Should You Build A Strat?

[@davepilgrim5798]

Buyed a used Fender SRV custom 6 months ago for 1500 € (1700 dollars). In Italy it costs 2300 € new (2500 dollars) I know the ex owner, he never played it, he just collect guitars so it was brand new. Had do lower down couple of fretwire at 15/16 frets and adjust the nut saddle but it is well build. I love it, but I am not a great playet and my hands are small so I struggle a bit 😂! (I just play at home, no bands or gigs). But he's my favourite guitar player and I enjoy myself playin it, if I get used to the thick neck I guess I'll keep it forever. If I can play some if his songs it's also beacause of you, so thanks Anthony 😉

[@Shawn-hs8qk]

I you build a parts guitar and decided to sell it later, Your better off parting it back out again.

[@Texasbluesalley]

That wouldn't surprise me at all.

[@butteredbiskit3497]

I was gonna say if you see a partscaster with some good parts for around 650 or so, take what you want and sell what you dont. You could come out pretty good if your careful/lucky.

[@vniesky]

Exactly..I got into building my own guitars when I couldn't afford the price of a completed guitar. As such I built 15 to 20 guitars and sold them off complete and parts. In my experience you get a better return from the individual parts than a completed guitar.

[@HillCountryCodger]

One thing that makes a video like this useful to me is that as a lefty, there aren't nearly as many options out there as there are for right handers. Although there are certainly more to choose from than, say, 20 years ago many manufacturers limit their color choices to basic boring two color burst patterns and black or white. To get a wider variety of color choices, going custom build is often my only choice. You're certainly correct about the resale value of a partscaster build, it's not something that you're gonna make any money on, so take your time and research your options to ensure that you get everything you want in your build.

[@mikeadams4605]

I built a strat with Parts from Stratosphere.....would highly recommend it. It was under $1000 and I got the exact guitar I wanted with the unique Pickup combinations.....Would have been $1500 or more to custom shop or over $1000 for Warmouth

[@rafsbio]

One of my favorite things about strats is how easy it is to mix-and-match and create your own “signature” model. My current strat is a patchwork of the stuff I like: Fiesta Red, rosewood fretboard, big CBS headstock, reverse-angle bridge pickup, shorter tremolo arm, and Gen4 noiseless.

[@Vern859]

I bought a cheap $50 strat. I upgraded it really cheap stuff. I leveled frets crown and polish. I also built a Tele out of some scrap wood came very nice. I used cheap parts. I also had a G&L Legacy Special designed for myself. Great guitar. G&L is the way to go if you want a nice guitar with out the custom shop price. 👋

[@78tag]

Good job Anthony, I have been through the agony of this thought process a couple of times thinking I was really going to cut down the price. As you have proved here, that just isn't going to happen. Do this build if you want the sense of accomplishment that comes from building your own guitar and be happy. I have decided to rebuild an old strat style Peavey that I really liked before I took it apart. It's enough for me to have modded it with all the hardware I wanted.

[@ronniewilliford3449]

I've built a couple of Strats from total scratch, and it was some serious fun. The first one took 14 months and it was totally worth it just for the knowledge and experience alone. (Re-dos and rethinks along the way are part of it.) The cost of making one from raw wood was $945. in 2001. I don't recommend this rout for someone not used to cutting wood. It was a ton of work that I could have put into learning to play better. No regrets, though.

[@haroldtrego5472]

I have bought parts and built four Strats and a tele. They cost me $900-$1200 case included. My problem is buying an off the shelf Strat that I liked everything about it. I like to pick the color, neck shape, pickups etc. I realize if they are sold you will take loss, unless you part it back out. I built mine with the intentions of never parting with them. Buying the parts, new or reliced, choosing the color the style of tremolo, brass block or not. Neck material, pickups, finish color etc, then putting it all together and setting it up is very rewarding to me.

[@Spenny23]

Thanks for reviving tone tuesday, your new videos are awesome. Helps me a lot

[@so561]

Very informative! I have asked the local guitar tech to do vintage wiring and fix new pickups. It's taking forever since it's hollow body, and especially some items coming from oversea countries, it would be worse. It took 2 months for me to get new pickups, 3 months to get my wiring and pickup works done. Then that guitar tech probably missed changing capacitor to Russian PIO and insisted this wouldn't work (he seemed he never saw Russian PIO.. and obviously never tried after discussing he would do it) . So I asked another guitar tech to change the capacitor and nuts to TUSQ (It's gonna be bone when I called them up after a month for checking how things are going and mentioned TUSQ is out of stock for now - So I asked them to use bone nut.... ) Any variable can cause you trouble and more working time... Endless waiting side of all these work was the most stressful thing I have experienced... I don't want to do anything crazy because I am kind of sick of it, but.. I imagine my self doing this again in the future.. ha

[@elgris22]

Great article as always Anthony. Can i just add that if you are afraid of wiring and making a mistake. Then plug and play is the way to go. I used a system from Obsidian wire on my 'Frankencatser' IIm not a pro musician or a builder. At the time I wanted the best I could afford ( secretly dreaming of the SRV strat) . My starting point was a Squire Classic Strat ( € 200) then I put the obsidian wire package in and swapped out the pickups for some I bought on ebay. ( € 85) after lots of research. Your figure is about right for a higher end self build but I'm happy with mine except the neck. Thats the next upgrade. I eventually bought a 2012 SRV and it's everything I dreamed of but I often wonder why I bought it ? I mostly play my Frankencaster which to me sounds and feels way better ( except the neck. So if I wend down the neck replacement rout with Mighty might or Warmoth I'd have pretty much what I want. So Yes it is worth it in some cases. Looking forward to your next article. Keep up the good work mate.

[@shawnbell6392]

If you assemble from parts you have the advantage of getting the exact neck profile and frets etc that you like and can customize it all to your taste. Overall costs are still less than a comparable Fender custom shop guitar for sure. If you find a competent tech who has put these together before you can pay to have it done and set up. The advantage is a very personal guitar. Resale? Its true to part it back out. But most people keep theirs because it is so personal.

[@matthewf1979]

I think going used is the way to go. Stainless frets aren’t required but they make the playability skyrocket. Everything Mojotone I’ve used has been great, especially the pots and pickups. I replaced my R9 Custombuckers with the Hot 59 Clone PAF’s. They were exactly what I wanted in a PAF style pickup. They put together an awesome amp kit too.

[@jamalabdul2009]

If anyone makes a decision to assemble a Stratocaster, it has to be a forever guitar. I would imagine if it would be a fun experience putting together a guitar with every spec that I want. Being a southpaw, it would be fun to create a lefty SRV or Clapton Strat! It is an eye opener to actual see the price comparison between building and buying. Appreciate the video Anthony!!!🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@sgtmac62]

Hey. Buy a used Strat Fender MIM Roadhouse and platform from there is always an option. Most if use wouldn't know a 7.5 radius to a 9.5 radius. I 100% agree on the compound radius. Allot less struggling, unless you've aggressively playing for 20+ years. Not me. Just having fun. Thx. Great insights.

[@TeleCathster]

I’m just putting together an all American parts thinline tele nitro finish body. Ordered some custom handwound pickups and wiring loom and spent £910 which is about £600 saved compared to what they would sell new in the UK. And it’s good fun!

[@windsurfmaui8239]

If you can buy a guitar that suits you, feel and tone buy it and spend your time playing. If you can't find one straight from the factory then consider buying something very close to what you want and then customize it by swapping out parts, pickups, neck, locking staggered tuners. Only build a guitar from the ground up if you have lots more money than you need or if you make a living playing guitar.

[@joewalsh8217]

Why was this so much fun to watch?

I love it satin back gloss front neck maple. My 2nt strat. Price with guitar pickups pots tuners everything between 450 and 500 total and I really love it. Learned a lot and I can always get a new neck down the road if O want to good 2pc alder body. Its my only " reliced" guitar I'm not scared of a paint scratch or anything. Real world value: IDK Personal value: priceless 😁

[@andrelousada]

I just had one made. Custom relic body and genuine Fender neck.

[@matthewsalyersjr4965]

I built a 62 strat using all used “but good” original parts, and put fender FAT 50s in her, all together it cost me $796.00. But!! I used Mexican parts, witch there is no difference when I do it myself because I did a hell of allot of custom work especially on the neck. Mainly sanding and filing the fretboard, making it really comfortable to play. But if I would’ve used American parts it would’ve cost me $1,132.00. That’s a hell of a savings! And feels, plays and sounds identical to an American strat!

[@noeticflatulence]

If you buy Fender's, you get a nice vintage style case. Build it yourself, and it's an extra cost.

[@toneydavis9802]

Thanks Anthony!. When I started playing in the early 70s there were not many options either in brands or models of electric guitars that were available in my area. Had I the options you presented today back then, especially the internet, to shop used.....man that is the way to go. There is value in brand. Especially Fender and the upgrades you mentioned just send that guitar over the top in value. Good stuff. BTW I am jealous of your internet. Unless you edited that was lightning fast.

[@Texasbluesalley]

Definitely some editing to take out pauses and Uhhhhhhhhhhs.

[@Dug6666666]

It's a satisfying exercise to build your own. Probably the longer you leave it the better though, to know what your preferences are, have time to learn setup skills and have bench marks guitars to copy playability. I built my first 2 guitars mainly because it was back in the day and there wasn't much around for left handers. I made the body, bought a neck and it's had 2 sets of pickups in 40 yrs. It was playable from the start but I was able to finesse it over time as I learned more. Would never sell it and its the guitar I'm most attached to for its personal history. It doesn't hurt that it's my favorite for tone as well.

[@dickdastardly2560]

If you can assemble a IKEA or similar entertainment center or bookcase you can assemble your own Strat style guitar they are that easy plus there's about a million and one instructional videos and websites if you get stuck.

[@dickdastardly2560]

@@BeefNEggs057 Soldering is extremely simple but if you can't do it that then there are loaded pickguards that require no soldering at all, if you can handle a screwdriver then you can build a Strat style guitar.

FYI, if you look at Reverbs sold listing this only shows what the item was originally listed at. If it was listed at $400, but someone made an offer for $250 and it was accepted, Reverb's sold listing will show $400. Not a great way to determine market value.

[@Texasbluesalley]

Interesting, did not know that.

[@marksguitars5617]

nice video TXBA, I've made a few Warmoth necks over the years, never tried a body from them, I used the vintage modern neck (truss rod on headstock), stainless steel frets and nitro satin, each were about 400. I've purchased bodies from Stratosphere or MJT. Prewired pickguards are a great way to go too. Allparts makes decent necks that are mass produced and cheaper BTW. Thanks for the video and take care!

[@ryanoshredmaster5305]

I built an SRV strat recently from parts. In total spent close to the money I could’ve bought a stock SRV guitar for, but I could’ve been cheaper if I had a couple things in mind beforehand. American professional body, Planet Tone HSS loaded pickguard, Warmoth roasted flame maple neck, SRV profile Stainless steel 6105 frets 10 inch radius, dark rosewood fingerboard, 22 frets, Wudtone bridge, fender locking tuners, Graphtech saddles... Yeah it’s a killer guitar and has everything I picked, it’s more versatile, durable and suits me better than a stock guitar would

[@ryanoshredmaster5305]

My build evolved over the course of months but I bought a fully loaded American body but ended up swapping out all the electronics and the entire trem unit (because I wanted a vintage 6 screw trem rather than a narrow two-point trem.) If I was doing it again I’d go with a unloaded Mexican/warmoth/wudtone body and it would’ve made the build cheaper by $600. But the other parts I took out can be used on other guitars.

[@mattilangofficial]

Saw your videos yesterday, Strat, Blues Jr. Great.... How much could I get for a Strat? 1990, EC, Lace Sensor, TBX, Midboost. Neck replaces (like new), Black, with some worn scatches on the body? Want to sell...

[@borasmussen4794]

Depending on condition you can get around 1500 with a case for that guy. It may take some time to find the right buyer as lace sensor pup's draw a small crowd, me included lol! I just built a 90s Johnny Greenwood replica tele with the lace sensor pup's and tbx tone circuit. Love the versatility it!

[@hawg427]

I'm having Retro Guitars up in Ohio Custom make me a Robin Trower Strat. Exact same specs to Robins strat. Only thing I ordered and shipped to the builder were Custom Seymour Duncan pups that have that Trower sound. Less than half the cost of a Fender made one. Check him out on FB, Billy Gibbons & that crazy guy from Cheap Trick has had some made by him.

[@isaiahcoles3274]

That Clapton looks super tidy with the Z Core pickups, which is what I miss with Fender ditching the Lace sensors. Did you keep the stock Clapton wiring, or did you disconnect the TBX?

[@jasonthesken1061]

I think it depends a lot on where and how you source your parts. I just build a awesome all nitro, top quality guitar for 650 in parts. All USA sorced. It plays almost as well as my custom shop.

[@pugforce8315]

How’d you get a nitro for so cheap

[@MetalGuru965]

Anthony, you missed the cost of a hard case, which is in the $125 - 150 neighborhood and would come with a new SRV Strat. That's a big thing to me as I'd never carry a guitar I care about (which ends up being every guitar I own) in a gig bag.

[@hybridnoisebloom]

You should. Because it's fun, and you can dial it the way you want.

[@andyhightides]

I have $500 of parts on a MIM strat. Probably going for a body or pu's next. The neck is the only part I'll keep original. I know I'll never get my money back, so I'll keep it and keep modding.

[@sansgaming69]

maple fret?

[@Moto_737]

Does anyone know where I can get a hard tail strat body

[@Jeffy2n]

I think the one thing you forgot to say about buying a new guitar is, you get a warranty. My 2010 MIM strat had the neck develop a twist, and Fender replaced it for free. Have I modified this strat? Yes, 1969 Fender cs hand wound and a reverse wound fat 50's in the middle, all CTS pots and a brass blocked tremolo. So my 600 dollar guitar became a 1100 guitar, that is only worth what a use MIM strat is worth. And then I picked up a SRV used strat for 900, that was so lightly used, I cut the old strings off to clean off the corrosion off the fret wire.

[@druwk]

Having the guitar with everything you want, and prefer...it is MUCH easier, faster, and cheaper than buying a (good) Strat and modding the shit out of it! That said, you can buy used parts selectively, and put together a quality guitar. As noted, resale is not an option. If that’s your game then, definitely buy a real Fender. I love Warmoth, and my parts-caster is 100% Warmoth wood. I did a India Ink dye, and Tung oil finish on the body, pre loaded pick guard from Lindy Fralin (best decision) and quality bridge, tuners, etc. I would definitely go with roasted maple on the neck wood. If I were doing it again, I might get some used parts instead of getting new Warmoth (body only). New neck to specification is totally WORTH EVERY PENNY! Also, I reshaped my Warmoth boat neck to asymmetrical perfection with some sand paper(s). Wouldn’t have tried that if it was a “Fender” neck? All said and done with a pro setup...$1200-1350. Could shave a couple hundred bucks off (?), if we’re going to do it again?

[@SundayMatinee]

Since you have a parts-caster, you can still swap out that neck for a roasted maple. That's the beauty of Leo Fender's design!

[@douggrimes195]

I have a brand new Warmoth... Boatneck Profile... Roasted Maple with Rosewood Fingerboard...Modern Construction... 10' to 16' Compound Radius... Neck with SS6115 Frets. It is sitting here beside me waiting to be put on my guitar. I Love the overall size of the Boatneck... but the asymmetrical shape of the SRV. I would Love to Know how you turned a boatneck into asymmetrical. I am guessing you removed some material off the treble side? If so, how did you determine how much material to remove? Thanks!

[@filipematias2239]

The "Sold Listings" trick on Reverb.com just completely changed the game for me! haha THANK YOU!! BTW I am "building" a stratocaster this summer and I have gathered all the parts (quality parts) for around 550/600€. Including Nitrocellulose Paint (Body and Neck) which alone is around 100€ here in Portugal. Gotoh S91 Vintage Tuners Wilkinson WCSB Tremolo (Probably the weakest part) Good electronics as well 7.25" Rosewood Slab Maple Neck Ash body (from Portuguese Trees and built right here in Portugal) I am buying everything I can locally so that makes it cheaper as well. My main goal is to have my dream specs all in one instrument and ultimate playability! I will never ever ever sell this guitar, even if I get some defects with the paint or anything, this instrument is for life and I will be soulbound to it! I will build it myself (and I would build the body an neck from scratch if I had the equipment). This last part makes it more special than any guitar I can dream of.

If you're changing the pickups, and don't care about the gold hardware or reverse trem(or do you? you didn't even compare the same cost trem in the builds), why exactly are you using a SRV as the base to compare instead of a Professional? You ignored/changed all the things that make it more expensive.

[@douggrimes195]

Probably the asymmetrical neck profile. He did a video on neck profile awhile back. It was the main thing he loved about the SRV Strat vs his other guitars. I have own quite a few Fender Strats... and played the SRV... JM Strat... and the EJ Strat. There was a HUGE difference in the neck profile of those guitars. I like the SRV the best by far. To me, the best thing about the SRV Strat is the neck profile. There are plenty of other things I do not care for... like having to take the neck off to make a truss rod adjustment.
