I know, I know, another partscaster... but this isn't just any partscaster. I’m starting on a build that will eventually belong to one of you viewers! I’m using a Squier SE Stratocaster as a basis, because it’s a near perfect upgrade platform. I’ve gotten a donation of several parts from one of our viewers (thanks, Mike!), and we’re both excited to put a guitar into some lucky player’s hands. This will be a multi-part build (probably 3 parts), and the actual giveaway will be announced in the coming weeks, once this guitar is complete.

BA lookin' Strat. Lucky person who wins that.
Yep, almost done!
Can't wait for the giveaway details, this is shaping up to be very cool looking Strat
Thanks, coming fairly soon! Should be finished with the guitar this week.
I'm using this guitar as a template for my 2008 Squire Bullet and its black. rock on everyone.
Thanks, hope it turns out great!
@@hacksguitarhobby just watching you work on the guitar has got me motivated to upgrade my guitar. I've picked up a musiclily MX211OHD Tremelo 36mm block and a set of Wilkinson vintage alnico 5 pickups new pots and switch and D'addario 9 to 42. i think it is going to be a very nice guitar. just watching you work on guitars has given me the confidence i needed. thank you.
I started using the Music city nut slot gauge from Joe glaser. It’s very simple but cool. You put the plastic slot in the nut, then you run it across the frets. It has little grooves in it at 0.000 0.003 0.005 and 0.008 and you basically just keep filing until it’s either just below or just above whichever one you want. It allows me to get super low how I like it but with no buzzing. I especially love the fact that you can do it without the strings on like you were talking about in the video
Nice, looks like a good tool and not overly expensive.
@@hacksguitarhobby yeah it works great. Takes the guesswork out of it. If it clicks, it’s higher than the number, and once it doesn’t, you just move down to the next number (until you’re at your ideal spot). Simple and cheap. My favorite stuff lol
Oh man, that Strat looks just this one that my friend had that I always envied. Can’t wait to hear what the giveaway criteria will be 🤞🤞🤞
It’ll be easy. I just need to test a selection tool and will announce the details.
@@hacksguitarhobby sweet!!!
All the music nomad stuff is amazing!
I have liked everything I have tried so far.
@@hacksguitarhobby yeah they just came out with a cool spot level tool which I haven’t check how much it is, but definitely way cheaper than stewmacs fret kisser
Nice work this is shaping up nicely!
Thanks!
Looking forward to seeing which red knob Fender it is and what you’ll be doing with it. I recently acquired a red knob Stage 185 and replaced the two input jacks on it. It’s a solid sounding amp.
I picked it up, it’s the “Evil” Twin. :)
Looking good 👍
Thanks 👍
