@thebaldshredder what's cool is you showed ppl how to do the swap with basic home tools that just about everyone has laying around somewhere, even if there are better tools to use. 🍻
Hey, Mr. Shredder: I started watching this video six (6) minutes after you posted it. By the time it ended, it had one hundred forty-four (144) views. that guitar is freaking awesome. That graphic work is first rate. Nice jam you did too. If the artwork and the hardware were not planned ahead to match, that's what I'd call destiny. I'll go as far as to say, in my opinion, that is the best looking and most cutting edge designed guitar you own. Richard James hit that one outta the park!
Richard, got your CD on eBay a while back and it rocks! Midnight Drive is my favorite as we we speak, I listen to it while pumping in the gym, a great motivator! 👍 Keep up the good work man!
Hey I'm JB and I watch your lives almost every weak. I love that guitar this is incredible custom guitar it's cool you made it just for that album. But you know it's not a real brand😂 kidding I watched your lies I heard what the jerk said about your guitar and not being a real brand I don't know what's wrong with people Fender wasn't a brand until somebody made it one I love what you're calling your guitars I think it's cool and original.❤
This guitar looks great. I installed my new Guyker locking tuners on my JS22 this weekend. I am sold on these tuners. I have spoiled myself to the point that they will go on just about every guitar I plan on keeping. Thanks for sharing. Rock on!
Both your custom made Rykatas look killer! Great upgrade with the red/gold tuners. I personally love the binding, really pulls together with the maple neck. Turned out great, I'd buy them both🤘🍻
That is a cool looking guitar, really like the graphics. I would keep the black string trees otherwise if you go with gold, you would have to go with a gold bridge and strap buttons. I have found that usually a socket wrench is a lot easier to use when changing the tuners usually a 10 mm with less chance of scratching or damaging the bushings.
I paused this and went to spotify to check out yer album. I listened to the first few songs and they were pretty good, i look forward to hearing the rest 🤘y'all have a badass day🤘🍻🤘
Man Richard that one really turned out killer. Love the homage to the cover art. Left me wondering how it compares to the orange Leo Jamz Rykata. Looking forward to this Wednesday's live stream.
Killer song and killer guitar dude! The binding is fantastic and gives it even more eye appeal. Also, add the gold string trees, gold strap locks, plates and a brass nut for more sustain! 👍 🔥🔥🔥
Tiger's, indeed, back! Always awesome with the jam. I love Guyker, too! I ordered a custom Explorer from IYV last year after watching one of your videos and swapped out the stoptail, bridge, and tuners with Guyker equivalents after a while, and thought, with how little those cost, these guitars should come with Guyker hardware to begin with lol
Awesome guitar! I put Guyker tremolo's and locking tuners on all my mods and builds. The tremolo and locking tuners really improve the intonation ease and quality.
I'm totally into that! I've seen some awesome guitars with comic book character themes. As an artist and graphic designer, I could totally see myself creating something like that one day.
Richard, the Guitar looks absolutely beautiful! Do you know the reason why those tuners look so similar to Gotoh, because they are in fact made by Gotoh in their Korean factory. They also make the Floyd Rose Special, 1000, and Floyd Rose 1500 series tremolo in the Korean factory as well as many other brands OEM Tremelos. ☮️💜😊
Love the guitar, it does have that 80's vibe to it. Hint for the tuners: Get yourself a set of deep well sockets, it makes doing work like that a lot faster - and safer from damage!
I did a magnet swap on a 13.5k bridge humbucker recently to an alnico 2 to turn it into a wolfgang/evh voiced pickup. Should re purpose that IYV humbucker you might like it. Also killer custom love those graphics. 👍🐯🐉
Sorry dude, but we never had guitars like that back in the 1980s. We had to paint our own guitars by hand. BUT, That is a very nice looking guitar you got ! Congrats! By the way, here is a tip for all you guitar+artists. Create an image you want to print on a guitar body using Gimp or Photoshop. Take that image in a usb-pen and Go to your local photocopy store and have them print it out on an A3 size page in glossy Vinyl paper. After that, cut out the image to the size of your guitar body and stick on it your cool image. Its that easy to create your own unique guitar and it cost you 8 to 10 euros/dollars. I often print out my own vinyl stickers for my guitar mods on an A4 glossy paper for 4 euros a page.
Killer!! Beautiful Guitar. In the future you will find a 1/4“ drive 6 point deep well socket attached to a 1/4" nutdriver (screwdriver) 🪛 handle far superior for installing guitar tuners. It's much better, faster, and easier. Plus it will prevent scratching the tuner you're installing, the tuners either side of the tuner you're installing, or the headstock from being damaged and/or scratched. The 6 point deep well socket will not jump a tooth the way a 12 point sometimes can and damage the nut on the tuner. Try this once and you'll never install tuners any other way ever again. You only need 2 deep well sockets, 10mm metric and 3/8" inch standard. Let me know what you think after you've tried this. God Bless...
Those string trees are HUGHGE! Also weird to see how they are not between the high E and B string but i guess that's because of the offset of the headstock :)
i really like the sound of your original songs... when you create songs do you create it in your head first and then play it? or do you just start playing?
That graphic top is awesome. Do you have any idea how they're printing that? I assume it's maybe something like a vinyl graphic they print (like a sign shop would print) then they glue/veneer it on the body perhaps in a little vacuum chamber so the graphic gets sucked down on the body. They may have added the binding to help the edge transition of the custom graphic?
Cool Guitar, too bad they couldn't have put a portion of your graphic on the headstock also. Use a box wrench or socket when tightening the tuners in the future and I think the the sting trees should match your "Red" tuners. Great Song also. Cheers!
Yea, we have to expect small things that don't meet " our standards", to slide when these companies are working for cheap. Sounds like they put a lot in for three hundred bucks. The shippings not going to them. Actually to have them build neck and everything,, super great deal!!
It's a beauty. the binding is a better look on it.
Yes I like the binding
Guitar is awesome! Please buy a socket set my brother.
Amen, Ryan. Thank you.
10mm deep!!!
You can get a set cheap at harbor freight
I have them. Just didn't think about it 🤪

As my Australian friend would say, "It looks the goods."
Cool shred, too. Thanks for the entertainment, much appreciated.
GTR LOOKS AWESOME !!! YOUR NEW JAM ... ONE OF YOUR BEST YET ...IMHO... !!!
The white binding looks amazing and IMO complements the maple neck beautifully!
Dude guitar is badass I was born in vietnam raised in the states again badass guitars
That is awesome, Bald Shredder! You deserve it! Love the graphic. The new song is great also! \m/
I've got 5 IYV customs now since I saw your first video about them. And I love them all. And that one there is super fire, love it too.
Great to hear!
Looks AWESOME.... I have loved GUYKER Hardware for sometime I have always recommended them... beautiful graphic... Cheers 🍻🥃🥃😎🎸🎼🎵🎶🎶🎶

Thanks
Pretty killer looking guitar , the graphics and binding give it a pop!!!👍🤘
Richard, got your CD on eBay a while back and it rocks! Midnight Drive is my favorite as we we speak, I listen to it while pumping in the gym, a great motivator! 👍 Keep up the good work man!
My brand new CDs are now on ebay as of today! Hope you can check it out. 🤘
@@thebaldshredder Most definitely I will!
Dude that guitar looks so badass! Also, that song was fire 🔥. Totally brings back the tiger va dragon vibes.
I think for the extended version you need to add a solo!
@@thebaldshredder Dude that'd be sick!!

Thanks JB
Just ordered your 2 c/d s on Ebay. Can't wait 😊
Awesome! Thank you!
That's 1 sick guitar !!!!
I think the binding looks good. Lots of bang for the buck.
Guitar 🎸 looks killer.
That jam was great .
Great looking guitar Richard!
It sure is!
Well, in one word "Stunnig". Not only that, the song you wrote for it was outstanding. Great video Richard.
Thanks Mitch
Looks great RJ!
Thanks!
The best intros:)
Great looking guitar! Has a lot of Iron Man vibes - as you wear a Captain America shirt lol.
This guitar looks great. I installed my new Guyker locking tuners on my JS22 this weekend. I am sold on these tuners. I have spoiled myself to the point that they will go on just about every guitar I plan on keeping. Thanks for sharing. Rock on!
Great quality tuners
This might be the coolest looking guitar you've made a video on. Also the harmonized melodies in the song were awesome. Top notch content my friend.
Glad you liked it!
So effing cool! Love the blonde fretboard. Well done dude 🔥🤘🏼
I think the binding helps with the print. I don't think they would want to do the print without the binding.
Love the graphic.
Metal dude sent me!
Always exciting to get a hot 🔥 🎸!!! 🐅 vs. 🐉
Both your custom made Rykatas look killer! Great upgrade with the red/gold tuners. I personally love the binding, really pulls together with the maple neck. Turned out great, I'd buy them both🤘🍻
I have a common IYV and i like it
Well finished
Gutter lockers are great! I bought a set last week, and, for the price, they can't be beat. Rock on, Mighty bald one!
Guyker
@@thebaldshredder stupid auto-correct. Sorry
NICE!! Definitely change the string trees.. Nice Axe🎸🎸👍
Beautiful guitar. Those tuners are the exact set I need for my Harley Benton They are stunning. Now you just need a red switch tip. I like the binding

Great video, nice guitar, and awesome jam! I've gotta get your cds.

Sweet Tune played on one SWEET AXE. Thanks RJ
Nice Man..Looks Cool and sounds Great 👍
Thanks 👍

Richard that thing looks fantastic. A little hint. A 10 mm deep well socket will tighten those tuner nuts quite easily. Rock On !!!!
Good tip
Been modding all my chibsons with Guyker lockers. Love those colored ones.. bad ass!!!
Man Richard that one really turned out killer. Love the homage to the cover art. Left me wondering how it compares to the orange Leo Jamz Rykata. Looking forward to this Wednesday's live stream.
Very cool custom art option for personalizing a guitar!
Awesome guitar!! Reminds me of Thomas McRocklin's Ibanez RGs he has since 90's . They have killer graphics like yours!! 🤘❤️🤘
Wow this is so cool
Killer song and killer guitar dude! The binding is fantastic and gives it even more eye appeal. Also, add the gold string trees, gold strap locks, plates and a brass nut for more sustain! 👍

Awesome guitar! I put Guyker tremolo's and locking tuners on all my mods and builds. The tremolo and locking tuners really improve the intonation ease and quality.
Sweet guitar
Great piece of kit

Digging these guitars, keeping my fingers crossed for a Rhoads inspired shape.
Brilliant! 🔥💙💪
Sick guitar. Still waiting for the hurricane to drop.
Cool beans! Well not beans? Hot looking Tomales! Not Tomales either? Groovy gravy! Ok not groovy gravy? Congrats on guitar 🎸😊 Thanks Shredder 🤘
Did someone say beans?
Nice guitar 🤩 Would be great to have beauty shots too 😊
LOVE that over the top graphic!
💪😎
The tiger needs a laser pistol in his paw.
Very nice guitar ! I was thinking of printing a cover of an album that I love, like "Invasion Of Your Privacy" by Ratt, I'll definitely contact IVY !
SWEET!
sweet one bro!
bet gold strap buttons will also look sweet on it too!
Love the guitar, it does have that 80's vibe to it. Hint for the tuners: Get yourself a set of deep well sockets, it makes doing work like that a lot faster - and safer from damage!
BINDING LOOKS RAD BRO !!!
That is soooooo cooool!!!!!🎸🎸🎸🎸😎😎😎😎
Nice Axe There Brother definitely looks like an 80s guitar..
It does!
Sweet!
Totally Rad!!! 💥💥💥💥💥
Indeed
I did a magnet swap on a 13.5k bridge humbucker recently to an alnico 2 to turn it into a wolfgang/evh voiced pickup. Should re purpose that IYV humbucker you might like it. Also killer custom love those graphics. 👍🐯🐉

I loved the tone on the Humbucker. I should check out the Musiclilly pickup. What is the high output pickup called for my search online?
Link to pickups is in video description
@@thebaldshredder thanks
Thats killer !!!!!!! Song you made is killer!!!!!! What pup you running ??
Musiclily Alnico 5 high output
Killer!! Beautiful Guitar.

Richard why no 24 extra jumbo frets for this killer axe?
I feel like a guitar with a graphic design needs to be 22 frets. I guess it's an 80s thing.
Those string trees are HUGHGE! Also weird to see how they are not between the high E and B string but i guess that's because of the offset of the headstock :)
i really like the sound of your original songs... when you create songs do you create it in your head first and then play it? or do you just start playing?
Combination of both
That's Bad assed as f!

I assume it's maybe something like a vinyl graphic they print (like a sign shop would print) then they glue/veneer it on the body perhaps in a little vacuum chamber so the graphic gets sucked down on the body. They may have added the binding to help the edge transition of the custom graphic?
No idea, but it looks great.
That is fantastic. Since your link goes to the site and not the specific tuners, can you confirm if you used the Guyker GK-D-07SP ?
Yes!
@@thebaldshredder Thank you very much, sir. Now, my Rykata will indeed be perfect!
Cool Guitar, too bad they couldn't have put a portion of your graphic on the headstock also. Use a box wrench or socket when tightening the tuners in the future and I think the the sting trees should match your "Red" tuners. Great Song also. Cheers!

@@duanepetersonakaroadkill7161 for sure!
Awsome jam... hey, did you actually track the harmonies of your solos ... or using a harmonizer ? (love the guitars)
All overdubs. No harmonizer.
Damn… !!!!
cool! 🆒🆒
Yes, go with gold string trees.
Planning to
I have those tuners on my P90 SG project.Be careful,I cut my high E string by over tighting. FYI.
That thing is legendary, BS. I won't say I'm jelly. But I'm jelly.
Peanut butter and jelly
Looks pretty cool. I would want 24 frets and a Floyd on it though.
You can custom order that with IYV.
@@thebaldshredder Awesome. They got baritone by any chance also?
Probably. Send an email and ask.
Needs a gold bridge and brass nut along with gold string trees.
