Who knew they used mayonnaise on pre CBS Fender's?!

[@michaeldoerksen2841]

And here I thought it was just a Norwegian trick

[@hkguitar1984]

Amazing, thank you for sharing. So gracious of Mr. Furuheim to open his shop and share his time with us. I was born in 1962 and am currently assembling myself a 1962 spec Stratocaster! Thanks for your content, I'm a new subscriber and wish you the very best with your new guitar.

I think you mean they PLAYED "Mayonnaise" on a pre-CBS Fender. (That's a Smashing Pumpkins joke 😂🤣)

[@zenmaestro04]

This might be one of my favorite videos I've ever watched on KZbin. Beautifully shot. I would venture to say there's more care and attention to detail put into this guitar than the originals he's trying to replicate.

[@randa4382]

Being that the originals were built more for their modular approach than the idea that they were exceptionally highend instruments... they were tools to do a job... that was the outlook at the time so there was no reverence in their approach to what they were doing building the original strats and teles. They were made withas many mass production methods as possible for that express purpose. So im sure youre absolutely correct there.

[@invisibleone2227]

Same

[@Turboy65]

A single builder who loves what he's doing is SURE to build a better instrument than a bunch of workers who are there at the factory making guitars by the hundreds because there's a paycheck on Friday. This is true even if I do feel that strats and fenders in general are HIGHLY overrated.

[@brucecaldwell6701]

Having built a strat replica once myself that turned out to be half ass ok, I can say it's a highly rewarding experience, especially when you play it for the first time.

[@joejones9520]

Somehow, I would think that Leo would be knocked out about a man in Norway, faithfully recreating a 1962 Stratocaster. You Sir, are a extremely gifted builder. Thank you for sharing this!

[@dclipper8052]

I think he would dwell on how extremely inefficient it is.

[@Bellabaddi]

@@sillysausage4549 yea, I’m impressed but I think you’re right about Leo. They cranked out a ton of guitars.

[@shovelheadseven]

@@Bellabaddi If this were to apply himself to production he would produce more guitars in one month than Leo did all year. I know he has access to CNC machines which is an unfair comparison but even with pin routers this guy would be ahead. He is ultra efficiently structured and methodical. He doesn't make one move that isn't productive.

[@ArminAdams]

What a great looking & playing Stratocaster. I pull my hat to the craftmanship, this "hobby builder" blows most luthiers out of the water. The film is fantastic, too. Thank you!

[@davidgagnon2849]

I've watched this before, but it showed up in the queue again. I will always watch it as it's a wonderful video and build.

[@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer]

Wow, congratulations. That gentleman built you a superb guitar. I would have liked to seen some nice close up shots of the finished instrument. He really knocked it out of the park. Not only does it sound fantastic but the job he did to get the hue of a 60 year old shell pink lacquer finish is totally spot on. I'm fortunate enough to know someone who owns an early 1962, slab board, shell pink Fender Jaguar with matching head stock that his father ordered from Fender and kept all those years and passed on to him. I can tell you pretty definitively that the shell pink finish you have here on this Strat is practically identical from what I can tell in the video. It's not an easy thing to accomplish for _any_ color, particularly shell pink.

[@lowqualityguitarvideos]

You can tell how resonant it is and how open the pickups are; great detail to the overtones and tons of spank.

[@connor7603]

I’m not even two minutes in and this guy radiates love for his craft, him

[@Tord79]

As a lefty guitar player, it’s hard to fine really great instruments. I live in Norway and have to go to England to test out Custom shop guitars. In my search for my dream guitar i have tried out 20-30 custom shop guitars and only one was really great (none of them were bad) In the pandemic there wasn’t much air traffic so i got lucky to get pinehome build me a lefty golden era strat. The guitar is the best strat i have ever played. I hope he have spare time to build me another guitar some day. But with the quality he delivers and great movies that shows his guitars to the world, i think his waiting list would be long. Takk til deg Tom for at jeg ikke trenger å prøve custom shop gitarer lenger😎

[@pinehome_guitars]

Wow!! Takk til deg også! Veldig hyggelige ord! 🙂

[@Tord79]

@Ryan same price as a right handed, I am not sure if Pinehome like me to put out the prices. But if you ask i think he will answer you. I also live in the same country and picked up the guitar myself, no shipping cost. Also I don’t know how it would be with taxes to other countries, and if it is shipped outside Norway i am not sure if you get the Norwegian taxes in return before you pay tax in your own country. But all i can say about the price, i think it was a really fair price. All the knowledge behind the build, top quality woods etc.

Great job on that build and as a guitarist and guitar builder I also agree that Leo got it right from the beginning with his electric guitar platforms.

[@RickFoxx777]

Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship. I have played on stage in one venue or another and have built many strat's, Lp's and acoustic guitar kits. It all started years ago with modifying my guitars for stage and then putting together and painting/relicing parts casters. I just love to paint and relic them. However, I have never built anything as great as this strat that you have built from scratch. I stand in awe of you and your talent sir. Good job. Please keep up the good work. Just my 2 cents worth. Peace.

[@JeremyBeut]

Amazing video ! Props to the builder for the beautiful work he puts out, and props to you for your playing 😊

[@brendanokeefemusic-]

Amazing video! Unbelievable craftsmanship! FYI the “clay dots” we’re actually asbestos tile that was part of the floor in the original Fullerton factory. When doing an addition the floor was peeled up and being thrown away. Because Leo Fender was super frugal he told the workers to save the tile because it could be used for something lol They ended up using it for fretboard markers the “clay dot”

[@pinehome_guitars]

Thats a new one!! 😀

[@sveinpedersenguitar]

what a beautiful fucking video. i know it probably took shit tons of effort to make - which shows in the final result, and i would looooooove to see more videos like this. Maybe ask more of our Norwegian guitar-related creators like; Oslo Instrumentfabrikk, Nebelung, Bråk, Pyu Pyu, Pladask Elektrisk etc etc. create your own small documentary series. they need more recognition, and you need to make more videos like this!

[@LivingroomGearDemos]

Absolutely something I should do! But yeah, it's a bit time-consuming. Not impossible though!

[@floattheboat100]

Random, this is literally the second comment I’ve ever left in the whole history of the Internet from a 51 year old dude… Obviously the guitar is perfect, the playing of it at the end? I’ve been a musician my whole life and been in many studios and worked in a few. the way you play that guitar and the discipline in everything every technique was so rare, but not too precious (I once heard a wise produce say), this didn’t remove the fun and vitality. It was just inspiring and being around music so much, live it’s fun obviously and you’re driven to it for a reason, but it really wears thin it’s like going home and talking about your work all night after leaving the job you kind of want to get away. But hearing that? I guess the biggest thing was tempo and just staying true to it, the percussive side of the string slapping was just so spot on it sounded like an app but with feeling alive. I could really go on forever about it it was freaking awesome. Very very disciplined but yet still very personal without sounding automated. Just think how many people say they’re good musicians and I don’t express it outwardly but the rolling of the eyes, quick learner even spend Manny Manny Manny years and time on the guitar, crap You bridge out those chord fingerrings so good you could probably bend strings all three steps out and make it sound Perfectly intonated..OK I take that back yes you could do that but probably even with no strings and using old shoelaces, or long spaghetti noodles already cooked or… Lol.. OK OK may be a stretch but for sure at least after that little fat kid with the gooey hands and face he’s not even old enough to walk or talk but smart enough to find your guitar well hidden away and you only find him after it slathered in gout and he had his way with the hey what are those pretty shiny things for on their headstock?… very cool, good product, hard work and obviously a great family. Respect given, Mucho.

For years I've been saying I would love to be an airline pilot and also build guitars when I'm not in the sky...having said that, it's wild to stumble upon this video. This was filmed so well...I was blown away by the finished product...I would buy one of your builds in a heartbeat.

[@shovelheadseven]

I have built around 2,000 guitars and this guy did as good of a job as any of the famous boutique builders. He should come to Los Angeles and setup shop. He will have to redesign his head stock shape to satisfy Fender. Apparently Fender don't remember when they were heavily "inspired" by Paul Bigsby. Bigsby had the Merle Travis which looks a bit similar to a Strat. He had another that looks like what became the Esquire. 6 in line tuners were unique at the time along with tremelos. Throughout the following decade Fender released instruments that incorporated these elements with some slight differences. Pick up selector as well. Not only did Leo enjoy Bigsbys designs so did Gibson and Rickenbacker. I like this guys approach of not acting like building a Strat is such a grand accomplishment and think it is valued at several thousand dollars. Although seriously if he so desired he could jump into the mix and be successful building those like he built. Just a minor head stock alteration if any are left. His only variance was the 2 way truss rod which technically could be seen as an improvement. This is an amazingly well put together video.

Wow! 2000 guitars?? How long have you been doing this for?? Thats amazing!!
