Siiiick job man!
i realize it's quite randomly asking but do anyone know of a good place to watch newly released tv shows online ?

@Zaire Callan Thanks, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :) I appreciate it!
@Casey Reid Happy to help =)
This is awesome! Actually, a nice work. Few things to consider:
1. Trust rod cavity cover (man, that hole looks awful).
2. Fully enclose electronics.
3. Scratch the paint from the bottom of tuners to allow them to make proper contact with grounding wire.
This!
You could also scuff the tuners gently at the points where they touch _each other._ That way if one isn't getting a good ground contact directly, it can at least hand the job off to one or both neighbors. Or if he's really adventurous, he could silver solder the whole mess into one solid block and never have a problem again -- electrical OR structural.
I think painting truss rod cavity would look better than that cover that was originally on it.
When are you going to do the "converting 4 string bass into a 9 piece drumset" video?
For a first prototype you should be pretty excited! It looks great and the only objective thing to change would be the ground wire as it doesn't ground properly
the moment i saw this my jaw dropped. such an underrated channel and such a talented dude
I have always dreamed of having a headless guitar. They just look so cool. I also messed around on one at a local music shop, and I felt like a total badass just holding the thing. Of course, it was a $3000 instrument, so I couldn't even come close to affording it, but it was still a cool experience.
Love what you are doing, man. I'm not personally into headless but I love your DIY approach to it. Props to you.
good god i would NOT have been able to mnake that massive ccut without my heart jumping out of my throat, i'm impressed you were able to do it man
binge watching all ur videos im hooked
you're like the Michael Reeves of guitar modding
less crack and quirky though
OMG You got serious balls to do this.
It makes me sad to see “10 views” on a channel I like
Amazing dude! This malkes me want to make my broken headstock acoustic headless 😂
You're now officially the most underrated channel on youtube
Keep it up man, that 9 string looks so fucking cool headless.
Killer prototype man! Don't be so hard on yourself mistakes happen 👍🏻 You will know what to avoid on the next one! It still works and I can't say that about my own mods lol.
I like the idea of you working on kits. See how creative you get!!!!
Any specific ideas?
@@SaidTooMuchProductions I made a headless flying v -id just look at lots of kits and just think what if I took this and put it on this
@@SaidTooMuchProductions emmure style telecaster with a killswitch and built-in octave up button?
cool vid, this channel is really underrated.
Yo great job man! Its about by time someone did this!
Solid man. I love your courage to just do something nuts sometimes. This is a great project and I agree, awesome starting point.
I love the look!
This is the most brave thing I've ever seen done. Congratulations on finishing this project and not succumbing to an anxiety attack. Very well done dude. I am thoroughly impressed.
I'm not into headless instruments much, but I'm truly impressed by this. I'm in several guitar builder communities on Facebook, and I'm sure you and the groups would benefit from the ideas tossed around.
This was such a neat build! As you said, first prototype design. It is how you learn the details to do it better the next time. We often forget. The Strandberg guitars were not created in one attempt either. They probably had a lot of iterations and tweaks..
I feel inspired now. I had been wanting a headless for a while now too, but I had not considered trying to adapt a regular guitar. Thank you for the video!
you might be over analyzing. you did an awesome job converting it and it is still playable, thats a win for sure.
Actual maniac. We salute you
For what's it's worth, you could easily make instruments for a living. Fkin wizardry the types of mods you make. Basically making a guitar from stratch
My man could make a custom shop where he mods guitars for a honest price.
he mounted the tuner crooked and didnt bother to fix it.... no he couldn't.....
@@TheEowli I mean if he would get really serious he could, he's clearly doing things like these on the fly and to him it's hobby,if he would make it a full time thing he would be more effective and correct.
This is awesome bro cool stuff
I've been waiting so long for this video and you definitely delivered! I'm glad that's you're inspired to dive deeper into the world of headless!
One thing I haven't seen explored outside of Matt Heafy meme-ing and Traveler collabs would be headless singlecuts (LP/EC, not Tele), which is why I custom ordered one from 10s that they're currently making. The issue that occurred was being unable to accommodate a more standard scale length, having to go baritone to preserve the shape. I'd be more than happy to email you the initial design if you're interested, thank you for your musical genius and reading my banter!
Sure saidtoomuchproductions@gmail.com
You should try to make a guitar out of as much 3D printed plastic as possible.
its BEAUTIFUL, never thought of cutting off the back of the body and leaving a hole under the saddles, really cool.
hope i can make my own 9 string headless someday.
totally love the idea of messing with headless guitar kits.
This is such a cool idea, major props for doing this to your 9 string which isn't exactly a cheap instrument to mod to this extent.
Great watch! Love the 3d printing... Can't wait to see what more you come up with from this... I liked the slats BTW... Cut the wings and add a 3d printed body would cool
Really nice work, i would have left the bottom part out and route new holes but I guess it works
That’s so brave of you to take a saw to one of your instruments. That’s something I could never see myself doing. I can’t wait to see what other cool projects you come up with.
That's why it's taken like 6 months to fully commit to and complete lol
Headless guitars are just guitars with less wood and metal, yet they’re more expensive. So you’re basically paying more for less
It does require more specific parts but it definitely still doesn’t justify the price
@@benlow46 for real and I know I was just being sarcastic
I think the kit idea is a good one!
it looks quite good and i like the concept!
Glad to see you actually went for it, it looks sick! I was wondering though, why use a 3D printed piece for the body gap instead of reusing the part of the body you chopped off and cutting out the same shape? I’d imagine having the same wood and neck through pattern carrying on through empty space could look pretty cool along with the fact that the transition between the two pieces should be much smoother and the control cavity’s already routed out
I think it's because he didn't have a saw that could do that he said he only had a table saw
Ya, I only have the table saw, I still have that half of the body laying around if I want to try in the future
@@SaidTooMuchProductions if you were careful, you could do it with a coping saw which shouldn't be too expensive
For the price of the roll of filament you could of gotten the cheapest trim router or a router head for your rotary tool, and just routed out a recess for the new bridge pieces. Would of looked better and saved loads of time
i love the way it looks but imo it just needs to be cleaned up a little
oh man... he started routing out that bridge spot and I reactively blew on my screen to try to get rid of the sawdust
This is madness and I love it.
I really really liked this one I actually think the 2 toned look looks cool but hey to each there own I hope that you make a 2.0 like with your other projects showing the improvements you made this was an amazing video but was that really a suprise?
Djent on man🤘
I'm so glad you made this video because Ive been thinking of doing this to my Brice (Agile) 5 string multiscale bass for about a year now but I'm scared to lmao.
I know the feeling lol
@@SaidTooMuchProductions I think im gonna finally do it soon. What is the hardware at 4:37 called?
@@TheAngryFapper www.ebay.com/itm/401882062303 that's the purchase history page... they used to sell individual I'm pretty sure and I'm not sure why they're calling it bass, it literally looks like the same thing... idk, shop around for yourself, it came from china and took like several months if I remember
i guess they are individual, but I don't remember spending that much for 9 total, I bought a set of four and a set of five seperate... idk, a lot of people have expressed frustration over finding the right hardware
@@TheAngryFapper btw, give me updates on instagram dm or saidtoomuchproductions@gmail.com and I promise I'll see you, I just happened to see this because I opened youtube now, or else I may have missed it
Do a headless 6 string bass next.
It seems like you got it playable. I would do a part two and make a face plate to make the 3d-printed expansion sit flush with the body. Even a revised extension would pull it together a lot better. A little paint and/or sanding and you've got a solid axe🤙
I myself would have taken off more wood cutting off the horns and only leaving the arm rest and the lap rest thus turning the contraption into a 9 string travel guitar,- which I think would be cool af.
Pair it with a 5 string short scale bass and you´d have the beginning of a compact lightweight laptop studio where every single item could be fitted into a custom made flightcase and you´d be good to go,- record virtually anywhere....
Hmmmmm......
Just might have myself a new project here....
Good one. :)
Time to whip out a U-bass with roundwound strings and sound just like a P-bass or J-bass, in an instrument that's only a bit over two feet long...
I actually think this looks so cool!
Good job 👍. Very scary to watch though 😬😁
You could also make some of the other instruments headless so that way their lighter.
This looks freaking sweet but at the end of the day it's how you feel about it man
Well this helps me know I shouldn't severely mod a guitar without a background or experience in heavily modding guitars
Dude, that thing is really awesome and I actually think it looks hella cool. It looks way easier to play, too. Is that the case? Also your tone and intonation sound nice and tight even at such a low pitch. I heard eliminating the extra string material behind the nut actually helps with that
very innovative IMHO i was searching for some ideas to convert my really cool Ibanez S5470 into headless
that way i won't have to buy a crazy expensive Mayones/Stranberg/Kiesel CustomShop N wait 4 months to get it
Very cool man
I do really like the fact that you added a frame on the body. You ever hear of Glarry? That's where I get a lot of my experimental instruments. You'll want to replace pickups and hardware, but at the price, they're the best experimental instruments I've come by so far.
Harley Benton also sells cheap multiscale guitars
Good tip for recording if your guitar isn't grounded. Tie a guitarstring around your toe and connect it to something metal
..not a terrible conversion..would love to hear this get on some jazz..
Headless instruments are rad! I have an 80s Kramer Duke with an aluminum neck and that thing rips.
Man this guys cool
Мужик, ты нереально крут!!! =]
damn that seems pretty light.
@UCQoElgBw4Rb5zI37trQvGZQ
Wow, you made this instrument lighter and much easier to carry. I've seen you use the Harp Tuning (A2, B2, C3, D3, E3, F3, G3) on a 7 String with a slide and it created the new "Lap Steel Harp". Darmon Meader's arrangement of Silent Night will sound epic on it cause you can get pretty creative with song covers.
Where did you go to music school. How'd you get so smart. The knowledge is insane
That’s cool
Why can't you just string a Guitar up with a set of Octave down tuning Strings like Daddario EXL 156? The Bass VI is like a Baritone Guitar tuned an Octave below a Standard Guitar and what's unique about it is all strings are wound, and you can use a capo with it as well.
Naturally it's going to be a bit sloppy and look rough but the whole process was mostly extremely well thought out and the end results were a success. Most of us couldnt imagine trying half the things you set your mind to especially with the non-specialty tools you have to use. Instead of feeling that there is more to be desired feel accomplished for getting there with this mod even after all the small mistakes
Thanks, I appreciate the support, I'm blown away by how positive everyone has been
That was cool man! What kind of tuner are those?
It was a generic brand from china
@@SaidTooMuchProductions Ah that's cool! It gives me idea...
Yay another vid!
Can you do a video about tritone tuning? Like C F# C F# C F#? I think such a tuning has a lot of possibilities, like easy barre power chords and the potential for a large range similar to NST or all 5ths tuning, while also being easy to learn, because you only need to know the notes on 2 strings, because the other strings are just octaves! I think it would make for quite an interesting exploration.
Maybe, i could try alternating fifths and fourths in the same video too
I want to do it do badly on my cheap guitar
I think you should try to carve out the wood you sawed off, and then glue it back on, rather than printing up something from scratch. I can understand printing the prototypes, but you've GOT a properly matching chunk of wood. You might as well use it.
You should do that 3D printing thing with more guitars doing lile half or two thirds of a regular body and the rest 3D printed.
would be cool to see someone do a headless where instead of a nut and fasteners, a hardtail bridge is used, allowing the "nut" height to be individually set per-string
That's brilliant, an adjustable locking nut
I'd like an adjustable nut for drastic string guage change around as well lol
@@SaidTooMuchProductions the main issues i foresee are that you either have the ball end at the "wrong" end, requiring a tuning bridge that can deal with that, or you'd have to make some kind of locking mechanism yourself. or try to graft double ball ends.
You could've reshaped the 3d print so it has a cutaway for the classical position between the legs. Cool build though!
I dig it, it would’ve been cool to keep the contour on the 3D print to match the top of the guitar
I just bought my first headless 8 string and now I feel like I'm missing something. Lol
what the fuck my dude. like
Hey dude, how good are those headless tuners?
How is the tuning stability for that bridge? I'm planning on building a travel 7 string and those individual saddles seem like the way to go
cool project! looks janky, but you're onto something interesting.
the sounds you're getting don't sound like an improperly grounded bridge. They sound like a lack of shielding. That makes sense though as your wires aren't shielded by metal, or wood, or plastic for that matter. You'd need to modify that control cavity to have walls you could shield if you wanted to get rid of the hum
The hum goes away when he touches the strings. It's almost definitely a grounding issue.
... that's what I've figured
Bruh how old are you, this is crazy, I mean where do you even get the materials to work with here. And I mean the risk you take are crazy
Since you already have a 3d printer why not print out an entire body and just order a neck?
Impressive!! But for some reason I still think guitars just look cooler with the head. Personal preference I guess!! Wish I had the skills to do something like this though
Madlad.
FINALLY
you should convert a 10 string into a headless
Yeah man, that's a really cool video! I absolutely love DIY guitar mods and I have to admit that you have to be pretty brave to butcher your 9 string this way :D. But you really made some mistakes and the result could be better. I decapitated a guitar once and I think you should've prepared better for this. Drawing a scatch or photoshoping something over your 9 string in it's original form would've helped a lot. And you could avoid 3d printing (because tbh this part looks not very professional) by making a strandberg looking design with this deep cut on the bottom. I heard about your lack of tools, but you could borrow a jigsaw for a day, the result would be much nicer looking. I did my guitar this way and it came out pretty cool. But maybe i just nag too much, you did a good job, it works and that's the main thing, in my opinion you just hurried too much in some parts of work and that's why some parts look a little sloppy. If you had spent a little more time and patience, and calculated things more carefully, this could come out much better. Things like this need precision, but anyway it's a really cool experience. Thanks for sharing this vid and good luck with your next projects!
i would add some curviture to the printed part to match the curve of the body, it just looks a little off to me, idk
The balls on this guy. He could have messed this guitar up 1000 times - but he made it work in the end. I wouldn't even put a sticker on any of my instruments.
Might also be better to get an Agile headless 8 model
Bad. Ass.
Next video. How to make a headless ukulele. Hahaha
Maybe not a 9 string, but Agile sells multiscale headless guitars from 6-8 i think
I need to try this mod on a JEM.
How do you make sure that the intonation is correct?
The saddle can slide along the mounting part by loosening a hex screw
@@SaidTooMuchProductions cool, thanks-i was looking at doing somthing similar to a strat, but was unsure about intonation-thanks
Ya might wanna get Headless Guitar and Bass kits as well as make a new ground wire for the 9 String Guitar.
The bridge wasn't grounded because you put double sided tape over the copper strip.
