Hi Mark, i know this is a longshot and may be too much. But any chance you can provide measurements of each of the stickers? I want to buy it directly from the link, but from where i live and also currency exchange, the price is too ridiculous for me to buy it. Figured I could make the stickers myself as I have a design/printing background. Thanks for your time boss. I also DMed your instagram. You may reply anywhere that works best.
Dude this guy metalcop did a recreation of jerry cantrells single humbecker telecaster almost down to the crazy drawings that were on it. He did like 4 videos on it. Well worth the watch
So rad ... the inlays on the neck are next level. Those stickers bring back some good memories... We played a couple shows with The Queers and they spend the night at our place when they came to KC. They're still one of my favorite punk bands to this day. We never got to play a show with the Descendents, but we did get to play a couple shows with ALL. Those were the days.
This was very well done. I love how you combined the use of old-school guitar building with the use of modern tools. I especially love how you cut out the fret markers to make space for the new ones and the attention to detail! Wish I had your skills.
Just for the level of detail you did reconfiguring this, I don’t hate the Fender price point. I do love how you in the process did EVERYTHING right beyond any normal manufacturers quality control. Either way, starting off with an affinity series and having mod options like this are a huge selling point for me.
What great content. It’s also amazing to see all TD fans build his new guitar. Seems fairly straight forward with the way you made yours. I had the same thought process on the build. I loved my OG TD Strat back in the day. Unfortunately life was hard back then and I had to let some guitars go and that was one that went. I was grateful to own it but it did tour with me for a few years and I had to let someone else appreciate it.
This is wildly impressive. 99.999999% of every other person who wants to do this same copy will not do so, or do so as accurately just based on the inlays alone. Sick. Just sick. Now I want a laser.
Incredible video - would be super interesting to see how you re-create his signature es-333. I’m assuming you’d need to start with an epiphone dot studio, and do something similar as the starcaster?
I have a feeling these will shoot up in price in the near future. 300 bucks for a semi hollow that can bang with a few simple mods. Tom is definitely making these popular again..
@Mark Gutierrez I love your music, not eve to mention the build. Please tell what is the effect pedal/device/chain you used at the end. Beauty ambiance!!
Hi, I'm using the Fractal FM3. The ambient stuff is just one of the cloud reverbs based off the Strymon pedals. On the FM3 they are called: Cirrocumulus, cumulonimbus, nimbostratus and stratocumulous.
Thanks so much, especially the strymon references. I found a reasonably priced reverb called, wait for it... skylar. From GFI. Can't wait to get ambient.
This is true. I know mark dilorenzo and got to go to the factory in santa barbara. More like a shop. We talked about tom delonge and he said tom has had most pickups custom wound even his invaders
So awesome! Would be even more amazing if you sold these as a kit cause I’m sure myself included would purchase this! I was thinking of this project for a bit. Now I’m motivated to do it!
Hi, I use a Fractal for all my recordings. That video used an FM3 with a custom patch I created. To recreate it with pedal, you could use a Strymon like reverb pedal running through the effects loop of Deluxe Reverb that's been boosted with a boost pedal.
Great work, the guitar looks amazing!!! I just ordered all the parts to build this guitar myself… only question would be the wiring. do you have a wiring schematic or pictures of the details of the wiring?
@@MarkGutierrez so for the top pickup and switch, can I just cut all that wiring out since I don't need it? Then for the out of the box bridge pickup (which I'll be replacing with the SDH), can I get rid of all that wiring too? I''m drilling a new hole for the knob port, and replacing the pot completely for a cts 500, can I technically remove all existing electronics that came with the squire? Will the new SDH have all the wiring I need? I hope this question makes since. You did it so fast in your video lol
@@kyleyork6041 the only wires you should keep from the original squire are the ground wire that is coming from the bridge, the ground wire from the jack and the hot wire from the jack. everything else can be tossed.
@MarkGutierrez god I’m glad I saw your response before I did what Reddit told me. They said all I need was the wire for the input jack and that the SDH -5 and new pot would have everything I need. Thanks

Dang, wish I had your woodworking skills. I’d be creating custom guitars all the time lol Very cool to see the whole process. Turned out great 👍
love the guitar and the playing at the end. great work!

Great craftsmanship! LOVED the music you played at the end
Yup that was really cool I enjoyed the watch
the background music you make for your videos is delightful
Interesting bit of "forensic luthiery"! The "after-market inlay" process was very cool.
the instrumental was insane!!! so good
Amazing creativity man
Bravo Mark!
dope job and that jam at the end was slamming !
This is an amazing video. I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it!
this guy is very talented musician and artist also an awesomw guitar builder
I love that man that's awesome! Good for you that's sweet tom would want that
I liked the Squier in its original form.
wow the song at the end sounds so good

that inlay work is amazing
Love your music. Reminds me of Tycho. Got a SoundCloud or are you on any streaming platforms? Great job
nice craftmanship !
I cant wait to buy a shell pink one!! I hope they release early april
DAMN!!! Dude! That is a fucking incredible job. Absolutely love it
Subscribed. Listening to your video felt like meditation. The guitar turned out amazing too.
I usually skip it when the makers play the guitar after the project is completed but didn't this time. Really dug what you played.
AVA vibes in the outro jam. 🤘🎸🌒
That was fun. Thanks
Mark!! 🎨 💪 Thanks For Sharing 🎸 🎶 ✌
I envy your skill. What a great build you got there.
Dude INSANE JOB! Congratulations!
Very cool and underrated channel. This is the dude you got a subscribe and like to.

That thing is gorgeous and you sir are very talented! I'd be happy to buy it for what you picked it up for.....😂😅
Sure. Hit me up on instagram and make an offer.
Awesome Sir

Great build! 🎉
Great work. Modifying electronics in these looks like a dog's breakfast.
Nice work! I've looked into converting a Squier Starcaster myself. 👍
Very inspiring, thank you

I've heard that his pickups are actually custom-wound on an SH-5 base, so they may be hotter than stock.

What size and type of drill bit did you use to drill the new volume pot hole? Thanks for this video! It's super helpful!
Great work man!
Awesome build and playing! One small detail tho. He has the strap button on the back of the neckplate. Like the Squier super sonic guitars.
Thank! Yeah, I knew the strap lock was on the neck plate. I just need to get a slightly longer screw to make it work.
Mark the build was phenomenal, the guitar sounds amazing, but the song that you played out of this world. Where can I get that song? Thanks
Squire will take you higher 👆 🎉🔥 Butternasty tones 🎶
Very cool. Can you share the wood laser cut files of the neck pickup and the rest of the holes in the body too?
wonderfull job!
I come back here from time to time just to hear your outtro. I have to use 4 pedals to get that tone. Id be curious about what you use. Nicely done

The seymour duncan custom pick up… is it the same as the sh-5?
Man, I can’t get over that Squier headstock 🤮 Cool analysis and work, man.
The neck needs to be 22 frets with no overhang, am I right? There's so many versions 😢
Dope 🙌🏼
How do you play the part at the end: what do you plug in your guitar so that it sounds lime this,?
I use a Fractal Audio FM3 for all my demos and recordings.
Maybe I missed it, but where is the treble bleed?
Would you be willing to make and sell a neck with custom inlays?
Hi Mark,
Any chance I can buy some of those conical fillers for the holes from you?

This is great, so uh where do I buy?

Fractal FM3

What did u do about the gap you’d get with replacing the neck with a Strat neck considering it’s a 22 fret neck with no overhang?
Sorry if I missed it but did the neck come with no fretboard lip?
