Captain America Tele - PART 2 - START REWORKING

[@j-man9457]

And 2025 has begun! Good start buddy! Hash out those small details right off the bat! Nice work!

[@calbrockocat8728]

Now this is a very cool way to start the year! Really like how deep blue the back is. That's the kind of colour that makes chrome pop! It seems a few details were rushed, but that's par for the course. I don't like misaligned poles either. It may work fine, but looks-again- like the details were rushed. Happy New Year, Mike!

Happy New Year, Mike. Thanks for sharing this update and rework video. Rock on!

Happy New Year Mike. The string spacing over the pickup is ok. As ling as they are close from one side of the pole to the other. You don't want the string in the middle of two different pole. I have seen so many guitars that the pickup poles drift on the middle and neck pickup, but still works fine. Wouldn't that be wired for bridge pickup, both pickups, and then neck pickup? I measure the neck screws and make the holes the same diameter as the screws. No neck play from the screw holes and the neck gets sucked down into the neck pocket nicely.

I do the same technique for neck screws. The neck pup is dark. I got another one on temu to try, and its better but not by much. Our postal strike is over, and a full new set just arrived today from AliExpress. At this point the guitar is done, but will need to pull off the neck again to replace them. Just yesterday I had it apart installing in-line RC filters to lower the bassy end which also improved the sound. There are not many pup options in this style. I knew that prior to buying, but was hoping I'd have good luck for once. Well, I still need to manufacture my own luck as usual.

2bikemike i watched you drill your neck screw holes from the top is that how you do all your bodies is it the safest without chipping the wood or the paint? I was wondering because with mine i don't know if i should drill from the top or the back..now i have a guitar body I'm using all your neck pocket tricks cause your the best on here at that! Lol" and also your the best tuning machine technician on KZbin! Lol

@@ElvisPretzel-rv3bg Haha you caught me. I would normally do it from the back but in this case I didn't. From the back I would start it with the drill in reverse just to soften the edge of the Polly and then go forward if necessary. But sometimes the drill will actually go through in the reverse all the way down making it very smooth
