Not sure if I'm a minority on this. But my all time favorite 60CH videos are when Ryan tinkers with a guitar or paints it. The Super Sonic, the Mustang, the tinfoil guitar, this etc....
Literally could watch you tinker all day long lol
For real! Ryans devil-may-care style of mods has inspired me to start tinkering with things myself. I have a few project pieces that I've purchased for cheap that I'll hopefully be able to mess with over the summer.
Jokes aside the resin guitars are pretty cool and Burl's art makes some really cool stuff and is a great Guitarist doing original content.
Oh I totally agree, I just though the line “I made a guitar out of guitar parts” was a funny spoof of that stuff.
small fun fact: Michael Shuman from Mini Mansions (and Queens of the Stone Age) has a jazzmaster with a tele pickup in the bridge position as well, soooo I guess you guys are part of the same cool guitar club now
As soon as you started talking about the pickguard maker and the "allows it to be customised" I already had a suspicion who it would be, once you said "from the UK" it all but confirmed it, checked the link and there it was.
Absolutely agree that earlpilanz pickguards are one of THE hidden gems of guitar parts. Accurate, professional, their stuff fits and is always top quality. It's also, as far as I can ascertain, mostly made, by hand, in the UK.
I had used them before for off the shelf orders so contacted them about a year ago needing a custom pickguard for a 1970s Lawsuit copy Esquire, made most likely by Ibanez. The guitar was a husk with no pickguard to work from. After some back and forth, and using the original screw holes and the "tan lines" on the guitar, with their guidance I had a template made up in 3mm ply.
Barely a week after I'd posted this to them, a packet dropped through my door with the finished pickguard, plus the returned template (unexpected). It was simply fantastic, a perfect fit in 1mm aged white, with decent aging that looked like it really had been on the guitar since the beginning.
Could not sing high enough praises for what they do, that one part completely made the rebuild what it was.
This comment has made a new customer!
Yeah I've had a couple of pickguards off Earlpilanz and they've been excellent. Definitely a hidden gem as you say.
They made a blank JM pickguard for me too. Perfect. Very happy.
You never cease to amaze me. Great job on this new project. Guitar looks and sounds wonderful.
Great looking thing and sounds incredible. A fantastic pickup combination!
This is a fun video, really enjoy the videos you do workshopping / modding guitars. That stripe paint job is so audacious, love it.
I like odd pickup combinations. I have a Custom Custom seymour duncan in the bridge of my les paul and a Texas Special strat neck pickup in the neck. The bridge coils splits and the entire guitar circuit has a on tap clean boost of up to 15db. Very versatile and fun!
Staggered locking tuners should be everyone's go-to choice, especially if you like using the wiggle stick. Nice job, Ryan.
You are very creative. Well done on the paint job!! It came out beautiful. The cut on the headstock is so retro/modern looking... fantastic job!!
Love the middle position with those Seymour Duncan’s! Also love the headstock. Great build, good sir.
Love this, such a great combination of pickups and hardware. Makes me want to nail the setup on my MIJ Mustang so I can actually use the vibrato!
I love it when you mess around with different pickup configurations. Totally unique content keep it up!
i am truly amazed by the results... the design, the headstock. and mostly the sounds, it's amazing
Looks fantastic! Love the slanted pickup + stang bridge/vibrato
Such a solid build! So you! Nice sounding pickup combination as well. Nice with that reverb! 11s will be awesome on it! Surf it!!!
You’ve done it again brother! I’m in love with the Surfy tone you’re getting out of those pickups!!! That thing is a TWANG MACHINE!!!!!
Thanks for inspiring me! I can’t wait to buy one of these kits and give it a try. Love from the uk x
That looks amazing. I love your creation. Excellent work.
I dig the paint job. I like the subtle difference in the stripe colors. The fuzzy looking paint actually looks pretty good on camera. The headstock looks cool too. That guitar has a real 80's vibe to it. Nice job.
I like how the pickups sound together. Very clear like you say, also punchy. The process looks fun!
I LOVE your headstock design!!! I'm gonna do that maybe myself, as soon as I find a good left-handed diy kit.
Awesome and so much fun! that thumbscrew for the bar tension is a great idea! Headstock shape is nice, and yeah, this could be your signature model. sounds surfy and best reason to 'make' a guitar-to have it your way, uniquely for your style
I think it's great! And I agree 100% on wiring it as a humbucker too. It's great man
Holy crap!! What an absolutely lovely guitar! It sounds amazing, got job!
That thing looks and sounds incredible. Great job!
That guitar is AWESOME!! LOVE the rectangular headstock!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Wow, I'm really impressed with this guitar! Sounds absolutely amazing! And stays in tune surprisingly well after all the deep dives. Aesthetically, I love the body colors and stripes, but imagine how great that would look high gloss. Not sure if I like the cream and white so much. I might try different pickguard/pickup cover/knob colors. Maybe some chrome in there. I'd also do a maple neck, gloss fretboard. And yeah, that headstock... I'd aim for something functional like tuners that are in line with the nut slots for minimal drag. Anyway, fantastic job. Your idea was the main thing. Those pickups sound insanely great, and great together. I'd buy it!
What an awesome build! Anything I can think of seems too mundane by comparison to your ideas. I really love your take on the guitar world and it has inspired me in my guitar journey. Keep up the great work!
absolutely AWESOME job :)
tempted to look at a one of those kits myself for Gits and Shiggles :)
Love how it turned out! I was on the fence on buying one of those affinity jazzmasters, but now I'm actually thinking of buying this kit instead! Lots of modding options 🤘
I loved the crackling effect you got on the first paint finish. It's crazy how your "mistake" was my masterpiece. It's all so subjective. Great looking guitar.
Nice guitar and fun vide. It's got a Dr Seuss "Lorax" color vibe. You might even call it the "LorAx" model. The headstock matches the look. I like it. I'll have to check out the other competitors. 👍
dude! that mustang bridge is cool as hell. one of the most unique guitar ideas ive ever seen. wiring it like a humbucker was also a great move
I LOVE the paint job. Loved the gradient too.
GROOVY FINISH LOVE IT..
THE HEADSTOCK IS BANG ON 🤘
That pickup combination. Dude. That’s perfect. Awesome build, I’d love to copy it, or get one. But with the finish I think it would look cool as a sunburst to contrast that bright orange
I really like the headstock shape! You should make a custom decal!
Great idea, some variant on the show logo perhaps...
I had a MIM Jazzmaster with a tuneomatic bridge and the wiggle stick was basically unusable without it going out of tune. I dropped that same roller bridge in and it immediately worked perfectly with no tuning problems whatsoever and is still working great a year later. Best upgrade I ever made to that guitar
Rad build! I recently did a sologuitars tele kit. I left it stock, but I just picked up a Kent armstrong firebird neck pickup, and a hot tele pickup and am going to swap those out soon enough. It's fun and satisfying to complete one of these. It's also the guitar I pick up the most now for noodling (over my JM, or SG).
Kudos to your efforts. Very badass! Interesting pickup combo. I like the headstock cut. It's fresh looking. Patent it before someone else does. :)
That’s a really cool guitar. I love the color and the technique you used
Love the series switch idea! Especially with the jazzmaster rhythm circuit style switch. The pickup combo is a great idea too. Mm. Great job, man.
Ha!
My amps and pedals have certainly been hit with the ol “kids to 10” drive-by twisting
I wired a series/parallel switch into my jazzmaster exactly the same way he is describing and it sounds HUGE, totally worth it! And it doubles as a kill switch, really cool mod
That looks wicked awesome work hard work payed off
Seriously though, I wish I could get excited about building partscasters again! I totally burned myself out on it during lockdown. Bravo.
What a great combo of pickups!
Looks totally rad! ✌🏼
Everything in the video shows a thing these DIY kits seem to evoke: the proud feeling of having built something unique and special. And your guitar truly breathes that. As well as all the fun; like that 6y old bringing that Lego space shuttle to life. 😄🤘i don’t know why but i like that headstock! 😅
Sounds great and looks very cool !
Love the color and the head stock shape,hey it,s unique.
Yes, it is a good video. I enjoy seeing people be creative. Very cool guitar.
LOVE that paint job!!
Love the headstock sir .nice paint job , I alway's block the trem on my guitars :) lol . good job.
that pickup configuration looks really cool, nice work man
I absolutely love the tiger stripe paint job, that'll be something I look into with my next kit.
Sounds good, cool pairing of the pickups. I’ve never craved a Jaguar or Jazzmaster but this channel is converting me
N'nnn''''';nnnnn?nnnnnñbop8.
..
Great channel! I watch 'em all!
I just gotta say until I started watching you I did not appreciate surf music in anyway but your surfy riffs just bring me all the joy.
I love everything about this
I do a similar thing with my Mustang trem arms... I have a bunch of nylon beads that go beneath set screws to stop metal on metal contact. I think I got them through McMaster Carr if I remember correctly. I put the set screw back in with some blue Loctite, and it keeps the arm at the same tension indefinitely, since the screw can't back out, and the metal won't wear down. I got the idea from a tattoo machine that used a set screw and nylon bead to lock down the contact screw in the front binding post. I figured if it doesn't loosen under all that vibration, it would work like a charm on a guitar... and it does!
Rather than routing for a new control, I'd swap the pickup switch for a 4 pole 5-way blade (or a more expensive Freeway switch which could also allow you to keep using the bat-style). That would allow you to add series and even out of phase options. PS: I love the headstock. :)
Series/parellel switch is awesome. I would love to hear it too Ryan!!!!
You did great Ryan! I love it! I would defiantly add locking tuners. Your paint job is awesome! I would change the P90 to a black cover, maybe black knobs and a Tele headstock just to mess with people!
Excellent pickup combination with the orange guitar.
Pretty cool painting buddy !! :)
Currently working on same kit. Doing Tru Oil finish, but probably not going too crazy on hardware (yet). Definitely going to upgrade the tuners though
the paint job looks great!
Fantastic!! Well done sir!! I take 2 things from this, modding cheap guitars is fun!! & more than anything a guitar is more about the pickups than anything… that Brad paisley, eyes closed could have been in in a tele guitar, so worlds ypur oyster, go build, go buy, make your dream!!
I’ve been using the same guy for pickguards for years now. Always amazing
Nice job! I would ground all the body cavities and hardware with wire-connected copper foil tape to eliminate the hum and add/use true roller string trees.
I like a lot of what you did with this guitar build. I do have an aversion to tiger stripes on anything, but I dig the orange/pink colors. The headstock is also king of meh. Maybe better if color matched? But aside from that I think you did a really original thing with the tremolo and you really hit it out of the park with the pick ups you chose. A few years back I modded a Tele kit guitar and used a Tele bridge, but I put a Lipstick in the neck chasing the same kind of vibe you arrived at here.
Well Done!
I’d love to see you go further than this and also alter the body shape. Headstock looks pretty cool!
Loved your orange tiger-stripe. Very cool!
Back somewhere around 2011 or 2012 one of the Squier mixup guitars was neck and front pickup from a Jazzmaster and back pickup and body of a telecaster. I still have one. It does have a good sound. I put a Seymour Duncan combo in it also.
Kudos to @seymourduncan. Love the idea of tele + jazzmaster pickups.👌💯👌
You know what... I think I'm going to do this too. Great idea.
I will say the cracking finish was fire and you should have left it like that!! Would love to see it with a painted headstock, maybe black, or or matching the body. Great job . Very inspiring
I’ve always loved putting a load of expensive parts in cheap guitars cause most all cheap guitars these days have good body’s and necks you just gotta make it your own. This guitar with a set of Curtis Novak thunderbird pups and a full jazzmaster setup of mastery bridge and trem (a jag mute if it’ll fit) and the rhythm circuit would be absolutely mint
Use your rasp to make a bevel out of the 'not flat' headstock edge. Draw a line on the top and side of the headstock and remove material to get your nice, even bevel. It's like cutting off the corner. You stay square by stopping at your lines
Awesome! Signature model!
That actually turned out good. I like the pick ups.
Mustang Vibrolas are so underrated. The J/T combo is one I've wanted to do for a while.
Those pickups sound funtastic. Was thinking you were doing multiple layers of painting so you could go after it with sandpaper like a road-worn look. But with multiple levels of colorful paintings underneath. That could be cool too!
From Leo: Looks like a fun guitar. I like the subdued paint. The stripes are there but not in your face like a Rail Road crossing arm. Interesting vibroto system on a Jazzmaster style guitar.. Nice job. Since you asked, I think I would shape the end of the headstock to mimic the lower horn of the body. Agree with lube in the nut slots like you mention, but people often forget to lube the string trees.
Great pickup combo, I get the hockey stick headstock but I would take a tad more off it!
You should have won the Harley Benton build-off with that! Superb result and sounds wonderful, the ideal surf guitar?
Ryan never fails to inspire me. Ironically have always wanted to throw a tele bridge pickup in a mustang
This was cool. I think I'm, in on a DIY project now.
Nice!! That was a smart move taking the rubbing from the Mustang to get your routing template.🧐🧐
I really do like those pickups paired together. The finish isn't mu cup of tea, but I don't hate it.
great pickup combo, great sound. only things I would have done different on mine would be a mermaid themed paint job and a b bender instead of the wiggle stick.
Oh man, mustang vibrato, tele in the bridge, jmaster in the neck, block inlays and headstock all with a custom stripey paintjob!? Bravo sir👏
Just found your channel, I actually got a pickguard from this seller and they didn’t have any for my guitar so they paid for me to send them mine to make a template, great service and got a sick guard for my offset
That’s awesome
get a Freeway Switch! I put one on a Jazzmaster styled guitar that had strat pickups and now I can do normal strat switching as well as neck/bridge combo like a tele. I love it!
Noice dude Go tiger 🐯 guitar awesome as hell great project
When you add the switch, consider a mint green or brown tort guard. I think the top corner of the headstock would look better if slightly rounded but I like what you did. One thing I've noticed is that your eyes want to choose color choices that are on the same side of the color wheel while mine always like to choose one from one side and the second from the other to avoid clashes but your visual half step mixes aren't too bad.
I might have to steal that thumb screw idea off of ya! I'm gonna have 3 guitars (when they're all done) with this vibrato and ease of adjustment is appreciated. I did just order an allen key set that comes in a little tin with picks to keep at my desk for when it comes loose while noodlin', so we'll see how that lasts till I get tired of it 😅
once you use a thumb screw you wont go back. Its so convenient.
@@60CycleHumcast and it's stainless so you can polish it to make it pretty! 🤩
wow, that pickup combination really, and I mean, reeally worked well together! and who would have guessed, a tele bridge pup still sounds like a tele pup when installed on a different model...
Very cool, a "lightning bolt" wrap around bridge might have worked simply as long as the intonation is close. I have an old epiphone olympic (coronet) with a tremelo and have no problems with string breaks like those sharp tune-omatics and string spacing is accommodating.
Dude! The “one of my kids set everything on 11”-setting sounds INSANE! Made me want to get that pedal haha. I wish you had played that sound for more than two chords hahaha 🤣
