HEY. HEY YOU. Join Guitar Super System. It’s even cooler than this silver surfer guitar: guitarsupersystem.com
First
Buy a fan fret (multiscale) neck and then scallop the frets
If you're not down with the squire neck, I'll take it
Call me stupid, but does an aluminum neck really make a difference? I mean the pickups are the ones making the sound right? I am really confused.
...I'm not stuck in quarantine I work in a hospital. In Canada where it's... not quite the same. Statistically I'd say I'm not the only one watching who works at a hospital in Canada.
So there! XD Now you know what some of us are doing. :)
Wow thats crazy it sounds just like a guitar
God damn. It really sounds like guitar...
Is someone gonna get woodshed?
Wooshed
exactly
Waiting to r/woooosh someone...
“Will definitely be seen in more videos!”
*never seen again*
Omg yes! Not even in the background or anything!
probably woke up the next morning and it had bent from gravity
4 months later... 🤔
7 months later... 😢
Update, never seen again
If you really pay attention to it, you can hear that it sounds like a guitar. Mindblowing.
I would've liked your comment, but it's at 69 likes, and in the right mind, I can't ruin that perfect harmony
do you guys know what song is playing when he's changing out the neck?
Gee how about that.
The aluminium guitar neck is an old invention. I own an Ovation Matrix from ca. early 1970’s with a solid aluminium neck but with a rosewood fretboard. It also has extraordinary sound, as all Ovations do.
Literally builds a metal guitar - does not play metal. I am so disappointed right now.
Check out the Melvins, Torche, Made Out of Babies... plenty of bands use aluminum neck guitars and basses.
So disappointed he didn't play surfing with the alien
Wow 🤣you win
He is not skilled enough to play metal. He only knows one thing, click baiting
Was not a metal guitar. It was a metal neck
7:15 he finally starts playing
My hero
We love you
Hero we deserve.
Thank
Thx
Man i am in love with that guitar, incredibly stylish. That sky blue with alu looks epic. Great job...
The real question I hoped was answered is : how does it FEEL?
Now that's called metal music.
nice
The tone is pretty *_bright_*
Wah wah waaaah
See what I did there😂
@@mnkeeper0611 kirk hammet ?
@@mk_rexx it took me 18 minutes to get the joke and it was also funny 🤣🤣
The fingerprints that neck would accumulate every single time the guitar is played would drive me absolutely bonkers.
It’s the first thing you notice!
Yea if I got anything like this it would HAVE to have a satin or flat finish. Or I'd lose it.
Don't worry about that. Keeping it in tune as the temperature shifts one degree will get you ripe for the funny farm long before the fingerprints will do.
Brushed finish is win, polished seems like a mistake on that otherwise uniquely beautiful neck!
It's about rocking it. If you care about fingerprints and cigarette dust and dents and so on, you're a 50s housewife with OCD, not a rocker... Heck, most of the greats played hella burnt, bruised, dented guitars...
Very interesting sound.. not a complete sound difference but better than what I thought with a metal buzz sound I was expecting.. I've watched this video before and had to do it again as I love mash up sounds. Nice job my friend.
I am with the others on this... Sounds pretty "normal". I ABSOLUTELY love the look of the finished project though. Seriously love the unique beauty
damn everyone’s guitar center is huge and mine is like a closet compared to theirs 😹
Mine is moving to a town a few miles further but those people are in their 70's soooo that will take over a year for a small closet to move
I live in Australia and we don’t even have guitar centres

@ u disgusting, bud
Just found your channel today, That is how I spent quite a bit of time learning how awesome you are what you do ! Love it !!!!
Best guitar I ever heard was a Jackson with 2 Seymour Duncans and one B.B. King pickup. All three on sounded fantastic. Everybody always wanted to play that cheap guitar over the expensive ones.
Which Jackson model?
As a lightly rounded musician keeping it as a hobby and having a career as an automotive technician and avid drag racer, I've found it easier to keep it simple rather then go over the top. And it definitely seems to work in both aspects of my life 😂 Currently kicking around the idea of building a strat. Just keeping the body of it, thinking a relic style.
The employees in that store are so chill, wish people were that chill where I'm at.
W H Y A R E Y O U E V E R Y W H E R E
My local guitar center has like 2 nice people, the rest couldn't care less.
Oh you again
lmao ur everywhere like stickmaster500 and justin y
Probably they’re chilled because they know him
Man I can't believe you didn't do a before and after sound test so we can compare the difference
he didn't cause there would be no difference

@@phantom-rider lol. the official name of north korea is DPRK or Democratic People's Republic of Korea. That's the joke he made
Exactly what I was thinking
@@veryverydemocraticpeoplesr2992 well he did change the pickups so it would sound different t
That was such an enjoyment to watch and listen!
Sounds so beautiful!!
1. Play this before swapping necks.
2. Play after swapping necks.
3. Turn off all the effects while testing.
3/5 episode. GL
Yes thank you
Exactly - As it's done in the video, we have no idea if the sound of the guitar was changed at all. I initially thought it sounded quite bright but was that really due to the new neck? Without an A/B - preferably with the visual turned off or moved away from the necks for a moment so we are not influenced by what we see - I can't say the neck had any affect on the sound. It does look quite cool!
^^^
you don't know how its sounds??? Differences !!! Jajajajajaja let me guess, You're TAB GUY"??!!!!
Agreed i dont hear any difference between neck materials at all
That's cool, he totally got that Strat to sound like a Strat!
Yeah it doesn't sound any different to me personally.
Sounds a little different but i would say it’s more from the sustain then actual metal, aluminum would probably have an interesting density
but F truss rods :P
I dont think the point of it is that its ment to sound recognisably different? I think the biggest change there is how it FEELS different, it probably feels great
@@carlosfernandez3565don't need it. It doesn't bend haha
i like the sound of it. Keep the good work dude
other than most likely being very prone to temperature changes that would affect tuning (as the Travis Bean guitars are/were), it sounds very good...definitely makes for a guitar with major "stage bling"..
That thing is smoother than my marriage.
Austyn Roderick self depreciation joke.
Its okay dude.

That's rough bro
Smoother then my grandpa's ass
@@theworldsokayestmichigande851 Not having wrinkles helps
“I got busted for touching the guitar” 😂😂😂
“But I’m gunna buy it”
Any other year, that guitar would cost six figures.
I bet you could touch string packages all day long and nobody would say a word.
He was gonna finger it later either way
At least you didn't play Stairway on it...
Brilliant- like all these videos! 🙏🤟🎵🎵
It has a little more high-end and it's just a tiny bit smoother sounding- because when you're using vibrato the string isn't rubbing over a rough surface- has a flow to it that I really like. If you shred- this thing would be perfect imo. Also sounds great for elevator jazz- which I happen to like so- maybe I'll get to put one together some day. Looks easy enough to do- the only part I've never done is taking the neck off and replacing it but- with the bolt on Fender design- no shims or anything- easy to do.
Rumor has it this guy is still carrying a squirt of hand sanitizer in his hand
he doesnt know how the stuff works xD
Well it does say hand not hands sanitiser.🙂
I’m dyin😂
I thought I was the only one...
disobeying the arrows
It’s almost as if most of the sound of an electric guitar comes from the pickups
Yep,...99.99999%
The funniest thing is he's vehemently a "tonewood" person and attempts to joke about people who think otherwise.
I guess it's hard for him to justify flashing his cash on youtube if he doesn't get to talk about how great the wood sounds
My dad's electronic guitar is a cheap Swedish version of a Walmart guitar purchase.
Sounded like shit out of the box. Also certain frets where to high.
He filed the frets in question to order and put new pickups on it. Great sound now.
mostly, yeah. But everything can contribute to the sound. it's little differences that all comes down to preference.
I prefer a warmer, vintage vibe so I modify my guitars to suit that.
9% pickups. 90% amp and other post cord effects. 1% body and neck.
Kramer made a guitar back in the 70s that had an aluminum neck. I remember the headstock was split down the middle. They were actually really cool and were quite popular. I don't remember them sounding all that different, but that was 45 years ago!
i loved this vid and the fact its my local GC makes it even better hope to see you around bud :)
Title: SOUNDS CRAZY
Guitar: Sounds totally normal
I agree.
Doesn’t sound normal to me. It has a different tone than a normal guitar.
@@psych336 would you call that crazy? I'd call having a slightly different tone normal
Eric Hopkins Yeah it sounds “CRAZY” to me as someone who has played many different guitars. It’s pretty cool. Also I bet the difference is more audible in real life versus through this video.
@@psych336 sorry. Didn't realize you have played many different guitars
Hey, so in case anyone is cares, the name of the song that plays while he's assembling the guitar is "The Forgotten Memories" by Luella Green
I guess I like classical music now
Thank you!!
bruhh thanks
Let's go I was looking for it in the description anyways thx brother
thanks
Love it man....
Love the look! It probably feels more different than it sounds!
Darrell Braun: Glass neck
Tyler: Aluminium neck
Just watched the Braun video last night the stars have aligned
It's now time for a concrete neck
B.E.Guitar with a gold truss rod
natenate concrete and gold foo fighters
Obsidian Neck
why did he use the hand sanitizer and then just hold it in his hand awkwardly for like 45 seconds lmaoooo
To throw it away
I was thinking the same thing lol
probably was thinking about giving a 45 second quarantine or something
And then he really got covid-19
Because you touch yourself
I am interested in the long term. How does that neck survive over the years? Does the tone of it mature/degrade/etc? Does it go through strings faster/slower? Does the finish lose anything over time? If so, must you polish/refinish it? So many things to consider.
What a wicked ass Axe!!
Love your vids😃
Is it just me or does it not actually sound that crazy? Sounds like a normal Strat with maybe a bit more high end or jangliness.
You're not crazy. The high end could just as (or more) easily be accounted for by the amplifier settings or the capacitor on the tone pot. Neck material makes such a negligible difference in tone, it's easily covered by the electronics.
@@DavidHite this is simply a false statement regarding tone wood. comments on the electronics is true. Check out a pbass or jbass comparison. Same model with maple fingerboard vs. rosewood. You will find if you put the two through a spectrum analyzer at matched volume, there is actually a few DB's of a difference in certain frequency areas. So objectively, it in fact does make more than a negligible difference if you dont feel like compensating with your equalizer in a surgical way all the time
@@chrismusicx sure, you can see the difference with a spectrum analyzer and even hear the difference with your ears. But it's not a radical difference. It's easier (not to mention cheaper) to tweak a knob on your amplifier or guitar, or even change the position of your picking hand than to change instruments. Granted, much of that goes out the door with acoustic instruments, but even with that, the position of your hands likely makes a much more significant and noticeable difference than the neck material.
@@chrismusicx And how do you know that the difference in those comparisons is the tonewood, and not the other components of the guitar?
I don’t know, for me it actually sounds quite weak, like the sound just wants to die constantly and he has to do something to keep it going. I mean the sound itself is pretty normal, but it’s as if it had no body and no sustain.
Could've done a before and after with the original neck.
Agreed, but I think it has less woody clunk to it and I like woody clunk...
so I give it 2*...
It's a Squier dude, if you've heard one cheap squier strat you've heard them all.
@@sorrenblitz805 do you watch the video?he changing the pickup dammit
@@drpastormartinosempa8930 none of my guitars have ever made clunky sounds. are you sure it's the wood?
@@davidtomkins4242 Oh?.... Don't worry... One day you'll get better! ; ^ D
You're awesome man, you made my night
I owned an original first generation Ovation Applause guitar. It had an aluminum fretboard and frets on a composite neck. Sounded fine.
'I'm only interested in the body'. Men, they're all the same.
Lmao
But The head is part of the body.
omh20,
The Joke ------>
You
I don't know about you, but I'm all about the neck.
Only because WE KNOW BETTER !
Wish you talked a bit about how the neck actually feels to play. Sounds great though.
I have one. Most aluminium necks are much much smaller than wooden ones, mine is about 0.6" at the first fret. They feel very solid to play, I cant describe in more detail than that, but wooden necks feel like toys now, they also don't get sticky or anything if you sweat.
Are the frets steel though? I would think aluminum frets would not be good. He stated it was all aluminum.
@@whatatool Yeah all modern aluminium necks have steel frets, no need to re fret them, it can be done but no luthier will touch them. They are fretted like any other instrument, fret wire pressed into a slot.
ive played one before. they're smooth and feel amazing. the only downside is the weight and the fact that the neck is a little bit cold when you first pick it up
@@peterwickens2978 If nobody will refret them then that seems pointless. You'll just have to end up buying a whole new aluminium neck every few years.
very smooth jazzy bluesy sound! i cant say i didnt enjoy that! ahhhh
Love the grit on the the low mid range, the look is beutiful!!
There's a guy in England who makes glass necks. Glass guitars too.
The one British guy that isn’t a lazy git
Any of his guitar craftsmanship viewable online? Possibly TH-cam?
What about glass strings?
He should do that next
@@bryangluce I dont know if it's the same guy but the first video recommendation I got with this video was about glass guitars and the channel is called Morningstar glass guitars.
Tyler: *puts hand sanitizer in one hand* *proceeds to hold it and not do anything with it* lol
Gotta at least go through the motions. There's a deadly pandemic afoot, after all.
He did accomplish contaminating his thumb on the plunger. So you gotta give him some credit.
never heard anything like that. really like it.
Such a bright and powerful tone. It goes to show that the neck influences 2/3rd of the overall tone simply because it's longer than the body , twice as long in fact
Would be interesting to see what an aluminium neck would sound like on an acoustic guitar 🤔👌
Probably make it to weighty on the neck side but I am also super curious as to how it would affect its sound.
My first brand name guitar was an Ovation Matrix, it had an aluminum neck. By and large, the neck contributes little to the sound, imo, the Matrix's body projects differently than a wide body; back to the neck, the frets cratered out in @2-2/2 years and there was a 6 month backlog in getting a replacement.
I think it would only be interesting to see what it would sound like on an acoustic.
@@mikelord9860 Yeah, for me it was an Ovation Applause, also aluminum neck. It was my first decent guitar. Played it for a couple of years, then sold it. Later I realized that the biggest down side is that frets cast right into the neck can't ever be replaced.
Now that's something
"SOUNDS CRAZY"
The only crazy thing about this vid was the clickbait man. That thing sounds pretty damn normal.

@@visionofdisorder 10 minutes of free content, you poor guy...

@@danielflintknapping The problem is the expectation given for something that didn't happen, if your boyfriend tells you you're getting head tonight after work you'll be bummed when he says he's too tired. I've never heard an aluminum neck, so if he says it sounds crazy, i'm expecting to hear something not quite like anything I've ever heard. He could easily title it, SOLID ALUMINUM NECK!!! I'd watch for that alone without the expectation of some crazy sound.
@werewolvesbyday yeah, I just scrubbed through the vid to find the part where he played and can’t believe there’s like 7 minutes of bullshit before

Damn that guitar not only sounds fantastic it also looks freakishly cool! Imagine that neck under stage lights!
Me: See's him apply hand sanitizer
also me: staring at his hand the whole time and not do anything with it
Yeah. He just... carried it in his hand??
He probably got the sanitizer and then remembered "Oh crap, I'm holding the neck in my other hand."
@@fishysquidman5689 i woulda just held it with my arm but yeah im also prone to being stupid like this

HAHAHAHAHAHA
Didn't see you put any lemon oil on the neck. That aluminium is soooo going to dry out!!
A couple of guitars you should try to track down:
1) Bond electric guitar. Mick Jones of The Clash used one as his primary guitar when he started Big Audio Dynamite. Had a synthetic fretboard with a saw-looking profile. Each "tooth" of the saw served as a fret.
2) Ok, not a guitar, but Novatone made a guitar neck with interchangeable fingerboards. Their biggest name endorsee was bassist Tony Levin, who used them with Peter Gabriel in the '80s.
Played a Bond back in the 80s. It sounded great but it was extremely difficult to bend strings on it.
I own a Travis Bean TB1000S. It has an aluminum neck but with a rosewood FB on it. The body is wood. My favorite guitar i own, it plays itself literally. Heavy but has a tone that NO other guitar ive picked up has had. Def check them out or some of the early Kramer guitars. Expensive but nothing else quite like them. Thanks for the video, as im always interested in seeing some of the new companies messing around with aluminum.
That is literally the perfect guitar to play Pink Floyd’s “Breathe” on.
Or "hey you"
😄I was thinking about Primus for The Desaturating Seven😆
Man, stop being that basic
Well Gilmour played a Travis Bean with an aluminum neck on that album so there you go.
@@andreretana8930 Your advice is appreciated and duly noted, 'chill 420'.
Definitely would’ve wanted to hear the wood neck with those new pickups to see the difference.
Alu neck player here. Aluminium necks are much more wide range, they are balanced at the top and the bottom end, wood sounds quite muffled in comparison, lots of low end woof but no clarity up top
It would sound the same, providing the frets are made from the same material...
They would sound the exact same, fretboard material changes absolutely nothing as far as tone goes, it just feels different
@@adammaher6962 Yeah that ain't true. I've actually tested this myself. I took a strat with a rosewood fretboard and swapped the neck for a gloss maple fretboard, while keeping all the pickups and everything else the same, and the maple fretboard sounded noticably brighter.
Bombaclat 1
Nope, they won‘t😊
And the neck is entirely made out of aluminium😉 not just the fretboard... big difference😊
I'd like at see an Applause acoustic made by Ovation. It had the same rounded plastic body with wood face. The neck though, solid aluminum including frets. It had a very tinny sound when new, but mellowed after a couple years of daily playing.
Edit:Bright (too bright) would better describe the sound
*_Man, no question that is one of the most badass Guitar Necks I've ever seen. Even Prince would have been in Envy of it._*

Kramer actually started out with aluminum necks. But took too long to hand carve. Due to lack of CNC machines in those days. So to wood they went.
