      Higher Ground by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Schism by Tool, and I Want You Back by the Jackson Five. Couldn't make out the fourth one, sadly. Last one sounded like Dean Town by Vulfpeck.

      Ok this has no relevance to your question, but I was wondering if you could try and make a snare drum, I'm a drummer (age 17) and I'm doing construction study's in my school. The final exam is to build something and I was thinking to do a snare drum, but don't really know how to do that, so heres my question again 😅. Could you try build a snare drum.
      Thanks

    As a former Luthier I totally understand the frustration when shopping for parts! I was literally not allowed to sell parts for less than a certain amount or I would be at risk of losing my distribution licensing with the companies I worked with. I could however build a custom instrument and include the parts at or slightly above cost, which is why the "buy a whole instrument for the parts" trick works so well (especially with cheaper import guitars)

    • @craftedworkshop
      @craftedworkshop  Před 3 lety +1

      It is kind of nuts, plus I get that the volume that Fender buys parts at will never compare to me buying one off parts from StewMac. The donor guitar will continue to make sense as long as that’s true!

    • @jjfloyd618

    Looks awesome & I love your explanation of the process. From a cosmetic standpoint I’d have liked to see you find a creative way to hide the wiring whilst utilizing the clear pick guard. Or do a rear rout so as not to compromise any of the cap face. Also would have been really cool to see body contours.

    • @jjfloyd618
      @jjfloyd618 Před 3 lety

      Actually, upon further reflection it occurs to me that you basically built a Squier Affinity with a fancy top. So I think I’d like to have seen you plane a half inch of the top of the Squier & glue the half inch skateboard cap on top. Then carve in a forearm contour & do a rear control rout.
