Welcome to part 3! This thing sounds surprisingly good, and is incredibly fun to play!

[@dcbclawrence8687]

Darrell Braun Guitar 🎸 you’ve inspired me in guitar.. I’ve watched and I’ve learned

[@kamarienedwards1757]

Darrell Braun Guitar I built my first guitar for a school project and it was awesome, it was my first electric and I play it all the time, it’s a strat kit from the fret wire

[@michaelhamerin3814]

Get rid of that gasket for the neck plate. They dampen the contact with the body. Otherwise, nice looking build.

[@OllieRamone]

Excellent work. Looks and sound great.

[@chalinbrown5249]

Dont do Instagram but sure looks fun.

[@baumfr]

Love ya, Darrell (and that bridge pickup), but I'm old (Level 60). So I won't be signing up for Instagram. Good luck to everyone else.

[@tammycoates7816]

I don't have Instagram myself:( I might sign up though because all the giveaways you have to have Instagram darn it!

[@ep7915]

Level 60, I love it lol

[@RC32Smiths01]

Amazing Finale to this Jazzmaster Showcase! I might even enter the giveaway because how ye represented it! Awesome work as always man!

[@realjumper]

Great job!! I'm so impressed with the bog standard assembly results that you and Brad seem to get with Solo kits. Very, very impressive!

[@1980bwc]

Those P90's sound surprisingly nice for el cheapo's. Of course a tube amp works magic for most any guitar. Lol. She looks good DB. Good color choice.

[@Steven_SK]

This has been a fun “adventure” watching it all come together. Excellent video Darrell. I have been following Solo for a short time and you have given me the courage to try a build of my own.

[@johnnybaird2687]

Very cool guitar! I love your videos! I’m a beginner and I’ve learned so much from watching your channel. Thanks and keep up the good work buddy!

[@LargeNuts]

Love your videos man! Just a lil tip from a guy who's been soldering for 15 years. Don't hold your iron on the contacts so long. Soon as your solder touches it should melt almost instantly, then just pull the iron off. It's very easy to burn up a pot or switch.

[@acfiv1421]

There is a special place in hell for the inventor of phillips head screws. I can understand using them 50-100 years ago, but we have so many screw heads available that won't strip as easy (square-head, hex-head etc), ESPECIALLY on something like a guitar or a computer case, which can reasonably be expected to be re-opened every once in a while). If I were to build a guitar, I would use square-head screws, and the customer would appreciate the attention to making maintenance/upgrades easy. OK, rant mode off... 🤬

[@caitlinros4491]

When you switched to that clean tone I was blown away! Crazy how much money you can save with a little time and hard work

[@louisanthony266]

Man this series makes me smile. I loooove jazz masters. I’m actually working on my own jazz master project currently. I bought a squire jazzmaster and I’m going to completely mod it out. Pickups, tuning machines and bridge. Super excited. Love your vids man.

[@DarrellBraunGuitar]

Good luck on your build!

[@WesternWearEnthusiast]

It sounds great as it is but can’t wait to hear it after all the upgrades. It’s bound to be awesome.

[@3cardmonty602]

I built the same kit. I did upgrade the Nut to a Tusq Nut because I kept getting a Sitar Sound even after some nut slot work on the original nut. I also upgraded the tuners because they’re kind of cheap. I did leave the stock pickups in. I like them, so hey - I kept them.

[@brandonthompson8640]

i got the TUSQ too for the same high pitched ringing. even when im fretting the strings its still there and driving me crazy. just need to do it now haha. Player Series Strat is still great though.

[@davidagnew4470]

Been waiting for this video...I love your channel man..great stuff

[@davidagnew4470]

Totally awesome

[@koybuscho5880]

I’m just now finishing my jassmaster that I’ve been building from barn wood, and this video sowed me what I need to do for wiring! Thank you so much!

[@unfair_potato]

Yay Darrell! Vicarious build joy coming through - what a winner, sounds Great!

[@DBSG1976]

Great finale to this guitar build, the stain job looks incredible. These kits "seems" like an easier option than Warmoth...Surf Green Jazzmaster, perhaps?

[@howlin6521]

Not easier just cheaper . . .

[@johnvroman245]

Followed both you and solo music gear on the old Instagram. Love your channel Darrell! You have the best and most thorough reviews on KZbin! Love the way this jazzmaster turned out.

[@Aikidoman06]

I love this channel. I don't play, but my son does. He has two acoustic guitars, mandolins and ukulele. He wants an electric now so I have been exploring building one. He wants a Red Special, but I think I'll start with a Strat kit. Your channel has given me in information I need to get started. Thanks

[@shmooless3699]

If I were you I’d get a used Fender strat and take it to a guitar shop to have it set up and polished

[@harmen4844]

I love this kit to be honest and the way you put detail to things makes it even more interesting

[@rayschoch5882]

Nicely done, Darrell! Very thorough walk-through, as usual, and I agree - it sounds pretty amazing for a kit guitar.

[@MikeLee-lg5vq]

Gotta love Darrell's very Canadian way of saying "tones"! I'm currently living in North Dakota, and they talk the same way! Great video, and great guitar!

[@David__]

Impressive tone! Keen to hear some back-to-back comparisons with the OG + your upgraded model. Thanks for sharing Darrell :)

[@Digger927]

Great, now the Jazzmaster kit will also be sold out like the spalted maple kit you built a while back. I was just looking at that one earlier today. These series are so much fun to watch. I can't play a guitar at all but I love to build stuff.

[@Gottaloveguitars427]

Great video, I love the colour of the stain with the red pick guard. It sounds great too! Thanks for showing us all the steps in the build in detail, I learned a lot.

[@howardanderson3061]

I'm loving everything you do on your channel...I am definitely getting the Jazzmaster kit and I'm going to build it with my son. I'm very impressed with Solo's parts, measurements and overall quality, everything really fits! Thanks for sharing this...And the Les Paul style guitar kit also looks awesome...

[@randywhitaker8828]

Darrell it looks great and sounds pretty cool. You did an awesome job. Can’t wait to see more.

[@MelanieLovesDeathMetal]

Beautiful guitar. Just checked out solo guitars site and def going to build my own tele now. Super pumped.

[@Thepeoplecollection]

Played this guitar in 2/3 shows I played this weekend. It plays great and I love coming back here to see it be put together - thanks, james from The People Collection

[@TheWillmat]

I really like the colours. Looks like an amazing guitar. I have never concidered a Jazzmaster

[@vileguile4]

Finally!!! Any morning with new video from DBG and fresh coffee is a good morning! 😴🌛=>📺🎸😁+☕=>😊🌞

[@phosphene6145]

i've been hyped for the build ever since you said you would soup it up!!

[@LucasCrossleyGuitar]

Killer buddy well done! Followed both you and solo. Cheers!!

[@thethesaxman23]

Thumbs up on the nitty gritty!!! Fun video!

[@kathrynhobbs1082]

Hey Darrell yet another great build. Can't wait to see all the upgrades. I'LL be ordering the same kit shortly, unless of course I get lucky enough to win your beauty. I love the Solo DIY kits, great company! Thanks for all your time, it's much appreciated! MIKE.

[@TMats100]

I learned a lot watching these three videos, Darrell. Thank you

[@ianmiller4195]

Finally I've been waiting for this!

[@diegodahbura1045]

Been waiting for this, congrats

[@shaunw9270]

Amazing kit 👍 Can't wait to see what you do to it .

[@michaelconnerlone5668]

Great build Darrell, it sounds amazing.

[@danksenpai3226]

Wow it has to be amazing to play that beauty, nice work as always! love your videos.

[@JK-ke8go]

finally a new video, I love your channel

[@isaaclavigne7905]

Love the JM clean sound. Definitely my favorite tone of the strat tele and jm

[@Shemairckz28]

Love this type of guitar, sounds so incredible and excellent, wishing to have some like this. hats off!!

[@danterosales6985]

Heck yeah, been looking forwards to this

[@74dartman13]

Spend a fraction compared to buying a name brand guitar, learn all kinds of new skills, add your free labor, and you've got something that looks and plays amazingly! Doesn't get a whole lot better than that. Super satisfying!👍😎🎸🎶

[@johntoner2120]

Been waiting for this!!!

[@MarcCoteMusic]

That looks great, Darrell. It seems this is good value for money for the DIY types out there.

[@domenicreyes4756]

I’m learning so much from you. I can’t wait to hopefully build my own

[@wilsonkok4754]

Those pickups are really awesome, and great job with the fretwork!

[@paulslims5870]

Dude that guitar has awesome tone & it STAYS in tune ! , nice playing Player .

[@jasong546]

Hey awesome job! I am so glad you did this, because I learned of the company now, and they have kits I can afford. I was wanting a project but things were costing too much. Great job Darrell!

[@richardshort4587]

Lots of tone variations and pickups sound awesome

[@Furtheronmusic]

Really impressed with that kit. Sounds really good "out of the box"

[@krishnakumar5818]

Absolutely Stunning!!!

[@allmostbrothers]

Yeah super awesome 👍 great take on a classic

[@Verum_X]

all i want, that finish, that shape, that tone!

[@malcolmalexanderbigddixon3286]

Jazzmaster is by far my favorite guitar

[@jamlemon]

Can’t wait to see and hear the upgrades. Just followed on insta as I want that guitar!

[@sebastianleitonmaldonado7889]

Cant wait to see the upgrades !!

[@monkymonk6]

Very detailed video! Two thumbs up!

[@pamcarr4003]

Wow great job Darrell! I just received my Jazzmaster kit yesterday, so going to hang on to this vid! Lol! Thanks Darrell ! Pam

[@Necromanos]

I like it already. Gonna be great with the upgrades!

[@B_Main]

Wow that build is amazing, looks good sounds good!!!

[@JaydenRideout]

Looks AMAZING

[@glennchamberlain5056]

Great job with the build! Sounded and looked awesome! I hope to be able to play as well as you do one day.

[@ThePermacultureStudent]

THANK YOU MY SON WILL LOVE THIS!!!

[@nickydef]

Very cool guitar! Nice work, as always!

[@BTsMusicChannel]

This looks like a great way to learn more about the internals of electric guitars. You made a guitar from pre-fab parts, and once you do a couple of these kits, I bet you get a great understanding of how to build and repair instruments. Awesome! I could learn how to work on my Jaguars. :D

[@carlparker3571]

Wow! other than the vol pot, I'm super impressed with the kit. It really looks good as well. Great job.

[@fusionmaddox8263]

So awesome to watch this build. Love the jazz master shape. If i dont win this, im going to build one maybe with a black pick guard. definitely inspired

[@eupraxis1]

Love that sound!!!

[@jomyrnicoalfaro1842]

love that looks and tone

[@liamirwin9933]

Looks and sounds great!

[@paramediccpo]

Done following both of you , :-) never used instagram much, I guess I will now Love your T-shirts I can see me buying one

[@caseyking8394]

Love the cutaways!

[@josuegomez4470]

Ultra quality guitar darrel

[@mightyV444]

The happy, content look on your face at around 17:45 made me smile, too! :-)) Great job, Darrell! :-)

[@mightyV444]

PS: And I agree: It does sound awesome already like that! :-)

[@mightyV444]

PPS: Don't forget to put your signature on the back of the headstock (or maybe even on the front, where a decal would normally be) before giving it away! :-))

[@fedequellovero2877]

I absolutely love this, the jazzmaster is my favorite guitar and I think you were able to make an astonishing good (and good looking) one. I'm definitely joining the giveaway

[@LarryMar]

It came out great!

[@bofuscrapshaw]

Sounded really good to me!

[@Terry3Gs]

Nice job !! And it sounds good with P-90's in it !!

[@RevvS1k]

Thank you, thank you, ,thank you!!! I don't need to be a rocket scientist to build a guitar. Lol. Major thanks to you Darrell, for the love of your craft.....

[@aaryxn_s]

I have entered the giveaway😆 Btw, I love your vids and I can’t believe how good this guitar has turned out! Keep up the good work man!👍😁

[@the1khronohs40]

Man, that thing looks and sounds sweet! 😍

[@MikeCindyWhite]

Awesome! Congrats bro, She looks and sounds amazing!!! I was just on there site and I'm eye-balling that SG style double neck (I've always wanted one just couldn't afford it) It's only 300 bucks!! I built an acoustic from scratch a few years ago so I definitely have the confidence, Wow, 300 bucks! I showed my wife and she said now I know what to get you for your birthday! So cool I can't wait to build a double neck!!! Super cool, thanks for sharing the Solo site bro 🎸🎸👍

[@ThunderBassistJay]

Very clear instructions! The guitar sounds a bit out of balance, but not too bad for stock components at that price level. Excited to hear the upgraded version.

[@luisenriquelopez191]

Sounds Great!!

[@philipperingard4406]

Sounds surprisingly pretty good

[@user-yp492]

Both are followed already...lol...sounds amazing, that stain work is amazing, cant say anything bad for sure

[@jettbenedict8443]

Hey man great job looks grate ur doing something amazing with ur chanel hope to see more great job man have a good one

[@FreesyTube]

Done following both of you! Can't wait to see the results 🙌

[@worshipgeek]

Now that's what I call "authentic"!

[@truckercowboyed2638]

See what you did there! Well played

[@dragonstorm8171]

Ive never been much of a jazzmaster fan, but the way you presented it makes me want it! Plus, knowing it was put together by the famous "Darrell Braun" makes it that much better. Hell, if i were to win it, I'd have you sign the headstock! I already follow you on instagram, gonna head over now and follow Solo =)

[@andrelp9596]

It does sound pretty good!

[@fisiosaiter]

Sounds good and has character.👍

[@mikemce899]

Hey, Darrell Waiting for Fed X to deliver my first DIY kit. It will be a StrataBuild SSH. If all goes well, your JazzMaster will be my next kit. Your build came out with total AWESOMIDITY! Love your show, learning a lot THANKS 🎸!

[@Thejayfrancis]

Done and done! Fingers crossed! Love kit videos! Do another Warmoth build! It’d be cool to see one done with their own styles or maybe a mix and match of parts you find on ebay! Your builds are awesome bro!

[@jcoulter43]

Never been a huge fan of Jazzmasters. But, you have begun to change my mind (your playing has had a lot to do with that). Solo appears to make a very nice kit with good quality control. A bright 50's color would be my choice for my kit if I build one. The stock pickups sound really good. Looking forward to your comparison video. I don't do Instagram, so good luck to those who enter the giveaway. God bless and rock on! 😎🎸👏

[@DennisMurphey]

outstanding exercise I am psyched up to try one. wanted the Jag or Jazz look to match an old Murphy I saw in California. Needs a Gretsch neck though.

[@thedondeluxe6941]

Looks great! Like the sort of Jazzmaster/Strat hybrid look.
