I recently was gifted an chibson exploder and it needed work. I recommend you replace ALL the hardware, pot, switch, output jack and pup. The materials used wont let you get a good ground. Replace it all and with a good ground wire and you'll be good to go. Remember to prewire it all from the outside and pass it thru the pickup route. Enjoy!
@@b_ry_ce luckily no dead frets, they were all good. I did end up replacing the tuners, bridge and studs, tailpiece and studs, new pickups, new pots, new jack, new 3 way and new grounding wire. The only thing that stayed were the knobs and pickup rings. The parts looks very good but had no continuity on my multimeter. Replaced with musiclily hardware, everything i already had.
"There's no access to the inside. You can change parts through the F-hole, but I don't recommend it". Everyone manufacturer and players of hollow bodies do, because that's how it's fuckin' supposed to be!
Its different! Still a new guitar day for you, Congrats Sir. What is going on with the fretboard of the new one (some of the fingerboard looks semi-gloss while other parts don't reflect)?

Thanks! Did you have dead frets on yours? What did you do about that?

Ya I guess so. Dead frets are
Bumming me out. I'm not sure what's going on with the frets but I think they need to come out
Also , they are very very good guitars .
These guitars suck ass
琴弦都沒調準 測試個雞毛

This guitar sucks haha
@@b_ry_ce yes, but I thoroughly enjoyed the video! Those are real artist models? Thats crazy.
@@bassplayer10 these are knockoffs of the artist models. Made from Chinese newspaper and plywood.
Really out of tune.
Yes these were pretty much impossible to tune
prefer the 335 myself plus i can't stand blink 182.
Blink 182 sucks
i guess they will wipe away their tears with the money for their sold out arena shows the last 2 years straight and platinum album 😅
