The guitar is looking very nice, complete, and sounding great! As a 'dad' you are suffering from the normal symptoms of being a new dad...learning to adjust. I would suggest good vitamins to keep your vitamin c maxed to help keep your resistance high through the coming weeks of disturbed sleep. It does get better, especially when your baby grins!

Thank you. Honestly being a dad is great. Chasing the little lunatic around is good for me haha. My day job has just been crazy busy lately, which turns it into a night job as well. It doesn’t leave a lot of time for this stuff.

Hey Brad long time since I have watched your videos. Like you, I have had some changes in my life. I’m just getting back into building my own guitars again. Anyhow, I love the look of this guitar. I’m going to look into that bridge setup. Glad to see you and I will go check out the build from the beginning.

Hey Brad! Very cool build man, I like how you did the edging too. There’s a clear between the green top and the side / back portion 🤙 Great choices in colors too, the gold hardware with the green top and ambered back come together nicely man.

Very nice build and sounds good. For recording, there is always the option of a focusrite scarlett solo, and some mixing software. No need to worry about volume being too loud then as it's all through the computer. I just got a babicz bridge for a telecaster, love it and palm mute is very easy to do with it also. Look after yourself Brad, sounds like your getting sick, or just need a good sleep? Look forward to the next build.

I can't get over how beautiful that flame turned out. Ive been looking at doing a decent kit before doing a scratch build. I picked up a cheapy les paul kit from muslady. What an absolute POS.The neck joint is as loose as.......... nevermind , family friendly. Ive had it a year and it is half done. I would definitely have more ambition to complete a well made kit. Great job.

2 weeks ago, I found out that the babicz bridge does interfere with palm muting. I installed one on my friends guitar for comfort and the strings coming out of lower on the saddle forced him to palm mute higher up the strings "choking out" the PM. If the saddle were adjusted higher the action was affected. The only way to bring the strings to the top of the saddle (like a hannes) was to wither recess the bridge or angle the neck

@BradAngove 4 ай бұрын

I just demonstrated that it does not interfere. Tell your friend to palm mute against the edge of the bridge. It works great. That’s the right place to do it anyway as far as I’m concerned. Doesn’t make sense to try to mute right on top of a tunomatic bridge.

@tycarlock9690 4 ай бұрын

It does interfere. Not so much as it prevents palm muting completely but playing up ahead of the bridge like that chokes the notes more and sounds worse than muting above the bridge. If you're playing metal and you're a fast player, it's even more noticable. I've played TOM bridges for like 15 years so i know how to palm mute just fine.

@flama644 4 ай бұрын

I bought the Babicz as a Hannes alternative. You achieve different sounds in palm mutes depending on how far up you place your palm. The babicz takes away a lot of that "range"

@BradAngove 4 ай бұрын

Haha ok. If you’re someone who likes to palm mute right on the bridge for some reason then you should avoid this type of bridge and get a wraparound style.

Beautiful burst Brad, I’ll go back and look at the whole build vids now. May I ask how much $ we would need to put in to achieve a similar build?seems like precision kits are high end priced and added gold hardware and custom harness also don’t come cheep?

@BradAngove 4 ай бұрын

Yeah it would be a pretty pricey build. I’m not entirely sure because I get access to some of this stuff at a reduced cost I’m also working in Canadian dollars, but I’m guessing $1200-$1500 Canadian.

So the one thing I didn't see was the pickup installation - Soldering is neither here nor there, but I am curious as to where you got the pickup rings from? Did they come with the RailHammers? Was there any sanding you had to do to get them to fit properly? I just ordered my kit (same kit, different wood specs, etc) from PGK, and they didn't really have an answer. Thanks in advance!

@BradAngove 3 ай бұрын

The rings are just musiclilly. No sanding required; I got the carved top ones and they fit fine.

Brad. Thanks for all the trouble you take to produce these videos.I’ve followed your advice and the build of my first guitar is going very well. I have just finished spraying the colour coat and will spray the clear coat in 7 days.Will the Spraymax 2k bond to the meatalic colour coat or will I have to sand the colour coat first ?

It should bond. It would be better to sand it, but that might mess up the metallic look.
