THE FIRST THING many guitarists should do....is TAKE OUT the strap peg near the bridge (placed at 9'oclock, b/c ALL guitar makers are DUMB)... and drill a NEW hole for it, 3 - 5 inches HIGHER (11 o'clock?). EVER STOOD A GUITAR UP and it falls over BECAUSE they pointlessly put the peg at 9 oclock? That's happened to EVERY guitarist! ALSO, with the peg at 11 oclock, YOUR GUITAR WILL HANG BETTER, and more vertically, so your fretting hand NEVER has to hold the neck and headstock up while playing! WIN / WIN!

On my strat I filed the entire neck....

[@dustinshadle732]

I get my hands on cheap or free guitars that don't need new frett boards, or major neck or body work, and I'll change to Grover locking tuners, a bone nut, and make sure the fret wire isn't working it's way out, then I redress the fretts, usually the cheap stuff has sharp cutting fretts, which can really put off a new player. I then, depending on what type of music they like, will block in a floating bridge. I give detailed instructions on how to reverse this, for later, then I'll show them how to restring the guitar and usually go with a coated string to ease care. and most either need a better pot, or need a resistor added. I give them the guitar with the action adjusted, the stringing tool, several KZbinrs to learn other basics from (including your channel), and toss in a better than stock cable and recommend several amps, and KZbin samples of those amps, they P pay me $25 USD,which I feel is great to get an excited kid to start playing. the reason I do this is because I'm jobless right now, and like most of these kids, I wanted to learn guitar but my family was poor and instruments were not an option. the schools have had a lot of cutbacks on funding too, and music always gets the first cut. I've done 33 guitars so far, and a few cheap amp speaker upgrades, and I've got another 4 I'm waiting on delivery. it's made a lot of kids happy and given them a start I'd wished I had. on another note, I bought my ten year old nephew a Slash AFD starting kit, and he's already learned so much. I started learning two years ago at age 38, and I'm way behind lol. it makes dreams come true, so it's worth the out of pocket. I guaranty that those kids won't settle for a crap guitar next time. I have a Gibson and an Epiphone SG, a couple of Ibanez RG, plus a Mikro, and a Charvel Dinky, and won a lovely red wine Epiphone Les Paul, and have a '79 Strat, from Fender. almost time to collect my new Solar 6 string guitar. I love the more ergonomic styles, since I've broken my left wrist twice and I'm in a wheelchair since 2010. I'm nearly ready to try my hand at custom leather guitar straps. Cheers from Iowa, USA!

Better way to intonate: make sure the 12th fret HARMOIC is the exact same note as the fretted note.

[@kyranlior1476]

Even better: use a strobe tuner because you just can't hear it accurately enough... Human ears just aren't perfect.

[@jdcrtchfld]

@@kyranlior1476 But fortunately, human ears are all that's going to be hearing me play. I hope and trust.

[@crawltochina]

Not true cause the harmonic isn’t the played note. You want the played note on the 12th fret to be the exact same as the string note. With the harmonic you leave out the fretting hands pressure and the distance from string to fret which is changed by fretting.

A pickguard has many names, one of the originals was scratchplate

[@jayadams681]

Well you're wrong cos its aluminium. If you spell it correctly of course.

[@jamesohrdynn7454]

Alumium was the original name suggested but this was criticized and aluminum was then chosen as its given name. There was an objection afterwards and it was decided to use aluminium instead because they didn't like the way aluminum sounded... "for so we shall take the liberty of writing the word, in preference to aluminum, which has a less classical sound." So despite IUPAC's adoption of aluminium in 1990 as the standard international name, and subsequent acceptance of aluminum as an acceptable alternative in 1993, doesn't change the fact that it was aluminum first...

Thanks Dagan. However I feel you missed one cheap and useful mod, that being if you're going to change your tuners, strings, file the nut, hardtail the trem to improve tuning stability then it's a good idea to change the string trees (if present) from butterfly to roller to prevent binding. Only costs a couple of quid.

[@skarfie123]

"Takes 2 seconds to shield the inside of a guitar" Show me

[@davidmitchell8490]

Shielding a guitar's cavities is not a quick process. It's fiddly and needs to be done with care and decent foil(preferably copper with conductive adhesive.)Shielding paint is useless in my experience. Also, the foil needs to be earthed to a suitable earthing point in the control cavity, so that means soldering a wire to the foil and then to one of the pots perhaps...another reason why using aluminium foil is out 'cos it ain't gonna take solder! Doing a Strat will take about 3 meters of 5cm foil and you then need to check the total electrical continuity of your work with a multi meter. You've made the job sound far too easy but this point is the only one on which I would take issue in an otherwise fun presentation. Wish I could play as well as you! Dave M.

[@JacketCK]

@@davidmitchell8490 it's a joke buddy didn't know if you caught it though it probably woooshed over your head

[@TheRealcdawg22]

@@davidmitchell8490 Not only does one need to earth the copper foil to the body of the pots, but there should be a connection to the metal bridge or tremolo which make contact with the strings. Then you are fully shielded. Don't forget the backs of pickguards and cavity covers. All metal that is not used to pass the guitar signal should be linked together for a complete shield against transient interference. PS: It does take a little longer than 2 seconds.

Sustain tip for bolt on necks: With strings on, loosen up the neck screws just a bit, half turn usually at most. You should hear a small pop as the neck is pulled tighter into the pocket, tighten back up, retune, and reset intonation if needed. Youre welcome 👍🤘

[@jeremyrobertson7267]

I believe your tip would probably work but u don’t believe the shit about bolt ons, that has been proven to be false many times! Floyd roses or tremolos definitely aren’t a help for sustain, locking the strings isn’t compatible for sustain

"And you can steal pencils from IKEA" this guy is a legend

[@thisistheslam]

You can also mount a "graphite tree" for players that like to use their whammy bars and bend strings in/out of tune. It seems that the smaller strings are more prone to dropping out of tune because of the gripping nature of bends when your steel strings move against a steel tree. Using pencil graphite is a nice short-term play but you can permanently fix the major issue of throwing strings out of tune by installing a super-cheap graphite tree. I have one on my '98 Deluxe Series Strat and it never goes out of tune like it could when I first played with whammy bars.

If you'll ever notice, almost everyone who plays a strat, or a Tele leans over their guitar a bit, but LP, SG, Ovation, 335, don't seem to!
