You had me with "Relaxing blues music" which I absolutely love. I really do need to learn to play guitar.

[@TheWind213]

Absolutely Gorgeous, the gold hardware against the walnut body, nectk & head make this guitar pop. Sick

The best no talking skill skill that's it !👍👍👍

I adore natural walnut bodies. The gold hardware and amber position markers set it off beautifully. I'm really impressed with the work you did without some of the standard table machines. Really enjoyed this build video. Keep up the great work!

[@dougreed9843]

This is the first time I have seen your build, I sit here realizing I'm tired of buying and selling my guitars from dissatisfaction always believing it's that particular guitar from the manufacture that I prefer being Fender Stratocaster I recently heard another custom built Walnut Strat and the tone was the sound zi seek and un able to get, tried a few amps and again just frustrated with the sound I'm looking for. I loved your selection of background music seems your a man of few words at least from this video, I like your work, thank you

[@morganoguitars2213]

Hi Doug, thank you so much. One thing I've learnt over the years of playing around with guitars is that the wood type on an electric guitar makes very little to no difference of tone. From my experience it always comes down to the player, the setup of the guitar, the pickups and the amp. I think people love the sound of strats because of the single coil pickups. I'm working on a custom stray style build at the moment and can't wait to get it finished :)

Even having been told for years that wood doesn't = tone on electrics with a beauty like that one it does make you wonder. But I will say relaxing no lol I was a nervous wreck. Lol What a prize. Congrats. G

[@nelsonsanroman2124]

Congratulations

[@morganoguitars2213]

Thank you :)

[@bryanharrison3889]

I wish you hadn't put a battery on the body while gluing it. That type of added weight, if unsupported on the bottom, can bake a "bow" into the wood, and it can also cause the wood to separate many years later. You could remedy that by putting something underneath that supports the weight of the battery which would solve all of those problems.

[@Tauanms]

Blackmachine body! Nice body

[@morganoguitars2213]

Yep :) I based the template off that. It was a little different by the end but I loved that shape to begin with :)

[@notjackson9821]

[@FortinInk]

Loved this! Bridge pickup ring is upside down tho

[@morganoguitars2213]

Thank you :) I know, they're both upside down. I tried it both ways and just preferred the look of the rings being that way because it looks nicer when it follows the string angle. It also means when I adjust the pickup height, that they are on a similar angle to the strings. Just a personal preference on this one I guess :)

[@jeromeclatot1769]

That is amazing. I would love to do project like this but always wonder if I would be able to get the neck adjustment right. Is there a way to start training to do project like this? Maybe assemble a warnoth guitar already cut and prepared before starting from scratch? Maybe books as well that would be useful? Thank you. Of note I like to work with wood but I’m not a orofessional.

[@Hiro.the.God.]

Ok, so now I want to make my own guitar. I’m sick of buying guitars and over hauling them. You did a great job. I hope to make one of my own someday soon.

$500-$1,000+

[@MediaCenterGuitars]

Very nice job! Curious what you used and did to create the gold letter for the headstock.

[@morganoguitars2213]

Thanks Jim :) I cut the sticker on a vinyl cutter with some gold vinyl and then once it was stuck on the black basecoat on the headstock, it was cleared over with some gloss clearcoat. I unfortunately didn't record a lot of that part.

[@steveroberts]

Fabulous build and hardware choices. Wonder about the weight of the guitar

[@rihenry7364]

Beautiful body, love how the maple contrast with the walnut. Was the neck purchased?

[@ramonjavier5049]

Buenos entrenamientos Para jovenes

[@morganoguitars2213]

Thanks :)

[@173guitarman]

Looks like you have the neck pickup ring backwards, the high side should be facing the bridge?

[@morganoguitars2213]

There really is no wrong or right way up as it depends on the body shape and curvature. I placed it that way so that it adjusts up and down evenly at the same angle as the strings :)

[@petedazer3381]

What did you think of the tried and true on the neck?

[@vicentealvarezmartinez600]

Que guitarra más bonita y como suena, es preciosa,es como me gustan a mi. A mis sesenta y pico años, me compré una estratocaster barata nueva por 145 euros, negra y blanca, sin saber tocarla y todavía sigo igual . Las clases las tengo muy lejos y por youtu.be no hay manera.🤷‍♂️

[@morganoguitars2213]

Thank you Vicente :)

I am not sure but guitar body does not have a protective layer. Do you know how strong these unpainted guitars performs in terms of durability? Do they scratch easier than multiple coated guitars? I am not experienced with guitars, I am just curious.

[@warptek]

Fine looking instrument. I would've just added a layer or 2 of gloss to the body imo.

[@morganoguitars2213]

Thank you, yeh I really thought about that a lot but in the end decided I liked just having a light sheen on it :)

[@vincentsantiago2gmai]

man all that work i will put stain steel frets and evertune bridge

[@morganoguitars2213]

I actually was originally going to go with brass/gold frets to match the theme but didn't do it. The Schaller bridge I used is awesome though, no problems with it at all

[@Paolo-ii6em]

Where do you buy the Electric components?

[@robinleebraun7739]

So where did you buy the neck? Or did you build it?

[@morganoguitars2213]

It was a Strat style blank neck I had laying around. I just did some custom shaping to it. I still might make a custom neck for this guitar but I actually really like the one that's on there now so I might just leave it :)

[@Poeticskulls]

How much would a guitar from you run? I have an extremely low budget

[@kerekes1952]

What is the finish you were wiping onto the neck?

[@morganoguitars2213]

It is the same stuff I used on the body. It's called Tried and True and it's very similar to Tru Oil. It's a great finish because it doesn't change the colour of the wood, it just makes it look deeper and adds a slight shine to it :)

[@iAmGio91]

Great build. But i prefer guitar without the pickup mounting ring.
