DIY Budget Explorer Guitar Kit: Hit or Miss?
£160 DIY Explorer Kit Build.
I tried to build this as an "out of the box" build with no neck adjustment, just glue it and pray. Unfortunately that didn't quite work out and the build was almost a failure.
I've salvaged most of it and can make it playable once I do a fret level / crown.
But hey, at least it will look good hanging on my wall, right?
Here's the link to the kit:

I have no affiliation with this item or seller. If you buy the kit, be prepared to have to re-cut the neck slot.
Thanks for watching :)

My garden workshop build from scratch
มุมมอง 1.3K28 วันที่ผ่านมา
It's finally finished! This workshop has been in my head for over 2 years now and this May I finally got the opportunity to spend some money to build it. The total cost for the build (including interior plywood walls and insulation) was just under £3500 - all materials were purchased from a local family run business, Ray Grahams: www.raygrahams.com/ I have no experience building sheds or worksh...

Ashtray😊
I don't think it was a failure. It looks beautiful with the red and black. Couldn't you possibly use a hairdryer on the neck to loosen the glue and fix it from there?
Oh dear 😂 good mending and it'll be top 👌
I think you did very nice job. Learn from your mistakes. One thing you need to know anything made of wood can be altered. if I was you, I would take it back apart. I think you can use the heat gun to heat the neck up and that way it’ll melt the glue inside you get the neck back off of it. The other thing you could do re-drill the holes for the bridge and the tailpiece I would greet you as a C+ given what you have to work with, but you can do it. I’ve done a lot of things I had to start over.😊
Reliced guitars. Let me pretend I played this guitar a lot. It's one of the worst trends so far.
Lol wait until you see my planned parody of these 🤭
@@Giant_Guitars Can't wait to see it. I often hear the excuse BUT THE ARE SO CONFORTABLE! I call nonsense on that. Anyone can take some sandpaper and break the edges of the fretboard. Bam! Done. If you buy these things you definitely do want to look cool as if you lived in bars and have decades of playing experience. It reminds me of these guys who walk around in full camouflage because they want people to think they are badass military. Absolute cringe.
Jaguar body would look great with that slab!
Its gotta be a fuitar with the ibenese handle
You should have first checked with some dental floss how the strings would align if assembled. That is why I do that always first. That way you can just send it back. It's also some no name... Harley Benton makes some really decent kits. They at least almost always get the main things right. Frets can be an issue though but these things are there to tinker with them anyway so that wouldn't bother me.
I agree, the Harley kits are fantastic quality for the money and are guaranteed to work at least haha
Food is better when seasoned
Very true
Alright, I gotta ask,what did you do to your thumb?
Hit it with a hammer when building my shed haha. I did my finger too but it has grown out already 🤣
Crusty finger juice is the name of my TATU tribute band
🤣🤣🤣
make a skateboard
So did you fix the E strings line up? Where you showed us it was incorrect, an said you'd fix it later.
@@danielcastillo1225 not yet mate, have been working on other projects so haven't went back to this
I like it, sometimes ugly is beautiful, would play a lot to relic it even more
Offset tele time👀
Dont think thats actual redwood (pinus syvestris), looks more like douglas fir/ Oregon pine. Softwood not great (poor sustain) for electric guitars though?
@@alang6238 you could be right, I'm going by what I was told just haha. Yeah it'll be for an electric guitar, I don't know what yet though! I might have an idea 💡 but it's nuts.
@@Giant_Guitars You really want a dense hardwood for an electric guitar body, I made one from afrormosia and maple/ rosewood. Make an Etsy cheese board with your softwood...already made thumb hole! 😅
@@alang6238 haha I know I've done pine Tele bodies in the past barncaster style so this would end up something similar, I find impregnation with resin helps a lot! On the other hand I do need a good chopping board for myself 🤔
it is worth it. Take the neck off with a hot air gun and gentle pressure. Heart in mouth time but it does work. I had a v kit the same.
Interesting, I might have to try this bud
@@Giant_Guitars forgot to mention that I used an ali plate to protect the wood from the direct heat to stop the wood scorching.
@@philfrite5324 oh ok thank you mate
I think this redish wood would make a really nice explorer like you just did or even some shape like flying v might look nice with 1 pickup. If you really go for a Telecaster shape you should definitively consider doing it esquire style bcs it looks so much cooler with only a single coil in the bridge position. Looking foreward to the upcoming stuff on your channel.
@@christianhartwig4323 agree with everything you've said here! And thank you kindly 🙏
Use the rot hole with the input jack
Beautiful wood! I'd say make a bass body but I'm biased
Turn the rot hole into a carry handle on the guitar body. Or make a bunch of wooden spoons to sell for an absurd price haha
Live edge guitar is sort of a genius idea actually. As you laid it out it would maybe even make it more comfortable to play while sitting down.
Chopping board the rot could be made into a handle
That does NOT look anything like Mahogany. Nice work....I would not put that style pickguard on that finish. Some nut work and bridge work and should be great.
Steve vai type guitar and make the beauty mark the hole/handle
As a cabinetmaker my advice would be to chuck it on the log burner 😂
Haha you might be right
Did you not like the Dimarzio rails pickup? Seems weird to change that out for a different pickup considering you had no particular pickup in mind.
A travel guitar
2nd pickup, easy
A what?? 😏😏
@@Giant_Guitars why
Do the Etsy thing haha
Haha
Does it burn good?
For sure lol
@@Giant_Guitars That would be sacrilege eh!
Its A Explorer Jr
Absolutely
Purple
make the rot into a Steve Vai like handle for a JEM/Tele "thing"
Haha that would be pretty cool
A really long scale baritone single cut. Make the hole a feature point of the body
How long scale is really long scale haha sounds great
@@Giant_Guitars let's go totally insane and go 34"? Though strings would probably be hard or expensive. What about 30.5?
@@IPlayVidyaGames you know what. Im going to try this just for you. Maybe not on this piece of wood but I've it on my list for sure!!
@@Giant_Guitars Woah thats so cool. Itd look best with a single humbucker i think. ETA. Perhaps an offset single coil right up by the neck too... but definitely a high output humbucker . Actually a P90 in the neck?!
Fender doesn’t use magic wood for the body and neck that Squier cannot obtain. If the wood is good, get new pickups and tuners, one hour of neck work, and it can be just as good as a custom shop.
The guitar looks AMAZING. I love it.
Thank you 😊
@@Giant_Guitars You're welcome.
Andrew W.K. pizza guitar!!!!!!
P90 tele! They're so cool. I'm starting work on one myself :)
Doesn't look very reliqued or road worn to me
It's where you keep your rag and guitar polish for when you need to go clean.
Single hum V guitar?
Ohhhh
Props for playing welcome home it’s a pretty underrated song
I agree 🙏 thanks
I would be a great to make a wood/epoxy guitar hybrid.
I think so too
@@Giant_Guitars at least the front if the guitar. A Tele without a pickguard.
Single H tele! Have you done forearm & belly cuts for a guitar body before?
Yeah I have, this would be nice for that too as it's so soft
Double cut jr
P90 single pickup esquire
Booga suga stash?
