What strings do you use?

Very nice work, I’m considering doing the same thing here. You’ve convinced me!

There are many ways to drill these holes. The method shown here seems to work ok but I prefer to drill to depth using the index pin instead of just marking the hole location then drilling without the index. I think my way is more accurate. I would also run the brad point drill much faster than shown here as it is more accurate and produces no tear out of fibres. I also think that drilling on a mill using a digital readout, X-Y coordinates etc., is a bit of overkill and not needed, but each to his own method. Thanks for providing the video. Cheers...

Learned something new, cool trivia about the old yellow sunbursts

I drilled mine on a mill using a digital readout, X-Y coordinates. Dead nuts. I had previously tried the template route. Nowhere near as accurate.

Great build! I am working in a pine 54 P bass right now. Your build looks awesome! Greetings from Mexico.

Wow, it looks actually feasible! I was thinking of doing this to my Washburn 6 string. Thanks!

What exacly is the blue tape you used?

What type of Acetone are you using? Great Video Mate!

Good for chords, maybe, but then you lost me

What’s it like bending strings on such frets? How different is it bending across a fret that moves “forward “ vs “backward” from the note’s original spot on that fret?

Timely video - I was just starting to look into how to add leather to a guitar body. I've got my eye on some cheap hot pink leather snake skin for a classical which had been converted (poorly) to a fretless.

Great job, it sounds amazing in P bass mode

Maybe whoever fitted those EMGs only liked the "both on" PJ setting. I've got a set of PJXs fitted to an Aria SLB bass and I find the P pickup too boomy and the J pickup too shrill but with both on it's a really good sound. Awesome work sir!

🤘🍻

i love this, im thinking of making one for my dc junior!. where did you buy the Vulcanized fibre board from. Im having trouble finding it in the uk.

very nice bass you made there! Greetings from Mexico.

do the frets work when not straight what do they call that thanks

I love it. Great job!

Such a cool idea.

Cheers mate! I just came across your channel. I recently picked up a second hand Squire Jazz bass that I want to refinish. I'm going to this. Did you make your spray handle, or did it come from a luthier supply shop?

Perfect video. No BS, just step-by-step, quality knowledge. Excellent craftsmanship too mate - what a stunning finished product!

Superb job! I'm have my luthier/guitar refinisher paint a mahogany Tele body and neck for me. He's never done a TV yellow finish before. He's having a lot of difficulties. I will have to share this video with him. I'm afraid that he going to have to remove everything down to the bare wood and start again.

What an amazing thorough fact filled video, just what I am searching for and, so, like, thank you very much,

B MINUS ONE standard tuning. Damn son.

I don't understand why you just don't drill though the body with the 1/8" bit from the top. Then remove the bridge and drill your 5/16" string ferrule hole. Any slight burring on the back from the 1/8" bit will be hidden by the larger bottom hole. This would save scratching up the front trying to get the index bit into the six different holes. I suppose you could tape up the front to reduce the chance of marring. I suppose the other way to be even more careful with the front, is to place the pin in the guitar (assuming shallow holes) and move that pin into the MDF hole so you are marring up the MDF and not the face of the guitar.

please tell me what strings you used for this project. I'm also looking to build a long scale guitar but can't find strings long enough.

Is it thicker than a regular SG? Looks quite a bit beefier)

How to turn oak into wenge, looks good

Nice

Genial 👍

A huge improvement to the nasty quacky standard Strat

Хороший звук👍

Gorgeous!!!😮

great, informative video. thx!

Beautiful ❤️ bass and great choice of materials used. It is refreshing to see more and more people flocking to 32-in scale basses. I bought my first brand new base in 1981, an Aria Pro II TSB-400 which has a 32-inch scale and I've been playing it ever since. I noticed lately a lot of KZfaqrs praising the 32 inch neck scale. There are only now figuring out something that I've known for over 40 years and that is how perfect a 32 inch scale bass is for both playability and sound quality. I'm going to be reaching out to see what you charge for a custom 32 inch bass. Keep up the great work! 🤗

Very nice result!

Beautiful guitar ,very nice craftsmanship, sounds as good as it looks too , but i could go on too ,really enjoyed watching,and listening,thank you for sharing!!

😮🔥👍🏼

What did you use to seal the decal before dipping it in water? Nitro? Something else?

Cool build! I just got a tele w p90s and I’m gonna rewire it , what size pots and caps did you use w those bare knuckles?

nicely done

so nice please tell me is black gloss paint with or separated paint +laquer many thanks

How long did you wait for the laquer to dry before applying the decal? The next day? Im currently planning on 10 days which is what stewmac recommends for the absolute minimum time before polishing the colortone laquer. And I assume I have to have a decent polish under the decal when I apply it or is the orange peel invisible due to the adhesive?

I 'auditioned' several guitars with P90s to find the one whose tone I liked best. From a crappy Harley Benton Les Paul Jr clone, to the Epiphone LP Jr version of same, two Gretches, a Gibson Les Paul Jr, a Les Paul with 2 P90s, and a Godin. The best P90 I played, by far, was a Fender Noventa Telecaster with one P90. Mexican build. Whatever it was about the Fender P90s, they were SO much better. I bought the Strat version with 2 P90s. I had the Jazzmaster with 3 P90s, but returned it the next day, it was too heavy & 3 P90s is just cosmetic. The Bare Knuckle 'Pig P90s seem to be the top of the lists, with Fralin & Seymour Duncan's "antiquity" series mentioned often as well.

Can you share the dimensions of the neck seat?

Hi Manton Customs, I appreciate your video very much. Presently I also try to put a decal on a type of "roasted headstock" (dark wood). I put 3 coats of wipe-on poly (excellent laquer) on the headstock, then placed the decal on it and put another 3 coats of wipe-on poly over it. Like in your video (starting at 5'50min) I then tried carefully to wetsand over the decal, to bring the outlines down and to remove the "opague" white shadow under the decal. I tried that with a 1500 grid wetsand-paper. At the very beginning it worked outstanding, but what a pitty, suddenly I sanded into the decal somehow and the letters in the decal were ruined. I can't understand, how this was possible, because I was very careful and the 3 coats of laquer couldn't be sanded through this fast, because I didn't use pressure while sanding. Could you tell me , what I did wrong ? Would appreciate your advice very much. Cheers Roger

So glad you told that story about doing that when you were 15. I just did with all 4 headstock screws and I feel so stupid. My 10th guitar first time it’s happened. After watching this video I’m confident it can be fixed. Thank you so much! I’ll keep you posted.
