HOW DO I FIND CATHY ZHONG?

Great stuff. More fender please.

So, in other words, you spent $1,499 dollars in Fender parts and extras.

Great video ,your Like me , i make my own guitars also ,Well upgrade and modify , refinishing...etc...i have videos also. 👍👍👍👍

I hate to be that guy, but… is that the correct bridge? There seems to be quite a bit of space from the low E to the edge of the fretboard. Also, it looks like the low E string doesn’t pass over the pole piece on the neck pickup. Sorry.

I got the red one 1990 it got the gold lace sensor pups, your look good ❤

I must be the most unlucky person in the world because every single time I order an Sj 200, it either has a broken Headstock or doesn't come at all unfortunately. With the amount of money I spent on broken or lost in the mail sj 200's i probably could've just bought an actual Gibson sj-200😞

Who's this guy? What u do to Mattis? No Hat? What going on here? 😂😂😂 nice vid, looks great 👍

👍🏻👍🏻

Wow, it looks and sounds fantastic. great job

Great job, Matty! I figured you'd eventually get one of those boost kits, but I didn't think you'd buy a whole new guitar to put it in! You've got to be closing in on forty guitars by now!

Very nice indeed, looks and sounds great. That's actually my favourite Strat configuration: Black, white plastics, and maple fretboard. Really enjoyed watching 👍

Amazing. Great guitar. Congratulations.

First ! lol ... Yeah buddy.! Looks amazing. Fantastic job!

Beautiful guitar. Those stickers marked "ROHS" are to show compliance with manufacturing standards indicating the electronics are not using lead (Led) in the solder or construction.

How do you custom order a guitar from her? How did you contact her?

Hi! And thank you for the great content. I really want you to tell me, how many actual hours you have put in to this? Thank you 🙂🙂

I called out the headstock shape on the build I’m waiting for. I hope “she” makes it right.

Damn, I thought you were Seth Rogan! Keep rocking!

I would use a reamer.

If I got this instrument I would probably switch out the neck for a bass neck, since I've always wanted a semi-hollow bass. Then I would paint it with an orange sunburst.

Everything but how it sounds.

Can we improve those guitars with better pieces or gibson pieces?

Why go through this build without sanding and buffing? It looks cheap because you didn’t

Those f holes are definitely the same as in the Harley Benton HB35

Mmm, hope you tidied up the paint edges on the headstock…

Hi there, How true to your request was her built?

Do they make complete custom guitars? Like if I would want a headstock I design myself, could they make it?

Hey brother. Looks pretty good. I just ordered a brand New Gibson Exclusive run Les Paul Standard 50's AAA top, in Bourbon Burst. I wasn't happy with my last Gibson purchase, so hopefully the 3k dollar mark with be better. I still have yet to see or hear one better than the Cathy Zhong Greeny she custom built for me. I will compare them when it arrives. I have a feeling it will be very nice. I had 6 to pick from. supposed to be 9 lbs on the dot. Im kinda excited about this Gibson. I haven't spent 3k on a guitar in a long time. All in the name of research. lol.

Plywood top. Not a very good finishing job. Nice color but the finish is not finished meaning sanded and buffed. I could see when he sprayed it,the lacquer wasn’t wet enough. He knows the luthier end but his finishing needs improvement.

Can i have it

A super nice build and sound demo! I just want to say that quality of the construction of copies coming out of China are getting better than they were just a few years ago.

That was good how much all in you recon

Good stuff... enjoying the videos. You probably know, but you can find accurate printable headstock templates for most guitars... I used on to trim a big Squier 70s style headstock down to the standard Strat size... they even have files with measurements you can use a measuring tape to be exact.

Very good job. I hv e gibson, japanese tokai, I have had several epiphones .. and I hace a chibaon guitar, qnd it is awsome how they are made by the price.... Your vide reveled what are they made of. Very interesting

Top??? It's plywood for heavens sake LOL

Hotel California!

It would look cool with maple fingerboard !

Man, that was crazy helpful! I have a white Bullet Strat with some mystery cracks in the poly finish. I thought they might look better if I checked the rest of the surface. I didn't want to have to take all the finish off and start over, like in EVERY OTHER VIDEO on the subject. And if that wasn't enough, that Daphne Blue really works for me. I never would have even thought of that as an option, but it's perfect. I'm glad I found your video.

The Gibson -Norlin-era (1969-1985) had a bigger Headstock than Gibson uses now .

You could add the grain filler, sanding sealer for next times, for smoother.❤

Look great in nitro and pickups good.

The guitar could have been water sanded better and buffed out. All in all, it was a good project and I enjoyed the tune you played at the end.

Congratulations. It's great.you have skills and means to be luthier.

Snyggt jobbat Mattias! Hur har du tänkt att polera gitarren? I ett mejl där jag frågade Nitorlack hur man kan få ”VOS” effekten på en gitarr; sa de att man kunde köra med 0000 stålull, har du prövat på nån gitarr hittils? Ha det! 🎸

Fantastic job! I’m just wondering why you didn’t wets sand & buff the clear coat to make it smooth & glossy? Maybe a satin finish would be nice. Either way, I wish I could do what you do. You’re not just a hobbiest, you’re a LUTHIER! Keep on rocking friend! 😊

Are you not going to wet sand and polish the clear coat?
