The Ultimate SLEEPER! Meet “JUNIOR” SON OF METHSTANG: rat rod electric guitar with onboard overdrive

[@alioth2021]

I think fixing old guitars as opposed to buying new is a trend that should grow in popularity.

[@Notaluthier]

There are probably ~enough~ for now.

[@EbonyPope]

@@Notaluthier As far as I know lemon oil too is just food safe mineral oil with a scent. So using it without that scent is fine.

[@kennytheamazing]

@@EbonyPope There's types. What dunlop calls "lemon oil" is indeed just mineral oil with a scent. Actual lemon oil is terrible for guitars.

[@EbonyPope]

@@kennytheamazing I know.

[@n.349]

"Vroom"

[@chazstewart4865]

I am entertained.... More of this please

[@matthewmccomis6128]

you are such a breath of fresh air for youtube guitarists, love your vids, please keep them coming, vroom!

[@Notaluthier]

Thanks!

[@codelicious6590]

Is it DEVO? Great vid! oh, vroom

[@kennytheamazing]

This is a very entertaining channel. I'm a mediocre bassist myself, but I do enjoy antique "player" grade instruments like this.

[@tom5112]

I can't wait to coat my countertop and cutlery in wax. Thanks for the tips!

[@EbonyPope]

Dude your videos are excellent. Ted from twoodfrd was right. You deserve more subscribers.

[@BataraKado]

i swear the leader of fixing used guitars is "not a luthier" and if it becomes a trend, this guy owns it..

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

So much for tone wood...less wood=more tone? I would love to hear why the holes were drilled in the body, from the person who drilled them. Great job...VROOM VROOM!!

[@Notaluthier]

Those are factory! They are present in several Valco models (airline Supro national etc!) I’d say it’s for weight relief.

[@r0flgal0re]

24:30 That's not a guitar! That's a jackhammer! Awesome Videos, keep it up. Teaching s hard, but everything needs practice ;) I m looking forward to the next ones.

[@r0flgal0re]

PS: VROOOM!

[@gwendohshidt]

this shits hard. love your videos. it's really motivating to see you keep pushing through the little failures we all face while making entertaining videos & cool guitars in the process. dudes rock

[@garrettmancuso4417]

VROOM I love that you show your mistakes. I get so caught up in the chase for perfection, that I give up on most projects. I think we all need a reminder that mistakes are going to happen.

[@Notaluthier]

Thanks! Sometimes I think I make nothing but mistakes, but then shit is done and sounds great 🤷 hashtag blessed?

[@RJDCR]

love this chan , keep'em comin' man....(thas wha she said)

[@landondavismusic]

Dude I’m loving watching each video you release. I’m here for the start and for the rest !! :) Love your humor and the layout of the videos. Keep doing what you’re doing my friend. Love it :)

[@Notaluthier]

Thanks a lot!

[@angelortega8276]

The guitar turned out great! Also the band name in your hair obviously says Krakatoa. 😏Anyways, I’d love to see a video of you explaining how to make an overdrive circuit. Vroom!

[@Notaluthier]

Best (only) entry into the secret “name in hair contest”

[@shannonfamily]

I love the way you do things and the materials you use. I loathe the modern way of doing things and routinely make things work with what I have on Honda, this is the way. I do have lots of tools but you never have enough and you make do.

[@BoredoldPunk]

Wash the fretboard, what with? I have a dirty old Kay needs this. Loved the fingerboard on the Methstang. I have a half log sitting in the garage for a lap steel project too.

[@Notaluthier]

Just scent free hand soap and a small amount of water

[@coastercook]

VROOM, but why do I want an overdrive circuit inside my guitar?

[@Fraik]

Vroom ! Also I'm so with you on the Kluson Safe Ti Posts, it's a shame they're almost only installed on fender style , 6 inline headstocks. It also removes the risk of ruining your gig bag lining with string ends, which has happened to me with several bags. It looks like nowadays their only 3x3 models are the Mosrite ones and the variant of the concept made by Duesenberg.

[@mikiegood]

You’ve created the coolest guitar in this world

[@greatsouthernpansy]

For securing smaller ferrules in larger holes I usually use paper masking tape or if I'm feeling really special - teflon plumbers tape. Works like a charm and is easier to remove the ferrules if the need occurs. Highly reccomend.

[@DrDizzleFrizzle]

Vroom, as if i'm not already overwhelmed by learning repairs and building theory

[@CharlesNotBronson]

VROOM! LMAO Laughed so hard a couple of times watching this vid! Thanks man! Just finished fixing (or should I say, deep cleaning) a bass that I bought from a warehouse where they buy japanese "garbage" guitars etc, and was lucky that it's just dirty and its electronics are still working, albeit its single knob isn't turning lol With my current knowledge on how to fix a guitar, I'd probably cry when faced with the same situation. Looking forward to your next upload!

[@RobHutten]

I like everything about this rebuild. What s cool guitar.

[@Notaluthier]

It’s neat! I tried a heavier guage 13-56 because of the short scale, but ended up with 10s. I wish I had captured its loudness better

[@michaelr.4878]

Dude! Fantastic work and fantastic video. Your videos are freaking incredible. You have a gift for this.

[@Notaluthier]

Way too kind! 😊

[@wesleykoch550]

VROOM I’m glad the channel’s finally getting more attention. I think it’s really important that people know that restoration isn’t always gonna be pretty. Love the content!

[@benwright6330]

..man, that dog puts up with a lot from you.🦝

[@Rowen_elliott]

I am so glad I came across your channel, your one of my favs

[@Notaluthier]

Yay! Thanks!

[@davidgissiner9677]

Your videos are amazing!

[@plcrrl]

Wait what the hell every time I see a new channel that caters to everything I love they have like 500K subscribers and I think nothing of it. There’s no way you only have 6k, I cant wait to say I was an early settler when you’re huge. Also vroom

[@Notaluthier]

Pls tell everyone 😅

[@MikeNelson-ky8fo]

Vroom. Great videos...I've got an old Jackson that needs this treatment. Also Sleep?

[@MikeNelson-ky8fo]

Thanks for making all the mistakes too, that way we can follow along at home easily.

[@ronnielobosmith4870]

Cool

[@midnitekoffee4694]

Vroooooom! Feedback off of it slays🤘

[@SixSixthSix]

Your humorous ways of telling the story is just great! Looks awesome!

[@MoosicDude]

That last segment was if High on Fire formed in the 50s.

[@foxote640]

I love your videos dude I hope you keep making them. I need you to keep cranking these out because every time I see one I'm more inspired to actually fix my ancient Lindell VN2

[@LostLunick]

Vroom! Also I love your channel man. I love it

[@musicsurfandrats]

Vroom, by the way I subscribed because I do this shit as well and I like that you keep it real

[@stephenkrzanowski]

I believe SLAYER is the band name written in the hair shot :-D Excellent work.

[@zezzy3]

Really has a thing for pocket and parlor guitars. A man of culture.

[@tylerferrusi7652]

Vroom (Ted sent me) the humor, honestly, and pacing of your content is amazing and has gotten me back into tinkering and fixing and making things again, I sincerely appreciate what you do - thanks!

[@Notaluthier]

Thanks!

[@SuperMrPoopypants]

Vroom, indeed!

[@HunterS4711]

Vroom. This is some of the best content I have watched in a while. We need a Meth Paul episode asap

[@simonzowie]

VROOM! Loving your videos. I play music with your Dad sometimes and he suggested I check it out. Well done.

[@Notaluthier]

Oh sweet, hey! Maybe I’ll do an electronic drum video someday 😜

[@kevinwebb8690]

VROOM! 10K TODAY??

[@lbleekemolen]

Vroom! I enjoy your videos a lot, and the fact that things don't always go as planned is refreshing. You don't have to know everything to do it and that's a great way to learn

[@TatBou]

VROOM! Love the national brand of guitars, there’s just something about them that make them both unapologetically old and futuristic at the same time.

[@brianworrell8543]

Love the ingenuity of your builds, and the no problem only solution aspect. Right on brotha.

[@Notaluthier]

Thanks!

[@jordmosselman3403]

A hole hearted VROOOOOOM from my end, thats an awsome guitar. Love the perfect chaos and feedback from the instrument and the not a luthier. Props to Ted, he loves the channel cause he does not have to repair those guitars....not that they need any, its just a reassembly job no? Keep it going, much love and smiles!

[@R1GAMBLER]

future Dan Erlewine

[@JohnHenryJr]

VROOM! Also, cool guitars, fun videos; that why we watch

[@elbowache]

Vroom. Nice clavicord! Install the boost in that!

[@CorbenEdward]

VROOOOMMMMMM!!! Love all your vids man so far, keep them coming! :)

[@coffinbirth2847]

Good sh!t, my man. Subscribed. Looking forward to doing something very similar in a Jaguar build I'm doing. This might just get me off my arse and do it...eventually, someday.Also looking forward to more videos from you, maybe put some more effects in there? That would be cool. oh yeah, and VROOM f'n vroooom!!!

[@gussetblog]

Vroom! I'd like to know more about the boost circuit please.

[@spencerfreed6947]

Vroom I look forward to every single video you put out!! Awesome builds and the comedy is a 10!!! Seriously keep up the great work and thank you!!

[@robertbell9103]

Man that looks and sounds so sweet I can’t wait to see this overdrive circuit video.. I think I have a dream for that one!

[@Tuneman-iy8og]

The fact that you show all the mistakes and how you're just going along with it and still get really cool results makes me feel like I could give this a shot as well. Very cool channel! Vroom!

[@chidbro23]

hell yeah

[@mcdjchandler]

great work

[@officialironman]

VROOM. Love the channel and love the content. I do not know much about the era of guitars you often show. I love informational KZbin content and this ranks up among my favourite.

[@Notaluthier]

Thanks a lot!

[@heldmusic]

VROOM. Enjoying the channel so far!

[@brandonjessie291]

Well vroom vroom vroom. I dig what you did with this one. Super cool

[@benjaminprivitt9530]

Vroom vroom. So inspiring to see your kitchen sink making practice. Makes me look at my box of unfinished amp projects with new purpose. Thank you for your videos!

[@betterl8thannvr]

That actually sounds really good. Especially with the boost cranked.

[@chrisoakmountain2387]

We are in the presence of pure genius.

[@DaggerXylem]

Agreed! I just found this channel and I'm already looking at this guy as my inspiration

[@e4tm333]

Love the production style

[@lucaschibler2631]

the ending is true cinema

[@azimovwatts6425]

"VROOM" - your videos are great! Thanks!

[@LightBranches]

The Flying Tuner Bushings were the funniest thing, for some reason. Show me all the mistakes, Sensei.

[@sohosteveuk]

Love the music. Great chill way to start my Sunday 🤘

[@garethbrannigan6739]

Vroom!

[@savedaz]

Well cool guitar could you re-melt the wax to release the logos?

[@Notaluthier]

That would probably work!

[@tiltedhugh]

Vroom! Your workshop organization stresses me out, but I love the honest restorations!

[@Notaluthier]

You and me both!

[@FulllyFlared70]

VROOM Just getting back into guitar after a gnarly hand injury and so stoked I found your channel!

[@LuZe-wf7mc]

VROOM VROOM love your videos man, I hope you make more of these guitar restoration videos The demo at the end was insane...I want a guitar like that..it is just way too cool

[@randyandamberthompson9972]

Vroom this is great because I can totally relate to shit not always working out.

[@Ammonymity]

Vroom! No guitars left behind!

Dude please please please do the video on the overdrive circuit

[@AlbySpace]

Vroom! Don’t need the boost but you deserved it anyway

[@peterjames2580]

I build and repair but I come for the bloopers.

[@jacquikerr-bell7850]

The wax scene! 😂😂😂 So many valuable lessons. 🙏🏻

[@goodun2974]

" But then again I would keep the wax/and melt it down/pluck some floss/and swish it 'round......" F.Z.

[@RoyBrown-dg1tl]

First time I've checked your channel out, really love your work brother 🎸🎸🎸

[@user-passby-lookby]

VROOM, i guess! Wow, was a bit busy and skipped on a few videos of yours and already forgot how charming and a bit surreal (in a good way) your videos are. Thanks for your work, man. Been a fan since the methstang came to be, keep on going!

[@Notaluthier]

Thanks a bunch!

[@TheVirakahScale]

I love these sorts of videos. THeir keeping me motivated on my own related project. A guitar with a shatter neck, that was then turne dinto a clock, which I am restoring (and having to make many parts/pickups for!)

[@brianharris7243]

Good job done...and I chortled frequently at your misfortunes- thank you.

[@brianrockwell1805]

Vroom - love what you’re doing, please keep it up!

[@wesleyAlan9179]

[@yoshieggs2013]

VROOM! Youre funny and i like your attitude with old instruments

[@Blorp52]

Yes

[@gregoryjohnson6518]

Vroom!!! Love the design of the 8 sided knobs.

[@MatthewRMacKinnon]

[@avenue6.554]

Vroom. Cool video!

[@sunofslavia]

[@matyas-hz1we]

vroom More of all of this please.
