Kurt Cobain started to use the Vandalism Strat while on tour after recording Nevermind in around 1991, the Vandalism Strat got smashed up by Kurt on several occasions and the original Fender neck got replaced a few times.

Two white single coil covers and black for HB is a sharp touch on a black Strat! Congrats, Rob!

@@theguitarmanifesto indeed and I am not a fan of black guitars unless they're satin finished ie antique look, but she's a beauty. perhaps you can build your own line one day soon. I'd buy one and so would many other subscribers! 🎸

Nice build, the black strat with the white pick guard and hot tail in the bridge. He smashed it as usual is here in Cleveland at the rock hall. His morsite is also here, I’d imagine they have more down at the archives building. Both cool places to visit if you’re ever over here.

He smashed it twice but not in Cleveland. He smashed it at the Paramount theater in Seattle and finally in France in December 91

It's weird seeing this being build again since I saw the 1st video of you building the 1st one and demoing it, But hey so far my vandy strat,s been good although the B in the sticker sadly has disappeared due to wear and playing with it, including a bit of the courtesy word and not to mention the left side now has a Black smudge in it, but eeh it's all part of the wearing when you use it extensively hehe 😉.

I love you video mate, all of them to be honest.. but I do wonder If Kurt Cobain ever imagen that people would be put tape on their guitar exactly on the sabe place where he randomly put his for a gig or whatever.. hahaha but I`m criticizing I`m nirvana fan myself that's why I keep coming back to your channel. PS: man I think you may like my band from London, M FILES - A beam of light (album if you feel like checking)

You might want to check the humbucker wiring, looks and sounds like you’ve wired it up as a single coil.. If it’s just 4 wires you want to connect the red a white together and heat shrink them out of the way, green will be hot and unshielded is ground I think…

Your strings look like the fake Ernie Ball's from another video I just watched. The crispy sound to the bag, and the end cut are off. Were they REALLY cheap? Not knocking, just warning they are out there, apparently pretty common now.

@theguitarmanifesto Жыл бұрын

Nope they're from a local guitar shop who I know orders them direct from the Ernie ball rep, I've been buying them off the same shop for over a year or so, used them on various builds on the channel
