Also, if they are a bit older, they are a cheep and easy way to make a guitar with a rosewood fretboard. Your vids are great thx

I built a LP Jr and it is awesome. I’ve also built a 2-P90 Jazzmaster and it’s also fantastic. I would recommend to everyone - build a guitar instead of spending a $1000 at the big name guitar stores. Take your time - both my builds took about a month, but just be patient. KZbin has everything you need to know to custom make your dream guitar.

Grayson Adams Well... for sure it’s not a Les Paul!! Nothing wrong with a bolt on neck but immediately that just makes it a guitar vaguely shaped like a Les Paul with a bolt on neck. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Oh... and on your “dream guitar” for $300 quality control issues like those on the binding (which were pretty obvious and significant really) are fine but smaller and easier to solve issues on the low priced $800 Gibsons are a huge issue for people?

Don Palanqueto that’s another thing I would recommend. Get new electronics for sure. I upgraded the pots and switches on mine as well as put Seymour Duncan pickups in. I never actually used the kit pickups so I’m not sure what quality they are. I went into my build with a plan in my head of how I wanted it to look and what I wanted in it. And white Seymour Duncan’s were always on my shopping list. That’s what I mean when I say take your time and do your research. You’re basically making your own signature model guitar. You can make it look and sound literally however you want it to. So figure out what you love as far as sound goes and find the best deals to find that sound. That’s what I would recommend

Question for you. The Rickenbacker 325 guitar was what John Lennon used in the early Beatles music. Trying to get one either requires a lot of money or getting what’s been called a Chinese Rickenbacker or Chickenbacker. The Chinese version I have heard on KZbin seems to have a various attempts of quality. So my evil thought for you is this. Have you ever thought about doing a clone of a 325 by using a Stratocaster body, Rickenbacker pickups, and a short scale neck using Pyramid Strings. Plus also doing the same wiring as the original one had. That would give those who would like to have similar to a Rickenbacker scale wise and possibly similar tone due to the Toaster pickups. It would be very unique guitar too. :) Love your videos and would love to see you do a gun video using an m1 carbine to test.

I scrabe bindings with mat knife or cut blade knife blades... just the blade. There is multiple sizes and shapes to try which fits your hand. I use'em almost everything I do. You can simply put tape around it or tape with piece of wood to make 'jigknife' like in the video. They are sharp for job, after the job you can throw it to another job.

You can fill in imperfections in binding by mixing shavings of the binding with acetone.. over time, the acetone melts it down into a liquid form, which you can then take and fill the holes with. The remaining acetone will bond it to the existing plastic, and then evaporate. At that point, you have solid plastic which can be sanded and scraped to perfection.

Honestly loved watched this video.. I’m currently working on the same les Paul style project except I bough mine without the bridge and stop tail piece holes pre drilled. I’m actually creating mine with a string thru body style, with a roller bridge, 81/85 ivory active pickups & Wilmington headstock tuners. It’s gonna be red and black based from the black widow lea Paul from Gibson. I love the videos, and keep making more! Subscribing now.

I used the same locking tuners in a six-inline set in black, on my frankentele build and had no issues with the locking posts. I did get mine on EBay for ~$12 for the set. They seem good tuners. Better than what came on the Johnson tele neck I used. They're pretty smooth and the ratios seem fine for the tele.

I got the same locking tuners, the posts that pinch the strings are a pain if you don't know what the problem is. The way I fixed mine was I tapered the ends of each problem pin. They were long enough but the ones who weren't going all the way home I noticed there was a small gap between the tuner and the screw in part on the back, that told me mine was long enough but the tip was simply not rounded enough. Doing it also lowers the possibility of cutting a string. The guitar came out nice. I would have personally left the splatter off of it since it came out so good looking but I understand why some folks like the imperfect look. I've done the same on certain projects I painted. Anyway good job dude.

Cool build. Reminds me of the Epi Les Paul Black Beauty I modded somewhat like this. I put a Pearly Gates in the neck and a JB in the bridge. It had the four knobs on the bottom and I changed out the two tone knobs for push-pull pots to split each of the humbuckers to single coil. Man, I wish I still had that guitar. It had to be one of the nicest I ever had.

I just got my kit from the fretwire, I’m doing a similar build, but I’m just doing basic les Paul wiring with the kill switch, no coil split or anything, in the future i might change things tho, I also got the kit that has a set neck and splayed maple, but the body has seemingly multiple grain directions? I was wondering if I should sand along the tigerstriping or the main dark spalted grain

Super cool!! I like your binding scraping idea. Since you asked in the video, I'll share my binding scraper, though I'm not sure if it's better or worse than yours. I take a dowel and notch a thin, deep notch into the end (imagine it's like a slot head truss rod end with a super deep slot). Then I insert a razor blade into it with the sharp end towards the bottom. That way, I can adjust the depth of the razor for the top or the side. As long as the blade is tight in the notch, it doesn't slip and it's super sharp. I run the rounded part against the body, and the blade sticking out scrapes the binding.

Cesar Alejandro Barragan Hernandez I don’t know. I would imagine with a non natural color guitar, yellowing isn’t desirable (some people like the look of it as a natural wood guitar ages). So I’d go with a two part clear coat and something specifically that cures with some ductility/elasticity (to stretch with humidity changes in the wood). There are lots of different formulations of two part clear coat that fit that bill. As for whether or not there’s a single stage lacquer that is as UV resistant as two part clear and also flexible... I don’t know. Maybe?
