You’re a very talented woodworker and the guitar looks beautiful. Amazing job!

[@BaradaGuitars]

Do you sell guitar?

[@BBQ1953]

In my humble opinion: you build amazing guitars but in my 57 years of playing and having owned over 30 guitars during that time, I must say that this ultra Strat is the most beautiful version of the guitar that I have ever seen. We didn’t get to witness it being played so I can’t speak to it fulfilling every element of my fantasy but still, its beauty has no comparison.

[@BaradaGuitars]

I'm glad that you like it that much! Thank you for your time and this lovely comment!

[@philoudmn3163]

Du travail d'artiste pour les mains d'un artiste. J'aurais aimé une petite démonstration pour le son. Encore bravo.

[@joebryant8500]

Not normally a fan of stained guitars or gold hardware let alone both. But what you've made there sure looks classy.

[@BaradaGuitars]

Glad you like how it looks!

[@goodgoat3096]

You are a true craftsman and artist, this is the most beautiful guitar that I have even seen. The gold hardware was the only choice with the warm wood tones. EXCELLENT!

[@jurgenzoller4407]

Top shelf guitarc with high quality parts and workmanship. But I have never seen such a beautiful, glossy oil finish. Just perfection

[@BaradaGuitars]

Many thanks glad you like it!

[@nospamhere1144]

OMG that guitar is gorgeous !!!!!! Excellent job...I'm jealous of whomever the owner is whether you or someone else......just wow!!!

[@raulmartinez3484]

That Stratocaster build came out beautiful! From the hardware choices to how you carved the body was something I haven't seen before. I built my own Stratocaster recently, but it doesn't come close to the amount effort you put into yours.

[@ngominh3050]

Made by hands very good

[@guitarsbymetaljay]

What a beautiful hand crafted instrument you have created!

[@stefano.salari]

Congrats, a very nice work indeed, inspiring and well documented! Thanks for sharing. It would be nice to hear how it sounds, too.

[@BaradaGuitars]

Many thanks, the next video will be very soon on the channel! Stay tuned!

Wow!!! It's beutiful amazing job....😁

Beautiful guitar!! Pur only some cotton inside the springs tremolo,to make'em noiseless

[@BaradaGuitars]

I did that but I didn’t film it. Thank you for your time

[@NicolaIIILombardi]

@@BaradaGuitars thank u for great videos!!

[@danelectr]

The best build!

[@jeffmckinnon5842]

This was a great series of videos and the guitar would be a pleasure to own. I don't think I would have made the same decision as you did when it came to the pickup rings not fitting and I am sure you were more than a little disappointed having to do that so the show could move forward. It just goes to show how hard it is to get everything fitting right on a hand built instrument with some ordered parts. This is not something that can't be addressed and I know you will remain aware and learn for the future builds that you do. Well done my friend

[@BaradaGuitars]

Many thanks for your time and I appreciate that !

[@barnsworth8402]

When drilling holes in the neck at about 6:34 , I would put a towel between the sanding radius block and the fretboard to avoid scratching the frets

[@BaradaGuitars]

I would do that if those are nickel frets, but with alu you can’t do anything to steel frets

[@TommySG1]

Great video - thanks so much! I’m having a Strat body built with all of this same stuff you used here. I did not know about the Claw adjusting mechanism from Schaller though so I ordered one straight away. It’s a beautiful finished look for sure.

[@BaradaGuitars]

Many thanks for your time! I’m glad that you like my work

[@TommySG1]

Oh my pleasure, as I mentioned to you I have the same hardware, well it’s almost the same. Schaller was making this in what I believe they called ‘vintage copper’ ( kinda bronze looking too ) it’s beautiful. It took me quite a while to find everything because I’ve read that they stopped making all of this in that finish sadly. I had to order a few parts from Germany & France too. I do wish they still made the bridge, tuners etc.. in this finish though, I can’t see people not wanting it to be honest. Thanks again, great video really.

[@TommySG1]

Oh, The one I’m making here is ( I am only assembling it, I’m having Texas Toast cut me a one-piece body out of Swamp Ash ) a Swamp Ash body which will be painted Mary Kay White and a solid rosewood neck I purchased from Fender and then all the Schaller vintage copper hardware of course 👍

[@Stratamania]

The bridge parts are called Inserts or Bushings that the mounting studs screw into.

[@BaradaGuitars]

Thanks for the info and for the watching!

[@dumbass626]

Just to add, some people would call them ferrules too hehe The same would go for some tuners like the vintage Fender and Kluson tuners

[@mikel4159]

Looks amazing man, the contrast of the wood and the hardware, I like it!!

I was waiting for you to play it.

[@denizgungor3459]

Actually, I can't stand with clear gloss finish on strat bodies. But honestly, this baby is fucking awesome. Good job boss... In the end, folks, please trust the power of gold parts!

[@BaradaGuitars]

Many thanks Deniz!

[@jasonrickett561]

Great work Barada guitars! One comment though, why not a hole in the rear cover to adjust the sure claw adjustment, without having to take it off?

[@adslalex]

Super video content and lenght, imma share it on the international guitar discord chat server! I'd kill to try this guitar, classy and well made :) smells talent and inspiration

[@BaradaGuitars]

Many thanks! Glad you like and maybe one day you will be one of my guitars!

[@jasonintriago5594]

amigo soy de ecuador yo tambien me estoy dedicando hacer guitarras LES PAUL Y STRATOCASTER me gustan muchos tu videos

[@kodi3881]

Absolutely amazing! No sound test though?

[@Exsomos]

It was perfect up until the last part... Personally I would have recessed the back tremolo cover like you did the control cavity, was very upset to see that. And lastly, NO SOUND DEMO?!?!?!?! Otherwise I watched all your videos from the start of your build, and you have done very well at building from scratch a very very beautiful and precise and high quality hand built Guitar and IMO what I think a Super Strat should be and worthy of bragging rights. Good job dude. Clap clap.

[@BaradaGuitars]

My dad has the same opinion like you about recessing the back tremolo cover, but I didn't want to go so far from the original design. The sound demo will be in the next full build video. Many thanks for your commenting and watching time ! Stay tuned!

[@MissYaBigMan]

I think the issue with your single coil pickup rings is that they're for a Telecaster neck pickup, which is much smaller than a Stratocaster single coil pickup.

[@BaradaGuitars]

maybe that's the problem, have to get more info about that! Thanks for watching

[@johnstitt2615]

@@BaradaGuitars I got the same kind of rings for the single coils for two different builds. One set of pickups fit like a glove through the hole, the other set did not. I had to lightly Dremel the hole to make things smooth. I checked and the package definitely said Strat pickup rings.

[@BaradaGuitars]

@@johnstitt2615 when I purchased mine they were described as Strat single coil pickup rings

[@johnstitt2615]

@@BaradaGuitars Yes. So we had the same issue. Fun times with a file or Dremel(not so fun.....lolol).

[@jeffmckinnon5842]

Ahhh, I never caught that one. Good call.

[@roberthuffman9027]

Sorry if I gave a thumbs down, did not mean to do that! Enjoyed the 3 part build series. Beautiful guitar. Curious, Why didn’t you recess the tremolo cover?

[@JordanSmith-fg6if]

What is the purpose of the metal foil put in the routed holes before installing the pickups?

[@zenmasterdude1362]

That's a beautiful guitar! Fantastic job! When do we get to hear it?

[@BaradaGuitars]

Within a week there will be a full build video plus the sound test. Thanks for watching and stay tuned!

[@bryanbrubaker8054]

I like the use of quality schaller products . Do you build the necks different if you use maple for the fretboard ( the skunk strip method ) ?

[@BaradaGuitars]

You could use both ways the strip method or without it, but the strip always gives a nice touch

[@kawakalypse2770]

Great work ans thank you for the tip with the Schaller SureClaw. Can you tell me the manufuturer of the single coil frames?

[@hectorheath]

Would like to see a V and Explorer.
