Thank you very much. 😊

[@MatthewJacobDaniel]

That’s how ya do it bro…I’ve been thinking of buying this model and found your video. I love working on my guitars doing mods as well. - BTW cool Joy Division tat. 👍🏻

[@shuttervuleinguitarroom]

It's worth buying and doing mods on it. Excelent guitar IMO. Thank you a lot. 🙂👍🏼

[@rcboals]

Just ordered one. Hoping I don't have to do evrything you just did. Like you I enjoy working on guitars. Glad I bought the fret leveling kit you used. I don't think they sell them anymore. They worked great.

[@shuttervuleinguitarroom]

Thats nice man. 😊👍🏼 Yeah, it is a great instrument and that leveling kit is amazing for the price. Does the job well. 😊 Good luck with your new guitar.

[@rcboals]

Great video! What size or model bigsby is that? I just bought a DJP and im interested in adding a bigsby or a duesenberg trem

[@shuttervuleinguitarroom]

Thank you very much 😊 it is a Bigsby B60..but B6 or B7/B70 or Duesenberg should work as well 😊

[@colinohare]

Wow! That was fascinating. Just bought a Burgundy one its got an issue with my Tone Pots and Donner are sending a replacement. Would love to know what you changed? was it the Tone Pots and the Pull switch Volumes? and what did you upgrade to? Also I'm wondering what model Kluson Tuners they are? though I'm sure the kind on my guitar the screw is on an angle and not direct centre bottom like the kinda Grover style on yours? Looks like you installed a Bone nut? Hope you mind the questions I'd appreciate your advice. It looks absolutely awesome with the Bigsby, though not something I would look to do atm. Thank you so much for the Video.

[@shuttervuleinguitarroom]

Hi, i thank you for the comment. I changed absolutely everything. I put montys 50s wiring set, tonerider pickups. Kluson tunner, with 90 degree. But comare to your and it is easy to find one that fit. I installed bone nut, but later i changed it for graphtech, because of Bigsby. It is a great guitar and o really hope that you will enjoy yours. 😊

[@colinohare]

@@shuttervuleinguitarroom Thank you, yeah I've got some Grover's Tuners ordered but sent a Video to Donner re Tone Pot they agree it's defective and will replace the guitar without needing to return the original. Wow! Incredible service. I will install a new nut likely Bone but I'll ask my Luthier. Thank you for your reply.

Why did you level the frets? Were they buzzing? Was the truss rod functioning?

[@shuttervuleinguitarroom]

I like to fret level frets to all my new guitars..to get low low slonky action 😊 Frets were fine, but i like to set up everything to my preferences 😊 Yes, truss rod working fine 😊

[@johnpicciano2839]

great, lookig foward to it, by the way my friend just got a HAZE seg 1974 hollow body have you ever seen or played one and what were your thoughts compared to the donner 1000

[@shuttervuleinguitarroom]

Never tried haze before, but would like if I jump on one. 😊 But alone donner is great value for money for sure. I still have mine and realy enjoy it. 😊

[@johnpicciano2839]

thks for getting back to me , i was hoping you did a follow up to hear the guiar thks

[@shuttervuleinguitarroom]

Yeah, I will do that as soon as I get time for that. I hope it will be now in November. 😊

[@gabrielcarpenter8251]

Were the original pickups Alnico or Ceramic? Can you share the specs on the original pickups ?

[@shuttervuleinguitarroom]

They were ceramic, but sound fine imo. 🙂 I dont have them anymore so I cant give you specs

[@johnpicciano2839]

wich hollow body do you think is better the donner or the vintage VSA,wanted to get one for my uncle to upgrade

[@shuttervuleinguitarroom]

I think that Donner is better choice overall. Better build quality, better neck imo. 😊

[@DynamicDave-z8r]

Is there a vdo in which you play this guitar, please?

[@shuttervuleinguitarroom]

Sadly no, because I sold it. 😊 But those pickups in this guitar sound amazing 😊

[@elrocketo664]

wich bigsby model is that?

[@shuttervuleinguitarroom]

B60

[@robertcalef4242]

Can you still buy this guitar new? all of a sudden I can't locate new ones, only used.

[@shuttervuleinguitarroom]

I dont know. I didnt look for them for a long time. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@robertcalef4242]

@@shuttervuleinguitarroom I bought one in each finish but donated one. Kept the black and sunburst. Put Seymour Duncan PUs in the black one. I think I'll hold on to them. Who know's might be worth something as they do play amazingly well and great sound. Teamed it up with a Zoom GX1-Four.

[@localtrust]

yeah, it's funny. I see reviews on these guitars all the time but I don't see them for sale anywhere

[@robertcalef4242]

@@localtrust I bought one in each color, 3 all together. They are fine instruments and I had one redone with Seymoud Duncan PUs. Going to hold onto them. Who knows they might be revered in 10-20 years. If not, they're still gorgeous and well constructed. Combined mine with a Zoo X1G.

[@shuttervuleinguitarroom]

I sell mine on Reverb 😊

[@shuttervuleinguitarroom]

It helps 😊

[@JayWarrenNCMusic]

What pickups did you swap in?

[@shuttervuleinguitarroom]

Tonerider Rebel 90 😊

[@MrJudo2go]

That was brutal to see. Working through the F hole is difficult. Even if the guitar is inexpensive there's ways to protect the finish and more skilled way to go through the F hole. Good video though.

[@shuttervuleinguitarroom]

It was my first time to work through f-hole. Anyway, I'm satisfied with results. No scratches at all 😊
