I think she might've knocked some sense into him..jk😂😂

[@greggrigsby319]

Lol 😅 you go girl keep Sean on his toes. Cathy sure does make the video 👍✌️😎 From the Pacific Northwest ⛄⛄🎄🎄

[@joestahl9102]

Love your videos your no nonsense way of making them sound better

[@thebaldshredder]

I got the green one and I love it. Great guitar. That blue looks sweet too.

[@kibscott6096]

Man I love this channel, you all know how to do it right. That guitar is awesome looking, id probably replace the pickups and DEFINITELY that bridge. Hope you two are doing well, see you in the next episode of as the guitar swings lol el kabong lol

[@davidkastin4240]

That sounded like it hurt when Cathy whacked you with the guitar body OUCH!

[@marlan3rd]

Well done. Nice honest presentation. I did wonder about the battery compartment and how the controls would work with the active pickups.

[@tednarcotic8437]

I love your show. I don't know which spelling to use for your wife's name but her role is comedy gold. May I suggest a Gilligans Island type hollow coconut bonk sound effect over the frying pan hit. BTW your show is a hit in all ways. Keep it up Dude!

[@iankeel7914]

Wilkinson make some extremely good 2 point strat bridges, it was Leo James or whoever they are, that choose to put that bridge on it.

[@doknox]

The fret ends are nice but they were rounded before they were put in. You can see the lengths are all different and the ends are on the board not the edge.

[@recumbentrevolution6540]

WOW😮 Love that finish on that body, and the neck, 🔥🎸

[@susannoland7385]

I have just started learning but you have taught me a lot. I didn’t know anything about guitars and I bought a Squire for $100 on Facebook marketplace, it sounds awful so I bought a carbon fiber Nova Go non electric, it sounds ok from what little I know. I figure I will wait until I play better and know more before I buy try to buy electric again. Maybe I will try to work on the Squire using some of your tips and buy new strings for it. I really enjoy your videos thanks!

[@Mr.PhatsVarietyVibesShow]

Do we have to always use the battery to play this thing? I never had active pickups ..

[@mikestroud9969]

😂😂. Thats how you make a video. Kudos you both. Good stuff 👍👌💯🎸🎸

[@robertvance1873]

Should have come with a trem bar that's when the Wilkinson is worth it and comes Alive.

[@zolar55]

That is a wild lookin guitar!……got my purple kit today…thankyou and Cathy

[@davidmoss7245]

I think those saddles lock into place when intonation is set with a provided Allen key so they won’t move,it’s supposed to improve tuning stability,it’s a good idea and works. 9:29

[@jaysnow-p1d]

That G clef should be framed! Very cool box....

[@RobTackettCovers]

Wow, man, paused at 3:22 to comment...that thing looks spectacular...and it appears to have maybe a floating Wilkenson trem on it, too...which is one of my favorite floating tremolos ever...I used to have this Carvin DC400 (one of a few I wished I'd never parted with), and it had a Wilkenson on it...and with the locking tuners on it, once you put a fresh set of strings on it and got them good and stretched out, it would stay in tune, even with extensive trem use...back to watching...editing in after getting to your dislike on that particular Wilkenson bridge...mine had allen head screws to hold them in place, and I could loosen them on the one I had and nudge them one way or another with a little effort to intonate it without loosening the strings...but that one, I don't know...looks like it would be hard to do without loosening the strings, as you say...

[@robertvance1873]

Plus the Wilkinson tremolo sounds killer.

[@PhillipBlanton]

Microphonic passive pickups can easily be fixed by wax potting them. The active pickups though are already sealed in epoxy, so you cannot wax pot them; but they SHOULDN'T be microphonic because of the epoxy. Like you, I am not a fan of active pickups so I don't have a lot of experience with them; but until your video, I didn't think they could even be microphonic. Regarding the frets... I think those ball end frets look nice but I've never seen an instance of them installed straight. I see the same thing on this guitar. The fret ends aren't lined up along the edge of the fretboard. At first I thought they were quite an upgrade on these cheaper guitars, but now I think that they are easy enough to make apart from the guitar, and easy enough to install, that it saves the manufacturer money, which is why you see them so much. A talented luthier can do a much better job the old fashioned way, but it is a lot more expensive because of the labor involved. I'd rather have normal frets that aren't done as well, because I can finish the fret job myself. They do prevent sharp, sprouted fret ends though, which is a real turn off to less educated or less capable guitar buyers.

[@Bbbbad724]

I like real wax potted naked Seymour Duncan humbucker pickups, and I have to have intonation. I love a beefy neck. With 7.25 radius. The rest is Okay but I like the 61 best with the rosewood fretboard

[@davidkastin4240]

Dam Leo Jamz is killin it!

[@AndrewAHayes]

I would be sending it back, that knot would drive me mad!

[@hanovergreen4091]

I was thinking same thing.. the pickups sound really good. Did not have any of the compressed, processed sound from other active *cough* emg *cough* pickups..and then you showed they were microphonic..but still sound really good :). Best Regards and Best Wishes!

[@Clyceman33]

Leo,mix some blue and greens together.Mix some light blue and electric blue.You are on to something with the epoxy .You could come up with even better color combos. Experiment with new variations.

[@robertlathan4639]

Wilkerson is what Pete thorn has in his signature sure guitars!! Love you all and have a blessed day!!! Also the tuners might be Wilkerson to be keepers!! I have been wanting to try one but the squire was fine till I pawned it 4 years ago!!!!

[@wasteddude9387]

Thanks for the insight into Leo J guitars. Pros and Cons. Mucho appreciator, dude!

[@georgemobley5913]

I bet it is heavy as hell it looks like a piece of rock made into a guitar but it sure does look and sound good too. Thank you both and Merry Xmas.

[@rogerj.reinke6224]

Love the shape but not so keen on the color scheme.All blue would have been better. Sounds great once you plugged it in !!!!! Wombat Roger !!!!!!

[@biglutherie]

Maybe you could wax pot the pickups for an upcoming video{?}

[@MikeHensley-sc3ns]

Bet it can be bluesy… according to the color of the box. My fav color… let’s see…👍🏼

[@EricRabb]

Yes Cathy hits hard bro! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@Gerry-cg6kr]

Been thinking about one of those

[@tvtothepoint]

That is one beautiful guitar! That said, those parts - tuning machines, bridge and pickups, are as too often you say, "straight trash". But yeah, for the $, it's a killer deal. If I had an extra $300 to spare, it'd be sitting under my leftover christmas tree, just in time for the New Years party! One of my guitars came with EMG's, but it was a yard sale find and a killer deal complete with an Orange amplifier, so I wasn't going to complain. Instead, I sold them both on Reverb and made a few $. Active pickups just aren't going to work for me since I mostly play blues and rock (70's and 80's), but I'd totally swap out for some decent humbuckers and call it a great deal, however I'm definitely one of those guys with a bad back who plays standing up, so a 10-12+lb guitar isn't going to work for me. My limit is 9lb, but I prefer them to be under 8, otherwise it's one or two songs, and I'm swapping out for another axe. Thanks again for an entertaining and informative video. Hope to see you on the live show this Saturday! P. S. I've been messaging you on email about buying one of your kits, but I would like to have it complete with a set of those Catbuckers.. If you can do that deal, I'll drop the hammer on the body and neck today. Love, peace and greenbacks from N. Idaho! ✌️🤘🔊🎶🎸

[@scarmyguitar]

We haven't received any emails from you. hit me up on Instagram, Facebook, Or Ebay. www.ebay.com/usr/scarmyguitar

[@trevormoorctaft3906]

I hope you and yours have a great Christmas. Yer mods are fan-fucking-tastic!

[@CrowHTDlife]

Ima buy one! Be a great mod guitar

[@fabieneldridge3414]

It Sounds Great ! I don’t want a guitar unless it’s been scared ! 😊

[@Vicos]

Dunno Sean. I think you got a bum wrap on that first whooping.

[@mikeg6666]

Definitely a cool looking guitar and pretty slick but the pickups and hardware should be better quality for an upper end budget guitar. Too many other options out there that offer a lot better for less IMO!

[@scarmyguitar]

Agreed!

[@newmexicosaint]

The tempest guitars are so close to excellence. My biggest hang up is the frets aren’t centered in the neck😖 and the tuners suck. I don’t recall my pickups being microphonic tho. I’ll jack with it again and check. LEO JAYMZ PLEASE FIX THE FRETS. They need to go to the end of the fretboard and be centered!

[@MisterJWJ71]

@scarmyguitar I've been telling you in the live videos it's pronounced like my name "James" but they spell it goofy to try and be cool or something. Great video by the way.

[@ginolamendola4084]

That’s a nice $300. Piece of Art. Hang it on the wall and leave it there! Thanks for another great video!!!

[@PaulMihelic]

I think that my starter wife was microphonic.. You know, when she would say something it made a noise that you wish wasn't there.

[@batphink2655]

'Clunk' I felt that ROFL! Cathy ahs good aim haha! Like the blue but the greenish Earthy bit not quite my thing, however it seems like it's decent quality overall and you make it sound good either way!

[@robertvance1873]

They also have the new Monsoon

[@Brykk]

Ill spend the extra $50-100 and get a used prs.

[@bubbamilburn6653]

An epoxy body stuffed with pot leaves. That would sell like hotcakes. Since its going legal, you know.

[@jimgrisham6054]

Nice one sean

[@johny3barr]

I'd still Buy a Scarred Guitar over That Anyday, Will Be Looking to Get one soon as they come out !!! As Always Thank You, Merry X-Mess, Sean, Cathy, & Everyone Scarred ... Live Free or Die, From Pew Hampshire !!!

[@timesurfingalien]

Bald shredder dropped his Leo Jaymes "MONSOON" today

[@rkg456]

The Frets don't even go to the edge of the fret board.

[@joeyride58]

Sean... U said 2 put a gibson humbucker in the bridge of the evh frankenstrat... Theres many to choose from & dunno??? Which one??

[@philipodd3378]

Eye Candy for sure, a bit of swapping out and youve got yourself a mean machine Rkon

[@Clyceman33]

She should have ordered the Monsoon not the Tempest.Try one of those if you do not like active pickups

[@MusicalMysteryTour-qv3gn]

'VC Passed' means it was checked by the Viet Cong :-) Guess we'll see it at the NAMM music show lol.

[@brCharlieNagy]

good video, detailed, thanks. You think those active pickups brings out pinch harmonics better than passive ones ? Thanks

[@Zundfolge]

On that bridge, I agree the intonation adjustment looks annoying. But that's how a Floyd Rose is, so that's something a "shredder" expects already :p I'm with you on those pickups too, its too bad they'er so noisy because they sound good under load (but I'm not much of an active fan either) But at that price, replacing them isn't that big a deal.

[@alsantangelo]

At least on the treble side it looks like some of those frets are longer/shorter than the rest, wondering if you have any string slippage right off the end?

[@scarmyguitar]

No and they aren't near as bad as what I've seen from Grote

[@slacquin]

I'm gonna have to google that quartersawn vs flatsawn neck.

[@VillainDave]

Sounds good but those microphonic pickups would drive me nuts!!

[@manfredworner8528]

Every time you show us guitars from Amazon they are never available 🙃

[@studowling]

I Don't Know by Ozzy. Nice! \m/

[@edwilson7629]

Looks as good as it sounds!!!

[@Seven7Pain1]

get the bald shredders version the monsoon has fixed bridge and weighs 4.5lbs

[@davidkastin4240]

It weighs 5.58 lbs my friend ✌️

[@Seven7Pain1]

@@davidkastin4240 ok sorry thought he said 4.5 still 5.58 is light my main guitar is 7lbs lol

[@grizzlee1093]

And it has alnico 5 non active pickups

[@timesurfingalien]

I'll be st@lking until the SCARRED hits Amazon.

[@kmatax9237]

A real Wilkinson by gotoh tremolo has those adjustment screws. That bridge there looks like its gonna bend 1st time you use it

[@Metalaxe5150]

Hahaha I know it’s fake but didn’t he look like his whole body went loose after she bopped him,good stuff y’all keep up the humor it goes a hellofa long ways

[@doctoribanez]

I got a firefly from a china store for like 200 and the frets are like that

[@BingsBuddery]

Oh wow, good call on that bridge.. that would be impossible to intonate without having dead ass strings by the end of it; that's IF you managed not to break the high E ten times in the process. Junk design for sure.

[@dnate697]

Hahaha I luv you guys!

[@TURBOCAST]

Ooooohh GIGGY!!!🤘🤘🤘

[@oddshot60]

So ... since I didn't win the Cozart Tele you worked on, just like that Fesley Strat y'all talked me into, I had to break into my Social Security money and BUY one. It was the LAST ONE they had, but it was the natural wood one I wanted so I made out OK. I tried "best offering" them, but they weren't having it. Now I'm wearing a groove watching that vid where you fixed the Cozart up so I can do mine exactly the same. Don't know how I'm gonna pay the rent ... but least I'll have some good guitars.

[@mauibill7233]

Where's the dumpster Paul? Asking for a friend.

[@David-lq5us]

I don't mind knots

[@oddshot60]

Knots is character. Scarf joints on a neck is pretty low rent.

[@chadbyford2680]

Very cool looking guitar! That bridge is poopy looking! You could sing back up vocals and play guitar at the same time with all that microphonic power lol 😅

[@BootleggerPhil]

Sean, a couple of words to the wise: Don’t sass your missus if she has access to tools that make that kind of noise on you skull. Only buy Chinese stuff secondhand (sorry brother). That’s not a real Wilkinson. Shredding is a waste of energy. Your guitars are heaps better. Dip the pickups in wax.

[@Gerry-cg6kr]

Get epoxy from cheap joes arr supply

[@davidmoss7245]

Don’t like the green it looks like camouflage,one colour would be better in my opinion

[@snowmaneffect]

That quick connect on the pickup slid off way too easy.Needs duct tape.

[@oddshot60]

You AIN'T putting chrome on that guitar ... are you? Stick with the black.

[@Gerry-cg6kr]

Didn't like there strat still baseball batt neck

[@timscarrow9151]

Man that escalated quickly, made me jump.

[@Patbwoy]

That's certainly NOT real mahogany, but one of those mahogany looking cheaper woods. Real mahogany is darker for starters. But what do you expect from a 300.- guitar?

[@SIXPACFISH]

You should show us how to lighten that chunky body, Shawn.

[@OakCityGamers]

bro. I love your videos, but this guitar looks like doo doo water... I wish it was just the blue resin... why brown resin? sorry it looks dumpster juice man. exquisite crapsmanship lol

[@2xrpm]

Dam good point about bashing China guitars from China made phones. Hella zinger.

[@mikeg6666]

Unfortunately 😕

[@David-lq5us]

Lmao

[@birdman316]

poor guitar body...hope your noggin didnt crack it hahaha!!!! ya bro you can get a better 2 point tremololly bridge that should pop right in...if theres a standardized spacing for the 2 screws.... i like how ya played with the name....jammzzzz lol!

[@knut917]

emg knock off pickups

[@robertvance1873]

That would ruin the whole guitar if those pickups were ever changed.

[@RA-ew8rv]

Man those electronics (wiring and pots) are a HOT MESS. With the way the cavity was cut if you wanted to upgrade the pots (i.e. large ones) they'd never fit. The wiring looked like a rats nest. Great video, but pass on this axe.

[@deathnsd6953]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@roba7737]

Stop asking stupid questions. Lol

[@theariesexperiment4642]

I have a technical question Scar. Ive had my Charvel ProMod with a Gotoh 510 tremolo for 5 years. Ive used D'addario NY/XL 9-42 for the entire time of ownership. I recently wanted to try Paradigm Ernie Ball 9-42 strings. As soon as i started tuning i was already happier with them. They were clearly brighter, more resonant and better feeling. But when i got to the D string however,..... something was bad off. I ended up having to back the D saddle all the way to the last thread on the screw. And its still flat on the intonation. Ive tried loosening it and untwisting it. Ive tried tweecking the neck relief. Im all outta ideas. Any knowledge you can share would be helpful. I love the strings. P.S. It would intonate perfectly prior to brand change. And all the guages are identical in both sets.
