You had me with "Relaxing blues music" which I absolutely love. I really do need to learn to play guitar.

@danielmorris6523 Ай бұрын

It's been seven months since your comment so just curious if you started to play? I knew immediately as soon as I picked up a guitar when I was 17 (now I am 37) that it was going to become a new passion and in many ways it changed my life. Or at least, changed my finances and also made sure that no matter where I lived the one common thing when I moved out of somewhere was holes in the walls patched up from the wall hangers LOL.

@danielmorris6523 I'll be honest and say I still haven't begun to learn how to play the guitar. Shame on me. One day, that will change.

This is the first time I have seen your build, I sit here realizing I'm tired of buying and selling my guitars from dissatisfaction always believing it's that particular guitar from the manufacture that I prefer being Fender Stratocaster I recently heard another custom built Walnut Strat and the tone was the sound zi seek and un able to get, tried a few amps and again just frustrated with the sound I'm looking for. I loved your selection of background music seems your a man of few words at least from this video, I like your work, thank you

@morganoguitars2213 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Doug, thank you so much. One thing I've learnt over the years of playing around with guitars is that the wood type on an electric guitar makes very little to no difference of tone. From my experience it always comes down to the player, the setup of the guitar, the pickups and the amp. I think people love the sound of strats because of the single coil pickups. I'm working on a custom stray style build at the moment and can't wait to get it finished :)

I wish you hadn't put a battery on the body while gluing it. That type of added weight, if unsupported on the bottom, can bake a "bow" into the wood, and it can also cause the wood to separate many years later. You could remedy that by putting something underneath that supports the weight of the battery which would solve all of those problems.

It also means when I adjust the pickup height, that they are on a similar angle to the strings. Just a personal preference on this one I guess :)
