@Vashed555 22 күн бұрын
So, in the 60s, Fender hired Seth Lover to make them a pickup, and basically told him to just flat out copy the PAF he made for Gibson - he didn’t. I like that Paul sort of took Seth’s original marching orders from Fender R&D and made a modern version that would’ve pleased 60s Fender. Nicely done.

I wish I had pursued that skill further and started my own custom guitar company. Maybe there is still time. If my young son shows a passion for working with his hands like I did we will do something like that together. Working for fender custom shop must be pretty special.

My WOODTURNER friend says that wood, particularly Flame figured has soft and hard layers. This means when sanding the soft parts will be honed quicker than hard, naturally. THIS means no mater how the sanding is done a ripple effect on the surface is inevitable. This accounts for the different feel ie texture of a flame neck.
@anomalousresult 25 күн бұрын
If the sander is larger than the soft areas then it will be level surely
@roughcutguitars 25 күн бұрын
@@anomalousresultSpeaking as a fine finish woodworker turned guitar builder about 9 years ago amd having built just under 100 one, three, and five-piece necks from maple to mahogany to walnut and even poplar, nope. Again, it's not the sanding device/size. It's the nature of the grain - literally 'nature'. Softer portions simply wear down faster than the harder ones. Figured grain 'patterns' vary constantly - even within general categories "fine/tight vs wide" stripe, so that makes it not only effectively impractical, but impossible to adjust the 'face' size of your sanding device for every possible grain configuration. Regardless, whatever size sanding face you use, those softer portions of grain will 'pull' the grit while the harder ones resist it. But, hey, the Internet and blog dwellers are always hungry for the next debate fodder, so this should keep them satiated - at least til next month.

@stoneysdead689 26 күн бұрын
Anyone can feel it, it's really obvious. Flamed maple has different density to the grain and so when you sand it- you have low and high spots no matter what you do- and they follow the flames, which are the grain. Sanding with a really hard, flat sanding block helps- but nothing makes it go away and most ppl can feel it if they run their hand over it.

My issue is with the HEAVY relic, especially when I see two of them next to each other, with virtually the exact same wear pattern and it’s not a tribute (I.e. copy of a famous player’s guitar). I also feel like a little bit goes a long way, and, most importantly, the wear has to look authentic. These guitars that have 90 of the finish gone are so few and far between, in the wild, it just irritates the hell out of me to think about paying 5 grand for something like that. Tarnish the nickle hardware, wear off the back of the neck, again, within reason, but don’t make it look like some jackass drug it behind a pickup, down a mile of asphalt road. Simple really.

So THEN the question is FORGETTING the chains and whips and sandpaper to age a guitar which Master Builders are the most talented at building NEW guitars that feel and play like older classics?? Or put differently which Master Builders are crazy good at beating shit up?? Versus guys who just have massive talent in recreating a classic.???

11:25 Lee realising that he and most of y'all play incorrectly may be one of his greatest business insights; "STOCK THE SHELVES WITH BOOMER BENDER NECKS NOW!!!" (im obviously being silly/hyperbolic ...but when every second comment on any gear forum is about players with this style complaining about cramping on modern neck profiles with sharp fingerboard edges one takes notice. * And at this stage when most of the best high profile online tutors are all thumb over the top chunky neck devotees,...the "correct" classical adjacent technique means absolutely nothing now. It feels like a fundamental change, but im sure its just my confirmation bias, because it would be an issue too important to ignore.
@vw9659 19 күн бұрын
Lee: "I believe without the guitar plugged in, you can hear when the guitar is resonating versus when a guitar feels like it's subdued". Which is said in the context of guitar finishes, that is, assumed "resonance" of the body wood. There is no evidence that what you hear acoustically from a solid-body guitar is the body wood vibrating. It's mainly the acoustic sound waves direct from the strings you're hearing. Furthermore, if it were the body resonating by the strings' vibrations, more body resonance would not be good - because it would mean less vibrations remaining in the strings, that is, what the pickups see (an unavoidable consequence of the Conservation of Energy Law). "If you lower-wind a pickup on any guitar, it's easier to hear the natural acoustic tone of the instrument". By which from the above you presumably mean the body wood. Physics nonsense. Please, guitar salesmen, leave assertions about guitar physics to people who actually understand guitar physics.

Honestly, everything is CNC and these guys come in and put their touches on it. It's just fine but not as impressive as a person who builds it from complete scratch. I don't think it matters at all, except for the price. I respect the skill, but these guys can't build a Chifforobe or a roll top desk. 3-6K is way over priced for an electric guitar. It's a very simple case of construction and completion. Norm Abram would consider this a minor challenge.
