Those videos of the wood drying and seasoning are going to be boring. DIY one off builders are well advised to use old wood, architectural salvage or old solid wood furniture from the salvation army is good. That way it's really well seasoned. Old pianos and organs can also be good, church pews and lecterns too, they give that real holy tone....seriously, any old wood besides white pine or oak is worth trying.

Just a little tip for future builds. When making new holes for screws through a finish, run the drill bit in reverse. This causes an easy and slow cut because the bit will act more like a reamer and the blades will be pushing away and this will keep the blades from grabbing the finish and pulling up causing chipping. Once into the wood set drill for normal cutting/drilling direction. Works also for opening holes for tuners and/or tuner bushings with the exception of not setting drill to cut at any time. Just using bit as a reamer. Harbor freight sells a tapered reamer for about $4 and does a decent job. Congrats and nice build !

I’ve been blown away by this channel. I don’t even play guitar very much! Darrell has an enthusiasm for his craft & a style of presentation that I’ve gravitated towards since I started to check out guitars on KZbin. His style is represented in the choices he makes in presenting what he does to his audience. It even is reflected in the instrumental choices he makes for the videos. Braun is not the best guitar player I’ve ever seen on KZbin, but he certainly the one with the best taste in the instrumentals that are at the core of his videos. He never lets you forget that building a guitar is done in service of its eventual player, but that building a guitar is an art form onto itself. I’ve found that watching. Darrell Build a guitar is one of the most relaxing things I’ve found on KZbin. That probably speaks more to my weirdness than his presentation, but it’s a useful function for these videos to serve. I’m a bass player, and I’d like to see Darrell tackle a build of a cross-brand bass. Hopefully that will eventually come to pass. I’m pretty much hooked. I hope that we are able to watch Darrel do his thing for years to come. I hope that KZbin realizes that he’s a treasure.

Great build, but my best advice would be to keep your switch and pickup configuration the standard, but install a Gilmour mod which is a small switch that independently activates the neck pickup so you can run the neck and bridge or all 3 if you want. It’s a cheap mod and I do it on my strat copies and any that I can hotrod for my friends

rohadt Anyad Was going to say that exact same thing! Sounds good as it is, but with the Gilmour mod you keep ALL the 'standard' options PLUS you can get neck n bridge or even all 3 at the same time.

Turned out pretty cool, Darrel! I think the best part of this match-up may be the combination of body contours - it keeps the Strat nice belly and shoulder contours, but the flat leg base so it doesn't tend to slide off like a Strat. That's very convenient and something quite overlooked, but it makes a difference when playing sit down when using Superstrats with that kind of contouring.

I was inspired by the strat build you did before this guitar and made my own this year using the obsidian wire strat blender kit and a warmoth neck and body. I ran into the same problems you did in this video with fitting the electronics in the body as well as the pick guard not lining up with the neck (although I knew that would happen because I chose to get the body routed for a Tele style neck.) These were super easy fixes though and it was so rewarding plugging it in and playing after putting all of my carefully chosen pieces together. It’s also so worth it to choose the exact look with the wood and finish and hardware parts of your instrument that makes you want to pick it up every time you see it.

One thing I learned from Ben at Crimson Guitars is the neck pocket should be rather tight when fitting mating the neck. This prevents any movement of the neck and prevents throwing off intonation.

I love it, the tele body to me is much nicer than the strat body. I don’t like the upper horn on strats, so the tele strat hybrid give the best strat option in my opinion. Look fantastic. Love the channel, you cover it all, great playing, great builds, great reviews.
