After nearly two months and countless hours of work I'M DONE with my DIY guitar.
There was some trouble with the bridge and my fingers still hurt from all the carving but it was soooo worth it. It pretty much ended up being a custom shop guitar.

** Why the "Includes paid promotion" message? **
According to german laws everyone has to mark their videos as advertisements as soon as there's a single "subject relevant" product, tag or link in it. Even if you didn't get paid for making that video. Sounds confusing and it really doesn't help the viewer to see which is a paid review and which isn't.
--- The line of truth: Is this actually a paid review? Mojotone and Gotoh supplied the parts for this build, so technically it's a paid promotion. (I update this line for every video).

Cheers,
Kris - Hudba
In addition to your amazing playing, general guitar knowledge and video editing skills, I think your channel is one of the best if not, the best DIY/Mods channel for guitar out there! Cheers man, very well done!
Agreed
👍👍🤘
I agree!
Next time, put some wax on the gold inside the carvings. So much more easy to removing!
Thanks so much! I still have so much to learn about modding / making guitars thoug. All those cool little tricks… I love them and I’m ready to learn more every day. 🤩 Thanks for joining me on this journey and watching the videos!
The blue is nice but I actually preferred the gold. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is awesome! Well done Kris! 😊👍
Thanks buddy! I know what you mean. I really love the fact that you only see the gold at the aged parts though. It’s almost like hidden treasure. 😅
@@KrisBarocsi I used to have a 64 Fender Duo Sonic that had been refinished as a gold top. Had to sell it to move to start a job after college. 30 years later still miss that guitar!
Bling Bling Boy!
Name it? Easy! ......... ready???? .......... Blue-J!!!!!!!!!!
thanks for the vids as always great!. never miss one, Now I wanna do another build myself darn it.
🙌 Thanks a lot David, I really appreciate that! Enjoy your next build. 🤩
Oh Kris, how did you not lose your mind with all that scraping? Wow!
Who said I didn’t? 😂 thanks Murray!
Really great work Kris! I love the colour choices and your attention to detail. Personally I loved it before you did the relic on the body but that’s completely personal preference. It’s great to have an instrument you’ve put so much time and care into, well done!👍
What a stunning result! Great job, Kris!
Turned out great Kris, well done! And thanks for taking us along for the journey :)
congrats kris on achieving your dream axe. this is by far one of the most inspiring videos I've watched in a long time.
that axe is a keeper too....
Very nice headstock shape.
That looks incredible, what a nice work done! I would call the guitar "The Blue Lily" because it reminds me that awesome flower a lot: it is blue with golden/red stamina and, of course, green stem and lower leafs.
I was looking forward to this conclusion upload. But man oh man, it looked gorgeous in gold (great color for a future project). Thanks a bunch.
Loving it 100% - great craftsmenship Kris!
Absolutely incredible. Such a beauty. I can hear the pride in your voice. I would name "Caster Chandelier". I don't know why. Just seems right.
That looks really well put together, Kris. The bound neck and the matching headstock, and the color with the black guard and P90s-nice colorway!
Name: Taco-caster
Haha, awesome name! 😆 The guitar should be yellow and red for that though. Thanks a lot for the kind words!
amazing work, bro !! Guitar looks + sounds absolutely stellar !!
also very interesting insights for all who are interested in guitar ageing + building processes.
Thanks for that and enjoy your new DIY instrument 👍
Thanks a lot Matze! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
Awesome build Kris! I prefer to make my own guitars these days as I can choose all the parts myself and build to my own preferences. I can distress using same techniques and age to whatever my preference is. I love the multi color distress technique too. Great job!!
Uff... what an amazing build! Your passion for guitars drips through the screen.
"Bootcaster"
That design looks like something etched on a cowboy's boot
Yeah, what about the Bootster?
Cool name idea! That’s pretty much the vibe I was going for. 🙏
Absolutely wicked!!! I mean, I expect no less given your talents, but man, you’ve outdone yourself. Be proud, this is exceptional.
Good job Kris! What a great guitar now! It’s sound really great!
I truly enjoyed that.
Thank you for sharing.
For pickgaurds, if I have one already in the shape I want, I use that as a template and use a router flush cut bit. I use the smallest one. They are pretty tiny. Then hit the outside edge with a chamfer
looks great and sounds awesome, looks like such a fun project :)
Well done Kris!
Thanks so much Marcus! 🙏 I really enjoy this guitar to be honest.
Great vid and effort was well worth it Kris!
Sound great! Looks awesome!!!
really nice job on that kris,... i'd name it Betty lol... the blue reminds me of Betty Rubble's dress from the Flintstones.
That's a cool guitar! I love this kind of videos. Mississippi, wild west, poker etc, I'd call the guitar Maverick, from the movie.
A thin wooden veneer pickguard would be pretty cool, I saw a guy make one out of mahogany then he put several coats of clear coat. With that Pelham blue that would look awesome, just a thought....nice job my friend!
Nice build and beautifully edited video. Great playing. Had to like and subscribe!
This whole progress is amazing. And the tone is 100% from the hand(work)
A great player and a great craftsman! Great job! Very impressive!
Looks and sounds great!!
I wonder how it would look with an anodized gold pickguard.. it would definitely bring that gold vibe back! Would probably need some white plastic covers and knobs...
Keep up with the great content 👍
Really enjoyed this as love building partscasters myself. Inspired by watching this carried on spraying my new Warmoth body with new enthusiasm only to get too close and overspray and it started to run in front of my eyes, was the penultimate finish coat too 🤬 I hate spray painting! I love mojotone pickups have them in my Robert Cray strat.
Dude. That’s really impressive. I always knew you were a great luthier, but the work you did on this guitar is in a whole other level!! Congrats, my friend!!!
Aww dude, you’re the best! 🙌 Thanks so much, so glad to hear that you dig this build too. 🤗
That guitar looks and sounds amazing!!
Great work man! For future reference, they make this type of glue that prop
makers use for weathering props, that peels off. Great way to cover the carving work, and peel it off once the top coat is done. 👍
Man, that's a killer guitar, very cool!
Love it ,,,great tones
Hi Kris, very impressed with all the time you put on this project and the end result.
Job well done Mann!!, Looks and sounds like a custom shop I would like to own.
Cheers!!
Thanks man! Yeah I still can’t believe how well it turned out. I play it as much as my custom shop which is crazy. 😅
Wowzer Kris! Great looking guitar! two p90s, it has to be called the Barocsi Special!
Thanks buddy!!! It’s a special one indeed. 🤩
Wow. 😳 Freakin love it.
Ausgezeichnet. Herzlichen Glückwunsch, Kris!
Looks great, sounds even better! I preferred it in gold. I wish I could hang out with you Kris you seem like a cool guy.
This video is a brilliant all in one package of music, build instruction and demonstration! I would call this a "Kristring" guitar! There are too much "...caster" named...
Thanks so much man! I have a name for the guitar. A viewer suggested it: Bellflower. A blue flower with yellow middle. 💪
Great work! Funnily I also did the JA kit in Pelham Blue. Some tips for the weather checking. Use a hair dryer or heat gun to warm up the guitar first and then shoot it with the cold spray. Nitro checks because of harsh temperature changes. So heating it up and then cooling it drastically brings the best results. Second tip: cold spray is quite expensive. You can use canned air and shoot it with the can upside down. Same effect.
And a minor correction: there are no ground loops in guitars with passive electronics as there is just one ground (the output jack). But the idea of using copper tape as ground wire is a great one!
Here is a good tip, use star washers when mounting the pots and the input jack. They make your ground connection really solid and also keep your pots from loosening and twisting over time. They are cheap, you can get them anywhere and work great.
Pretty sharp looking and sounding build!
Wow Kris, that’s really impressive.
Your guitar is beautiful and sounds damn good too, if I ever made a custom guitar it would definitely look a lot like yours (I love offset shape, Pelham Blue and P90s too).
Great work!
Thanks Roberto! 🙌 Pelham blue is my all-time favorite gibson color and I‘m so glad I chose it for this guitar. Have fun with your build once you decide on making it!
Amazing job Kris! I’ve done an amp kit build and now you have me contemplating a relic guitar build 🤩
Haha, there’s no way back now!
Amazing how much effort and patience you put into details... carvings, relicing, finish, just amazing.
And as always great and enjoable playing.
After all so much fun to watch 💪
And for the name, maybe golden flush?
Thanks so much Horschy!! 🙌☺️
It looks, and sounds great! I've just got a Fender Jaguar ultra lux, I love the offset body shape.
Wow this is an incredible piece of artwork
🙏🙏🙏
it was hard to watch the relic job ..but it looks great.. one of the best looking jazzmastet/mustang style guitars i have seen
That wiring is incredibly satisfying.
You did an awesome job here !
Thanks a lot! 🙌
Let's be honest, if this man doesn't deserve to have a million subscribers, then who deserves it? I've never seen anyone so dedicated to his videos and his work at the same time. On every fuckin' detail man. Thanks Kris.
Dude, I don’t even know what to say. 🥲 I‘ll never have a million subs because I don’t do funny stuff, I‘m too boring for teenagers and I‘m too nerdy for many. 😆 That’s totally fine though, I just wanna do my stuff, whatever feels right. And we already have the best freakin community on yt. That’s what I care about. 💛
@@KrisBarocsi You're doin' it right, just don't stop. Keep doin' it.
great job!!
Going through the process gives insight what is involved in building a guitar and why some choices are made.
Imagine building a guitar from scratch, with only pieces of raw wood! That would easily double your build time.
Diy build Is also good for realising and appreciating the skills involved with ready made guitars like Harley Benton or Vintage at an affordable price.
Have you calculated what your hour salary would have been for this project?
Looking back, would you say the hidden cost factor is paint?
Kudos for the attention for quality and documenting it on camera, Kris!
I remember Andy staining his Les Paul, a rollercoaster of hope and despair!
Thanks so much man!! 🙌 I’m really happy with the results.
I don’t even want to count the hours to figure out my selery because it would be crary high, haha! 2 month of work, pretty much every day including some weekends… The guitar would easily cost as much as custom shops to be able to pay my bills… The saying „time is money“ is just so true unfortunately. 🤷♂️
hey mr kris, thx for the best diy video on you tube.
Thanks for the kindness Karim!
Really enjoyed this 2 part build. Attention to detail and sand sand sand, but we both know. The result is only as good as the preparation and your prep is top notch KB. Great relic techniques, thanks, just added a few to my book of favorites. Never really was keen on this body shape. But, your build has given me a new appreciation and I think it looks absolutely wicked! Love the cts pots, and the oil filled cap, switch craft jack. Can't go wrong with what works so well. Sounds excellent, and looks like it is easy play.
The name of this build should be Krelic Master as it is a heavy relic Jazz Master design made by Kris Barocsi.
Don't be humble, Krelic Master is definitely worth being on a Barocsi custom. After thoughts, Krelicaster or Relicaster have a nice ring to them. You are donating it for the cause. Sounds cool KB, cheers!
Hey Dave, I really appreciate your words! ☺️ My feelings for offset guitars are strange. 😅 I was never into the traditional ones but I really like the takes some brands have on them. Like my PJD St John. What a guitar! And this one too actually. Smaller body (I like that), tune-o-matic bridge and the toggle switch. 👌 That’s right up my alley. Cheers mate!
@@KrisBarocsi I looked up their take on producing this style. Yes, I agree they are done well, also watching your review from May 2021. Love that flamed top, Hum and p90 combo. Wicked!!!
That is a thing of beauty
Absolutely loved the videos and the amount of time effort you took to finish and detail the guitar. I have nitro finished guitars with nos style aging and know its blood sweat and tears and a labor of love so well done for that. Untill I got to 22:07 in this video I was happy and then saw the scrapers, blades,hammer and plier come out made me really sad. Guess I am in the Paul Reed Smith camp on relic guitars. Everything else aside job well done and thank you for sharing.
That’s a very interesting subject, let’s talk about aging guitars in my next Comment Time video. Thanks for the comment!! 🙌
Fiiire! Absolutely amazing (:
Thanks so so much man!
Wonderful wonderful work!
Thanks a ton buddy!! 🤗🤗🤗
SICK AF !!!!
👊😏 Thanks man!
With the holes and the plant carving you should name it the Chia caster. Plus as the blue ages as the clear coat yellows the guitar will look more green!
It's been a while I was waiting for that very video. It's a good example of the adding value of your channel :)
I learn a lot for the painting and aging process. Next step for me will be to redo my guitar nuts by muself. I would be happy to read the tools (especially the files) you recommend to do this (I've three of them to do, or at least reshape). Thank you Mr Barocsi Custom!
Hey, thanks a lot!! Let’s talk about those nut files in my next Comment Time video. 👍
@@KrisBarocsi So another video I'll waiting for :D
Another related question (I have my answer, but would appreciate yours): bone VS Tusq ?
Thank you!
@@FendCore Both work fine. Tusq for modern guitars, bone for traditional ones. 👍
Wow that guitar sounds real good or is it your playing skills ? Must be a combination i guess. Realy like it and i would name this guitar "The Gambler". Keep up the good work
Thanks a lot! That’s a really cool name idea! 👌
@@KrisBarocsi I'm going to second their name suggestion. "The Gambler" is perfect.
Im impressed u were able to scratch the blue away without taking off the gold as well. Looks awesome!
I'm thinking a little wax in the carves before finish coat would be less time consuming
The patience for scratching the indentations omg I don't think I can. My neck would just say no after a while
Good on you bro
Awesome
That looks awesome.
Thanks a lot!!
Just WOW! Nothing more to say...
🙏 Thanks a bunch!
I'm definitely making one myself but I don't think I'm gonna go as far as you did. maybe one day but my first build will be simpler.
Ground loops aren’t really a thing in passive circuits as far as I know. Amazing build btw, you really have a good hand at painting imo.
Bravo ! 😎👏👏👏 Great work ! hmmm .... looks like a Barocaster to me 🤔
omg the BELT thing!!!! :D : D: D:D
Very enjoyable build. Cx
Thank you so much Chris! 🙏
Very nice...! The Alchymist....
Wow, your Gallant Blue Punk Caster turned out way to offset for the challenge, if you know what I mean. What a stunner! My obvious three would be Jivemaster, Jeezmaster, the Jazzcaster, all in hazy Barosci blue gold. Also a name like the Roundhousecaster came to my mind, but the Roundhouse is an actual building. Well, have fun with that name game as well. 👍🎸🔥
ALways double check your wording they said. Right they were. Jeezmaster sounds a bit better than its predecessor.
This nice guitar deserves an name like "parts-master", because it has the shape of an jazz-master and has some "partscaster" parts.

The Swamp-side Casino by Barocsi Customs:
A vintage styled take on the modern telecaster.
Buy today!
Haha 👌
Wow really cool project and what a great result!
And for a name what about: Royal Bazzmaster
call it bell and run stereo jmp with bassman for head room - that and or u sound killer goods. good jobby
Nice guitar - worth the effort, and great video and soundtrack. Congratulations! I built a guitar from slabs of wood at Crimson Guitars, under their excellent guidance, and using their tools. All serious guitarists should build a guitar to dive deeper into the amazing beauty of wood and hardware - a great journey.
A very nice guitar indeed 😊 … great video 👍 as always … the guitar should be called “Blue Sapphire”, as your guitar is a true gem 😉
I think pelham blue looked great as the headstock and sides...just wanted to see more gold..but still a beautiful guitar
Looks amazing and the pickups sound incredible!! (through the Revv?)
Excellent job! Cheers from the US
Hey Pedro, thanks a ton! Yeah the pickups are amazing! The signal chain was super simple, I played it clean through the Revv Dynamis and for the crunch I used the Tilt overdrive in front of the amp.
Die is aber wirklich schön geworden!
Danke schön! ☺️
Great Video and unbelievable build!! Really cool design, and the sound is incredible! Question - do you happen to know if the body is compatible with a different neck by say, Warmoth if we wanted to change out the neck? Thank you in advance!
Mate, watching your demo of this on the Thomann channel I had no idea how much time and love you've put into it. Lovely colour-over-colour relic job too! Name? Dunno Derrick the Relic? :D
Haha, lovin‘ the name! 😆 Yeah it’s all hand-made and pretty old-school too. No fancy machines and all. It took me hundreds of hours for sure but it was worth it. 😅
Whenever I paint bodies with nitro I always go through the clear coat into the colour even with 2000 grit but the time I’ve got the orange peel out. I’m thinking of doing with steel wool next time but will take hours for sure
Two tips: 1. sand between all the layers and keep the surface always orange peel free, that helps at the end. 2. Try more layers of clear coat at the end. You’ll send off most of it anyways when you’re buffing so you won’t end up with a thick finish (if that’s what stops you from putting more layers on there). Have fun experimenting with it man!
sawing and filing the pickguard looks so easy. I´ve done this a few times and find it so hard to get the pickup routings just right. The outline isn´t so hard, but the very straight lines.... puh....
pretty nice job! great colors and craftsmanship. but man that hurts... 22:54 ff
Kann hier ja sogar auf deutsch schreiben😂 extrem geil, könnte den ganzen Tag solche Videos gucken
1000 Dank Finn! 🙏
Can't beat the matching headstock - I wanna do the same to my burgundy mist Jag. I guess this thing isn't really a -caster, maybe it's some sort of -master. swamp-master, voodoo-master.
Really my heart broke while you hit her
I know man, I know. I felt that too. 😅 I had to do it though, such a design with the fancy carvings would‘ve been way too bling-bling for me without the aging. 🤷♂️😆
killer build! what do you use to antique your hardware? looks so nice!
Would the "Antik Patina Wax" work on a nitro finish as well? How does it hold up in general when getting touched? Really nice build, by the way!
Sounds mega looks killer. Name her Caspara = treasure keeper lady
wouldn't it have been easier to stick blue tac into the cavities before you sprayed the blue on? looks great though
I use copper tape on the back of my pickard's exactly the same way for the same reason
🙌 Nice!
