The Middle Earth Guitar - Chapter 1: A Long Expected Party | The Great Guitar Build Off 2022
Hey, I know this is a super tall ask, but if you could possibly use this program to walk through a wiring diagram on why it works/how you think about it, I'd sooo appreciate it (because I can't find anyyyyone talking about wiring like it anywhere n I'm a newbie). It uses 2 humbuckers, 2 push/pull pots, and a 5 way superswitch (was looking for a setup that used all of these and this was the SINGLE diagram I could find anywhere that utilized all of them!); it's series/parallel for the push/pulls, and pos2/4 of the 5 way is inner/outer coils (at least, I think that's what it's called? Like, if the pole order is screw/slug - slug/screw, it's just screw coils and just slug coils- not sure if that's exactly what the "inner/outer" configuration means haha). I've read n watched quite a bit of "beginner guitar wiring" tutorials now, but I'm still pretty confused with it, particularly because it uses a magnet flip and the wiring is seemingly flipped on one side. I know this has to do with the hum-cancelling, but I still dont fully "get" it (id go more in detail on why, but obviously this is getting way too long lol). Again, I know this is a tall ask so feel free to totally ignore this lol, but if you do decide that you'd want to do it I can send you the diagram (however), or you can try finding it on google images, via searching "2 humbuckers with 5 way switch pinterest". Sorry for typing an essay!
Nice build looks awesome with that color... you should have fixed the neck before you glued it ;)
Turns out mine is gay.
Whats the bearing insert called?
Who was the artist playing that background song?? Very nice but Shazam doesn’t recognize it
cool what was the print time on the bamboo? and are you selling the stl file?
Very nice skills.....
Thank you! Cheers!
Oh thats a handy dandy little organizer. My friend got me something similar back when I was building race drones. that was made of silicon so it it burn resistant but grippy to keep things from sliding around or screws rolling off the work bench.
That sounds cool. Hopefully this will make things a bit easier to organise.
@@adairguitars I need it.. my work bench has become a magnet for projects "In the works" and needs a serious cleaning and reorganizing.
Nice
Cheers!
Amazing!!! A place for everything and everything in its place!!!
I put a lot of thought into what should be included! Didn’t want it to be too big.
Man, this is PRECISELY what I was looking for !!! Thank you so much.
I was the same when I first discovered it! 👍
You can save (lots of) money by buying the better tool before the cheap tool that you will need to replace faster and might give your less dependable results. Justmy 2 cents ;)
I’ve definitely done that as well. 👍
I have a question.. do you drill your bridge holes exactly at the scale line of slightly before or after?
I always measure the exact scale length for where I want the high e string saddle to be, and then work out the bridge holes according depending on the type of bridge I’m using.
How do you adjust the truss rod on this guitar? Do you need to remove the neck to adjust it?
Yes, this one is a heel adjusted truss rod which is a thinner profile.
This is super useful! Thanks so much for sharing and the mini tutorial.
Glad you found it helpful!
are you doing any videos with youre son soon he picks up nicely :)
One day again maybe. 👍
Nice jig.. do you put some tension on the trussrod before radiusing the fretboard ?
Thanks. No tension on truss rod while radiusing.
What's the track playing when you start the winding process?
It’s a song from an original band I played in about 25 years ago called My Horizon.
Nice idea and sweet catch tray
It works well!
NIce!!
Simple and easy!
Very good idea. One block and easy to store when it's not needed. It's a;so a neat idea of clamping it in the tray while cutting the tube sections to catch the pieces after they are cut. Instead of having to chase them down and having them bounce on to the floor.
Cheers! Yes, the tray idea makes it even easier!
niiiice my life changed when i learned this trick too, so much easier
Easiest solutions are often the best!
Very nice.
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice work gentlemen! This young man is lucky to have a dad that is willing to spend time teaching him valuable skills.
Cheers! It was a fun project to work on together.
If you were doing this to a squire or other entry level instrument, go for it. I’m all in for that. A Kiesel is a different story. If you were just going to change the finish I guess I’d still be on board. This was totally unneeded for such a high quality instrument. And to top it off you put your own logo on and try to pass it off as your own work? I’m no purist but this is beyond the pale.
It’s still a high quality guitar, it’s now a different colour and has a different pickup. The logo says that it is a mod and I think it’s pretty clear in the video that I’m not saying it’s my own build.
Hey PP364! I’m the owner of the guitar, and all the work Arran put into this was at my request and specification (including the decal design which I provided). There’s no “passing it off”, and as mentioned in other replies this guitar was modded to a specific brief with a specific goal in mind. The neck already played beautifully - so the mods were to bring it into line with a tonal goal. (And that colour just had to go 😅). I’ve barely played my other guitars since this was completed. 🤘🏻
I'm currently 6 minutes into the video, and I have to say I think the guitar will look better with a natural finish (compared to its original paint), or with stain.
Hi Bart. It was a nice body and we did actually contemplate keeping it natural or stained. It was always going to be a one pickup guitar which would have meant filling the pickup cavities wouldn’t have worked with keeping the grain visible.
@@adairguitars Absolutely! That comment was about the original paint. Can't help but wonder hwy Kiesel painted it. Cheaper? Less work?
Ah, that makes sense. Maybe they just have a nice supply of wood. 🤷
@@bhartissimoWe discussed something transparent, but the plugs would have stuck out like a sore thumb 😅 The original paint was the original owners specification as it was built to order.
@@rnrmfguitarworks I left that comment 6 minutes into the video. I guess the original owners may have specified the colour without having had the chance of seeing how it might have looked with a clear finish? Anyway, after watching till the end of the video, I think the guitar turned out looking very good!
Fascinating Arran. And, as an owner of an Adair Guitar, I know its worth - way more than the sum of its parts. In fact, it's priceless. With this mod, Arran has added something which is impossible to define as only the player, the owner, can truly appreciate the quality.
Thanks Jonathan. It’s a very meaningful process, tailoring a guitar to its owner.
Is the nut slot flat or has the radius of the fretboard?
Flat nut slot for this one!
What saw did you use? perfect job!
The slots are cut with a fret cutting blade on a table saw. 👍
@@adairguitars I was referring to the saw with the "depth-stop" you used to cut the nut slot
@@Argentuza Ah, it’s a fret slotting saw designed for guitar building which I can use on the nut slot as well. I was getting the video confused!
Podría tener todas las herramientas y sinceramente no haría nada porque no tengo la habilidad ni el conocimiento, tu habilidad no esta en discusión, pero si se sobre el uso del instrumento y creo que a pesar de tu increíble trabajo en modificar la guitarra puedo decirte que ahora la guitarra es menos versátil . La mejor configuración sería HSS pero ahora en mi caso como guitarrista no le veo mejora. Tal vez si hubieses puesto HSH o HSS pero bueno igualmente un trabajo impecable.
Thanks, every guitar has a different level of versatility and I can guarantee that there is still a wide range of sounds from this one pickup.
The brief for this guitar was not ultimate versatility. It’s for a specific sound. Having said that - single P90 guitars are still hugely versatile in the range of tone that can be achieved simple with a volume and tone control. 🤘🏻
I love a single pickup guitar , i like the countoured heel .
👍 it still has a range of pickup options too.
@@Hambonebodi It’s a joy to play, and absolutely! Single pup guitars have that X factor! 🤘🏻
"better" is subjective. It pains me to see you take something someone has spent time and effort on and destroy it when you've made some excellent guitars from scratch. ☹️
Yes, better is subjective which is why the mods were done for the owner. Nothing has been destroyed, just a new colour and new pickup.
As the owner and player, it’s definitely better 😉🤘🏻
So, basically, you turned an expensive Kiesel guiter into chep no name. Maybe selling it and buying another one would be a better decision?...
No, the value of a guitar has nothing to do with the name or ‘cheap no name’ as you mentioned. And as a bonus, it no longer looks like Grimace.
Oh Alex, my poor misguided soul. What he’s done is take a guitar which (even with its glorious neck) i didn’t gel with and turned it into something that sounds and plays something special. The name only matters if i were to sell it, which I’m not. The plan was to turn this into an absolute keeper, and in this he’s absolutely succeeded. (Side note - you’d cry if you knew how little this has cost me all up. If I wanted to sell, I could still get what I paid for it, mods and all. But that ain’t happening)
Agreed.
In the end, Barney the Dinosaur was recycled into a guitar. Excellent mod.
😂 Yep!
I've worked for a guitar finisher for a few years. And I was wondering what your decision was in not using a chemical stripper for the body. Great work, as always! Love the content!
Only because I don’t know much about chemical strippers and preferred to go with what I know. Sanding actually didn’t take as long as I thought. Also I was able to keep the sealer coat by sanding down to it. Cheers!
Excellent refin and mod! I love the end product.
Thanks Chris! It turned out great. 👍
looks awesome bud, more spray finishes coming in the future?
I’ve got a vintage strat replica style build that I’ve been working on slowly over the past few years. Planning to do a nitro spray on that one too. Cheers Mick!
And in case anyone is wondering… the plan has changed again for the switching (for the moment 😅) Currently it has a 4 way switch: 1 Direct out 2 Volume only 3 Volume and tone 4 Killswitch It’ll likely get changed to Esquire wiring plus the killswitch though. The direct is a little too in your face without the volume pot in the circuit, and the fixed tone will be the quasi-humbucker setting, rather than the full cocked wah effect. Fun times!
Mate, this turned out better than I ever imagined! Thanks to Kiesel for the amazing guitar to start with, Nathan at Pennyroyal Pickups for that killer P90, and to Spero for not disowning me when I told him what was going to happen to his old guitar 😂 And thank you for the phenomenal work!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
My pleasure! A perfect guitar for rock ‘n’ roll!
Thank you! Been wanting someone to show a video on how to make one!
No problem!
Glad I clicked on this video, thanks
It’s an excellent resource, I’m glad I found it!
Nice build. Great to see a Dad and his son build a guitar together. Rock on!
Thanks!
Hi is this a Les paul body?
It’s a combination shape of a Les Paul and a Brian May Red Special.
The Gold top was an Excellent decision.
I agree!
That’s a really good idea are you willing to make some and sell them ? I’d buy one
Thanks, but no plans to make to sell. Maybe one day if I get a cnc machine so I can cut everything easily and accurately.
I like your headstock design. Cool!
Thank you! Cheers!
