Both great guitars! Chris's looks great, as expected, but blown away by Guillaume's!! I definitely love the single cut with the Bigsby!! Those MojoTone pickups sound great too! Was looking to upgrade the pickups in my TE-90 QM HH and those would be perfect!!! Guillaume for the win!!
Wonderful guitars, congratulations to both of you, I vote for the look of Guillaume's guitar, and for the sound of Kris's guitar. You are both winners.
I'M NO JUDGEY TYPE PERSON BY FAR....but that Single-Cut with the Bigsby and relicing is AWESOME !!!!! Congrads to both for excellent guitars !!!!! ROCK ON GUYS !!!!! And I'd have to agree that the 1st one is SPECIAL INDEED !!!!! Nicely done guys !!! ENJOY THE FRUITS OF YOUR LABOR !!!
Both looked and sounded amazing! I really like both, but I think I would have to take home Kris', on account of those P90s sounding sooo sweet. Guillaume's had the best look and vibe though. Sorry Kris, but I think you should have done the blue on bottom with the gold on top. Still though, both were really beautiful sounding and looking. Great job you two!
8:24, Hey Kris, (As I'm sure you are aware) There are a few options for installing vintage style tuners on a 10mm pre-drilled hole. Gotoh has a product called "Gotoh 10mm Conversion Bushing For Gotoh Sd90 And Sd91 Series Tuning Machines". And, I recently saw a video where Mike Adams (Puisheen) discussed installing Gotoh vintage tuners on his American Pro II Jazzmaster. He answered my curiosity in the comments that he was using "StewMac 10.5mm Round Conversion Bushings". There are, of course, other, more complicated ways... The Gotohs you've used are perfectly fine but I personally despise the Fender short post tuners. Nothing beats a vintage tuner with 4, 5 or even 6 neat wraps on the plain strings. Good luck. You get my vote for this build...
I would take both home. Guillaume's guitar is great. The tone is outstanding and the red with relic is perfect for it. I am not a fan of "fake" relic but it works on this one. I do like the offset with gold and blue though and it to sounds great. Not enough offset guitars in use out there.
Nice, that orange/red looks cool. Think the JA60 is the nicest kit. I used kluson style tuners on mine. Even conversionbushings are too small for the holes. That blue with black scratchplate and pickups look really cool. I might participate next year (assuming there will be a ‘23 edition)
Wooooow a Gibsouillaume Holy ... 😄.....lololoooool ich weiß ja nicht ob ihr's schon gemerkt habt aber ihr habt zwei gitarren gebaut die soundtechnisch perfekt zusammen passen 😄😄😄👏👏👏👏. Ich hab absolut NULL ahnung wie ihr das geschafft habt, Hut ab 💥
Well guys, those two guitars are so different that I will take both of them for my collection!!! Really, really, really gorgeous guitars and I know what I’m talkin’ my friends... I have 35 guitars at home... great job my friends....
I love the Pelham blue over gold, and the carvings make it really special! I have to go with Guillaume's axe though, because, I mean, a Bigsby on an LP-style guitar is the best (plus I put one on my entry to the challenge, too 😬)! The Mojotone pickups sound brilliant. Great job to both of you!
kris, the open classic style tuners yes, come with the 8.5 bushings, but you can buy a 10 mm bushing and make it work on any hole ;) both guitars, awesome! which I take home? both ;) great, guys
That gold and blue ist really tasty. Also dig the carvings - very creative. Great job Kris! It is possible to fit the vintage tuners in with the appropriate adapter bushings if I remember it correctly.
Thanks a lot Sandun! Those adapter bushings are great, they don't work here though. The holes on these are a bit too wide so those adapters just fall out, haha! It's fine though, I've grown to love these Gotohs a lot! Cheers //Kris
Both look great guys! cool guitars! be proud! Kris, someone probably already mentioned this but you can get 10mm conversion bushings for 8mm vintage tuners on Ebay for example. Great video! oh and I would take both guitars if I could...lol..yes it's a cop out. I couldn't decide.
I am not so much into relic ( but call all the tooling marks on my HB DIY exactly that 😉). I would take them both and rip out those wonderful pickups, I need them in mine 😅 If I should choose one of them, I would say that G’s guitar had the best sound in this clip.
Wow this a tough call!! Kris is a wizard and Jedi Master Builder, Guil is like the rest of us. Have to give it to Gui for mojo and style, Kris edged him on tone! Well done both of you! Really proud of Guil for stepping up his game! 😊👍
Both did great jobs! Easily custom shop type work. Those high end shops would probably charge for 1000-2000 for that type of work. To be objective both did a great job on the aging process but Guillaume had the edge. Kris' carvings were too much for me on his concept. I bet those carvings would be great on a "fancy" looking type build. Those dots reminded me of a Fano guitar. Overall good job to both!
it is tru G, the Barocsi bar of expectation/ BARocsi of expectation is a little higher,...but dang son im loving the LP-G edition/...i got Liquid Petroleum Gear acquisition syndrome RN:)🤘
2 Nice builds and again good playing! Especially liked the Duality Lick 🙂2 great guitars you put together as good as you can, I want to call it a draw. (I also may need a JA-Type guitar now)
Applause to you both! I like Guillaume's for looks me Kris's tone was my favorite. I've built a Warmoth, Even not painting it, it was a lot of work. So to see you guys spraying, I give a lot of respect. People who haven't built one don't know the nerves and work.
3:46 into the video and I can say that Guillaume had won, hands down. Because sympathy for the underdog and all that jazz. And now, back to the show :D
Both have great aging jobs, but I’m going with G for slapping a Bigsby on his (I did that to my old 90s SG as soon as I could afford it)… not a fan of offsets that omit the floating trem (looks like it came that way in the kit.) My old janky painting setup from a long while ago involved my mother’s clothes drying line in the backyard, a broken metal clothes hanger (the hook went through the hole in the neck pocket of the strat body I was using. and after the sanding fill (I stripped and sanded a bad Ice Blue finish off the body first), followed by little half sized cans of Testors spray laquer because I wanted it to be British Racing Green and places like StewMac didn’t ANY green finishes at the time! Then clear coat over with another brand of lacquer (which I later learned was a big no-no, thankfully I didn’t have any bad reactions between the two lacquers.) It came out okay, looked a little more like a worn Gibson finish because I wasn’t able to buff it to a sheen by hand (kudos to the people that buff guitars using those giant buffing wheels, it’s not easy.) I eventually sold it to fund my Jaguar.
It can"t have a loser. Both guitars are awesome. If Ia really have to pick one, it would be the single cut, for the bigsby and the color. I just have one question, If you have a concert, will you pick it or not ?
Both guitars are great, the DIY Challenge is awesome. But I don't really understand the trend of aged guitars, they get old by themselves when you have and play them long enough. I still remember the sad moment when I accidentally bumped a chip of paint off my first guitar. The agony! New and shiny is way more beautiful imo.
Both great guitars, but Guillaume managed to squeeze the win for me. Just barely though. Can't wait to finish my kit (hopefully in time for the deadline)
Hello from the centre of Canada. The workmanship on both guitars is top-notch! Great work, guys! I do prefer one style over the other, but I'll call it a draw.
Just this weekend I did my first refin on my Danelectro and...well let's just say I relate greatly to Guillaume in this video. I can see every mistake & it definitely looks like it was done in a shed by a drunk (it was). But it still plays great, sounds, great, feels great (big victory), and looks more its self than it did before. And therefore I love it more than I did.
Personally I wouldn't want either one of them because y'all built them to your taste 🤷 props to the pickups 👍 and to you guys for your time and effort they are both Beyond unique great job guys✊😎🤙
I’d definetely take Kris' JA .. this is purely because of colour choice though! I am just a sucker for blue and gold combinations. With everything else I actually like Guillaumes better 🫢🫣
As I already said (because I freakin' KNEW!!!) under Kris' building video part 1, his guitar is absolutely AWESOME. Gonna give the winj to Guillaume, though, because of the "lower set of skills" he has and the outcome of his project. Don't get me wrong, I love both guitars, but Kris, you got way more experience and so G was the "underdog"....
Soundwise, I would stay with Kris' one. But ai need to admit that Gillaume's guitar visual looks better!! It is a pity he put the Bigsby and not use it at all at the sound test! 😅
The LP sounds ugly and dull and looks real 'fake' junk, while the Jazzy blue sounds quite gracious and refined in playing clean. And looks a bit more decent too.
Respect to Kris... but! Guillaume FTW! That single cut with Bigsby is simply stunning and sounds fantastic. Great job guys👌
Both great guitars! Chris's looks great, as expected, but blown away by Guillaume's!! I definitely love the single cut with the Bigsby!! Those MojoTone pickups sound great too! Was looking to upgrade the pickups in my TE-90 QM HH and those would be perfect!!! Guillaume for the win!!
The red one wins for me 😊
Wonderful guitars, congratulations to both of you, I vote for the look of Guillaume's guitar, and for the sound of Kris's guitar. You are both winners.
man both of these guitars look incredible
I would pay good money for that jazzmaster oh my god
I'M NO JUDGEY TYPE PERSON BY FAR....but that Single-Cut with the Bigsby and relicing is AWESOME !!!!! Congrads to both for excellent guitars !!!!! ROCK ON GUYS !!!!! And I'd have to agree that the 1st one is SPECIAL INDEED !!!!! Nicely done guys !!! ENJOY THE FRUITS OF YOUR LABOR !!!
Both looked and sounded amazing! I really like both, but I think I would have to take home Kris', on account of those P90s sounding sooo sweet. Guillaume's had the best look and vibe though. Sorry Kris, but I think you should have done the blue on bottom with the gold on top. Still though, both were really beautiful sounding and looking. Great job you two!
Love both. Have to give challenge to Guillaume. Strictly for how it turned out especially with his newbness. Great jobs on both
I’m not into Bigsby or LP’s but i would by Guillaume’s guitar asap!
Obviously he won by far!!!
And that for a rooky!
I say: GT(tribute)one
🤗
What a close match , France defeats Hungary by a Bigsby ! 🎉🎊🎉 and a funky G
But what if G never uses the Bigsby? Is that still an advantage over the P90 powerhorse? 😅 //Kris
@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses floating trem > hardtail
Ery time in my book, I’m a full floater
The two-tone red/orange combo with the cream binding on Guillaume's guitar is chef's kiss swish.
(Kris' colour combo is also beautiful, by the way, but as the proud owner of an orange guitar, I'm biased. Also, I'm making a pink Strat.)
Killer axes dudes!
Thanks a lot, it was a lot of work but we both love our guitars so it was 100% worth it. Cheers //Kris

The BaroMaster, cause it would be my First offset🤘💜✌🎸
In my personal opinion, offset beats bigsby. Win for Kris

That blue with black scratchplate and pickups look really cool. I might participate next year (assuming there will be a ‘23 edition)
Guillaume's, for me 😍 love everything, minus the bigsby. It sounds epic.
I want both. They both great in their style... good job!

Thank you so much! We really appreciate your words!! 🙌 Cheers //Kris
Which I would take home? Both! Great job!
I have to say the "G" Sounds are awesome 😀💜
Wow ! Tu t'es gavé Guillaume !
Impressionnant !
Both are great, congrats to both of You!
I would be very pleased to own either guitars you guy’s built! I think both are amazing!!
For me Guillaume win this time. Kris you’ve done a really good job too!

Both look awesome
Both guitars are stellar and ye can be very proud. Look out Fender and Gibson 👍🏼
They both look awesome!
That gold and blue ist really tasty. Also dig the carvings - very creative. Great job Kris! It is possible to fit the vintage tuners in with the appropriate adapter bushings if I remember it correctly.

Both are cool, no question. Not a fan of relics, but these look good. I honestly cannot decide.
Strangely, I really dislike P90s in the neck position.
Both did great jobs! Easily custom shop type work. Those high end shops would probably charge for 1000-2000 for that type of work.
To be objective both did a great job on the aging process but Guillaume had the edge. Kris' carvings were too much for me on his concept. I bet those carvings would be great on a "fancy" looking type build. Those dots reminded me of a Fano guitar.

😳🤯👏👏👏👏🎸🎸😍
it is tru G, the Barocsi bar of expectation/ BARocsi of expectation is a little higher,...but dang son im loving the LP-G edition/...i got Liquid Petroleum Gear acquisition syndrome RN:)🤘
I vote for G but both guitars looks awesome!
I can live with that. 😂 Thanks man, glad you like them! //Kris
2 Nice builds and again good playing! Especially liked the Duality Lick 🙂2 great guitars you put together as good as you can, I want to call it a draw. (I also may need a JA-Type guitar now)
Both the guitars are really cool but man, Guillaume's one has got some serious serious mojo to it!
Right? It's like Jared James Nichols' Old Red. I love it! //Kris
Love them both! Awesome one-off creations, gentlemen 🤘🏻🤘🏻
G for the ambition
Kris for the execution
But you both now have one guitar more than you started with, so you both won.
I don't dare to pick a winner because I am afraid of Max Carlisle's missile 😅
Next year I am in - with a lefty-kit (pleeeeeease) !!!
Awesome guys :D
I would take the single cut home, not because I think it is made better, but because I dislike the offset shape and P90s in the neck position.
Applause to you both! I like Guillaume's for looks me Kris's tone was my favorite. I've built a Warmoth, Even not painting it, it was a lot of work. So to see you guys spraying, I give a lot of respect. People who haven't built one don't know the nerves and work.
For what it's worth, StewMac put online an incredibly detailed aerosol painting tutorial. Check it out guys !
Such a wonderful melody at the end. Is this an actual track, or were you just jamming around?
Thanks so much Dan! It’s just us noodling. So glad you liked it! 🙏
3:46 into the video and I can say that Guillaume had won, hands down. Because sympathy for the underdog and all that jazz.
And now, back to the show :D
love both - really feel the offset a bit more because I build an JA myself this year, but fcs - those Relic Jobs 🔥
Thanks a lot!! Looking forward to seeing your offset! Cheers //Kris
Both have great aging jobs, but I’m going with G for slapping a Bigsby on his (I did that to my old 90s SG as soon as I could afford it)… not a fan of offsets that omit the floating trem (looks like it came that way in the kit.)

I just have one question, If you have a concert, will you pick it or not ?
I've got to say for a first build that relic single cut looks amazing, great job Guillaume.
Both guitars are great, the DIY Challenge is awesome. But I don't really understand the trend of aged guitars, they get old by themselves when you have and play them long enough. I still remember the sad moment when I accidentally bumped a chip of paint off my first guitar. The agony! New and shiny is way more beautiful imo.
That offset is dope
Cheers, thanks a lot! //Kris
Both great guitars, but Guillaume managed to squeeze the win for me. Just barely though. Can't wait to finish my kit (hopefully in time for the deadline)
When he pulled out that single cut I thought he was messing with us by showing us a Gibson. Good job.
Both gorgeous! I'm glad you aren't in the challenge! (For selfish reasons) 😇
Guillaume's guitar is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Btw 16:16 was that Duality?
Beide sind ganz eigen und super geworden, wow! 😎👍🏻 Gratuliere euch beiden, sehr motivierend/inspirierend!
get some ash, rub it in the weatherchecking, it'll make it more visible ;)
both have won, there is no loser
Hello from the centre of Canada. The workmanship on both guitars is top-notch! Great work, guys! I do prefer one style over the other, but I'll call it a draw.
Les Paul is the best!

But it still plays great, sounds, great, feels great (big victory), and looks more its self than it did before. And therefore I love it more than I did.
I’d take the offset, but honestly just ‘cause I am not a big Bigsby fan 😉 and currently don’t own a P90 axe. But both are gorgeous 🖤
Personally I wouldn't want either one of them because y'all built them to your taste 🤷 props to the pickups 👍 and to you guys for your time and effort they are both Beyond unique great job guys✊😎🤙
Why not both?
Correct answer! 😂 Hey Amanda, thanks for watching the video! //Kris

Close, but Guillaume has it for me this time🤟 Fun project, a Partscaster doesn't count as another guitar right? Right....?😝
Soundwise, I would stay with Kris' one. But ai need to admit that Gillaume's guitar visual looks better!! It is a pity he put the Bigsby and not use it at all at the sound test! 😅
