How To Build A Stratocaster Pickguard

[@johnstitt2615]

I followed some tips from Dylan’s videos for grounding and wiring for a recent Teje build. It went great. Use this man’s given knowledge. He is the real deal. ✌️

Best demo on KZbin! Thank you.

I have a tendency to overcomplicate things in my head and guitar wiring has been one of those things. For some reason I have really been struggling to wrap my head around how to solder. This video has helped me out a ton. Thanks a lot.

I'm building a monster strat. This is all I have left to do. There's a neck pick up, and a Seymour Duncan (distortion) at the tremolor. And a switch. Neck / bridge select

[@ramencurry6672]

I’ve done this once, it’s super easy in my case of having experience of building pedals and amps from kits with a soldering iron. Lots of fun too to the point I want to build another loaded pickguard

Great video, thanks Dylan. Yes, a Tele wiring would be great. 😊

[@davidwood351]

Great instruction here, adds to my confidence. I would benefit from a Tele video too.

[@bobbyu878]

This was awesome. Very helpful and I thank you, sir.

[@roberthastings708]

Thank you. Good tips. Your instructions have enabled and motivated me to undertake these type of projects.

[@matthewdante2809]

Dylan this was such a great video. I learned a lot so thanks for making these kind of videos.

[@KarlRichert]

Great demo. Thanks, Dylan.

That was great, thanks, man I now know one of my problems, I was at 735, 800 will make a pool faster. I'm looking forward to rewiring my strat now Thanks again

[@haveagoodone5830]

That's very cool, thank you! I needed this because I have a neat vintage Bulgarian-made hardtail strat waiting for a rewire. The only reason I haven't come around so far is, a regular strat pickguard is too narrow for its basin , so I'll have to make one (also a red tortoise one!)

[@steveoneal5257]

great instructional vid,thanks Dylan

[@timopeedu6077]

Thanks Dylan!

[@ramencurry6672]

I use orange drop capacitors too. Great capacitors

[@kennyayala6189]

Custom pickguards using the laser cutter maybe? 😁

[@BuckyCrittenden]

Another great video! 👍 👍

[@johnnyway8667]

What do you think about Gibson style 3+3 headstock? Do all Gibsons have tuning problems? I'm considering buying a les paul type guitar, but if I have to spend that much I might as well buy a PRS. But the problem with PRS is that it doesn't look as good lol. It would be great if you could make a video on guitars with tuning issues, especially how headstock angle and design affects it and what are the solutions.

[@mitchellchurch3385]

Do you do pick guard orders for left handed guitars as well?

[@jasonsenator6144]

Please do the tele setup. I have a cheap tele ripoff guitar off my friend to died. I just wanted to get it working he handed to me in parts.

[@wilmer33086]

You gotta do an ASMR video soldering!!!

[@chillpillology]

dylan, other than super cheap accounting costing for the major brands, why would one not copper foil the entire back of the pickguard?

[@michaelmillican5592]

Do you ever use flux when soldiering?

[@DylanTalksTone]

The solder has rosin in it. Flux is for pipes

[@truckmonkey68]

@@DylanTalksTonedo I need to ground to the tremolo claw as well in this schematic?

[@curtisliptak3099]

Can you please help. I have viewed numerous excellent soldering instructional videos including most of yours and I am going nowhere with soldering, especially with guitar pots. I see that soldering connections should typically take 1 to 5 seconds at the most. I know how to flux, clean and tin and all my tips are good. I use quality 60/40 rosin core solder and a quality solder station. After I tip tin and try to get a connecting solder flow nothing happens. I have tried temps ranging from 300 to 800 degrees and there is still no tip connection solder flow. I don’t want to give up because I actually enjoy doing detailed meticulous work projects. Please help if you have any suggestions I would be grateful before I lose my mind. Best wishes.

[@pjsawyerthomas]

This sounds like it could be a solder wire quality issue or perhaps your iron may have an issue with heat conduction.

[@Tony_Leonardi.]

Great idea for a video

[@robert_olen]

Very cool to see all the little tricks - don’t get that level of quality with factory stuff

[@R1GAMBLER]
