That Jack tightener looks cool
Brad Angove has some really good videos on painting guitars with rattle cans.
Brad Angove has some excellent rattle can guitar painting videos.
Hey Philip, when you do the paint project, don't make my mistake. I did one project with Rust-Oleum spray paint, and tried using stew Mac clear. I learned Rust-Oleum is enamel and stewmac clear was lacquer. Ate the paint... Peck
The Wilkinson kits on Stewmac are amazingly good.
Great ideas for my wife and kids, thank you. Im looking forward to the build and would love a mod follow up. Thanks as always Phil. Happy Thanksgiving, Me and My household are Thankful for all the service men and women that serve this country in the armed forces so THANK YOU.
The 2 King Boost pedal kit was a nice kit to do. I just finished it and will be posting the next video of the build within the next couple days
That one's such a fun build! Looking forward to the video.
I like the message to build skills and showing some of the kits and tools recommended.
The Tele kit is the same price as a Squier or more than a Harley Benton ? Add the paint and it's more !!! The rest is pretty reasonable especially the King of Tone pedal kit. Thanks Phil !!!
We were talking about kits to help learn soldering in chat of the last live stream! Perfect timing! And if I read that Sweetwater guarantee correctly anything that breaks or wears out will be replaced? I wear out their strings all time. Lol.
Built my first t style guitar last year from Stew Mac. Absolutely loved putting it together! Paint scheme to wiring was a learning experience and now it’s my fav guitar. Looking forward to maybe trying something else.
Very cool list. I've built about 10 pedals...I could really use that pedal tool set.
Great idea for a video. Can;t wait fot the build!
Phil, I recently did a Colortone rattle can job on a Tele Deluxe. Get a 3 pack of those Krylon trigger sprayers that snap onto the top of the can. I found them on Amazon. For a first time nitro finish, it turned out great and those trigger sprayers made all the difference.
I did a Tele build also and used lacquer spray. It came out pretty good for my first build.
I paint with my fingers
Wish I had read this before I did a nitro finish on a les paul style I got. I thought those nozzles were just a gimmicky type thing
Awesome! We've also got a series on getting the best results with aerosol finishing. Lots of tips in here that might help avoid any unnecessary headaches. ruclips.net/video/ntsiNsaaNHM/видео.html
The Stew Mac book taught me all I know to have the confidence to tweak my own axe. I think I have edition 2? Thanks for the suggestions!
This is so great to hear. Rock on!
Nice idea for a list phil. Cant wait to see the build
Perfect! Love this.
I just built a kit guitar myself and really enjoyed doing it; I actually built the whole thing on a kitchen table😁. I even fully documented it, even the mistakes, the biggest mistake fitting the pickups wrong. I only realised when I was comparing the size of the body to another guitar. My tip is don't rush it. I found it wasn't easy to figure out which screws to use; I just got a bag of screws with no idea where they go.
Great gift ideas Phillip!
Phil, thanks for this! I was planning on building a traveler for my next guitar, and that T-style might just be the ideal starting point. Stew Mac must LOVE you!
Watch out with the multi point output jacks when using the in an old Duo Sonic where it inserts into the guard. They grab so firm that it can pull the one guard screw loose from the body.
thanks for the video, phil. some really neat tools in here.
i did my first parts caster last year and did a spray can lacquer finish. It was such a good experience and learned a ton!
Way to go!!! 🎸
Great video. I like how you want people to be able to do at minimum the basics as for as repairs and maintenance.
I have had great luck with StewMac tools that are specifically designed for guitar wirk. I've tried other brands but most fall short. I'm firmly in the buy a tool once camp.
Looking forward to the related videos to this. Great job.
I highly recommend the pedal kits. A of fun and sound great!!
Can always use this stuff! 🎸👍
This is a great idea for a video! Gifts building skills instead of just gifts to get stuff. I just might order myself a kit guitar also
The Treble bleed, Output jack is a must upgrade. Great set of nut files is missing from your list. Merry Christmas.
I cant wait to see this build. I would love to see some mods of course. Once you get something there's always more you want to do. 😆 im interested about the finish, and of course how well the frets come out of the store.
Great video Phil
HAPPY THANKSGIVING Phil
I have the Bullet jack tightener. It's kind of like AC/DC in that they both only do one thing, but they do it perfectly.
I remember watching the TSC. You need the countdown timer tho.
Having built part of an amp and seeing how stomp boxes are built I think it's just cheaper to buy off the shelf stuff rather than trying to copy stuff that's already been copied.
You can’t beat the Stew Mac fret dressing file. I’ve tried a bunch of others and that is one tool that has to come from SM!
I've built both the Ghost Drive and the Two Kings. Instructions are pretty good. Most of the tools in the builder kit are available at Lowe's/Home Depot. A good soldering iron and electronics solder and flush wire cutters are probably the only basic tools that the average person doesn't already have. The PC board holder is really worth it for building that type of project, but you can get the exact same tool, minus the Stew Mac logo, on Amazon for less money.
I really want to build a Strat or offset kit, however Stew Mac doesn't have a single left-handed kit on their site.
Thank you, Phil this is an awesome idea… I’ve been toying with the idea of doing a kit bass and then dropping some fat Aguilar pickups into it and staining it with a honey colored stain
I built my first guitar last year and it was an enjoyable experience , I'm definitely going to do more.
Sweet! What'd ya build?
@@stewmac I built a Tele , but I upgraded the parts and pickups. It was a Christmas gift and I'm going to ask my wife for another one 😉 I'm thinking about an SG or Warlock style this time!✌️
Happy Thanksgiving to the McKnight family!
Have a lot fewer options here in the UK. Stewmac looks great though. I've used Northwest Guitars in the UK as they have a good selection of Music Nomad stuff.
Madinter carries a huge list of our products in Europe. Might be worth checking out!
I have the mini tele kit that I'm building right now :-) So cool.
Awesome! Enjoy the build. 🎸
does anyone know about the brand sawtooth? I have never heard of them and just saw they have a 50% sale. I am very sceptic tho
I've seen them recently on Amazon, but have no idea. I bought a bullet tele, the switch crapped out pretty quickly, so i replaced the switch and potts. I was nervous about it, but got it done. The parts were about 30 bucks, and the soldering iron was around 20. Ive learned alot about set up and basic guitar wiring for pretty cheap. Maybe 50% off could allow you to mod it of it aint that great. Good luck
Phil, can you show how to access 335 style electronic so I can put a treble bleed on it. The semi hollow seems daunting to mess up
Hey! I'm located in Phoenix Arizona and is need of a luthier. Do you have anyone you recommend? Thanks in advance
oh cool Phil! Will you also mod the December kit by painting the headstock too? Thanks for sharing this!
Hey Phil, I would really like to see a video where you put together a budget kit that would work well for setups and fret work. Most of us wouldn't be using these tools enough for them to wear out, we just need things that are easy to use and work well, if they wear out quickly or don't last that's not really a problem. Music Nomad has a precision setup kit that mostly consists of instructions and various guages, it's $60 and I'm sure it's high quality but the same results could be achieved with much less expensive items. I've never used guages to set up my guitars, I just go by feel and sight but I'm curious to see if a system like the Music Nomad one would work better. I'd be even more interested in an inexpensive fret work kit. I'm intimidated to try and do fret work but with an inexpensive kit and step by step instructions I would give it a shot.
Yes, mods for the Tele kit! I bought the kit, haven't built it yet. And a few hardware pieces feel really cheap. I would love suggestions for mods.
The string spreaders don't work as well with locking tuners. They are still a good add to your guitar mtce kit. Very useful.
I had a problem with a pad on the board and no matter what I couldn't get my new 22ga wire to solder shinny. A solid and stranded sets of Amazon wire insulation melting off and then getting some wire from Antique Electronics solved the heat issue but not the tinning with non lead solder. Finally have the option of non lead for my new Epi mods and lead for old amp and vintage guitar repair by going with 20ga stranded heat resistant auto primary wire from Napa that is not tinned giving me the choice of non Kester or lead. Hope this helps somebody
I have been "building my own pedal" for a few years now...
Haha! Feel free to reach out to us if you need any help or tips!
Watch Brad Angove’s channel. Tons of painting guitars using different methods including rattle cans.
Dear Phillip - Please permit another question - Which is the BEST IMPORT FENDER Stratocaster to buy ? I want it to feel like a Rolls Royce and stay under 1000 $. You know what I mean right ? When I play my 1000 $ Ibanez, my 2500 $ Gibson LP, or a Yamaha Revstar they all feel so wonderful - but when I pick up my 1986 Kramer Liberty Anniversary Edition (white) then I feel that I am playing a Rolls Royce... just another level up .......... so that's what I am looking for, for my next Stratocaster (SSS pickup config) purchase. WHAT do you recommend -- PLEASE ???
Dear Phillip - I have this wonderful YAMAHA PACIFICA 612V 2FM which for the world I am UNABLE to set up correctly !!! The Low E-String always buzzez a LOT. Two guitar techies have tried to set it up but have also failed... it's unplayable at best... WHAT is the secret to setting up those "nasty" Yamaha "Wilkinson" (semi proprietary) wierd bridges correctly ????? Please help !!!!!
ADDENDUM - besides the 2K to 5K expensive guitars, EVEN ALL my Harley Benton SG, HB35 Plus Lemon (335 copy), Fusion-III HSH EB FCB, S-620 TB Rock Series... They ALL came delivered setup absolutely PERFECT - NO buzzing notes etc... I mean WHAT is going on ?... PLEASE - tell us the secret , SHOW US the secret to setting that Yamaha monster up correctly and make those Buzzing (especially low 4,5,6 strings) go away.... It's driving me crazy ... it's driving my guitar techies even more crazy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Phil. You were a bass player for your first 10 years correct? Why do we never see basses or bass playing in your videos? Would love to see more.
10 bucks for treble bleed? Wow
Yeah, the parts costs a few cents and they charge you 10 bucks for soldering them together.😄 But they write in the description which values they use, so you can easily do this yourself.
? Did I see you use the clamp? It looks strange?
You are DIY genius.
Hey Phil! If you're looking for rattlecan finish advice, I recommend Brad Angove- fellow RUclipsr, and Canadian paint wizard. Check him out. Can't wait for the build!
