d670b6bc
Man u a good player
arguing about camera work is a waste of time ... stop it. From assembling and working on guitars and other things, I realize how many fellows do NOT have basic hand skills with tools!
A competition to see who can put together a guitar the fastest between Brad and Mr Shawn
I bought one of those necks from you a few months ago and got to opened it up at Christmas and when I put it next to the other neck that was on the guitar that I won It was longer so I'm having my buddy rout the pocket a little about 3/16 of an inch or something so I can get the intonation right...That was very encouraging to see yours playing! I can't wait!!!
They are beautiful necks... My buddy said he wanted one I told him you wasn't making no more so he'll be glad to hear you are!
Man! That is so nice. The only thing I want to do differently in my Silvertone Strat is two Humbuckers. I a loving those single coils though! I can’t imagine making mine sound a tenth that good! I am just going to have to put two Humbuckers in that plywood. Thank you so much for sharing your experience!
Black paint by truss wheel should fix it up to the eye
Hard to compare the Temucaster shootout with RUclips audio. I have a dead heat. His audio sounds raw, more like what I'd expect to hear for a live venue. Your sound is more of a post production recording engineered sound. I think Brad's going to get some form of cancer with the laser etching & off- gassing from the headstock logo. I thought both you guys did a great job building one up from Temu parts & upgrades from higher end manufacturers. Both you guys went with tuners, Fender vs Grover, they probably price out the same. I think the Kaish $ 15 tremolo > the zinc alloy (Temu) block. You went with what looked to be the preloaded pickguard, he chose to drop a Gibson humbucker into the bridge. Honestly, the sub $ 100 Monoprice Telecaster out of the box is pretty darned close to either Temucaster. What it would lack, putting in the DIY extra efforts would get it even closer as the underdog in a partscaster 3 way.
I liked & appreciated both videos, just confirms what I thought though, the sub $ 100 Chinese guitars are on the cusp/edge of being good enough as a closer 3rd place underdog in a shootout, just to make it interesting. Maybe not a 1st stringer in a gig lineup, but a backup instrument & practice guitar it wouldn't be that much of a drop/fall off and save the night. These Temucasters, I suspect that they would hold up on stage at the local bar as a number one in a lineup. I mean who wants to take their $ 7-10K Fender/Gibson to a biker bar on US-1 for an outdoor stage in February or October in Tomoka Estates or a Cabbage Patch biker bar ? Trey Shreddings might be able to confirm that or not as the Greentree Band is a legitimate gigging band. The humidity of Central FL nights has gotta be hard on any instrument to be played, even sit between sets.
Bro, I read this title and it had me rollin'!! Temu Parts? To think you actually pulled this shit off.
Oooweee buddy that thing is sick! Tons of presence and tone out of the white temu guitar with the killer scarred neck. Those pickups are crazy!!!
Beautiful work, and generally I don't like white body guitars. But that one looks amazing (and seems to sound great).
Thank u!!!!!! What a joy to watch this budget build!!!! Lotsa regards from the UK...🎸❤️👊🏾🙂🎺🎷🎹🎶🎵🎶🎵🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸❤️
Okay, I have to admit that I’m glad as heck I’m not building ff against you two guys. I don’t think I’d like distant third. You both had such good ideas and executions that I’m envious already. I can’t decide on a winner, either. So, I’ll just steal all your best ideas (the ones I can afford, anyway) and go for it, in due course. Do have that other project getting in the way for now.
That guitar sounds amazing. That bridge pickup is nice and crunchy The Fender is definitely weaker and probably has ceramic pickups.
Man I need a scarred guitar. You made that Temu that good I bet yours is that much better!
Where can we get the scarred custom neck?
Another great job!!
Bro, you gotta be from Texas! Ha ha... Love it! God Bless Texas!
Damn nice guitar my friend.I would love to build one,but it's gonna be a minute before I got my ducks in a row.I like yall's channel alot.Daus Black
Sean you da man with gits but will go up against him on a hand wired vintage tube amp ?
No sir...he'll kill me dead before the first knob is turned!!
