Im so glad that i discovered this series

[@GuitarGuts]

Hell yeah Paul, thanks for watching!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@liamhopkins2220]

This was the first time that I’ve seen an Instagram add that didn’t suck, I’m so thankful that I decided to watch this.

[@GuitarGuts]

This is the ultimate complement 🤘🏼 thanks Liam 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@captiancookie433]

This series is cooler than any series ive ever watched

[@GuitarGuts]

Thank you!!! Please help spread the word about it on your social media, the more people who watch and enjoy these, the more of them I’ll make 😁

[@captiancookie433]

@@GuitarGuts i will

[@GuitarGuts]

It is much appreciated 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@S650Pony]

If you like ESP LTD's you'll definitively love modern Schecters. They're a bit cleaner in their design and their Quality Assurance is insane! Both companies are owned by the same person, but it's been clarified that esp ltd's a bit more budget oriented versions of the 2.

[@GuitarGuts]

Yeah Schecter has that classy vibe! But I love LTDs headstocks and vicious vibe.

[@mattynes]

Hey man - love the trash to thrash content. Keep it coming!

[@GuitarGuts]

Thanks brother!! Anything you can do to help would be huge, like sharing it on your social media 💪🏼💪🏼

[@mattynes]

GuitarGuts will do bro 👍

[@BlackBile666]

This is like a reality show but without all the bullshit that usually ruins them, I actually enjoy watching.

[@JadeDude1973]

This needs to be on TV. Compared to the crap TLC cranks out, this is both wholesome and interesting LOL

[@zebradonkeys4563]

looks amazing man! keep it up i love the content

[@pogocityradio77]

Love watching this! Gr8 job keep 'em coming! Catchy name too

[@andyparra5063]

I love love love this series! If I could make a suggestion, maybe there could be some background music to make everything come together. This is awesome though!!!

[@GuitarGuts]

Thanks Andy! That was the plan, to score each episode. But it ended up delaying the whole thing so much i figured “finished” is better than “perfect”. In the future i will have more background music 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@joeblack5199]

Love this series, keep up the great work

[@JadeDude1973]

I always have a weird moment when I'm putting the detergent in the washing machine, when the liquid detergent splatters on the inside of the machine... I think of Eddie. :)

[@jmhatutube]

I’m not sure how much you know about Eddie was a part of inventing most of the tech in his guitars. The Floyd Rose bridge was a collaboration between Ed and the guy the device was named after. The bridge pick that was in the Frankenstein was wound based on Eddies experimentation. The d-Tuna is another invention of Eddies. The kill switch is new for him because any kill switch effects from early recordings came from his shark guitar that had two pickups wired like a Les Paul where you could turn down the volume of the neck pickup and go back and fourth with the pickup selector and make a similar sound as a kill switch. Ace Frehley of Kiss did this all the time, as did many other Les Paul players in the 70’s.

[@jfo3000]

And of course, the great RR!

[@chadwilliams8083]

I really love your channel man!!!!

[@GuitarGuts]

Thanks Chad 🤘🏼 help spread the word on social media, your word of mouth is huge 😁👍🏼

[@axelnoi]

This production is like high school musical meets pimp my ride

[@tanneryordan]

the vitas guitar along with all kramers were painted black last believe it or not. this is why the black stripes on the kramers have soft edges because the guys who painted it used a piece of paper practically with a stripe cut in it as a mask

[@GuitarGuts]

Ah I see! I’m not a huge fan of that soft edge look, myself. Thanks for the info!

[@alexandershaer1079]

Would you consider doing a blood splatter tutorial (there was a very brief one in a previous trash to thrash, but I’m talking about something a bit more in depth)

[@GuitarGuts]

Yes I’ll do that at some point. Right now I’m making this series and building customs for people, but when I get a little bigger and can hire some help I’ll get to more videos like that 👍🏼

[@FlyguyLV]

Love your channel . Great videos one after the other . Thanks . I’m painting a strat soon I’m starting with a black guitar . I have questions.....

[@andrewcumming9717]

Love the new videos homie!

Thanks Andrew 🤘🏼 Help me get the word out about the show by posting on your social media! Thanks man.

This has very quickly become one of my favourite series.

[@GuitarGuts]

Thanks so much Jacob!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@Ultra-Collector]

That stack is Rad AF! RIP EVH!

[@ziggylayneable]

Dude I love what you're doing here man. I have about 30 some odd guitars, and I've been tinkering around since the '90s.I do the same thing as you when it comes to taking a bunch of different pieces of different quality or value guitars and just sticking them together and painting them and set them up however you want.it's something I really love to do.if I go on my channel and I watch videos of myself playing sometimes over the course of the past two years I will see one guitar change form three or four times within a year.I think we both have some kind of a disease that's like a mental illness of doing this to guitars...lol

[@rjlong89]

Cool channel man

[@jamesbutterson5218]

Yes sir i love the flat black with gloss black stripes! All your guitars are awesome though... 🎸🤘☕👌💨

[@stevenaustin4591]

hey, GuitarGuts, for someone who wants to start getting into customizing guitars, where dyou think would be a good place to start? I dont have access to tools like ban saws, or that. maybe paint-jobs 1st?

[@chrisadams628]

That's a decent score on the green MH-1000. I paid around the same for my EC-1000 with a case a few years ago.

[@stormbringer197]

The green is fire!

[@michaelweinman9051]

GG: U ABSOLUTELY RULE! wow amazing

[@thejkyle]

I have an old OLP MM1 and I’d love to have a Frankenstrat colour scheme! If you’re ever taking on new work..

[@Tommy-uh6co]

Love that headstock shape.

[@GuitarGuts]

Me too! 🤘🏼

[@Tommy-uh6co]

Hey I sent you a Direct Message on Instagram im curious about having a guitar done, would it be better to send to an email or something?

[@fredericadda]

Wow the purple Frankenstrat 😍

[@bbqlips]

I have a 1960's Sekova with a green burst...I also dig green guitars!

[@GuitarGuts]

Yes, they are awesome!!!

[@markgrant1302]

Great video, though Eddie never painted any of the Kramer's. They were all painted at the Kramer factory in New Jersey. The black stripes were never masked they used 2 pieces of cardboard which is why you have the overspray on the sides

[@majesticpbjcat7707]

That stealth frankenstrat is the best. I hit you up on IG about purchasing that a while back but, of course, things came up and set me back. Hoping I can still get one in the future! Cheers! \m/

[@GuitarGuts]

Well I still have that one, but it’s not listed anywhere. When you’re ready let me know and we’ll make it happen!

[@majesticpbjcat7707]

@@GuitarGuts you are the man! Also, I just found the channel like a couple days ago. I'm slow on the uptake! 😂 Good stuff, keep it up brotha!

[@slasher7555]

What would you charge for one of these or one of the Kramer 5150 style (The Dugan Guitar)? I'm Left handed as well and would rather not go with a cheap overseas replica.. and the only frankenstrat evh sells doesn't really look good to me at all. It just isn't right.

[@randykrumrey9452]

Great work, especially the stealth! Just curious...what is the need for a kill switch?

[@randykrumrey9452]

I just saw this explained in episode #6. Makes sense.

[@thepinkpantera9997]

man i fucking LOVE that black on black striped guitar!

[@anime_nerd6748]

I wanna get a green guitar one day, I want to switch to electric soon because the music I like can't be played on an acoustic could you please tell me what I should look for when buying one, I don't know much about guitars, I like the score, autumn kings, valley of wolves, and awake at last

[@GuitarGuts]

Well it really depends what your budget is, can’t go wrong with a cheaper Les Paul or a middle range Squire Strat for your first electric. But if you have a higher budget, then the options open up more.

[@anime_nerd6748]

@@GuitarGuts in your opinion what electric quitar is the most versatile, I want to try multiple different styles.

I have a site but all the latest ones sell before I have a chance to list them🤘🏼

[@figzor]

Whats with the lighters?

[@GuitarGuts]

Just a fun touch, like how eddie put a selector switch in his middle cavity, and eddie smoked and had the burn marks on the headstock, this is sort of a homage to that, plus if you ever need a lighter at band practice or at a show, there you go!

I have a similar collection bro I just don’t have the guts to sell em tho I get very attached to em
