Great tutorial. I just ordered the American All Mahogany Tele. It comes with 11’s which I play on my Martin’s but I may want to change to 10’s on the Tele. I wonder how that would affect the action. I would assume if it comes with too much relief, 10’s would straighten the neck and give less relief without a truss rod adjustment. Thx.

If Norfolk Southern damages your home, sue the shirt off of them.

2:40 pick guard magically appears.

Pickup rings not setting flat on my axe?? I would not be digging that at all either.

Pittsburg tuning.

I am a big fan of Graph Tech TUSQ nuts. They have always worked successfully for me. A great material to file and sand as well.

I got one ..but kicks ass.

Are the two knobs master volume and tone or two volumes?

You do awesome technician work!

What ott steel wool are using here, looks like two different otts. And that you polish frets with the steel wool and no fretboard protection I'm presuming the frets arent too oxidized. I presume you are cleaning the top of the frets only. I need to clean mine but they are dulled on sides also..do you recommend I use same technique as you for cleaning or should I go all out and protect my frets with tape, or a steel template? Thanks!

Would you guitar grease under saddles or would that just be a dust and grime accumulater? Thanks!

Which guitar grease do you recommend and where do you you apply it in addition to nut. Thankyou much!

How much does it cost to get the whole works done on a bass or guitar like this, with the fret work and everything you did here?

EVH should’ve put black binding on that guitar

Good job. Thanks for sharing.

I like F1 Oil. It works and has a great smell. Double win.

Ive been watching your videos for a while. Always absolute great videos. Keep it up 💪

My wife got this for me for my Father’s Day present this year. I love it!! It looks beautiful, feels good, and sounds great.

"It's Always The G String."

Interesting humbucker and single coil in an ashtray setup on that one. I don't think I have seen that before. I guess that accounts for the different pickguard and knob arraignment.

It's not a Chibson!!! It's a Chan Charmstrong!!!

Not a solid top, there would be an "S" suffix if it were.

Praise the Lord for a hard tail Strat.

I had to re-wire one like that a couple of years ago. Wow that took some figuring out. I did get it right in the end. Thanks for the vis.

This setup helps me a lot. Greets from Germany

Is it possible to a fit a humbucker in place of the bridge single coil or would it need routing ?

So 300MMS huh, were you a cage guy, boardman, or topsode

Sorry, I use my Dremel as the final polish every time. Never a problem. Frets are super shiny.

I use Fret Guru all the time. I only have 1 cheap diamond file. I do use it thought. It works.

Hey... just a quick question... if I am upgrading my pickups on Larry Carlton T7 Telecaster to Gen4 Noiseless.. do i need to change the wiring as well? as it seems that now only middle position of my pickups is working, but overall it sounds waaaay too quiet on my amplifier and it is already on highest volume possible

I hoped to Hear more.

Thanks for the very nice review/demo! I just bought one of these (in the lemon-drop finish) and I think it's an excellent guitar for the money. It came nicely set up and intonated. The fingerboard is quite beautiful black walnut (it has a semi-polished finish). Fret ends are smooth with no sprout. I love Guitar Fetish's Kwik-Plug system. I have a Tele-style guitar from them that was so easy to upgrade the pickups, and their better/higher-priced pickups are still very reasonably priced.

I'm getting ready to install the KH20 and have been trying to figure out if the battery would fit in the control cavity, this confirmed I'll be OK. Thanks so much for your video!

I just got my first Spector Euro LX4 today and it came tuned to D. I'm used to basses with no truss rod like Zon & Modulus so my question is; if I bring my Spector to a shop is there a way for them to set it up so that I can play standard tuning, drop D & D standard without having to mess with the truss rod/bridge? Thanks. BTW - who's bass is this in the video?

Where can I find a bone bridge replacement? Or the equivalent to?

I'm wanting to buy one of these will they need a lot of work to be set-up properly?

hold on, are you sure that is not a Squier sonic telecaster, because my Squier Affinity Telecaster has string thru! ;)

Kadena! I was never fortunate enough to end up in Japan, but was at Nellis AFB for many years. Las Vegas was "terrible" as a single airman.

Is that Chad Zeumisch?

I'm going to attempt the height adjustment with the tilt screw like you did. I heard you say yours was originally at 9/64 which you called atrocious but I didn't catch what the recommended height spec is. Can you please tell me what you set yours to? This is a very pretty well built guitar, but being made in Mexico I'm guessing they didn't put much time into setup. Also I'd like to lower the action on the headstock end as well. Will I have to use my nut files or do they make an easy setup adjustment for that end as well? And I'm going to try a lighter gauge string because I'm used to lights and don't like the feel of the heavy gauge it came with. Do you have any suggestions on what tool to use to pull the bridge pins out with no to minimal damage to the bridge? The peg puller end of my string winder tool always seems to put a slight dent in the bridge of my cheaper guitar but I don't want to mar this one up. Great information and excellent video. There doesn't seem to be much out there on how to set one of these up. I appreciate you taking the time to post. This will help me a lot!

What are you using for the feeler gauge?

Been wondering what this bass would sound like with flatwounds and a piezo pickup that bypasses the built in electronics in order to get more of an upright sound. Hard to know without actually trying it. But if you have any thoughts, they’d be appreciated.

What tuners do you recommend for a 3x3 solid body electric? I am in the process of picking hardware for my custom SG build. I want to use all flat black.

I have never tried that Dunlop cleaner. Not sure I want to.

“Setup to play” and crammed into a box 2 minutes before quitting time on Friday!!!

I have this guitar. Can it be made as dive only so when i do drop D the whole thing doesn’t go out of tune? I searched but cant find it.

I bought a Gb24 cort jazz bass recently. $220 out the box no issues at all (just an ugly headstock) great value, put some flats on it, plays like a dream. A fraction of the price, maple and pauferro neck, poplar body with maple top (beautiful too) same as fender player series I believe? The only thing id do would maybe upgrade the pups at a later date (maybe) as a little more noise would suit my playing.

The large washer is supposed to be placed on the backside of the strap… with the e-clip locked into place over it.

Joey Ramone low height for me.
