Trash to Thrash #54 Alien Blood Kelly Star (Jackson Kelly Star)

[@TheGreatBaronOBeefDip]

I hate to say this but the playing at the end was out of tune.

[@GarthNGuitars]

I thought I was the only one who heard it

[@bstnlcge2662]

Killer build tuned like shit lmao

[@hizo64HH]

😂 yes, it is.

[@robotman7945]

😂👍🏻

[@fcaioki7949]

Yessir. After all that hard ass work and fine craftsmanship 😭

[@aliascent]

She's beautiful and has the perfect number of pickups. I wish Jackson had kept the KS in their catalog, it's such an underated shape.

[@D.Guitar]

I've rarely used a string retainer bar on my Floyd Rose locking nut equipped Guitars. No matter the headstock break angle. Because the locking blocks hold the string flat flush a strong.

[@lukeneely9476]

As a guitar player I'm ashamed of myself for not finding this channel sooner. Just sub'd and will begin my binge watch 🤘

[@TheAndostro]

10-46 all the time (d standard up to standard tuning)

[@METAlMASTERBRASIL]

SHOW GUITARS,,,GUITAR GUTS,,TRASH TO THRASH,,

[@D.Guitar]

Really Nice looking build But where is the battery? In the regular control cavity . In a sponge foam sleeve?

[@jesusalmaraz341]

10's or 11's for half step and standard anything lower tunings I use skinny top heavy bottom.

[@Thundercloud_Jackson]

I wanted a KSXT as a first guitar but I ended up with a DIME Slime still

[@krame99]

Man this should be turned into a tv show!!

[@speeddemon655]

i think this everyday

[@guitarstorms]

hell yeah

[@IZE83L]

Just keep supporting this .TV is dead

[@DanPellegrino486]

Was the break angle not enough that it needed a string tree, or does this sometimes even happen on stock/original Jackson necks?

[@foreveroutdated5739]

Hey mark, you mind checking my Email from last week?

[@AleArzMusic]

A Jackson Kelly Star in Eerie dess swirl finish, that's all I ask

[@shakebabyhitler]

Love the alien blood splatter! I'm thinking of reversing it, with black splatter on slime green.

[@metalhead8338]

Or i would see the original blood splatter🤔 i'll make one, and that will be a blood splatter

[@ironblast5]

Jackson logo on this would have looked way better imho

[@reddragontavern]

How do I contact you I’d like a Jackson Kelly build!!

[@slagmaggot]

Kelly star is my favorite guitar,next to the moderne

[@weavesworldmusic]

i want a kelly star!!🤩 saw one on reverb a while back but it was not meant to be.

[@justinorprecio3094]

This KZbin channel is making my medical leave a lot more bearable My favorite bit is the glow in the dark shark fin inlays. Niiiiiice 😅

[@guitarstuff4682]

Personally I like having 10-46 on my guitars with trems, 11s for solid bridges, and 13s for when I play in d standard and c

[@Scrunchychingo]

Maybe my favorite one so far. Do they make glow in the dark paint? That would sweet splatter on a matte black guitar.

[@guitarmanjoe9450]

I think an socket jack that some people usually put on teles but that's awesome guitar

[@1000poundsguitar]

Looks like a KNE body. They make fantastic guitar bodies. KNE Guitars

[@1000poundsguitar]

I’m currently wearing the same Guitar World shirt!! 😂

[@kanehicks9321]

I’d like me one of those please 🙏

[@cortarelva]

I would have rounded off the neck heel to make upper fret access more confortable instead of that huge piece of wood but that personal preference only. Great Job with that build.

[@sw4610]

Very nice. I'm a bigger guy, so my leg would go right where you put the output jack, so... good thing i'm not the customer.

[@ironblast5]

I always prefer the fender style jack on the back or the upper wing so you can still play 8n classical position with the guitar resting on your leg

[@warnerjeremy70]

Kick ass -sweet guitar-warmoth is killer and the body looks really cool

[@landlndumitru5578]

absolute beast!!!!!

[@michaelmetal71]

another sick creation! 🤘🏼🎸🎶great job mark that’s a guitar even the predator would be proud to shred on! rock on bro 👊🏼

[@dillavou444]

Love this one! Cheers!

[@vincevandergraff1508]

totally awesome build Mark! The Kelly Star has been on my bucketlist for quite a few years now. A real Battle Axe Of Destruction

[@Александршипов-ы1е]

Wery wery cool!

[@bertmiranda8103]

Looks great!

[@DruoxTheShredder]

where did you get that body!?

[@Heavy_Metal.Nerd-2005]

When it comes to guitar strings, I currently like an 11-49 set of D'Addario strings (tuned a semitone lower) on my Harley Benton EX-76LH and exactly the same set of D'Addario strings (tuned a whole tone lower) on my Harley Benton SC-400 SBKLH. Yes, I am left-handed, I would like to briefly note.

[@okeene75]

Love it!

[@paradisepythons4054]

That's an awesome guitar. I love the shape, and the paint job looks insane. I use glow in the dark dots on the top of my fretboards, they actually really help on a dark stage. I've just finished a fluoro green, glow in the dark Jackson Rhoads. The glow in the dark paint is really expensive and difficult to apply, you have to move back further than normal and it leaves a rough texture, almost like a foam. But it looks so awesome.

[@allkillergaming5623]

LOVED this build! Especially the glow in the dark inlays and side markers! As far as the strings go, I rocked Heavy Bottom Light Tops for years (10-52), but recently switched back to 10-46s. I’ve been relying more on my technique and EQ to get my heavier tones, and I’m appreciating the easier playability of switching back!

[@countzero5150]

Luminlays are great but those shark fins are dope. Love seeing the star builds, I can empathize with another star fanatic. I have a mess of them myself and I'm always on the hunt for more.

[@HOUSEOFHIXON]

Awesome job brother 🤘💪⚡️

[@D.Guitar]

That Over hanging fretboard for the 24 fret neck is why I never used warmoth necks. Since I really only like 24 fret necks ... I actually did a modification build and used a Rouge neck that was very similar. Overhang ... I cut the neck heel flat and added a block to bring it out to the end. Since I glue set my necks into body . I build 24 fret Dean ML style with Floyd Rose.. have You built any ,24 fret ML style Guitars?

[@caveman1586]

Definitely one of the cooler builds.

[@BaldPerspective]

I was originally not gonna watch since I'm not a big fan of the splatter-paint jobs, but did since I wasn't familiar with the Kelly Star body shape. All turned out well. What made you pick an 81 over an 85 for the pup?

[@lorenzodinatale4690]

Awesome creation as always, you never let us down 🤘🏻🤘🏻 P.S 0:13 when did you make this sick king v?

[@ProeGtr]

That guitar looks amazing man, also enjoyed the video but your guitar tracks aren’t slightly but EXTREMELY out of tune.

[@CheapGearJunkRiffs]

Dude you know I love my Jacksons! Wow what a beautiful alien blood Kelly star 🤘🤯🤘. I've got to say this might be my favorite build yet

[@heatnationwpb]

Thanks for the clarification on Randy's polka-dotted V brother! Loving the content

[@SonegPanasoneg]

Almost $500 for neck with glued headstock????😮 No, thanks

[@pvdguitars2951]

Absolute beauty. This guitar should feature on the new Overkill Scorched album!!!

[@mastergelo_rg550rfr]

beautiful guitar.. how is the access to the 21-24 frets? :) as to the string gauge I use 9-46 for E Standard and 10-52 for D Standard..

[@kengyang1908]

A Gibson V that Gibson too scare do,,, looks great, most traditionalists are sheep's, furniture wall hanger posers

[@jimdavenport2257]

If I had a high level Gibson, or Fender... I wouldn't do anything to it. But any other brand, quality level is up for improvement. Keep doing your thing!

[@titmusspaultpaul5]

LOVE this guitar. Looks fantastic and sounds awesome. Just wondering, have you ever done a swirl? Would love to see an interesting swirl but 2 colours not included the base. There are a few around with 5 or 6 colours but that's too much in my opinion. Adding a glow in the dark fretboard and matching light up kill switch (I would use a beautiful peacock blue base with maybe a lighter blue... not sky but a cool blue, and a contrast colour with a blue kill switch and black hardware). Maybe an EVH bridge pickup and possibly a neck pickup (can you get a 2 tone colour but instead of cream, blue to match the base paint and black.... I think I might want one for myself. How much would something like that cost (a kit body and neck like this is fine by me. Maybe an ibanez RG body or a Kramer body).... cheers, and great video.

[@stazrulez]

That thing is sick, the glowing makes the finishing touches on that. Have you ever thought of putting LED lights behind the fretboard to let the inlays glow and side markers glow? also DR DDT drop tune 12-60. we play in drop b flat/a sharp

[@leombele9310]

Hey I'm a huge Metallica and I'm having trouble picking a jackson dimeslime or a gibson faded flying v. Also love the videos keep it up

[@itsgmani]

I appreciate your videos. Glad you’re able to read those comments and keep on rocking. Keep it up man.

[@adamjones3299]

I’m taking a crack at building necks. I have a couple custom RG bodies that my uncle CNCd for me on the way. The first one (test blank) was actually a cutting board that he had made and he said it came out like shit, so…. #2 I believe is a 2pc (it’s what he had lying around) mahogany.

[@TIGERGUTS]

I play a .52 on every string. I just gallop low c# on every string like chord. Chord gallop all tuned to C#

[@MrDracolucassos]

never do output jack on lower horn for RR style guitar, I'm begging you, it's worst idea ever, it's ungodly uncomfortable for sitting down playing. You can do it on top horn, do it on the back as some solar guitars, basically there's ton of better options :)

[@diegodoesmusic]

Man oh man. It looks so wicked!!! 🤘🤘 you are such an inspiration when it comes to working on and painting guitars. Killer Guitar man 🔥

[@jswazz9264]

The extended fretboard shelf has me wondering? I have an old skool Kelly Star and it has a full neck beneath it. Is this a short scale? Nice job i like the Luminlay side dots. I would have liked the Input on the Upper Wing if it was mine. Nice looking though!

[@nickjack5009]

@guitarguts - where did you buy the body from? any online site/shop in particular?

[@jye_24]

U sir have easily become one of my favourite guitar teachers

[@Korndog7301]

Looks amazing 👀

[@cz875]

Beautiful guitar, as I always expect from your great works. The alien blood splatter, what paint are you using for that color? Is it also matte or gloss? Do you clear again over the blood splatter parts as well as when you clear the black to set it? You keep being you, and doing amazing guitar builds. If I get the money one day, I would love for you to re-do my first guitar, a 99 squier strat :D

[@Volgin.]

Only thing that I would change, definitely would be the input jack placement

[@Hamchickenfinger]

Love it! But in my opinion very bad placement of the inputjack… I guess that isn‘t your fault tho.

[@slayer666ere]

🤘❤️🤘

[@panos666]

question: what sort of paint did you use for the green splatter? and after applying that, did you apply any other spray on top of it? Thank you, your channel is great man, subbed!

[@funkdatshiz3970]

I love Dean ML's. This is pretty fuckin sweet, very close to same shape.

[@jfo3000]

The pickup looks pretty far from the bridge, like the early Gibson Vs. Wonder if it would sound like UFO (MS) with a period correct pup?

[@mtrhd.]

I know I'm probably late to suggest a hack for the truss cover, but why not cut it into some kind of a T shape that relies solely on the further screw to hold it in, while the string retainer screws can keep it aligned, and do away with the two nearest screws to the nut (the original truss screws). This way you would unscrew the one on top (closest to the tuners) and it would slide off to adjust the truss. An L shaped allen key would handle the adjustment, and that's that.

[@anderssvart3257]

Hey man! What's your string action on this beauty? In mm, if it's possible 🤘

[@GlecerioTorreon-fo3bc]

Why always use gotoh trem. I love kahler much. And its superior to all trem out there. It has all it should be no cavity etc. And very versatile

[@lllllsp1d3rlllll]

Thats a sick guitar.i would of dine a few things different but its still sick.i would put a 3k price tag on it.

[@TheSeriousWaterman]

Im considering doing a refinish on an Ibanez rg8, what paint do you recommend?

[@slamrahovart9024]

Who built the body for you?

[@muhhyayoo]

thats what i need to know too

[@DrMurdercock]

Poplar is like working with stone man. Shit is super hard PS,. it takes some skill and balls to drill those markers out of that 500 neck. Man, nerve racking lol

[@TheCadegoodspeed45]

Love the channel man keep it up! I have a warlock platnium series id love to get modded by you.

[@mrk4510]

Looks killer Man!! Great job!! 🔥

[@charlesrocks]

Where did you get your guitar parts? Warmoth? Also, I see that the fretboard isn’t flush with the body. Is there a reason why you didn’t recess the neck pocket a bit more to eliminate the gap between the fretboard and the body?

[@thepinkpantera9997]

I wish jackson would make guitars like these...

[@mattynes]

Classic guitar guts build. Nice stuff Mark!

[@hadleymanmusic]

I like single pickup guitars. I kinda fancy to a quadcoil and 3 way box switch

[@CaptainMosh1]

Damn, where did you get this body from?!?

[@dodobird8687]

I love this channel keep on painting guitars and making them look sick

[@Scourgeofmadness]

Awesome job , can You made one for me ? Greetings 🤘🤘🤘

[@MiBurnout]

That's a fckn rad custom! It looks furious 😤😤😤

[@jesusaguilera3803]

Was this body purchased by a private seller on eBay??

[@robertpeacock4609]

im a bass player wound love to build a kelly star bass kaher trem i have 2 usa jackson basses

[@KAPTEIN...]

For the next episode, can you try to re-finish a BC Rich guitar ?

[@heyitsgiggle]

Hey man, do you know if there is a soft case that fits this guitar? I'm about to buy one and I don't have a case for it yet. Just a Mono vertigo soft case that I'm going to pick it up in

[@twhontehwon200]

Will BloodIncantation play a non BC Rich when they see this?

[@redcometgunpla8978]

Do you happen to do kahler installs or builds with them?

[@matthewbradshaw1810]

What I want to know is where you were able to find the body? I want to build one

[@DavidJosephBoth]

needs thtat hum a lil closer to the bridge imho. great build though.

[@johnsurreal]

Very nice!! Cool video too, thanks!

[@simonkamakazi]

I tried to splater paint a guitar, its way harder than it looks

[@Jackie_Rosewood]

Looks hella awesome!!🎸🎸🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@MrNickRowe]

Should have put your logo on the headstock
