Did I REALLY Break the Giveaway Guitar ALREADY!?

[@crmartin1]

Nice upgrade and I love those solderless connectors.

[@GuitarGoomba]

Thanks. There is a link in the description if you need some.

[@3d_davej]

That guitar looks sweet

[@GuitarGoomba]

Thanks

[@rklegrand]

Nice save!

[@GuitarGoomba]

One does what one must.

[@74dartman13]

Good luck with the arm! I know it can be difficult. Broke my femur in a cycle wreck in the early 90's. They thought I'd walk with a limp...proved em wrong! Stick with the pt! Good luck!👍😎🎸🎶

[@GuitarGoomba]

Will do. Doctors told me I'd never walk (let alone ride) again after I got rather broken racing motocross when I was a kid. Not only did I walk and ride, I became a professional motorcycle rider.

[@74dartman13]

@@GuitarGoomba that's awesome! Hopefully you'll play again soon! Good luck!☺

@@74dartman13 I'm working on it.

Can't go wrong with Alnico.

[@GuitarGoomba]

Nope. You can choose different Alnico magnets and alter the tone. That will be in a future build series.

[@davidcastle3292]

Good info! Cool rig. Winner is announced....on my birthday! Dare to dream

[@GuitarGoomba]

That would be a kick ass birthday present. If you haven't subscribed, do that, then go back and like and comment on all of the earlier videos for the maximum number of entries.

[@spaz4774]

Excited to hear what it’s gonna sound like, especially with the better pickup in place. I like watching the nuts and bolts of guitar building and feel better prepared to eventually build one myself. Didn’t know about the couplings you showed. That’s a smart way to join the wires.

[@GuitarGoomba]

It also keeps the moisture out of the connection. There is a link in the description for the connectors if you need some.

[@respondersfirst3364]

Great tip

[@GuitarGoomba]

Thank you!

[@greggraffeo4951]

I never thought about how much work goes into building a guitar but you definitely make it look fairly easy. Great looking guitar.

[@GuitarGoomba]

There are a lot of steps, but these kits make it simple.

[@geekymetalhead4982]

That’s cool

[@heymishy5245]

The begging hurt me lot, but it was for something good so...really cool! Cool upgrade!! You are so talented, I don’t have the patience to build an entire guitar lol

[@GuitarGoomba]

Once the body is stained or painted, the assembly can easily be done in a day.

[@jasoneshelman8746]

This is great. I love doing my own upgrades to my guitars. I’ve never used that kind of connector before.

[@GuitarGoomba]

I do a lot of work on cars and it is generally used for that.

[@MStone-im1mu]

Nicely done, cool fix👍🏼

[@GuitarGoomba]

Thank you.

[@fabioasramos]

That's great! I was wondering about the stock pickups. The solderless idea seems great for a less messy and dangerous way of fixing wires in a guitar! Can't wait to hear it.

[@GuitarGoomba]

You and me both.

[@garrettodonnell4177]

That's a really cool trick that I didn't know. I still suck at soldering despite having built LOTS of heathkits as a kid, so glad to now have this one up my sleeve. Also even more anxious to find out who won this now that you've upgraded it. Alnico V is some glorious stuff.

[@GuitarGoomba]

And that pickup was only $15 from Amazon.

[@garrettodonnell4177]

No kidding. I just paid $88 for a set of... something. And don't I feel like a dope. :)

[@TheKaameleon]

Nice upgrade, and slick easy splicing solution that doesn't require soldering skills.

[@GuitarGoomba]

Just wait, I will be demonstrating some soldering when I either do a kit that isn't pre-terminated or do a scratch build.

[@cowboyjudd69]

Nice looking guitar buddy

[@cowboyjudd69]

And you look like you are getting better

[@GuitarGoomba]

Thanks man.

[@georgelackey622]

Those connectors look like a simple fix if soldering isn't your strong suit.

[@GuitarGoomba]

They are very useful.

Guitar looks nice, good video, except for audio, love the channel

[@GuitarGoomba]

What part of the audio was an issue?

[@cristiansalas443]

@@GuitarGoomba the audio was mainly on my left side, might've been me I dont know

[@GuitarGoomba]

I might have forgotten to equalize part of it.

[@zgoume]

I've seen a comment about Guns n Guitars, i was going to say "I've already seen pot knobs like these on another channel ;)"

[@GuitarGoomba]

Did he do a set? I haven't seen that episode.

[@zgoume]

Guitar Goomba he does it on a bunch of guitars and made à video about how to do it

[@GuitarGoomba]

I will have to check that out. He might have a better way of doing it than I do.

[@zombylogos8056]

Is that guitar your making be considered Stressed?

[@GuitarGoomba]

I believe the industry term is "reliced". I prefer to say "pre-loved."

[@phillipledford]

HAHAHA, good one , I zipped right over and was like WHAAAAAT?

[@s.trottier3239]

Nice upgrade indeed. I do like the solder kits. Going to have to get me some of those.

[@GuitarGoomba]

Well, I did actually break it, so the title wasn't really clickbait.

[@GuitarGoomba]

There is a link to the ones I used in the video description.

[@GuitarGoomba]

I linked the kit I used in the description.

[@sigmund3023]

Just out of curiosity, but do you know who Guns and Guitars is? He’s a KZbinr who does somewhat similar content to yours.

[@GuitarGoomba]

I watch his stuff all of the time.

[@Generatingmoments]

Me

[@GuitarGoomba]

Yes. You.

[@conorbelvin9024]

What brand is the pickup?

[@GuitarGoomba]

Fleor. It was $15 from Amazon. There is a link in the description.

[@jpement]

Haha bit of a scare with that title!

[@GuitarGoomba]

Well, I did break it. The cool thing about being able to build guitars is that you can fix them and you learn from your mistakes.
