I forgot, It's one year of Dan's Studio and Workshop. So cool

Why the animal sounds????

Not really Epiphone's fault that P90's don't fit in a guitar designed for humbuckers.

The tonerider rebel 90s are pretty good humbucker-sized p90s for the money. Only come in nickel finish, though.

Guitars are so stupid 😂 sometimes it's a fight to get it right 👍

Nothing ever "just fits right in." Especially with a Gibson or Epiphone. But it looks like it might make a nice guitar - one of these days... I have two '60s vintage Gibson SGs - they've never been easy to live with. But I will say - both have P90s, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Both left the factory with P90s, but one (a Junior) had been modified by the time I got it, and had a humbucker in it. I used it like that for a long time, but finally had to put a P90 back in. My retrofit is not cosmetically pretty to the trained eye (or any eye that takes a careful look), but it sounds so much better now - to my ears, anyway. So my $0.02 worth ==> it might not be cosmetically perfect, but it will sound better with P90s. My other recommendation would be to use 250K pots with the P90s. But hey, what do I know?

Cant wait to see more, she is really pretty. Just needs lots of TLC and Love and she will pole dance again.

I can make a hanger for you'z

For Sale

Hey Dan! Looking forward to see Molly here featured on your channel 😀

My brother just gave me an old 1971 Balladeer that needs a lot of work (he knows I like a project.)

Nice setup, Dan. Thanks for sharing!

Dan , you’re my new favorite Utube guitar dude !! Kinda remind me of my other favorite Dave’s World of fun stuff !!! Good humored straight up old school stud !!! Love it !!! 😎

Wow the happiest in life I've been it when I'm playing music

It's called Tarist not Marist

There's a lot of parts that are not original on this guitar

The back ground music is my creation

Sold

I'm not a good guitar player, LOL

Loving this Guitar

My Hip's were so bad I speed up video. Two new hips as of May 2024 and I should be able to a few month to start playing again. Cheers

I need to check out the glitter sticks ones soon

hi unkle dan

Hi, why did you disassemble the whole bass? I think the fret job and polsih could have been done with the neck on. I would even leave the bridge. I have the same bass and the toggle switch made problems, so i reconnected it

414 is made in Indonesia for what i know. Its written in the label backside of the body behing bridge. I have the red burst coloured one. Like it a lot. Though that orange colour would be more awesome.

I see the shim in my Ovation and just tried to extract it, but it seemed like one side was connected by a small wire? I felt I’d have to force it out, or snap something. Any words of encouragement?

Stress test? You need to be stressed first. I havent seen that in a few yrs....😎

Where you at, big guy?

loving the modded Star Caster

Thanks to the guitar geek.

everything is smaller then you think.

😂 I was not expecting that 🤣

I like eggs

Too much fun LOL

Dan, nice job with the violin, it was interesting 😊

Interesting

Ah, yes, the single-action truss rod, the speed bump in my own Starcaster project! I picked up mine from a Goodwill where it was sitting with no strings on it. I eyeballed down the neck to see if there was any twist, which checked out fine, and the relief seemed ALMOST flat to me. I figured, "Even if there's a little backbow, the truss rod will help correct it..." And of course it turns out it's a single-action truss, so there was no help to be had there! To make things worse, not only was it kept without string tension for so long, but also the truss rod was still engaged to help it stay in a slight backbow! Given the girthy dimensions of the neck, my eventual solution was to put heavier gauge strings on, tune it UP +4 semitones ("G# Standard" tuning?) for extra tension, and leave it on top of the cabinet in the bathroom for a month where it could soak up all that lovely steam. Eventually it got the board to at least a flat plane unstrung such that a set of 9's was enough tension to keep a slight bow in it. Plays well, currently! The fret job from the factory was actually pretty good.

Haha, currently working on a Starcaster myself, so I know the surprises they bring! Mine has a maple fingerboard, but it's a cap -- there's no skunk stripe on the back! Apparently they'd made them with whatever extra parts they had around the factory floor at any given time, so specs would vary wildly between runs.

Very cool! Now what if there are no shims and still too high at 16th fret? Ideal at the nut. USA made standard Balladeer shallow bowl with standard sound hole.

I got the arrow head starcaster neck but I stuck it on some cheap fake fender body and it didn't fit that well, I wonder if I can buy any star caster if it will fit right.

Checking "fret BUSS ?"

more video's on this STAR-caster, one problem after another. LOL

I turned it into a hardtail

I guess I don't know the whole story behind this guitar, Told one thing then another, so how knows. Plays nice an the end

so much fun working on this guitar.

I love this Bass

What did you use to clean it with, i seen Windex in the background?

I just discovered the shim thing and adjusted my already good playing 1612 Ovation. Wow what a difference the adjustment made. LOVING IT EVEN MORE NOW!

is it an S6 ? I play my first S6 now for 17 years and I still love it...
