I don't think that's too much. If the guitar suits you, then it's worth it. Cool Cat!

Build your own neck. You have a backup neck... Right? Right... I would go walnut stain. African hardwood neck with maple cap.

🤦🏻‍♂️

No. It’s a piano. Destroying it to make a guitar is a disgrace to music.

wish you would have played a before and after of the sound

Your brother does amazing work. Those guitars he built are gorgeous... I'll be looking at his website after I post this. You should definitely have him on once in a while! I have yet to do a nut and saddle, so I'll use this video when I finally decide to give it a try. Looking forward to the next video!

I much prefer my Jazzmasters with Jazzmaster pickups and the vibrato, it is amazing how popular these became, considering it was only the neck and body that resemble the Jazzmaster.

Hello Jeffery, aren't you a handsome little fellow!

Are you keeping that one? Those old Fender acoustics are surprisingly good, even though they were considered rather cheap at the time. It seems like guitarists are just starting to realize that, so grab them while you can!

fishman mich thomson to the bridge, and what the heck is a neck pickup?

Excuse me for being so dumb, but are you English, Scottish, or Irish?

love the dedication and attention to detail. i wonder what bone is that?

Can you do this to a Floyd cavity?

I don't buy crap guitars you have to modify...

hard tail fender rofl... people are idiots.

I got 3x guitars for £120 on eBay so that's £40 each!

Maybe transparent grey? I think bright colors on figured wood look tacky but sunburst or amber on this modern shape would look weird too.

But there are two PU holes in the plate?!

Save ❤

Hi great tutorial....I can't access the website for diagrams etc

Great stuff, keep it coming!

Cheap Squire + decent setup, new grovers, lace sensors, titanium or brass trem block, bone nut = Top class guitar.

I work at the Gibson Custom Shop and I am an Explorer guy! I enjoyed your video especially the staining part. That guitar is sexy! Too bad about the buzzing but nothing a little more love can't fix. 🤘

Probably to store a second bridge pickup

They are apparently made of alder as well? Or at least specs have listed that in the past.

First time viewer. All the way through I was willing you to say feck-it one more time and build a neck! Good lad, you know the right answer... 👏 Subscribed. 😅

If you can't figure out what the neck pickup (there's your first clue) hole is for, you should, frankly, give up guitar building.

Can't wait to see how this series goes!

Nice build! Pink in relic looks so sweet. How do you like Warpig vs Invader? Alnico version I guess

Who doesn't love a pink hardtail?

It's class. She'll be delighted!

same pickups, tailpiece, and controls as the $150 squier mustang HH

Hi Jeffrey

My question is, where are the holes for the volume, tone and pickup switch?

Great video, will definitely be checking our your Brother's work too! Love the concept of the upgrade and trade, might borrow that idea to get myself some new toys

All it took was changing all the important hardware....

Those bodies are brilliant! Recently picked myself up a black paisley strat body for my new project

Nice video as usual! Hope you get to the gibson les paul junior. Really like the combination of the trading with some modding involved! We need more videos with the Giant Bro, gotta convince him to show up in the near future!

Your brothers guitars a stunningly beautiful, very talented thank you for sharing. Wishing the best for your efforts.

I'm not quite sure if I like your contents becoming too professional 😉 Seriously, this is really good stuff, nice too see your curiosity watching your brother! I will definitely follow your journey to your Les Paul (and I sincerely hope it will be the junior model with one p90!!!)

Great idea - it still blows my mind that new strings are considered a selling point on listings for sellers that actually play. Literally every guitar ive ever sold i polished it and put new strings on before pictures and listing.

I mean that's honestly not a bad price even if you're only keeping the body and neck

yuou put one of those cool animated sceens from a disposable vape in there

I have an early 70’s Japanese Madeira by Guild 000 Martin copy that someone recently gave me for free. It has the same metal insert in the bridge and is also missing a thumb screw, lol. I’m willing to bet this Fender you got was made at the same factory as my Madeira by Guild. I’d have to compare, but I think it’s nearly identical down to the rosette and design at the edges. Mine doesn’t have the original tuners because the prior owner changed them for Grovers. The pick guard shapes are different. But I’m fairly sure both your guitar and mine were made in the same Japanese factory. Too many similarities. The nut and saddle on mine are super worn with both being plastic. I was trying to find something that might fit off the shelf - or at least close because I don’t have access to fancy sanders and saws. I have a Dremel and would need to use sandpaper. If you have any advice of where I can get something with similar specs that I can then tweak at home, let me know. I’m ill and on Medicaid with a service dog to take care of, so I don’t have much money to spend on taking it to a shop to have a luthier do the work. I really want to get this guitar in better playing condition because it sounds really lovely. If anyone knows of any bone or TUSQ nut and saddles that might work for this guitar’s weird specs (particularly the saddle size being much smaller and narrower), please let me know. Details for social media where you can reach out more directly are in my bio. I tend to miss seeing comment replies here.

love these kinds of series, just keep in mind that its a lot more interesting seeing you restore the guitars and then getting profit rather than just buy-sell-buy-sell, cheers!

I'd love to see more stuff from Pict Guitars. Just love hearing him explain in his way some nice basics

Fender mustang neck

Easy Target

Another brilliant video! The content has been great at late and this is a brilliant concept. Definitely get your bro back on board!
