Subscribe to Cathy! She'll love ya for it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYrHdqp6nMSLjdk

[@davidsummerville351]

Very interesting video she did, I had never seen how a pickup was made. Everyone should watch.

[@EbonyPope]

The tip of the headstock still isn't perfectly round. It is still a little oval where the "beak" used to be. I would sand it some more and use some higher grit to finish it. The surface still looks a little rough.

[@scarmyguitar]

@@EbonyPope Scarred baby! But you do you when you do it! ;)

[@EbonyPope]

@@scarmyguitar Well was just a recommendation. Would look better.

[@jameslanclos568]

In regards to the comment on the Telegram app, I don't have the Telegram app to reply, thanks though.

[@rustyshackleford9557]

Great job! This exactly why manufacturers make headstocks BIGGER rather than smaller than iconic shapes. You provide a valuable service, educating folks.

[@davidsummerville351]

I've seen worse headstocks on more expensive guitars. I don't have a problem with it. Nice job you did on that beak though!

[@davids2629]

Cough couch schecter

[@daviddaniels6473]

Exactly what that headstock needed!!

[@Noahinthe802]

If I was to only hear it without seeing it I’d think it’s at least an $800 guitar. Excellent playing too btw, sounds great!!

[@MashaT22]

#PayRaise4CathyScarMyPickups 😂😂😂 This guitar turned out great! Obviously the pickups are the star of the show! Great team effort by the Scarred crew! P.S. Sorry I missed you last night. Hopefully you saw my msg in the chat. I was watching my nieces and nephews for an evening, which is a lot for me to handle - thankfully they mostly cooperated, lol. It was impossible to hang out during the live show with four kids under age four here with me. The baby kept smashing the phone screen keyboard, lol. I did like last the stream night and will watch the replay later hopefully. 😊👍🏻

[@jeremybenfield4540]

Hello Shawn. I absolutely love watching you. I'm a beginner (7 months) guitar guy. I like playing and working on them. I have learned so much watching your channel. More than any others. I've learned how to do intonation, string changes and so much more. I want to say thank you for all your knowledge. I look forward everyday to see if you have a new video up. Im now working on my second floyd rose. I used all I learned watching you and ran with it. Even tho you don't do much with them, I learned the basics watching you. Keep up the great work. I hafta say yall (you and Kathy) are the best. I posted on her page. Great 1st show!!

[@oddshot60]

@2:15 THAT is EXACTLY the point. These easy-on-the-budget guitars have good necks on them, and are more than worth the investment. I've bought 2 of them and wasn't disappointed with either! And the next guy that tries to tell me about "tone wood" on a solid body guitar is gonna catch one in the head!

[@joestahl9102]

Cathy is legit her pickups sound great

[@edwardbrown4455]

Calling her ‘old lady’ -- I can see the iron skillet swinging! LOL! Nice guitar.

[@matthewf1979]

Those little Schatten winder/traverse kits are fantastic. I'm sure Kathy can do it by hand, but the kit makes it way easier.

[@scarmyguitar]

Makes them consistent without doubt!

[@DavidHBurkart]

I like your style on that headstock renovation... much, much better. Turned that parakeet into a Scarred swan!

[@toddstewart9922]

She might be a keeper making parts lime that. Lol

[@johny3barr]

Monster Sound from Scarred Pickups ! As Always Have a Great Sunday Sean, Cathy, & Everyone Scarred ...

[@n8iws484]

What a transformation Sean. Those pickups are killer. Trey nominated as the test driver, good choice. See Ya !!

[@jimcamp2423]

Maybe convert the bridge to a string thru from the top loader it is before you have Trey demo it live.? That one last mod. Honestly from the audio it sounded just fine as a top loader bridge.

[@jamessator5564]

WOW !!!! She did a FANTASTIC JOB on those pups !

[@freelove75]

My 50th birthday is two days from now! How do I get me a guitar with Kathy's pickups in it?

[@scarmyguitar]

You hit me up on Instagram or Facebook

[@doubleuseven]

That twang... I guess you play through a modeler? Anyhow, it really sounds awesome.

[@bronzesnake7004]

Broham you put together some really great axes! This channel is becoming one of my go to channels for all things guitar! I dig the tones your wife's pickups put out and I'm about to check out and sub to her channel also. What a cool couple! You got yourself a beautiful talented woman there bro, just like I do! My Dawn laid her peepers on me the very first time over 40 years ago when my band was performing in a little Southern Ontario town she was from called Beeton! She told her sister and their two friends she was gonna marry me and they all laughed their asses off. She basically found out we had a mutual friend, which was fluky as I was from Toronto and had just moved North to a different small town North of where she was from, then she pretty much stocked me and two years later we were married! LOL! We've been married 40 years as of March 1st. I had a daughter when we met, and we have three sons the eldest is 38 which is weird because Dawn claims to be 20!! OH! Anyway, I do dig the channel!! Take care bro!! Jack ~'()'~ Canada

[@debbiedyson638]

Thank you for modifying the headstock. It looks 100% better. Sounds amazing with the new pickups thanks to Cathy.

[@richardherrington3815]

Love the sound of Cathy's Pick-ups, I'll call them the Katie did pick-ups cause Cathy done did good!!! Shane you sure made that head stock look good!!! Praying for you all and Praying for Hammy!!! I've asked our Lord Jesus Christ th lay his healing hands on him !!! God Bless !!!

[@timesurfingalien]

The headstock improved 100%

[@nicholascarson4455]

He'll yeah. That Tele sounds great

[@susannoland7385]

Hello this is the only woman that watches and likes yours and Cathy’s videos!!

[@ERICF66]

Nice work! I have a black Indio Tele and I was surprised how good it was for such a little bit of 💵!! I did put a bridge hot rail pickup in it for my own personal taste (punk/metal/hc). I don’t have a problem with the headstock shape. I think it looks fine and better than some other Tele knockoff guitars I’ve seen!😳

[@ledsled01]

I ordered a Leo Jamz Tele. Suppose to be here tomorrow, It's gonna get some of that treatment. I love the headstock mod but it needed a "Scarred decal", IMO.

[@caseylee12]

If I was your neighbor, we'd be monkeying around with guitars all the time, 'cause that's what I do at home. Congrats Cathy on your new channel--- I'm a sub there, too!

[@Sammywhat]

Hey Sean, one little trick that's rather simple and can add a bit more sustain to the guitar is to loosen the bolts on the neck just a little bit, while the strings are up to pitch. What this will do is seat the neck deep into that pocket and assure a really solid connection. Tighten those screws back up and your neck is SET! BTW, I like the head stock adjustment. I can't stand some of these goofy headstocks out there - not that the tele shape will win any prizes, but it sure beats an Indio all day long! You can't beat a classic. Thanks for the share!!

[@billulman3254]

Those pickups sound absolutely awesome!

[@sbeard73]

Yeah I want a set for the Cozart Tele you convinced me to buy, lol. Great feeling little Tele but the pickups are bright and not good just as you said they would be. Put me in line if y'all don't mind.

[@superglou913gomez3]

Man those pickups sound killer. Perfect balance of twang and bite.Thank you for reshaping the headstock.

[@jaminjimlp]

CruzTOOLS GTJPT1 GrooveTech Jack and Pot Wrench... I also saw somewhere someone had some that were like sink wrenches or similar to like a motorcycle spark plug tool very thin wall very deep well

[@friedrich1957]

Loved seeing how you modded the headstock...wishing you both well...

[@bryonrivera2607]

Hey Sean the pickups sound awesome or I should say great job Cathie love the channel and always learning something new

[@roygaber8659]

Awesome work to that T-style guitar Sean. Cathy, your pickups sound fantastic, you will surely be getting an order from me, probably more than one.

[@user-xx3rv7bv5f]

My new Indio just like it will be here tomorrow. I wish I could do what both of you are able to do to mine!!!

[@jon9536]

You can sometimes find sockets with thinner walls, in the tool bargin bin, where they are part of a screwdriver/ socket-driver set. Ultra cheap, but good enough to tighten an input jack.

[@kevindraw314]

Hell yeah, nice work Cathy!!! they sound great!!!!! Definitely slam a set of those in my Tele!!! Keep us posted please.

[@barriehercock8612]

Sounds great Sean, ,like that reshape headstock ,keep up the great work ,Cathys a master at winding them pickups

[@calvinevans6347]

I used to think like so many folks who dislike certain headstocks, until years later, i realized i don't play headstock. I play guitar. So, yea i like the headstock on this guitar because i don't care.

[@CampbellHealy]

Sean, To tighten the output jack to the plate I use a box spanner. Thinner than a socket and much better than pliers. Hope that helps.

[@petercase9583]

That’s the cool thing about this is you can wind pickups in the morning and be playing buy noon.

[@johnwray537]

Hey Sean is it even remotely possible to fix the Glarry?? I bought a Tele sunburst from them and it came with a cracked body that was done at the factory or behind someone’s house where they made it anyway the crack was done and they just went ahead and put the finish over the top of it 😂😂😂😂

[@JasonViator]

Wow....sir that is a NICE RIG!!!! I'm jelly!

[@TURBOCAST]

Give Cathy a raise!!!! Love the new channel and boy those pickups are bad ass!!! I do have a scarred guitar that may need some pickups that are scarred! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@jerryhatrick5860]

Ain't the wood it's the hardware, fender and Gibson can go jagoff hahaha

[@RandyFricke]

Great job on that Indio Shawn. You videos are therapeutic. I have three (budget) "Teles" I bought from Amazon and eBay. The two Amazon buys are a peach-colored Glarry with an F hole and a white pearloid pickguard. Maple neck. The other Amazon buy is seafoam green LyxPro with white pickguard and a rosewood board. The third is from eBay and is a gold metalflake Cozart, black pickguard and rosewood board. I put the Seymour Duncan Hot Tele pickups on the Glarry and the Cozart, and a set of Guitarheads "Super Twangs on the LyxPro. A little TLC, time, and some upgraded parts and you have a really nice playing guitar that are totally gig worthy. Next acquisition I'm going to grab a set of Cathy's pickups. They really do sound nice even with all of that KZbin compression.

[@Scrappydootrades8256]

I bought one of these and put a set of fleor pickups in it, chinese-ium full sized pots and a bone nut. Just modified the body today to have an arm cutaway and a belly cut. Very fun guitar. I only have about $150 invested. The next thing is grover tuners. I had a squier tele and hated that guitar. The neck on this thing is the perfect size and it just feels solid.

[@ConditionZero76]

Pups sound great, good job Cathy!!

[@wjewell63]

19:59 I believe that control plate is series /parallel option..I have one and it's a great deal on eBay...I did the same to my Indio headstock..👍i forgot to mention that switch only works in middle position.... sounds great man..

[@finaljesus]

i must say i don’t teles but this one sounds so good with kathys pickups in it awesome job kathy

[@me262a1]

Wow!! Three positions, three distinct killer tones. I think yall are gonna do just fine.

[@billyvitale8994]

Wow..not sure why but to me this is the best sounding guitar I have heard on your channel..I could be delusional..but there is a bite in that tone that seems pretty special. Great job on the headstock looks so much better...great work

[@ronvigneri]

Cheers! Love your show, great stuff and great job. I just built a Tele-clone similar to your Indio. Weighs in at 6 pounds with a Newtechcity paulownia body and a Kmise14" radius maple/maple neck. Grounded all the cavities and pickguard with copper foil. Used Guitar Madness 62z 5.6K Strat neck and Guitar Madness Tele Standard 7.1K Bridge, Greenten bone nut, Jin-Ho locking tuners, Guitar Madness 6-saddle bridge, Xstore through body to ferrule bushing plate, Kingdomuck 4-way control plate like yours, and my custom oil finish. Best playing and sounding Tele I have ever owned, and I've been building guitars since 1993.

[@chrisnunez9033]

and that body type is my #1 as far as what i want on my list of guitars. that and a explorer body are the last 2. great work sean

[@yomommaahotoo264]

Tricked out mine with Vortex hot alnico 3 pups. That gets you to the sound of the original Fender teles. Best sounding tele pups I have heard.

[@terrylumpkin4219]

With those pick up, she made me the cheap Guitar expensive Guitar lovers style👍🏽👍🏽

[@Bbbbad724]

The solder and heat shrink reminds me of wiring up my race car. !

[@garymitchell625]

Holy cow!! That thing sounds great.

[@dekriecastle-cook327]

Awesome pickups Cathy!

[@mattbluesmain1359]

love you peeps..how about going to 4 way switch and reversed control plate

[@thomasalderman2399]

I can't wait to hear it. Looks Awesome.

[@ItFigures89]

Very interested in how you wired the volume boost to the middle position gimmick. That's exactly what that position needs!

[@nychold]

I don't like the stock telecaster headstock as much as the offset headstock. I think because it's too close to a standard telecaster headstock, so the "beak" looks out of place. But the offset was more like a strat headstock, so the "beak" looked fine.

[@susannoland7385]

Those pickups sound amazing!!!

[@allenmitchell09]

Sean those pickups sound killer man!

[@marlan3rd]

Well done, great sounding pickups. I noticed that you kept the original nut on the guitar would a low friction or a bone nut make much difference in the sound?

[@gregcissell345]

I’m with you I heat shrink everything .

[@gsstrings339]

That Tele's got some bite!! Good work Cathy!!!

[@EbonyPope]

The tip of the headstock still isn't perfectly round. It is still a little oval where the "beak" used to be. I would sand it some more and use some higher grit to finish it. The surface still looks a little rough.

[@AndyDion]

Killer pickups Cathy!!

[@JasonViator]

Bro, you need to change out the belt on that sander....LoL!!!

[@scarmyguitar]

I did!

[@Pegdrag]

Most excellent eh, looks good sounds better, thanx Cathy!

[@johnnytruck2009]

Awesome job!!

[@garydrichard5559]

I’m here for Hammy!

[@donbishop6994]

Pao ferro is within the rosewood family of trees and wood. Calling it rosewood is an accurate representation of what it is. Kind of like white and black limba is part of the ebony category. It isnt decieving, its accurate.

[@jerrymccabejr]

Very nice sound. Definitely a major upgrade.

[@plecogod]

You should add a 4-way switch to this guitar. I think it's a mod that should be on every Tele. Running the pickups in series give you an extra tone. At the very least it would be a cool mod to show your viewers on a future guitar. It's cheap and fairly easy to do.

[@soulagent79]

That's amazing how you sanded the headstock into shape. I would have tried it with a hacksaw and failed miserably. ;-)

[@johngeist-dt2ks]

Sean, I always enjoy the videos. But I wish you would show how you set up the guitar. Adjust the saddles, intonation and string height , pickup height etc. I think many would be interested,

[@spookshilljoe7376]

That beak headstock is for chicken picking!!!

[@rogerj.reinke6224]

Sounds excellent , well done Kathy.!!!!! I watched her bvideo yesterday with her new winder @@@@@WOMBAT Roger

[@picksalot1]

Good work Shawn and Cathy. I was wondering if some of the Single Coil Pickups you replace on the inexpensive guitars could be converted into "Dummy Coils" to act in concert with a regular Single Coil, thus creating a Humbucker to rid of noise?

[@perkins1439]

I would love to see the meter hook to the bridge pickup that joker sounds hot

[@lindouatspeed4843]

Great tone these pick ups! I want a set for my Musiker Tele! Well done Cathy!

[@ckelly5141]

I like a basswood body. Nice and light.🎸👍

[@IamGroot-GW2]

hey I got the same controls.... but I didn't get the Cathy P-UPs I got the overpriced Fender Tex-Mex ones good job from Texas !!!

[@birdman316]

sweet tele brother! i have the same model of that one as well haha!!! yours is modded a bit more than mine tho.... is that push-pull putting it in series sorta like a humbucker? kinda like the 4way switch?

[@HotAsHellSeedCo]

Nice, Cathy! Sound awesome.

[@stevebolin4651]

The wife did a magnificent job!

[@71tbomb]

I'm glad you took the hook off that headstock.

[@TheMassdistortion]

Whats going on? Now hang on just a dang minute Sean, High Cholesterol Bro. I'm hoping to make a video of a telecaster that was made by Aliens soon... Illegal Aliens, the head-stock turned out great! Cheers Bro.

[@jaminjimlp]

Sounds GREAT!!!

[@artherfisher5415]

Well here we go now I have to get the Indio telecaster Spanish for Indian and to make it the do all guitar I have to get your wife's pickups well enough lip flappin make it happen love you guys

[@Bbbbad724]

I agree, that tone wood crap on an electric guitar is just stupid, like up so I can get everyone in a Mslap! Hardware makes me the sound! And thank you for sanding that limp….off the headstock.

[@AndrewAHayes]

I dont buy into the tonewood thing, however, I seem to prefer an alder body for a Telecaster, especially if it is a natural grain finish. I would have thought you would have engraved your logo using your CNC onto the neck block plates by now Sean, your CNC should have enough torque to engrave metal. I have 3D printed hand tightening sockets for guitar outputs and in all 3 sizes, If you have a PO box I would be willing to send you some Sean! Or you can put a nut of a slightly larger size over the socket nut and then use an ordinary socket to tighten it up

[@DougHinVA]

I buy older and decent pickups that easily beat the cheap ones nowadays from China. Used Squier Mexico pickups are cheap to get used (Strat set of 3 alnico 5 magnet type for $25) pickups! Very few folks have a way to wind pickups or can afford them.

[@Dave---M]

Sounds real good!

[@cebjr]

Sounds awesome.
