I demand a full Danger Zone cover.

[@sole__doubt]

Going to be stuck in my head all day. :)

[@brucemcneill6224]

Ok, luthier here. This is why your channel is my favourite. Such a cool mod and I love how far you went with it. I look forward to not only your next video but also stealing your idea. Thanks dude!

[@sixstringtv1]

The words "luthier here" in a comment usually mean I'm about to be scolded for my techniques, this is a nice change of pace.

[@brucemcneill6224]

@@sixstringtv1 Truth is you remind me a lot of my self at your age. Borderline obsession to the instrument in learning how it ticks. This led me to being in business for over 10 years and owning a Plek Machine. Follow your heart and your passion. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes.

[@GuitarMAXMusic]

This is awesome! \m/

[@Sir_Catnip]

Dude i love your channel 👍👍

[@Jalex_Owns]

F'ing sick. Can't get enough of these mod videos. Always done with flair, fun, and great taste. And educational!

[@luke-xz1gb]

oh man that solo on danger zone took me back to when i was a kid and that song had just come out. you nailed it. absolutely awesome

[@sole__doubt]

I wanna do a knob upgrade on my guitar now. The strap is really cool too Nicely done brother \m/

[@brandonjackson5865]

I dig the vintage tinted neck . Cool project .

[@Schwig]

Gotta love clean, simple aesthetic mods. 👌

[@Tragic_TV]

Such a clean guitar, those pickups are monstrous

[@DarylT64]

HOLY Cow 😲 !!!! That turned out absolutely awesome dude. I love it. Dang I may have to get a Jet JS-700 and steal your idea also turn it in to this. You did a fantastic job 🎸🤘🏻

[@Machinedmetal]

That’s a sick upgrade!! Great job!!

[@papaemeritus4544]

The paint creep at the brisge PU will be vanished with a touch of car paint compund polish and shine that you can get at Aral. That stuff is wonderfull for things like this... like... if you paint PDC sensors without removing them from the bumper and having a paint creep at the actual paint. Works also for HiFi-equipment paint.

[@sixstringtv1]

Will give it a try 🫡

[@KAPTEIN...]

Love the Stillbirth shirt

[@MrEric622]

Great mod project. Looks and sounds sweet.

[@Jesushairguy]

I like the new video style looking forward to new videos

[@cristianbarajas1895]

Hell yeah! What a cool guitar mod man!

[@darrylwalker1867]

Looks great

[@ninokamphuis8550]

Sick shirt👌

[@Summonredhellspites]

Pickup looks good

[@ScienceofLoud]

Looks sick! Fantastic aesthetic. Absolutely bang on concept for a Jet 80s shred machine. With the amount of coats of paint building up a thickness, it would have been quicker to get the inverse vinyl stencil and make the graphic a sticker. How did you wire the killswitch in here? If it is breaking to open circuit when depressed that might explain the static noise each time you press it. Having it shunt signal to ground would be the sonically cleaner way to wire it - but I can't tell which you've done from the video. There's also some real crispiness going on which to me sounds like a pickup overdriving - I'm not hugely familiar with Lace pickups, but I wonder if it is just a little too close to the strings in its current configuration. I'd be interested to hear if it gives more clarity when lowered a few mm.

[@sixstringtv1]

Both those problems can be explained by the plugin I was using, none of that happens through a real amp or even a different plugin. The Bogren MLC plugin has so much fucking gain I had to crank the gate to get rid of the static, to the point where notes wouldn't ring out fully. As for the wiring, I used the TESI wiring diagram to make sure I wasn't being an idiot

[@ScienceofLoud]

@@sixstringtv1 Then that leads me to ask where are you gating in the chain here, because surely that can be mitigated by gating before the plugin and then again after with two low threshold gates.

[@sixstringtv1]

I used the gate knob on the plugin's "amp head". Perhaps I should ask Glenn if he'd like to send over a copy of his Cockblocker plugin.

[@ScienceofLoud]

@@sixstringtv1 Sounds to me like the Bogren Digital need to take another look at the gating in their plug-in, and possibly why it sounds deep fried, assuming that wasn't their deliberate intention. Fully support the use of a quality stand alone gate for post production though - highly useful.

[@stevecassidyguitar]

Nifty project project mate - Nice job! 👍 Tried out the JS 850 (HS Matte version of yours) at the #BirmingNAMM guitar show the other week. Same trem - Gave it some punishment - Stayed in tune! 🤯👌 Kudos to Jet for nailing the 9.5" radius fretboards 👌 The end.

[@JannickVR]

@@sixstringtv1 Oh i will dont you worry

[@mrjoe9308]

The problem you have with the wilkinson is because of the radius of the floyd ??? Just have to swap between saddles to have the radius accomodate to the neck radius .

[@sixstringtv1]

No, the problem was exactly what I said it was and that's why what I did fixed it.

[@lucasfigueroa1602]

this guy makes me wanna buy a random guitar and then mod the shit out of it, GREAT VIDEO!!

[@nathangaspar4989]

[@frankijackson1819]

Looks and sounds amazing, congrats! One question though... Why do everyone think an "FR Special" is "low - or shit)? I play a Jackson Dinky JS32 for like 10 years and never had any problems with the Trem (and I use it heavily). Keep up your good work on YT and don't get discouraged!!! Big Fan from Germany! HAU rein!!!

[@adem_badem]

it's just rocks even without modified version. Do you recommend Jet Guitars? like about wood quality that they used or fretboard etc.

[@sixstringtv1]

Yes!! Recommend them as a good budget solution all the way

Probably yeah

Stewart Macdonald?

[@dingus5050]

nice🔥

[@jarekgorzynik9179]

are you cranking the gain on your interface? The tone from the Mlc shouldn’t sound so uncontrollable

[@sixstringtv1]

Input is (always) at -6dB

[@jarekgorzynik9179]

maybe try lowering it. Most of the plugins are built to sound normal at -12db, which is the db level of the typical interface (such as the focusrite) with the gain completely rolled off on the interface@@sixstringtv1

[@alzanderjenkins1084]

hey does anyone know where I can buy the Wilkinson bridge

Kramer Baretta Special or this Jet?

[@sixstringtv1]

Tough one, Baretta doesn't have a Floyd Rose and I kinda prefer that in most cases. But if you're a big FR person then this one

[@user-bn8ld9un9l]

@@sixstringtv1 one of these will be my first guitar😅
