GFS Strat Style Relic Build On a Budget With Slick 56 Pickups Demo - Guitarfetish

In this video, we go for a relic Strat style build with the best sound while also staying under an affordable $250 budget! How may you ask? We dug around the guitarfetish clearance section and found some dinged up pieces that were perfect for the project. You won't believe how this baby turned out!

Definitely like to see a more in-depth build on something like this.

[@onefatstratcat]

I'm glade to see David Spade has finally found some work :)

[@30smsuperstrat]

I thought it was the Warmoth guys brother. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIO7n4Zol6upeKcsi=f0_8ZEO78j6ILaic

[@davidmbas]

I really wanted to see the refinish and relic part of the Video. Sure there a lots of them out here but most of the suck. lol many thanks!

[@user-eu3mn6ss5l]

Cool video! I want to do a GFS build at some point. The whole Slick line is killer for the money. I've ordered from GFS a bunch of times and always been happy.

[@murpsman]

I would have liked to have seen the relicing process.

[@blakejung3876]

That relic process looks like it was done by someone who has professionally relic’d to an extent and may have cost just as much as the body or more to do. If he actually did it I would love to see a video too!

[@nikkoberserker]

Hello , i love this project and i want to see the complete process for the relic and the assembling !

[@JustinSmitty]

Please do more in-depth builds and tutorials! I love stuff like this!

[@skinball]

I would love to see a mustang or Jaguar style body come in

[@improvewitherror]

Pretty awesome end result, I was thinking of doing something similar but with a telecaster. GFS pickups are by far the best bang for your buck!!

[@ehdforlife]

I think the best and hardest part is the body. How to sand, paint, and relic seems like what would take a while and most of us don't have the ability to do that. Maybe Guitar Fetish could sell different levels of relic bodies.

[@muzishan95]

Gorgeous guitar! Would love to see how you went about refinishing and then relicing it. It looks pretty authentic! That neck is grogeous.

[@ironchimpo]

Great demo and some good soulful playing

[@malcolmbliss777]

Wow. Those really sound great. When people,e tell me about whatever new flavor of custom guitar trick they spent 10x more on, I like to remind them: “do you know what model of Strat Jimi Hendrix played? The only one Fender made” It’s not the gear, it’s the talent.

[@autodidacticprofessor869]

If you've ever seen pics of some of his guitars, including the Woodstock one, the neck pockets were sloppy as hell and the build quality on CBS Fenders was suspect. Also, Jimi was playing on 7.25" radius necks and you can hear him choking notes when he bends them. But nobody is taking him off the top of the mountain because he played flawed guitars. He could make anything sound incredible.

[@malcolmbliss777]

@autodidacticprofessor869 just like Coltrane and Moon, you know 2 notes in that it's Jimi. He sounds like no one else.

[@user-zs7ri1qy1y]

Great Sounding ! Kool !

[@harrykenyon9262]

thanks dude, you just found the p/ups for my build

[@williamdon3442]

Such a beautiful guitar

[@DMSProduktions]

Your Slick is SICK! \m/

[@wjewell63]

Very nice man...👍✌️

[@TedCurran]

@GuitarFetishTV -- I'd love to see/hear a demo of your acoustic guitars and onboard preamps when you get a chance! I'm very intrigued by the systems that let you blend mic with piezo onboard the guitar, but want to hear how they sound through a PA!

[@mrnobodyinvr9762]

I've just found you guys, and ordered and SBS guitar to check out your stuff, but now, I'm getting interested in doing some art builds, customs, and replica stuff. Do you offer your neck with reversed headstocks? Will you be selling the SBS line in parts as bodies and necks? I'd Love to be able to get those and do up a bunch of YT clips here showing my builds.

[@mr.mcmagpie6606]

Must be nice to "poke around" the factory buyout section and get dibs on the good stuff...

[@jimliberty4132]

I've bought several parts and xaviere guitar from guitar fetish and have been very happy with everything. I would love to see the relic process also more custom builds. How about a build installing a double locking trem on a strat guitar????

[@AncientMarinerYT]

Looks great - sounds really bright & spikey. Is that how it was to play, or is that just down to the recording?

[@Thecarolinapiper]

Still waiting on the in depth build video been wanting to do something like this for a while with gfs stuff but would like to see the relic and build process first

[@KHGuitars]

I want that shirt!

[@RocknRollisDead1]

Ahh yess. The Pre worn/ripped jeans in guitar form.

[@kmatax9237]

nice!

[@buddhistpriest1357]

I tried Slick 65’s, GFS “Jimi” RS’s, GFS lipstick’s and GFS gold foil’s in my 62’ slab neck super parts Strat. The slicks were on a level above the rest. I found some Duncan SD288(?) pickups that rate at a vintage output 5.6, 5.8, 6.0 so I’ll give them a whirl. All I’m looking for is Hendrix/SRV tones with Mark Knoffler blending capability’s that are instantly identifiable no matter what I play. Is that too much to ask?

[@josh661]

Can you do one with the paisley body? I’ve been wanting to build one like that but I’ve been kinda skeptical

[@hotrod54chevy]

Please, sir, may I have some more? 🥺

[@JPCustomGuitars]

No way he got that neck in the factory buyout section

[@GuitarfetishTV]

Necks like that usually don't last very long before someone snatches it up, but you'd be surprised by what comes through that section.
