or to quote the late guitar GOD edward lodewijk van halen: I didnt have the money and the guitar that i wanted to play did not exsist The body cost me 50$ and the neck cost me 80$
Simply stunning! Thank you for that... I will take 10 perfectly placed notes from David on that beautiful strat over 100 notes from anyone else. He is and ALWAYS was, instantly recognizable...
Had the privilege of seeing Mr. G himself perform that Comfortably Numb solo on Blackie backlit by a half halo projected around him as he was standing on the Wall at the London Pink Floyd Wall concerts at Earl's Court in 1980. Not a bad rendition by MCG here !
@@neilaspin008 So your saying when he played the second solo of Comfortably Numb in this video that what your hearing is David Gilmour and not the guy that built the guitar. If that's what your saying no offense but you surely need to either get your hearing checked or go listen to The Wall studio album Comfortably Numb a few times because what you hear in this video is 100% the guy that built the guitar and Not David Gilmour. I have listened to the studio track of Comfortably Numb probably over a thousand times changing, adjusting, and fine tuning my guitar playing to sound closer to Gilmour, and I can Guarantee you that what your hearing on that second solo is not David Gilmour. The only time you start hearing David Gilmour's playing is at the end at about the 9:12 mark.
IMO it would be unnecessary, because there already are lots of replicas and even custom shop models of it. Guitars like Frusciante Strat or Billie Joe's "Blue" etc. are much better to make videos since you can't find good replicas of them
Dude ur channel needs to go viral, the craftsmanship alone is insane and ur attention to detail is amazing love to watch you work also love to see these baby's come to life.
This was amazing. I have been girding my loins to build a relicced replica of one of my heroes, binge-watching guitar builds and trying to decide which one to choose for my first. Thanks for the inspiration.
A Dean from hell already exists, even as a production model. Sure, it would be interesting, but not AS interesting. Cliff's Rick however, is a more "exclusive" and/or rare piece of music
Duncan's Vlogs and Challenges it was given to him by one of jimis roadies. It wasn’t anything jimi played just something they had laying around for parts. And that mirror puck guard dweezil put on it later is hideous!
@@taylorgrant23 I much preferred it with the tortoiseshell pickguard, so much so that I built my own replica of it. Nowhere near the quality of these one though!
Thanks for sharing your passion....I really dig recreating masterpieces like this. I have made several my self from other artists and they are incredibly satisfying to play. I found I can make these instruments for a fraction of what Fender is asking, and in the end they are better. Absolutely no compromises, and the attention to set up boarders on total perfection. Its an inspiration to work on and create.
Thank you for all of the detail. This is an amazing build to watch and exactly the information I needed. I'm just building the loaded pickguard for now. The Fender Fat 50's neck pup is getting nearly impossible to find by itself. I wish Fender still sold their pick-ups individually like they used to. Ended up finding a Fender 59 (I hope. If the Ebay gods have smiled) instead until I can get the Fat 50. It's described as being wound with the same type of wire that I could see and has a similar impedance range. Won't sound the same, but it should be close enough for my goofy ass. I already have the SSL-5 and the Custom Shop 69 mid. Now, I'm debating on whether or not to duplicate the wired-in toggle or just get the Obsidian pre-wired kit. I'm not a purist, I'm just trying for a similar sound in a DIY. Thanks again.
I have literally watched this and the other replica rebuilds dozens of times. Amazing work. Is there any chance you could do a tips/tricks video to help with the relicing techniques you use? I want to do a James Jamerson PBass one day and looking for some ideas!
18 hours for this is lightning fast. On top of it, it looks better and has more attention to detail put in it then every Fender custom shop guitar I have seen. Particularly the finish relicing often looks really bad and cheap on those in my eyes.
Very nice labor of love and special attention to detail. Probably better than the 2 Custom Shop Gilmour Strat’s I own. Would be interested in talking about purchasing one of these.
The fact you rolled into the solo, bro, just made this the most satisfying video ever lol.
Eric Clapton "The Fool" SG would be great to see in the future!
Fuck. Yes.
They has a replica "The Fool" guitar for auction on an episode of Auction Kings.
next episode: David Gilmour's fingers replica
He made a video about that...
and then a whole david gilmour replica
Toni Iommi fingertips exact replica
😂😂
Imagine the damage you could do if you worked for fender custom shop :0
Diego Lira the damage would be mostly to my bank account 😳
Adrian Pool I think so too :P
Brain Damage
Yeah damage to the wallets
or to quote the late guitar GOD edward lodewijk van halen: I didnt have the money and the guitar that i wanted to play did not exsist
The body cost me 50$ and the neck cost me 80$
Man I thought I was obsessive compulsive with attention to detail. This was just phenomenal. Excellent job. Love Gilmour, love the Black Strat!
Jimmy Page's #2 Les Paul with all the wiring
Was hoping the “play test” was going to be the final solo. That was a super cool build, and a very well timed video.
Simply stunning!
Thank you for that...

That looked to me like he played along, but the audio was still Gilmour.
Blackie was Clapton's name for his guitar m8, believe the only named guitar DG had was a Tele called the Workman
@@neilaspin008 That's a massive compliment
Nobody believes you.

Fantastic job man! you should send this guitar to Mr Gilmour since he's sold all his originals for charity
Except for the beat up Telecaster.
It's such a fake baby boomers thing to do.
Rory Galagher strat replica would be legendary!
IMO it would be unnecessary, because there already are lots of replicas and even custom shop models of it. Guitars like Frusciante Strat or Billie Joe's "Blue" etc. are much better to make videos since you can't find good replicas of them
We love Rory Gallagher ✌️
Yeah ultra heavy relic lml
@@giannoncene the Custom Shop Rory Gallagher Strat is an insult to his legacy.
The relicing for Rory's Strat would prove to be impossible to successfully replicated IMO
I'm glad you put the video back up...my neck is done and being shipped back me.
I'd love to see Syd's mirrored Esquire.
Control yourself.
@@Gma7788 annoying shit.

The transition into the last comfortably numb solo was so sick
Man if you have time you should consider dimebag's dean from hell or cliff burton's Rickenbacker 4001
Oh yes Cliff's Rick would be a dream to see remade
A Dean from hell already exists, even as a production model. Sure, it would be interesting, but not AS interesting.
Cliff's Rick however, is a more "exclusive" and/or rare piece of music
Sorry i meant the original dean that dimebag used, the relic one with the KISS sticker and everything
Yes! Cliff Burton’s Rickenbacker bass is great idea.
Cliff’s is one of the most iconic 4001s there is, that would be awesome to see. The mods he did to it are very interesting.
Frank Zappa guitar, but the one that Jimi Hendrix gave to him with a mirror pickguard that'll look so cool!
Amanda Brothers Supposedly, Hendrix never had it. It was just some story made up by Frank.
Duncan's Vlogs and Challenges it was given to him by one of jimis roadies. It wasn’t anything jimi played just something they had laying around for parts. And that mirror puck guard dweezil put on it later is hideous!
Jimi never played the guitar Zappa has.
@@taylorgrant23 I much preferred it with the tortoiseshell pickguard, so much so that I built my own replica of it. Nowhere near the quality of these one though!
Just loved this! Especially the way you transitioned into the lead solo on one of my favorite songs. Great job!!
I am a simple man. I see MCG upload, I click and like.
What a level of craftsmanship
So glad this video has been re uploaded.
Now i can watch it over and over until my replica is finished!
Very cool project. One of the greatest bands, guitarists, and guitars of all time. Thanks for sharing!
The music synched so you directly play the solo at the end is really nice!!
What a fabulous video, Congratulations on all your hard work & efforts and thanks for sharing it all with us. AWESOME!
Really reallly nice. A true artisan at work!
STUNNING

Most likely one of the best relic jobs I’ve seen on here. Really I mean like WOW!
How am I just learning about this channel! Art and a history lesson. Awesome video and great job on the build.
Lenny replica would be great !
Yavuz çetini yapsın ya
Absolutely brilliant build. Im going to build once for my sisters birthday, we are both tremendous Floyd/Gilmour fans. Thank you for the inspiration.
The solo with the video.. just genius 👏🏻
Peter Green's Hallowed 59 Les Paul with out of phase HB's. RIP to the legend of tone.
Just WOW! Huge respect for your skills from the Czech republic, man!
Your relic work is worthy of the Fender Custom Shop, well done sir!
And what about mine?
It’s better than fenders custom shop by a mile.
Jimi Hendrix Monterey POP Strat

Arm the homeless replica please!!!
Arm the homeless while you're at it.
@@Artyom751 lol yet tom himself wants to ban guns
@@maxwellwinter2114 lets get the pitchforks and torches then 😂
g. koch 🤣
@@maxwellwinter2114 ahahaha he's so ironic
such a cool video, great transition into the solo
I wish I could build guitars like this ..truly fun to watch!!
been waiting for this build for a long time, love it
please do Steve Vai's evo next!
Awesome work! I loved the attention to detail.
My favorite build....bloody nice
I prefer this kind of video... Previous ones were sooo fast. Now we can admire better your attention to details... 😲
Very beautiful result!!! A++
Wow absolutely incredible job!
What a video. Loved watching this. Top work
you HAVE to make a re-creation of the smashing pumpkins Billy Corgan "gish" Stratocaster
Kramer 5150 next? That would be awesome. Great replicas as always man! Cheers ;)
He's done one.
@@CajunSmack he has?? I couldn't find it..just the OG franky.
@@me-bk9er Yep. If you go to his FB page, there are still pics of it. Scroll back to Sept. 2015.
Beautiful work, very inspiring!
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY EPIC. WELL DONE, BRAVO SIR 🙏🙏👍👍🤘🤘👏👏💖💖🎶
Love to see a video where you talk about your process
What a amazing solo!!
I admire your dedication. Looks really, really good.
Cool, I felt the excitement of clicking on this video twice as a new thing
Will love to see a Blackmore 70s Strat réplica!!!! Great work!!
Received mine today 😁 it plays and looks amazing. Thx Dillon for this piece of art 🎸
Awesome work and attention to detail.
Thanks for making this videos they make me feel so happy
best relics and builds on the net dude, hands down, you rock!
you my friend are a winner. great editing job.
Another great video. Love the detail you put in to your guitars and how much you show of your process.
These videos are always enjoyable!
Résultat somptueux côté esthétique et sonore Bravo Monsieur
This is class. Brilliant work.
The guitar he made was amazing and his playing was amazing.
That’s so cool. Fantastic guitar
Nice MCG, thanks for sharing.
Wow! Dude!!
Nice riff too!
Looks and sounds fantastic
If i’m not wrong, the black strat originally had a 3-way switch instead of 5-way, thus having the mini-toggle switch for the neck pickup
Wow, that looks like the custom shop fender replica..amazing!
This video is amazing. Great attention to detail and very skillful. I only wish I had the patience and skill to do this. Great job!.
OMG!!! Great job man!!!!
I have literally watched this and the other replica rebuilds dozens of times. Amazing work. Is there any chance you could do a tips/tricks video to help with the relicing techniques you use? I want to do a James Jamerson PBass one day and looking for some ideas!
Blending switch!!! Strat gonna have Tele hybrid sounds.. Nice🤘
Wow, nice work! 👌Can't wait for the Hentor Sportscaster replica.
18 hours for this is lightning fast. On top of it, it looks better and has more attention to detail put in it then every Fender custom shop guitar I have seen.
Particularly the finish relicing often looks really bad and cheap on those in my eyes.
Dude you nailed the look!
Very nice!!!!! is a elot of work!
Very nice labor of love and special attention to detail. Probably better than the 2 Custom Shop Gilmour Strat’s I own. Would be interested in talking about purchasing one of these.
Such a great replica
Amazing job and great solo too 👍
10/10 for production!
Fantastic work great guitar brother. Looks and sounds awesome! Make me one !,,
Drooling!!! Great playing too :D
Beautiful work as usual!! Would love to see you build DG's white strat
Awesome work!!!
what an incredible job brother..
looks amazing. nice playing too
Lock awesome dude and your playing is good to
Good job man! That looks great.
Magnificent ! It's my dream, I want oneeeeee
Can you do a replica of Billie Joe Armstrong’s “Blue” 1991 Stratocaster
He already was gonna do replica of blue, he’s just waiting for someone to buy one, also he got that guitar wayyyyyyy before 91
Please enter a name. I know I would like to see a replica of it. It sounded different
Tyler Combs Yeah, they seem like good guitars though, they kinda have a 50s 60s style to them
the hard part would be getting the stickers
Someone makes replicas of every set Billie has had on Blue. You can find him on Reverb.com or Etsy.
Awesome video, great edit as well to come in on the solo , 👊🏻
Gave the video a like soon after hearing you guys choose Run Like Hell. Not because I'm a fan of the song, but it just feels so right.
You have done an amazing job building a David Gilmore strat replica it would be so incredible if u did a mick mars fender strat replica
I seriously need this guitar
Magnificent!
You are a true artist
