I've been waiting to build a guitar for a brother who lost a daughter, and I've been on the fence on which one to build, you just convinced me this one is the one. I'll be laser burning her portrait into the face of the guitar so he can hold her whenever he wants. Music is therapy. Thanks Sean.

I could have bet all the money I don’t have that you’d make this video . . . and that it would end up blue!! That wheel paint adds a nice metallic sheen on there - great idea. I keep hoping I’ll be able to build a guitar someday, even if it’s just a kit. There’s nothing like making things with your own hands, right?! (I come from a genetic pool of artists and carpenters - I’ve only tried my hand at the former, not the latter.) It’s not just about slapping the parts on a kit and calling it a day, but the therapeutic process and trying to build the best guitar you can. On top of that, it’s also about creative expression - tone wise, putting different parts, and then making it your own with the finish (you don’t have to just paint or stain - go hog wild with materials!). Of course, playing and admiring something you mostly made yourself will always put a smile on your face. One disappointment is that the neck is only 21 frets. I wonder if their other kits have necks with 22 or 24 frets. Oh and the bridge rattling. They either need a better bridge or to route for ferrels. If I offered another point of advice, everyone always ends up upgrading the farty sounding pickups. Maybe they can just charge a small up-charge to get an upgraded kit with better pickups and pots - maybe with some resistors/capacitors like orange drops, bumblebees, or those reddish/brownish ones already soldered on. Or offer it as an add-on kit, but I figure it makes sense to offer an upgraded kit so nobody is paying for crappy parts they won’t use. And btw, good move to include pickups with quick connects because the soldering part is often what stops people from trying to build kits - honestly, I have no clue why ALL pickups are just made with quick connects these days, including those from major manufacturers (it’s easier to cut them off if you need to solder onto your other parts, but if you don’t have to solder, why deter people?). The booklet itself has a lot of value including a template for the headstock and very clear diagrams/instructions. I’ve never seen a kit online that says it comes with two pick guards and shielding - and it’s the foil kind, not the messy crappy black paint that requires at least 2-3 coats. For the price they’re asking, these kits are a HUGE value. Imagine if they have a sale. Not you gotta get the guys at IYV to top this kit. Let’s start a kit war, lol. Good for the companies. Good for the manufacturers. Let’s see what you can do to top this kit, IYV! (And send me a sample for coming up with the challenge, lol! 😉😂)

I build my own guitars and not only it is very therapeutic, it is also very satisfying to build something with your own hands. We were just not designed to sit behind desks all day pushing 1's and 0's all day. And yes, it is sad to see a 21 fret neck being included, but I reckon its basically standard with Fender so they probably figured why bother. As for upgrade options, I reckon they could never offer all the options, so you would still end up with limited choices. In which case I would prefer to source everything myself. As for soldering, I have no clue as to why it puts the fear of God into so many guitarists. It is not that hard and it is need to know skills for a musician playing an amplified instrument. Murphy will ensure that something will fail that you can fix with a multimeter and a soldering iron. And youtube became big (and its basically the only thing it is still good for) by having tutorials on doing EVERYTHING! I learned how to build a guitar neck with LED's as dot markers from youtube.

@@davidcollin1436 I've bought a few of their pickups too. They seem fine. I'm with Glenn Fricker on pickups, they rarely make the huge difference that guitarists think they do.

I have an idea for you Sean. In the automotive world kit cars are offered so people can own extremely rare or extremely expensive cars. You could build your own guitar kits and bring back some old classics or unaffordable guitars. The original Fender Bullet was only offered in 81 and 82. When these guitars are done right they look and play better than a Telecaster. I say that because I own one so don't get the OCD fired up. I can see it now---- The Scarred Bullet--- up there with the Shelby Cobras. Just a thought.

That kit wasn't bad at all, I thought it was cool they included the black and white pickguards to give you some choice in the flavor. Six saddle bridge and string through body, I agree with 100,000%. Love the pro tip on correcting the fitment issues you might find like the control pocket being too small. I saw you remove the nut, did you "adjust" it or replace it with a bone nut? I think the finish you got was pretty damn good too. I know you must know how to make that finish like glass/mirror finish if you wanted to> I also know that doing that would take forever and it isn't necessary or that cool. Your finish has character and the character will become better with wear, tear and age because we know your scarred guitar ain't no closet queen! Love you man, I'll say hey at 10 tonight.

I'm not sure which way to go. I've never built one and don't have any special tools but I do have normal hand tools. Whatever I get will be for playing at home by myself or maybe jamming with a friend, but no gigs or anything profesional. So I'm curious what you recommend, buy a built guitar and maybe upgrade parts later, or build one and eventually change the pickups and tuners?

Sean/Shawn, my table saw doesn't cut curves as nice as your band saw in 16:54 or there bouts. And I DON'T have an oscillating drum-belt sander. But I love your idear for the paint job, with the blue chrome over the blue. That gives me ideas for doing a sunburst with metallic paint. Otherwise, I'm right with ya in terms of putting that kit together the way I want. I have the tools to check & fix frets & stuff. And a drill press. But I'm not sure I'd be happy to just swap the magnets in the pups. That doesn't solve all problems, but it's worth a try - might have a interesting sound! BTW, swapping the magnets won't change the resistance of the coils. Why would you think that? It might change the inductance though. You always want less. I love your finished guitar. Especially if YOU love it. All I care bout is if it sounds good, and plays good. If it looks cool, like a sunburst with metallic paint, that's even better. I'ma gwina do it. 🤪 👍 👌

Nice video Sean, I sure hope it helps to spark an interest in DIY guitar building. That color you chose is almost Lake Placid Blue, like the Strat I am building. Keep'em coming. Drop of set of Cathy's pups in that T-Style you built in this video, that would seal the deal. Thanks y'all.

I always put a hum bucker in the middle on my tele kits. Gives me the best of both worlds. Blended together it sounds great!
