If youre good hands on, do it if you like it, but tbh buy them almost complete if you have any worries. At least at first. This will be my first full build, but ive bolted a few together like this build will be. It is fun and rewarding, but its not the easiest the first go around.

      I had a bit of a bad experience where they shipped me a strat neck when I ordered a tele. They were a bit standoffish and wanted to know how I knew that and I needed to send pictures. So I explained, sent the pics and they said “oh yeah; that’s a strat neck” and sent me a replacement. The replacement is functionally great-the best thing on the parts build it’s on- but the fingerboard is full of ugly dents and flaws. It just looks like trash. I was too tired to bother trying to send it back.

    @CanadianArchivist Před 3 lety +2

    I had my first Squier Strat years ago, ( I do mean years ago). which I bought used from Walter Ostanek’s music store in Niagara. I took lessons from his hired staff. Walter is Canada’s polka king. His son Ric ran the shop for years and had Long & McQuade come in, which removed the Ostanek name from the storefront
    I had the guitar for a while, just taking the odd tab books to learn how to play songs. I moved around a few places, and it disappeared. Taken / stolen. I also had a flute and played the Pogues and Supertramp. I was better at that instrument.
    So now.. married years later in Ottawa, with a family and with Covid going on, a lot of people including me, are getting back into hobbies, crafts and interests.
    I came across your channel which is showing me options and learning in more detail how guitars work and how each pickup can really determine the sound and output of an instrument. You are also introducing people to cheaper alternatives which are more budget friendly and alternative companies other than Fender and Gibson. You also explain why the higher end guitars are more reliable and why people buy them. ( Even though they’re overpriced and you end up paying for the name or brand). But they are what they are.
    If I were to pick up a budget guitar now, I’d be looking at a Harley Benton, Schecter, or Xaviere.
    Guitar Fetish sells Xaviere guitars. It’s their brand. Your videos have also shown pickup systems that can be swapped in and out which can make a guitar very versatile. I clicked on a few links for the parts. Lots of choices for the build and give an instrument a unique look and sound.
    Learning a lot from your channel. It’s so important to have people like you on line for those who want to learn, or those that are so detailed they want to build or rebuild instruments.

    That looks like it's going to be a great build. I have a Squier Vintage Modified Telecaster Custom II, with 2 P-90's. I'm looking to change the wiring, and maybe a pickup, and will look into the quick connect stuff.

    For anyone doing a similar project, if you have pickups of different outputs the combined output will have more of the tonal characteristics of the LOWER output pickup. (So usually the neck) I know most people use one or the other mostly.

    Love the color, hate the pick guard style. I’m looking forward to this series
