They built this awesome guitar body for me, and I turned it into my DREAM SUSTAINIAC! Usually sustainiac’s are heavy metal shredder guitars, but a sustainer pickup can be used for lighter styles of music as well, so I set out to build a sort of nashville tele/strat with a sustainer, and I couldn’t be more happy with the results! Here are the parts I used:

:gets body from Scar my Guitar:
:scars guitar:
I'll never get tired of the demo riff at the end.
Haha thanks stinkface!
"How do you fix something like this?"
If I've learned anything about building guitars on this channel, the answer is tung oil.
😂😂😂😂yes!!! Why didn’t I think of that???
Dang, you know its bad when Dan breaks out the "golly gee willikers!"
Lolin
Gosh darn freaking shizzle!!!’
@@GunsandGuitars Oh man! See you at the alter this weekend!
Right! It’s like the universally understood, @least throughout the lower 48 contiguous states, “I fucked up, but I’m tryna change my ways!” Haha
Life just got real 😎🤘
Love the message "wear your scars" god bless
Thanks Matt!
@@GunsandGuitars you're very welcome. I had a similar circumstance and revelation when I was making my own. Tool marks, some sanding marks, etc... mine isnt perfect by any means, but definitely the best sounding I own
@@GunsandGuitars I like how the "scar" message fits in with what you said about our life with Christ. Well said Dan! Not many people have the courage to say that publicly.
Plus the name of the kit company being Scar my guitar.
Scares give life more beautiful character.. I'm happy with that perspective
Dan coming through with the sermon! Keep spreading the Gospel man, I love it!
Thanks aaron!
Amen brother
The best guns and guitars episode ever. Great job, Dan.
I agree completely!!!!! So REAL... Great message and great practical info when mistakes happen.
Thanks guys!
The sign of a master is NOT that he never makes mistakes , but how excellently he deals with his mistakes .
You did good and you added a bit of funk to the beast !
This is my favorite build of yours, by far! Correcting the “overbite” from the router was as good as anyone could do, and I can’t agree with you more about sound vs looks. If looks were so important, people wouldn’t be paying thousands of dollars for Custom Shop relic’d guitars, and I wouldn’t be so ugly. 😂
Elon Mush yes.
However the battle scar philosophy is fine, too. Still a gorgeous build!
Thanks James! Appreciate the feedback and I agree entirely!
James TheDoctor Duncan FACTS! He did a great job patching that mistake. & gives it really does give it character & when it’s all said & done makes it your own & shows your hard work & resilience. & I like how he brought it around to the message & scar analogy, bc it’s so true & simple, yet we all benefit from being reminded! & what’s more rock n roll than building your own guitar EVH or Brian May STYLE w/ battle scars(on it & you) & then jammin on it. Especially when it SOUNDS GREAT! Also, I actually considered for a minute that it might not look that bad if he left the chunk out. Or if there’s a certain input jack shape out there like maybe a 90 degree type that has a side on face of guitar and other side on the width.. or wondered if a standard Strat type input jack would have mounted there and covered the flaw.. really not sure hadn’t actually looked this cray cray thought up to see I’m out of my mind. N know that wouldn’t have helped at that moment.
Normal people: Well, I'm stranded, better get some help.
GnG: *uses Duct tape to repair a truck and makes a guitar while stranded*
Cocaine's a hell of a drug.
😂😂😂
It is a "scar my guitar" body.............
The repaired part of the body gives it character. It's got it's own personality
I showed up for the project, but stayed for the heartfelt message. Thank you, Dan.
Especially dug how you left the burn marks. Give that axe some character.
That guitar looks like a 3 way hybrid between a jaguar, telecaster and SG.
I also appreciated your message at the end. Good job Dan and GOD bless.
HEY MAN.... Thanks for the shout out!!!!!!! I'm honored!!!!!!!
Thanks for the “wear your scars” monologue! I have plenty of scars and Christ has helped me to be a better man. I find myself almost always wishing that my scars could be completely removed, but the way you said that resonated with me and I am even more grateful for the healing Christ has given me! I am left with the reminder that I should never do that again! Peace!
The sustainer sounds great! On old single coils they used surgical tubing instead of springs, this might be the same stuff.
That sounds right! Thanks for the tip!
@@GunsandGuitars thought old feners used em as well
The springs are there to prevent you from over torquing the screws and damaging the pickup threads. Surgical tubing, while rigid, will crack and warp with enough force.
@@BrunodeSouzaLino yeah and it rots too
@@calinguga And the springs also serve to keep the screw under tension constantly so vibration from you playing doesn't loosen them over time.
By far the best build yet, cool guitar made and great lesson learned
Looks great and sounds even better. Greatings from Italy, nice message you gave at the end. God bless
You are my only subscription brother! LOVE this channel. Tons of info, great builds, budget friendly...and most importantly FAMILY friendly. Nice to have someone putting something positive out there. You are a fantastic role model. Keep up the great work and keep the faith!
What a beautiful guitar and even more beautiful message.
So I FINALLY watched this. Dan, I am just amazed at what you can do while travelling, and with minimal tools, to make killer guitars! It gives me hope that one day I could build guitars as awesome as this! In addition, and possibly more importantly, you brought the whole "scarred guitar" into a perfect parable of each of our lives. None of us are as perfect as we would like for others to believe we are...but each of us can still sing our own song. Yes there is pain, but that just gives the song feeling, and makes it more believable, and more relate-able. You rock man, and I am fully behind what you do, who you stand for, and what you stand for! Choose joy, and continue to follow your faith. Prayers going up for safety and blessings for you and your family. Thanks for keeping it real, dude!
Damn that's a great looking guitar! and as of now, my favorite guitar creation vid. Thanks man.
Loved this video one of your best guitars so far. Keep on going brother. Appreciated the message at the end, I really needed it. Can't wait for your next video.
i've seen almost all your videos and i think this is your best one yet! outstanding!
Wow thanks brian!
Wow, this video is just amazing on so many levels! Thanks, Dan
Thanks Andrew!
Scar-my-guitar kicks butt man. I love their show and their big hearts. Fantastic craftsman building all types in their garage. It's insane.
Great sounding guitar man! Love the message. Keep it up bro
Bro I respect you so much for proclaiming your faith on youtube. I love your videos, and will be making my own bass kit when it arrives. God bless you, and I'm looking forward to more of your videos in the future!
Amazing message. And the guitar turned out amazing!
Holy Moses, this guitar sounds fantastic.
Loving your videos pal. You are a natural on camera. Very talented.
I'll be following your instructions once I start my first DIY kit.
Thank you.
I told my grand daughter, yes a brother, I don’t invite trials. But, the humility and depth life brings is precious and I wouldn’t trade it for youth or an easier life.
Dan, thank you for your testimony!!! < God bless all you are doing to bring Him glory!
Love the shape of this one! Looks amazing
Love the channel! Great stuff!
With everything together, you can hardly notice the cuts in the wood! Amazing as always, I absolutely love the body and pickguard
Thanks alex!
Wow, this was a blessing and an unexpected surprise. I was looking for a video on installation for a sustainiac single coil pickup. God Bless you!
my favorite one you've ever done!!!!!!! stellar job
Been looking forward to this one Dan, and almost 30 min too! Heckin nice. I'll be watching it later tonight.
Haha yeah it’s a long one, grab some popcorn!
Came for the guitar build and stay for the heartfelt speech ♥️
And the guitar looks and sounds amazing
Dan I love these build videos so dang much, and seeing this pop up into my inbox really makes my day!
Thanks Gideon!
@@GunsandGuitars I also love how you show that you aren't flawless, as we humans are. Sometimes, when I build an instrument, and things don't go as expected, I can really work myself up over it. And then I remind myself that people aren't flawless. Thanks for reinforcing that idea :) means a lot to me
Love the video. Scars and all. Keep up the good work.
Man I just came for some tung oil memes, not an epiphany and tears...
This is the best video I've seen in years. Full stop. You rock Dan.
Scar's is what life is all about. The more scar means you arn't afraid to try. At 73 all my scars are memories I wouldn't trade for anything. Keep trying, scaring and healing, oh and God Bless!
Great advice! Thanks bill!
Love the message behind the build
Great lesson on guitars and life! Love your perspective, keep the faith!
Thanks! Amen!
Can’t tell how much I like this. The guitar..and the message. Both beautiful.
U MADE ME CRY A LITTLE...Goin thru some ruff stuff...gotta learn to live with the scars...Great channel dude. Thank you for that.🙂
Love the life lesson -- Thanks Dan!!
Thank you!
Good to see you back. Nice job on the patch job, 8-)
Thanks!
Hey Dan, nice save ;). Great build as always, and thanks for your clear and heart felt sharing of faith!! A thing of beauty.
Dan, I always look forward to your videos. Your conclusion about who we are, how we treat others is spot on. Nice job.
Absolutely nailed it brother! God bless
Love your channel. Keep up the good work.
Absolutely the best video you have made yet! Thanks Dan, oh and the guitar is nice too. God bless you buddy!
Thanks Donovan!
THIS IS SOO WHOLESOME !
exactly what I needed to hear, at the end.God bless you
Looks great Dan! Glad to see you back in the saddle. Hope the truck fix stays simple.
Yup, $7.99 on amazon! Lol
Good video, guitar and message... Glory Be!!!!
Bless you brother... Beautiful sounding guitar... More Beautiful sounding message at the end...
I like the Life Lessons with Dan section! Thanks for sharing.
Dude one of the illest builds I've seen in a while. It has sssoooo much personality.
Enjoying the channel Dan. Realized awhile back that you were a fellow believer. One of the reasons I subscribed. Keep the great content coming and God Bless!
Preach it Son!! Keep up the good work. God bless you!
Beautiful guitar Dan! Great Job! God bless☝🏼
Dan, this is your greatest video yet! Keep it up man. You have such an awesome platform. For the people out there that get offended about the convo you had toward the end, dont let it bother you. Keep it up man! Love it!
I really love and appreciate your real talk in this video. God bless you my brother.
Amen! Love this and you! Way to go cousin!
Loved that video!! Not just for the cool guitar work...which was suuuper cool, even with the oops but as a fellow saved lost boy! Great message!!!
Nice project, guitar sounds great. I like all the settings involving the humbucker. Hehe, thanks for showing me to think first, route second.
Dan, I’ve enjoyed your videos for a while now and just wanted to say how much I’ve learned but also how much I’ve been inspired by your passion and journey for growing your designs and techniques. May I also note that lately your story-telling with the editing in your videos is on a whole other level! Thank you and I’m looking forward to more! -Stav
You out done yerself bro!
Thanks Sean!
think you just saved me from destroying my first build. planning on using a router for the first time and rolling over the edges of the body and didn't even think of that pesky hole on the side. but even if I did follow in your footsteps - greatly appreciate how you recovered. always learning a lot. thank you.
Amen brother. Let's all become better people. Thank you for your work and deeds.
Really like how you recorded the background/intro music with the guitar you were building! Gives us a nice little preview of the end product ;)
The whole deal with the tool marks and other deals just shows it’s truly a one of a kind and adds value , I’d never guessed they charge more for them scars, look at the road worn guitars etc 😂
Love your message...scars are there, and they help make you who you are. This is one of my favorite videos yet!!!!
Be Blessed!!!!
Thanks Jamie!
Great build, excellent tone - and superb message brother! This one was several kinds of inspirational to me :-)
Awesome thanks for the encouragement mark!
Nice work and nice message.
I've been waiting for this video.
Such a cool build.
I hope you upload more guitar videos :D
I also watch you gun videos, I'm here for the guitars mostly :D
Thanks for watching the gun videos too! But yeah I’ll be doing more guitar content for a while I think.
@@GunsandGuitars That is great news Dan. 😻
Thanks for the post, Dan! Appreciate the words too. I probably would have done something weird with the patch and colored it black to match the pickguard or something :)
That actually probably would have been a better idea honestly.
Hey, regarding the Scars, didn't you ever notices that after resurrecting Jesus never removed his holes, there is a reason for that.
Wow good point and very thought provoking!
Yeah, the reason is that you can't remove a hole
@@adrian2433 yeah you can, just cut it off
Preach bruh
Dan, LOVE the testimony!
Great testimony! Rock on, brother!
Love this build and the unintended life lesson. 😁 👍
21:40 is the best part of this video.... thank you for your integrity and faith!
Best of your videos. Perfect balance of guitar knowledge and spirituality. God bless you.
wow... that is probably the most beautiful Guitar you build! And you also spoke some true Words... kinda straight to the heard
Great video, Dan. I especially loved the blitzkrieg bop-esque song
Haha I thought it was more Iron Maiden inspired but I see what you mean
Loving the lower cutaway and the headstock!
Great vid. Thanks for being real and unashamed about your relationship with the King.
Good work and looks great even with the scars, but sounds amazing! I appreciate you sharing all the gory details of the build and for sharing your thoughts about it’s who we really are that counts and not an image. Keep up the good work brother!
I'm a fellow Christian (not a good one but he's still a mentor) and I had a router accident just today. Luckily, its an easy fix but still sets me back and I hate that. GRRRRR!!
Love the message ! So true!!! Great guitar
Thanks!
Hey Dan. You did the video a couple of months ago but the message is so needed today. As humans we need to stop focusing on the outside and more of what’s on the inside of each other.
Probably your all-time best video, God bless!
To me I love the tool marks and the chunk replaced. They make the guitar special. Someone could get the same body, the same finish, same everything but those things make that guitar stand out from the rest (besides the fact that no one else has a guitar like this.) I love it.
Thanks Chris, needed a good reminder that appearances are only surface. Who you are deep inside is what really matters.
loved the voyage.... Thanks for being real...
