Wow! This thing sucks!

[@chrisp.5482]

I'd definitely watch that video. Let 'er rip

[@MichaelBrewster-x7n]

Friend of mine had one you can blend the neck pickup in with the resonator pickup or vise versa,its always good to know how to set up a suspect guitar

[@Notaluthier]

Yeah…I thought there might be a hidden transducer…will investigate

[@adammono1839]

I'd like a little repair video then a BIG video on what you would buy instead with the same money. Maybe an old electric neck and a log?

[@Notaluthier]

Love me a good log!

[@MisterJWJ71]

DO IT! DO IT NOW!!

[@iandeare1]

Probably! There's no shortage of how to videos... But equally no shortage of how do you... questions!

[@ChristofferNelsonG]

Well, that sounds like a Jay Turser. There's cheap, and then there's Jay Turser. The last one I worked on was so garbage I used it as literal firewood.

[@Stlie1]

Not everyone can afford a National, these are low end options. I'd love to learn more about them. Pros and cons

[@Notaluthier]

It’s certainly a lot of guitar for the tiny amount of money…you have to wonder who’s suffering to make such a low cost item.

[@ArturBrzozowski444]

Yes!

[@brettbunke9096]

Mod that thing out looks like a standard neck joint . Refinish it put a vintage pick up in it a new neck make it cool it’s got potential 😆

[@BrianNatonski-wt3mv]

Think of it this way... We can't afford Fender custom ship or Paul Reed Smith Artist signature models, I buy my crap at the pawn shop... And turn it into playable crap. After about 6 months of fidgeting, it starts to resemble a decent guitar. Anything you can share to speed up that process would be appreciated. Major points are electronics and frets!

[@Notaluthier]

I can’t afford any of that crap either, but luckily I have less than zero interest in new guitars!

[@Notaluthier]

Also coming soon(ish) a video about what tools to buy/not buy and make

[@parengstrand3101]

​@@Notaluthier oh yes. That would be great!

[@STAY-GOLD-VINYL]

I have a Jay Turser Les Paul copy and it’s a beaut! Plays very well and my guitar technicians all dig how it sounds and plays. Luck of the draw

[@Notaluthier]

Totally hit or miss. This one should be decent with a bit of work,

[@nelsongalarza5452]

Fix it, record it an give it to us 🎉

[@catabolita]

A video on guitar setting would br great!

[@TheVirakahScale]

Dude that's so cool! So weird, I love it!

[@Notaluthier]

It has potential…I’ll give it that

[@TheVirakahScale]

@@Notaluthier That rough huh? My experience with JayTurser has been all solid bodies.

[@Notaluthier]

It just needs some love! It’s a solid build for the price.

[@edwardpetersen4309]

I bought a cheap resonator and the well lining that the cone sat on was cocked, so I was never gonna get the action correct unless the biscuit saddle was about 1 inch high on the treble side, or unless I removed the lining and straightened it which is what I did . . . The sound wasn't worth it. But I'd like to see what you do to make this thing play.

[@Notaluthier]

Initial inspection of the saddle on this one is suspicious (cocked) at best as well

[@lbleekemolen]

Yes please!

[@ffsrdr6596]

I like watching you because i love learning, and i have a classic collection started, with a 1968 G es335, and a silvertone 1448, both are playable but i would like to learn some tricks to either completely fix or keep the tuning stability in these classics, im still young and broke so maybe someday ill get to fix em

[@ffsrdr6596]

You wouldn't believe this man, I got the Gibson for 200 bucks

[@ffsrdr6596]

And I got the Silvertone with the amp and the original cord for 60 bucks

[@STAY-GOLD-VINYL]

DO GUITAR SETUP VIDEOS!!!!!!!

[@markwood4200]

I sure enjoy your videos, TV cable suck bad. Then, I find you. Freaking awesome..ty

[@Notaluthier]

Cable is unwatchable!

[@Mac_daddy0316]

That looks like Oliver Anthony’s guitar

[@Andy62bass]

I’d watch that. Be interesting to see how you sort it out. Right now it’s woeful.

[@60sfoley]

Yes, video please on how to set up a s..t guitar.. it will help me with my collection 😂😂

[@stepvanjoe3469]

Yeah be interested to see that

[@shinitaisenpai9057]

that looks EXACTLY like the Harley Benton custom line resonator that thomann offers edit: sounds and plays like one, too!

[@Notaluthier]

Probably! Bunch of white-label Chinese slave labor peddlers.

[@jasonpillingmusic]

Yes...a lot of "shitty" guitars are salvageable if people are willing to put in the labour.

[@Notaluthier]

And the same goes for a lot of expensive guitars too.

[@StratTalkin]

Does it even have a truss rod?

[@Notaluthier]

I mean…there’s definitely a hole for a hex key in the headstock…haven’t tried it yet.

[@archloy]

Yes. You have to make this video. Period. :D

[@dfcpuk]

Of course.

[@DrDizzleFrizzle]

Jay Turser? I'll pray for you

[@skullheadwater9839]

What else do you have to do, fix it if you can, or mod it to sound better. just don't waste any money just do whatever, I'd watch.

[@Notaluthier]

It’s for a client, who wants higher action and heavier strings! The strings are binding at the nut, the neck is bowed, the electronics are loose, and nothing is grounded. It’s both a simple, and not simple job.

[@ozmobozo]

I was going to say that doesn't look very new and you said 2019. It's an interesting thing for sure, not sure if I like it though.

[@Notaluthier]

To me 2019 is new! The only “modern” guitars I’ve worked on in the last several years were from the 90s

[@lukespread]

Most certainly you should make that video. Silk purse from a sow's ear, well within your abilities.

[@oaygdhw7]

Yes.

[@edward1007]

Yes, you should, I made a shitty guitar, it’s shitty, and I wanna know how I can make it playable lol

[@tyschmidt7404]

I’d watch you make breakfast. You rock! Yes set it up

[@petergouldrup4317]

Fix it, play feebird then throw it in the ocean!!!😮

[@Notaluthier]

It’s not mine! So I think I’ll give it back to my client when it’s done, though it would be a good candidate for an oceanic adventure

[@BoredoldPunk]

Yep. Tricks to make shitty guitars more playable.

[@ukebox00oftheworld63]

Yesss dooo it

[@darlacurrey-colter3844]

That looks like a forgotten Christmas gift for a spoiled 12yr old! Hahahaha 😉

[@Notaluthier]

Alas, it’s the result of an unwitting customer of an unscrupulous guitar store.

[@scottbubb2946]

​@@NotaluthierWhen I was a lad, I bought a Kramer at a local shop that has since gone out of business. It wasn't even being sold as used. This was the first guitar i ever bought from a music store. The one i started on was a no name Les Paul copy i bought from a friend. Anyway, the Kramer had a Floyd Rose system on it and that was the first time I had ever used one. I had always heard they were great. Right away I didn't like it and I couldn't understand why everyone else seemed to. After a few months, the paint on the F.R. started to flake off to reveal nothing but rust underneath.

[@robertquinn9490]

yes

[@derrickharmon7980]

Ya could even make series of bringing back impossibly challenged setups and just some of the crazyness that happens from knuckleheads who didnt have any buisness touching a guitar. 😂

[@jamesonpace726]

yeah, sure, I guess....

[@Spike42069]

YESSS

[@gabriellongworth]

🤪

[@barryconner7310]

Please do because I have something very similar!
