Partscaster MADNESS - I Finished the Ultimate Tele Project

[@dianemcadamsmsdianepetrama464]

You composed your own music you literally sound like Andy Summers playing. Very talented sir.❤

[@MichaelLagerstedt]

Thanks so much Diane. 😉 Happy you enjoyed it. Also thanks for commenting 😀🙏

[@kenhowto]

Awesome video series! I didn't expect I would find a tutorial on this exact, very niche guitar-I have a bad feeling I'm going to jump down this rabbit hole. 😂

[@MichaelLagerstedt]

Do it 👍😃 Thanks so much for watching 🙏🏻😉

[@mikemorrisonmusic]

I did this same thing back in 2008. I love my Andy Summers Tele!

[@MichaelLagerstedt]

Amazing… did you relic it ? - I couldn’t do that unfortunately. Hey thanks so much for watching and taking time to comment 🙏🏻👍😃

[@mikemorrisonmusic]

@@MichaelLagerstedt no, I left it as is and it was new back in 2008. The binding has yellowed and it looks vintage now. 😀

[@anthonystuart0708]

Fabulous well done I might even try it

[@MichaelLagerstedt]

Thanks so much… 😃🙏🏻 Hope you do it… I have already made all the mistakes 😉 Thanks so much for watching and taking time to comment 😃🙏🏻

That's a fantastic build and a guitar you will enjoy for years to come. Great playing too!

[@MichaelLagerstedt]

Thanks so much Benny. And thanks for watching and for such a nice comment 😃🙏🏻

[@MrTimdriver]

Nice.

[@matthewjohnloren1995]

For me this layout was such a mystery. Mainly because of the pot values. Thanks for uploading this build!

Matt, you are welcome… thanks so much for watching 🙏🏻😃.

@@MichaelLagerstedt Thank you for responding. I have subscribed to your channel and I have watched a few more videos. Your content is great and I can tell that the benefits will be great. I might even develop the nerve to do something big on one of my guitars! Well, eventually I will. For now, I have purchased some copper foil tape for my Telecaster, so I will start out with that! 😁 Thanks again, my friend!

I used a classic vibe bound body for the one I did, it already had the humbucker rout in as standard.

[@MichaelLagerstedt]

Again, thanks so much for your support 😃🙏🏻

[@rikkousa]

I bought one from The Painted Player…they make replicas of the iconic guitars WHSE love…including this one. My next one is to get a Pete Townshend LP Custom has two switches added plus extra knobs for the addition of the new pickup in the middle (super distortion. I bought a LP with two mini humbug keys but c nicked out after I saw everything involved in making one…back to TPP and saving up for it!

[@MichaelLagerstedt]

I didn’t know about The Painted Player. Looks really interesting 👍😃. Thanks for watching 😃🙏🏻

[@jurgenzoller4407]

Excellent work Michael...I really enjoy your builds and videos...easy watching, educational and entertaining.

[@MichaelLagerstedt]

Thanks so much Jürgen. I’m happy you liked the video. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment 😃🙏🏻

[@Boleskinebeatz]

Congratulations excellent work looks and sounds really good. Out of interest why did you opt for not cutting the real Telecaster headstock shape?

[@MichaelLagerstedt]

Hey, thanks so much for watching and taking time to comment… 😃🙏🏻 Well I made my own headstock when I built my two first guitars (check out the playlists 😉👍) and I just wanted to stick with that. Also I don’t want anyone to think I’m trying to pass this guitar off as a real Fender.

[@garyp5522]

Real cool guitar. Looks and sounds great.

[@MichaelLagerstedt]

Thanks Gary 😃… and thanks for taking the time to comment 🙏🏻😉

Aha. I m not the only person who hacks a pick guard with a knife !!!! Nice job man

Good to know we are two 🤣 Thanks so much for watching 🙏🏻😃

[@laranjiinha77]

How is that bridge holding in sustain and tone from abm, are you enjoying it? Is it worth the money? Thanks!

[@MichaelLagerstedt]

Hi Marco. I’m enjoying the guitar and as a part of that the bridge. It’s super well made and hand crafted. High quality. Like German cars. Pretty expensive but still less than for instance Mastry bridge and vibrato. I feel I can recommend this bridge. Thanks so much for watching and commenting 😃🙏🏻

[@fenson6738]

Considering what I was talking about last time, you don't have ground issue because you didn't mount the pickup on the bridge but directly in the wood. So all you have to do to be sure that any issue can occur is that the pickup baseplate don't touch anything that is grounded. 4:38 It's weird. You shouldn't have any noises when touching the pickup cover , even if the pickguard shielding is not correctly grounded. There's an issue somewhere, you should check the pickup wiring.

[@MichaelLagerstedt]

Hi Fenson It’s great advice… I’ll try to check that out 😃👍

[@MichaelLagerstedt]

Hi Fenson You were very right on the pickup wiring. I tried different things and it turned out that I had to redo some of the wiring for the neck pickup and that also solved the noise issue. Thanks again for your great input and advice 🙏🏻😃 Mic

[@lindamcguigan5989]

A Top loader bridge would have saved you a lot of hassle love the build and that boost wow keep them coming I can't wait too hear it with a Chorus or a phaser Thanks

[@MichaelLagerstedt]

Hi Linda, you are right but the body had the string through holes already and the Andy Summers tele had them too so - I had to take the hard road 😉. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment 🙏🏻😃

[@lindamcguigan5989]

@@MichaelLagerstedt You sure did Michael

[@KaneGregory]

Instead of a extra knob and switch I wonder if you can use fenders S1 switch on both the volume and tone to give it the boost?🎸🤯🔫

[@lorenztheuer]

There not enough space for 2 S1 switches in a standard sized cut out

[@vittoriorossi6339]

what is the sponge under the pick up for?

[@MichaelLagerstedt]

Good question. It was actually to push the pickup up so I would be able to control the hight with the screws that are going into the body, but turns out that it also isolates the bottom plate of the pickup from the shielding paint. and by the way thanks for watching 😉🙏🏻

[@abdulal-hodl8861]

Nice! But why connect ground shielding to brass bridge?

[@MichaelLagerstedt]

Hi Abdula, Why shouldn’t I ground a brass bridge ? Hey, Thanks so much for watching 😃👍

[@abdulal-hodl8861]

@@MichaelLagerstedt Because brass isn't conductive and won't serve as a ground?

[@abdulal-hodl8861]

Nevermind, I was thinking of something else

[@MichaelLagerstedt]

@@abdulal-hodl8861it’s true that it’s not as conductive as silver and gold but it is leading currant… anyway, I didn’t even think about that, I just did it. But thanks for raising an interesting question to be explored 😃👌

Scuff it up

[@MichaelLagerstedt]

Hey thanks for watching. I would love to scuff it up if it wasn’t for the fact that the finish is polyurethane and not nitrocellulose. A poly finish won’t look like the original relic so I decided not to do it 😉👍
