Hi Steve, nice job with the mods. Looks great. I just wanted to mention that the slot on your string winder is actually there to remove the pins. Much safer to avoid scratching your guitar.

I removed my bags, but want to reserve the option to remount for longer trips. I'm thinking this low profile Coffman will allow for the remount. Does that sound right?

Just purchased this as well. You were supposed to remove that gasket so you could easily push the exhaust down to the lip. It usually will just be above the lip for the upper bolt to secure. But it does sound great

Sorry, I meant to ask where you got the small decal on the back of the headstock.

Nice work! Where did you order your decal?

Thanks for the video. I’m about to buy one. Couldn’t you have just cut the old piezo off, and connect the new one to the existing wire? Instead of trying to snake it through?

As a pianist....this is normal for Guitar players? Buying a new guitar and than taking it apart?

Thanks for watching

This was beautiful steve

I bought one of these guitars out of curiosity and it is not a bad guitar. I swapped the pups with dimarzio Twang Masters which cost more than the guitar. It sounds great but I do not like the neck feel and the frets are puny. Maybe I can find a fender neck and do this. Thanks for the info.

Awesome video. So Corbin much better than mustang ?

Nice, I felt like the bass improved with brass bridge pins, definitely worth trying. Yes it's a solid top but it still seems a bit thin.

i buy this guitar yesterday, first nylon guitar (i have only electric guitars)...and i notice that the 6th E,A,D ( "metallic" strings) is a little lower volume between the nylon strings.. 🤔 is normal? need a bit more strength, its not very perceptible but im sound engineering and this is not perfection.. (i have from Amazon new piezo pickup You suggest to replace it with a new one?)

Trick got getting sharpie off a surface. Where there's marker you don't want there, get a paper towel or something ready to wipe quickly making sure you can get the paper towel into whatever nooks and crannies you need to. Get ready, you have to work fast. Mark a small area with sharpie and very quickly wipe it off. I believe there's enough urethane on that neck for this to work. The new sharpie wets the old sharpie and makes it all wet enough to come off clean. It wouldn't work on a Fender neck without urethane or any dull surface. Good luck!

What type of Harley Benton is the second guitar with spruce top (3:06)? Is it CLG-48CE Wide NT?

I have the same guitar, but mine is the Fender Version! I love the way it plays, man. PS- Happy B-Day, buddy!

David Alonzo?

Just kicking back with a cup of tea as the snow piles up outside enjoying your cool upgrade video, very therapeutic. I’ve also just adjusted the action on my American Acoustasonic Tele and been playing it all night! Hope you’re keeping well and still playing, best regards from the west coast of Scotland.

Love this video! Great sounding guitar and nice tune at the end my good sir 👍🏼

I worked for them.

Pickguard Change: ok, String Tree Change: ok, Fretboard decals: is too obvious beeing fake „inlays“, Blackmarker coloring a guitar: a No Go! Kids don‘t try this at home, this is pure bungling!🤢

Buy a ruler. Really. This is looks rediculous.

Fantastic detail on watching someone fastening screws into the bolt on and watching a nut get colored with blue magic marker😂 What's with the "Guitar Whisperer" The least relevant and purposeful guitar video I ever come across.

It's an absolute Nono .You just make pig ears out silk perches .cheap and nasty look .

Nut saddle confusion 🤔 stickers 😦😦 ruination tarting up leave the poor thing alone.

Thank you ..

This is an older video but I have been looking at several videos for this guitar since I love the look of it. You improved on it 100 especially on the choice of pickguard! Great work good sir.

Hi Steve. Sorry to hear about your wife's passing. Go easy friend. One day at a time. Take care

That Jensen doesnt seem to be an instrument speaker.

putting decals on a classical guitar is NOT what any serious student or pro does.

I upgraded the pickups in my Classic Vibe Starcaster this week. I found a guy (Martin A Smith) who make hand-wound pickups, including Wide Range Humbuckers. It's interesting how different the guitar sound and so much better. The mistake I made, though was ordering Chrome pickups when the other hardware is Nickel (I am clueless and I didn't even think about the the look of the metal. Chrome was default, but I could have selected Nickel from the drop-down). It looks fine I would prefer it if everything matched so now I am thinking about buying a Chrome Bridge for it.

hi Steve cheers and greetings for your video and job sharing! 🙂what is the lowest action you think is possible to obtain on it? i used to play comfortable my "jazzy chords" in the middle of freatboard, the best action i got it from my TAylor Big baby (1mm) without buzz, not a great guitar but decent sound and good for live. What you think is possible to obtain at less on that HB? thanks a lot bug hug!

after having this seat for a month was it worth the money and is it really comfortable

I am currently 4500 miles into the DCT an love every mile. It's fast and agile and just fun to ride!

thats awesome. Like everything you did to it.

Sharing what I did to my rebel. Love this bike. Rides very well, very glad i got this bike. Traded Shadow 750, a great upgrade!

That looks terrible 🤯

I wanted to add more comfort to my new ride and a better looking saddle! I think I did...

I never like that pickguard too but im too scared to do it to my d10

Compensated saddle requires a wound 3rd string or it wont intonate right.....just in case you didnt know that. Btw where is the string tree?

Guitaaaaaaahhhh

I shall be getting mine HB in 2 weeks but the se version with electrics and let y’a know how it sounds 👍👍👍

So Steve how did you like your Harley Benton has it aged well and now three years later sound really well

Steve same guitar same problem. I go this last year from GC. Do you know the size of the Allen wrench? I thought it was a 4mm but that fits too loose , 5mm wont fit. Hopefully it wasn't stripped at the factory..

Nickel Wound Strings on an Acoustic actually do react & sound a bit like Gypsy Jazz strings which are Silver Plated Copper so you get more of a Gypsy Jazz Sound.

I think those Rouxinol R-30 Strings (they have a Wound B String & also include a Pick) would really rock along w/ Power Pins for easier restringing

I found this when I was looking for my friend’s version and thought this is lovely, thank you.

Great job Steve, I appreaciate the video. Just what i was looking for.

What is the model number for the Pearl tuners you used?

I have this martin for only 5 months and I play 1 hour a day but already I have fret wear all over :( I do have heavy hand but don't think that much for this to be justified
