I am working on a part three video that incorporates a lot of ideas from here. I have the nut, frets, strings, and lettering on the knobs all figured out.
Beautiful 🙂🙂🙂 You should go even further and install a black tusq nut... If you're not familiar with tusq, it's a man-made material that's much more slippery than graphite and it will give you more sustain and more tuning stability... It's made by the Graph Tech company and 80% of my instruments ( including my basses and acoustic guitars ) have them...
It may not have stainless frets. My assumption is based upon that it appears to be an Ultra Luxe neck due to the headstock painting and gold logo. If it is then it does have stainless frets. If not an Ultra Luxe then it does not. Hopefully that makes sense.
Here is another from the same seller. www.ebay.com/itm/334919534216?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=vnru-EDNQ9m&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=c5CMzwzcTTG&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
He labels it as an American Pro which would not have stainless frets. I have been able to find pictures of American Pro guitars with painted headstocks and gold logos. If this is the necks source then it is likely it is not stainless.
Now play "Blackened" with it! 😊
That black headstock and the darker neck look amazing👍
Thank you!
Now that is a guitar I am aiming to make myself. It just looks so sick and unique. I love it
Thank you.

I honestly didn’t think I’d like the all black but now that I’ve seen it I can’t get over how good it looks
Thanks!
Get a neck from a 1980s Fender Contemporary strat. The neck is painted black as well...
Beautiful!! U always have great gear!!
Thank you
You could even black out the fret board with some stains to make it even darker
Very happy with the rosewood fretboard. Looks very good 👍
Thanks! 👍
I love guitars/basses that are blacked out, since it’s my favorite color. I love this build!
yeaaaa now we talking
You can still go further. Black painted neck and fretboard And a black tusq nut!
Part 3 ruclips.net/user/shorts2BfjeO6i6RM?feature=share

Thank you!
Sick mate!

That is a good idea. I have had a couple guitars with the tusq nut installed. I liked it.
Im doin that with my HH jaguar build!
Part 3 ruclips.net/user/shorts2BfjeO6i6RM?feature=share
Graphtek makes nuts that are black, you should throw one of those in
In part 3 soon.
Ebony fretboard would make it darkocaster
Now all we need is an all white strat
I recently saw an all white neck.
couldve been from one of those Supreme (the skate wear brand) Strats which would be pretty cool@@guitarcollectorguy
When are you replacing the dot inlays and sidedots with black dots?
Next, unless you have already, can you do red as blood?
I am so glad you posted this. I am actually working on a Red Guitar. Difficult to do though.
try using "the worlds darkest black paint" on the body
try DP black beauty strings
That is a great idea. Did not know they existed. I ordered a couple sets. Thank you.
I wonder if it’ll get lost in a dark room
Get rid of the fretboard dot's and I'll buy it
Thank you. I appreciate the compliment.
Find a way to turn the frets from metal to black! It'll be sick
Part three will be coming out soon. I have come up with a way to modify the frets.
I an trying to make that myself as well😢 but its hard
should have left the all blonde neck
I am sorry. Do not watch Part 3.
Do you know where I can get a neck like that with stainless steel frets?

Try some blacker knobs
There is a part 2 to the video with a Part 3 coming out soon - ruclips.net/user/shortsORXFilIE84Y?si=HII7bLvzcvkB-9Yw
What if you painted the inlays black?
That and a black nut may be the next video. :)
What pickups are those bro?
But i like first one
I am sorry. It is going to go even further in part 3 unfortunately. I am having fun with the feedback from viewers.
That looks way more black. Nigel Tufnel : It's like, how much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more black.
None more black!
Paint the fret board black
Here is part 2. Part 3 coming soon - ruclips.net/user/shortsORXFilIE84Y?si=cpoRzIyzkBZUbjWF
