'Love the fearless, dive right in, nothing is too precious attitude - Quickly becoming one of my favorite YT channels.
Hey, love the channel and your no nonsense approach to your work! But I would like to make a suggestion for your next wood repair. . . when gluing wood together you must glue the pieces with the grain running in the same direction ( wood expands and contracts at different rates especially end grain ) and if you don't have a choice you must put some type of dowel or pin to help keep it from separating! Think of a table top that has breadboard ends, they were never surface glued they just put glue on the pins or dowels and let the joint "float" so not to split the wood. Been making furniture for 20+ years and am happy to share some knowledge with a fine craftsman such as yourself!
You're 100% correct! Don't Ever change the grain orientation! Besides that, I love the headstock shape! It's not a Telecaster, it's a Bullfighter... and it's pretty cool!
It uses 2 2035 disc batteries for the piezo preamp.
5 STARS on that repair. It shows the right tools and skill and you have a KILLER AXE!! I really liked how it looked with the reshaped headstock!
Very impressed with your skills and confidence. I don't know of another channel that wouldn't send it back.. Well done!
Thank you very much!
You’re KILLING IT with these budget-axe Amazon reviews! Great content and a genuinely appreciated public service to the guitar community; you’ve simultaneously helped me spend and save my money; please don’t stop!
That really sounds great for live country rock… or any acoustic sound you want amplified… I’m sold !!!! Thanks for showing it to us !!!!
That was such a Badass Headstock repair, Great Job as usual.
Great repair job on that Fender
I bought one a year ago. Replaced the tuning pegs, replaced the nut and saddle with bone ones. The tuning pegs came from the factory broken. After the tuning pegs got replaced, it hardly ever goes out of tune.
What is your thoughts on doing repairs like on this headstock by just drilling a hole and gluing a dowel to reinforce that crack?
You could do live videos of Cathy making pickups. No talking. Just making. No more than 30 minutes.
That is the best sounding acoustic/electric, It chimes like a 12 string if you were singing. You’d be a baritone like I am. Damn that sounds good 👍
This is one of the reasons I like watching this so much -you think outside the box!
Sean,that's impressive dude,that thing sounds AMAZING!
My compliments to your skills and craftsmanship. I do not have the skills and equipment. I have been lucky with a cross pin and CA glue, hiding the hole with black nail polish.
You are a very good wood worker... I've learned some things from watching this channel... thanks for making the videos! 🎸☝️👍
That was a fun watch! Thanks for posting.
It's gotta be said you probably have some of the best guitar content on all of TH-cam. Fantastic videos doing stuff that a lot of other channels don't do.
Thank you for this video. I’ve been looking for a thin acoustic guitar. I really like this one. I love your videos. They are so fun and informative.
Sean, you are a genius. Love this channel, Ill co-sign all of your opinions on guitars. Great repair. You make wild stuff seem doable. Thanks for the video.
That was one heck of an improvement! Well done!👍
Dear Sean! Yeh great guitar great sound and a great repair. I to think that one sounds great it was good how you fixed it. hay I got a cheap guitar recently. it was terrible. however because see things you do on your channel I. replaced the bridge for a better one and use your techniques in doing my first level recrown. thanks to you I am pleased to say I was very happy with the results. I eliminated the string a bridge rattles and the guitar sounds much better and has a nicer feel. during all that the guitar got a nice dig scare on the on the lower end of the body. I figured it was just ment to be. So now I have my very own scared guitar and I'm really pleased. thanks Sean I have learnd alot. God bless you. Take care from your pal Helcat in Australia.
Sean, still diggin' all your videos bro! Thank you & the Mrs. for doing these comparisons
for us all to learn from. And a special thank you for reinstating my faith in Mitchell guitars!
Great job on the Dean Guitar for the Bald Shredder! Love your channel! Glad u fixed her
That's what I can a True quality repair! I have always wanted a electric guitar to sound like a aucoustic, without using effects, it seams to be a useful tool! A full filing protect!
You were killing me doing all that work when you could have sent it back but then you have all that great equipment and knowhow so i appreciate the demo of taking the mod a little further than usual and doing a great job
Sean awesome guitar and the remodel of the headstock on point Bro.
Wow I can't believe how you fixed that headstock! Awesome. Funny that they put that spring cavity cover on the back.
Sean, nice repair, you are a master of your craft👍
I believe the little box like thing in the control cavity is a battery box.
Fascinating to watch, you are definitely an old school craftsman, that guitar Sounds awesome 👍
Man that is awesome!! Love the Walnut too
I love watching your channel man that's all I do all days work on guitars and build new ones sometimes I actually get to play one
Great job! It certainly looks better with the changes you made to it
Hell yeah, jumped right in. Great job
That guitar sounds remarkable! I have several acoustics with piezo bridge pickups and they all sound metallic to my ears. Yours sounds warm like an acoustic should.
Beautiful Sounds coming out of that Acoustic electric guitar.
That's cool 😎. Good playing acoustic hard to find!!
Oh yeah, when you turned it up it really sang out love it
Love this one. Electrified acoustic I was surprised you didn't put a dowel in just for extra support
Hey brutha! That guitar had a beautiful tone to before you even plugged it in.... and with the amp it even sounded better. AWSOME. good job
Wow what a great looking and smooth sounding guitar. Awesome had no idea that you fix the head stop by gluing another price on it it. I thought you were going to drill a hole where the crack stopped so it wouldn’t crack any farther then spread the crack and put some glue in the crack then put a clamp on it to dry. Then plug the tiny hole that was drilled. 😊 nice work Sean. Love your guys channel. So thanks for your hard work.
Damn good job on the headstock and that thing sounds awesome.
Great repair job on the headstock. Cool guitar
You are one of the few youtube getfddle personality's that have good down home abilities and experience. (btw we share southern heritage) Personally I would have gotten some injectable glue and filled the gap and clamped it.
Great job fixing this one Sean, me ,I dont have the patience to do all that work, neither do I have the machinery that you have.....Cheers Mate, Roger over and out !!!!!
Good Job on fixing that Dean guitar. I HAVE Deans Acoustic guitar , that looks like exotic wood
Outstanding work! I agree, I do hate that headstock shape too, the monoprice guitars have them as well.
I almost pulled the trigger on one of these yesterday, but read bad reviews about the bridge coming off. I bought a Firefly double cut resonator with a pickup in it for $189 instead.
Awesome fix and video I think Amazon sells those as a nylon string guitar.
That was some bold thinking and action on your part and the tele design fit the headstock far better.
Mad skills Brother so glad I stumbled across your page
I love that mahogany and the electronics are top drawer! Bill Ballinger.
That looks like a preamp maybe, with cr2032 batteries
I got the nylon string version $180 on tha zon, super love this China job actually great quality.
This is so interesting! I was just thinking about getting a Tele kit and using an acoustic bridge and pickup in it. Somebody beat me to it!
Nicely done Amigo
Cool sound
😎
I like the look and the sound of this guitar - I can't find it on their website.
Very nice work brother
I just rec’d the version that has a HBer in the neck plus delay/reverb and chorus built in. I’ll mod the neck. Right now I’m considering taking out the effects and go with V/T for each pickup. I may need a preamp with the piezo. Overall, it’s a solid build for $200!! No dead frets, etc. Need to sand saddle down 1mm to lower action.
nice one bro!
now for that SMG decal for the headstock since you left your mark on it!
That sounds better than most full sized electric acoustic guitars to me. I mean really Dreads and Jumbos with an active circuit that thing sounds incredible through the amp or app.
All we were missing were some lyrics. I used to do studio work when I was younger, and my old 12 string was my friend , I haven’t sung a word since. That riff you played had my granddaughter making up lyrics. That is no kidding.
dooood, HELLS yeah!! You fix guitars like IIIII fix guitars!!! Its good to see another guitar McGuyver out there lol
Great job man! God bless!
Not how I would have exactly repaired it but worthwhile watching how you did do it.
Connect the guitar to an acoustic preamp with IRs and you won’t know it’s a shallow-bodied in a blind test. Acoustic IRs make a huge difference. I’ve had great results.
Ive concentrated on automotive tools & im just in the last year started aquiring luthier tools. I dont have much in the way of wood tools/power tools. I ordered the very last Bullfighter LP in red. I surely hope it does not show up broken!
I saw this guitar show up after the Tim Henson TOD10N became a thing. With the popularity of that Tim Henson guitar (and the other similar nylon guitar from Ibanez that costs less - the FR-whatever, lol), I’m surprised we aren’t seeing more of these inexpensive nylon acoustics that are designed with electric players in mind. This guitar looks cool - it’s the same idea, but not meant to look like an obvious ripoff.
Nice find, Sean and Cathy - even though I saw it months ago, you are the first to make a video about it that I’ve seen. I like the modifications you made to the headstock so it doesn’t have that G-d awful beak! Sounds great! Since this has a cavity routed anyway that’s not being used, have you thought of adding an electric humbucker so you have that in addition to the Piezo?
That was a smooth sounding guitar.
That repair was pretty damn cool man. Sounds great. I bet that's a piezo preamp for acoustics maybe has a tone and output control ? I'd find a way if it does to cut a little spot out in the body like a volume to control it on the guitar. Hahah unless it's just a little battery pack. Idk???
Preamp is my guess too. Similar size/shape to stuff I've seen in active basses I think.
Great job, Sean
If you like light acoustic strings, "S.i.t. strings" makes a set of 9-46 phosphor bronze strings and they feel just like playing an electric guitar
Glarry never came with a broken neck some time a little crooked but always one piece!! Love you all and have a blessed day!!!
I got a Glarry with a giant router gouge in the neck they filled with saw dust and glue. Glarry is hit or miss trash. Consistent is what we want. Blessed day to you too!
I used to live in Orlando to. Have you ever gone the free pass casino cruise ship? The wife and I did while she was alive, some time the ocean was was ruff and some people got sea sick on the 3 hours it was out. So imagine 1 to maybe have 2 weeks to get to America. Harley benton squire,epiphone glarry, prs se all really lucky any survived
@@robertlathan4639 We vacation every year in Fort Walton or Navarre. We love that white sand!
Pots come in a lot of different values. 250K and 500K are the most common in guitars, but amps (can) use a much wider array of them.
Would enjoy hearing about your gigging days. Did you gig in central florida?
You always have that go get her attitude. Which has made you successful and happy. I like watching you. I'd like to go get a beer with you. You're my kind of guy. And on top of it, you play guitar and you fix them and you make them. Something I aspire to Sean. Rusty Norton
That's now the guitar I didn't know I needed... until now. Now, if I could only get that custom headstock on it...
You got skill! Great job!
...and an awesome workshop fitted out with expensive tools I can only dream about purchasing . Cheers from Australia . 👍
Which is the other thing that came to mind. He's got tools and knows how to to use 'em!
I can't believe he fixed the neck in tele style😂😂😂
Nice repair, I think the wood you used was nicer than the guitar's. Sounds pretty good for the price, too.
😺👍
I got the steel string one...love it, gonna order the nylon one tomorrow
Oh... mine came in in mint condition... will need a setup, but sounds awesome
The action is a little high, so i'm gonna shim the neck on mine, then intonate
I have the same guitar. I absolutely love it! I did change the batteries to a single 9 V so I didn’t have to replace with those coin batteries. Seems to last a lot longer.
Make us a video on this replacement!
@@bassdale17 I can take a couple pics of what it is now but I threw the other batteries and the plastic housing out a long time ago. Pretty basic though. Two wires and done.
I can dig the concept but ultimately for it to be an "acoustic" whether hybrid electric or whatever it should have acoustic resonance chambers and maybe a set of thinline tele-style F-holes to increase the acoustic characteristics.
I love tele styled guitars and this offering is no exception especially given the tonewood selected to make it. I would probably take this guitar and build upon it to make it more like a semi-hollow body with a center block and then put a thin veneer top over it to finish it off giving it a proper acoustic/electric capability.
Great job! Sounds great! Yeah I would have sent it back. .ya gotta wonder how that could have slipped past final QC....maybe Wang Chung dropped it on the peghead then shoved it into the shipping box before Boss man could find out and dock his pay and smack him!!
I would like the Dean guitar that you fixed for the Bald Shredder. 👍
7:40 Needed a biscuit cutter, and a biscuit glued in for added benefit and strength
(But thats my opinion and suggestion.)
Interesting concept. I wonder if it would accept a regular Telecaster neck in that pocket?
cool find. sounds killer. I want one.
Battery pack in the back looks like the flat watch style batteries
Nice repair. Just a question, wouldn't it be more stable and secure had you used a biscuit joiner and installed a biscuits prior to gluing? You're the expert not me. Just thought I'd ask.
How much does this guitar weigh?
And how does the neck feel?
Sharp fret ends?
Great job on the headstock repair.
As always, thanks for sharing.
Well that was a bummer the headstock was cracked but it worked out good, I like the new mod to a tele. It sounds really good, even unplugged, and yeah the fin had to go 👍👍
Thanks for sharing. They call it an acoustic guitar but it's no more that than a Telecaster. This would be easy to make don't you think?
I'd rock that!! Nice guitar
The Amazon link is to a nylon string model. I'm going to look for one of these. cool
Any idea about swapping that piezo pickup out for a better quality?
Impressive sound
Love the sound❤
You found a Keeper, Bravo!
