The reason they don’t drill the holes for the pickguard is to allow you to center it once the guitar is all put together. E.G., line up the pickups to the strings, center it on the bridge, etc. It should be a last step.

Great job. One thing I learned from past experience with rattle can paint jobs... after 6 months to a year you might get that orange peel affect after the gases all dissipate from the paint. No worries... just wet-sand the clear coat (I did 600-2000) and then hit it with the buffing compound again. Comes out perfect. Again, great job!! Keep up the great content. Thank you for your "educational" and and highly entertaining content.

If you don't want to get overspray on your camera, wrap it with cling film (I think you guys call it saran wrap) and stretch it tight over the lens. You can still operate all the buttons and stretched tight it won't affect the optics. I do this with my action camera on my RC models to keep them temporarily waterproof.

Really enjoyed the vid, thank you. And a good end result indeed. And to share; I bought a cheap China copy Strat but found the body to be a bit....square, so I took my orbital sander and softened the profile. I thinned the top edges, and - where the elbow slope is - contoured that more into the main body of the guitar. I made small adjustments all round but the end result was a very 'sensual' feeling guitar without losing the Strat character. And it was my Strat, quite unlike anyone else's Strat. If you do another kit build, try reshaping the body before the paint job. Just a suggestion to increase the fun! Thanks again for the vid, nice one.

Nice job! I've thought many times about building a kit guitar, but so far it hasn't happened. My main problem is not having access to a proper work area and suitable tools. I must say I'm a bit envious of your outdoor setup. Seems like a very nice way to spend a couple of days with an inspiring project, and it makes spray painting both easy and safe. I tried sanding away a really thick coat of lacquer from a cheap strat copy some time ago, but soon found out that my small kitchen wasn't a very suitable area for that. I initially didn't wear a face mask either, which was just all kinds of stupid. Well... live and learn... 😄

Thanks Mats. Yes, it is nice having room outside for building and stuff. With a lacquer finish, you can just scuff it up with some fine sand paper and just add a coat of primer right over the top, then paint it. Sanding off that old lacquer is a real pain. :)

Thanks Barry for the sub. I'm still working on this blue Strat kit, to give it a nicer aged look. Believe it or not it takes a bit of skill to make a distressed guitar look good as it is to make it look purdy. 😀

@Barry Haha, I'm with you there. I can't stand the trend toward paying more for guitars that are artificially aged. I understand that it takes skill to make it believable looking and that people like Tom (I think it's Tom, anyway) Murphy @ Gibson's "Murphy Labs" are artists in their own right, but the only way I see it as even a semi-legitimate undertaking is when they're making a copy of a particular artists "famous" guitar. Of course the legitimacy goes away for me when I look at the price tags that Gibson slaps on those guitars, but I guess if people are willing to pay $50,000 for a guitar like the "Green, Moore, Hammett" Les Paul where the limited edition of 50 sold out within hours I believe, it's not Gibson that I'm shaking my head about. P.T. Barnum was absolutely right. What's wrong with a pristine, new looking guitar? Hang onto it for a few years and play it and it'll end up looking distressed whether you really want it to or not. Sorry for rambling, you've just hit on a pet peeve of mine and I just don't think I will ever understand the trend toward paying more for what would have been a factory second back in the day. Now get off my lawn you damn kids! 😆

Hey Bob, I find sometimes cheap tuners will have a lot of play in them, meaning the gears slip a bit and the gears are not too smooth when turning them.

Love your videos! I've noticed that all of them seem to be in 480p resolution and it sure would be nice to see some of these guitar builds in a higher resolution so we can get a better idea of how the finishes look, etc. Any chance of you planning to upgrade the camera system? I'm not sure what you're using, but perhaps you just don't have it set to record at a higher resolution and it's already capable.
