I'm SO glad we could finally see a guitar start to finish in a single episode, I really hope the rest will be like this too, it's so satisfying.
Totally agree. Awesome stuff.
James Hetfield is the reason I like Explorer shaped guitars, and also the EMG 60 into a clean chorus
Me too. I have 2 ltd explorer guitars from 1998.
Makes a guitar from the St Anger era
Plays Enter Sandman on it 😂😂😂
Should be playing Frantic on it
@@FlyingV555 well, I agree.
Why would anyone play St Anger songs? 🤢
@@MobileDecay overhated
@@scaremoth334 St anger is horrible.
That tone at the end was freaking killer man. Mission success.
Only problem with this is having to open the pick guard everytime you want to change the battery.
It's not that different from talking off the backplate really but true.
@@launches.loops.and.lapbars Most guitars, with active pickups, today have a dedicated battery box.
@@BeardedDanishViking I know but it just doesn't seem that much of a hassle to me.
It's definitely not an on-stage, mid gig operation!
I agree wish the back plate had more room.
Kicked off season 2 with a bang! Awesome episode, love the changes, and amazing build 🤘🤘🤘
I cannot believe you give these things away. Wow. I'm seriously considering joining your patreon dude. Love this fucking channel
The Man is Back👍Hell yea!!!Been waiting for season 2!!!🤘
Thursdays are awesome again and that rusty tribute guitar is sick, stay safe and stay awesome, really looking forward to next week, much love and respect to you guys!
Good to see the new season in full swing 💪 I like seeing a whole guitar in one episode.
I’m pumped this came out!! You made my weekend
Wow this turned out amazing man. Good job
You and your channel inspired me to build some guitars that I've been putting off for a while. I'm about to try some of your paint techniques on a flying v bass that I just put together, next up I'll finish the strat I built for punk/metal, then my dream explorer.
great job buddy thanks for the work
Wow, incredible build! I have an Epiphone goth explorer with emgs and this makes me want to give it a guitar guts makeover.
If only I had the cash.
Such a cool guitar! I'm so excited for this season
Playing along with the background songs while watching this
mark killer job see you on sunday and again great job
Fav album, wow, that’s tough. Either Master of Puppets, or And Justice For All. Love that rust guitar, sic looking man.
looks amazing man! keep it up i love the content
that rusty gibson was awesome. when papahet played usty, the chugg sound in the st anger rehearsal DVD (which is miles better than the actual CD) is powerful
I think this is your best build yet. Tho admittedly, I'm not really a "loud, flashy guitar" guy anyway. Very cool going understated. Double thumbs up!
This is literally what I want to do! Perfect timing
Beautiful work man💙🤘🏽
Magnificent work, Mr. Murray!
Simply badass mark
This was a great episode. Love the guitar. Mater Master Master of puppets!
wow Mark that’s a really cool James Hetfield inspired explorer can’t wait to see it tomorrow
I like the idea dude, instant subscribe!
Excellent!
Now that is a cool remake of this cool guitar!!! James is my favorite musician of all time!! I mostly love his Snakebytes and Explorers! Those are his best guitars and sound super killer for the inspiration of us Metallica fans!!!!! Nice job on that guitar restoration, bro! I love your style. Rock on, and be awesome!!!
Wow!! awesome job on this one man!
Season 2 is off to a great start! It was definitely worth the wait!
Love your channel 🎸🤘🤘
Really like these
A Gorgeous Explorer guitar!! 🤘🤘
My favourite album, not only by Metallica but whatsoever, is "...And Justice For All".
Wow def the coolest pick guard I’ve ever seen.
Very cool and professional
Great Build and awesome tone! I love the mat black, but I'd have to say the way that pick guard came out is my favorite part. I'm a metal rhythm guitarist and have Explorers and Vs. Metallica was the reason I started playing back in the early 90's. Personal favorite album is Ride The Lighting.
Yeah!
-James Hetfield
I prefer explorers without pickguard but that rusty pickguard looks fantastic!! My favourite album is ...And justice for all \m/
Great work!!
OH SHIT!!!!! This is awesome dude!!!! Great job!!!!
That white blood splattered Jackson V is a thing of beauty. 😍😍🥰🥰🥰😍😍
Old rusty! Super cool man
Love this!
I love St. Anger!! It's a hard listen but full of great riffs!!
Best guitar you have done by leaps and bounds this one is bad ass.
GREAT JOB !!! this explorer is FUCKING AMAZING !! 🤘🤘
damn good job on the guitar brotha
Guitar sounds nasty, my favorite metallica album is ride the lightning and master of puppets🤘🔥
Great build and video. Would have liked to see the truss rod done in rust as well.
Dang bro that thing came out awesome.
that pick-guard turned out great man !!!
I've got a Goth hanging on my wall, this vid just made me want to bring him back to life with a fresh look!!! And my Fav Metallica lp is hands down "Kill Em All" with "Ride the Lightning" in a close 2nd🤘🇺🇸🙏
Ride the lightning is probably my favourite and wow that is a beauty of a guitar
I made it to 7:50 before my inner carpenter was screaming.
Sanded over the Epiphone symbol... just breathe...
Cool guitars. Awesome give aways wow!
From what I remember rusty's pick guard is actually a really tarnished brass pickguard.
That's so awesome
The guitar is sick!
In the future if you need a rustlike finish, try Brownells gun parts. Before we blued firearms, we browned them, wich is essentially rusting them in stages till you have a protective finish. I'm not familiar with the process, but Brownells sure is and they have anything you'd need to do it several times over for sale anytime. Just a thought..
LOVE THAT SHIRT!!!!
man rusty looks badass and i love the first 5 metallica albums
Yay new episodes!!!
Perfection and and justice for all and black album are my favorites but I like all of there music
Yeah! Show us some more Explorers!
Wow i need this guitar !!!!!
Rusty looks great! I'm about to build a white Hetfield inspired Explorer myself! I'm torn between Master of Puppets and Ride the Lightning as far as my favorite album of all time, I can't decide between the two. That said, I also love St Anger and Death Magnetic is way under rated. Also Garage Inc. has some killer tracks, especially on the 2nd disk. Greatest rock band ever. Great channel, keep up the good work.
Wish i could've gotten my guitar on the show but these guitars are amazing
Hey great video, is it possible to fill the cavity on this guitar under the pickguard and rewire it so it's like the 84 explorer or the ESP MX's?
The photo of hetfeild at 4:13 looks like me when I started growing my hair out
Am I the only one who wants to go off and buy a guitar and do it up like this every time after watching one of these videos? 🤔🤣 Incredible work like always man! 👏🏻🤘🏻
No.
Makes me miss my Epi Goth Explorer
You should do more latching killswitches to SWITCH things up a bit. They're nice as a mute when changing guitars live. You could also do latching switches for coil taps or pick up switching. I'd be interested to see if you could wire up the momentary killswitch to jump between the neck and bridge pickup rapidly to see what that might sound like.
That was awesome!!! can you do the Dave Murray stratocaster?
Always been a dream of mine to make this:
PRS 8 string semi hollow body with an Ibanez Q series vibe
Sounds nice man. Chris Haskett of Rollins Band has a sig PRS 9 string, octave strings in E A D strings, so he can melody/solo on the plaun strings still. Neck/Headstock is a 12 string size, dowl plugged, redrilled and refinished. Worth a look for reference. Cheers man
I’ve always wanted the Def Leppard Phil’s guitar that black and white with the gold I’ve seen reps built but way to princely. I thought of doing a diy but I’m not that great on setting strings and wiring. And to find one to look like his with the black and white trim. The body. Is hard. ..I like the black album.
Hi @guitarguts, can you share the all the types and brand of hardware (tuning pegs, bridge, jackplate, etc) ?
Love this guitar!! I would like to build a JH tribute guitar someday!
Rusty came out great. I am impressed. If you look at my icon you will see my 84 Explorer I bought brand new. After 37 years and several paint jobs and pick up sets it still rips and has served me on gigs for 3 decades.
Master of Puppets is my favorite album. Leper Messiah my favorite song. Orion, their greatest instrumental. Damage Inc. is one of their best thrashers in their whole catalog. Disposable Heroes is the ultimate metal epic. Hetfield's unstoppable right hand, one of the key ingredients of the greatest metal album of them all.
Great job on the guitar, Rusty looks great. You are talented. Now I want an Explorer.
This guitar was probably the only good part of the St Anger era tbh haha
Fr though amazing job, looks sick!
Hi, I just have one question here. You replaced one of the original potentiometers with the input switch. On the JH set or this one, they provide you with 2 tonality potentiometers and 2 volume potentiometers. Which one have you kept ? I suppose it is the volume potentiometers based on high-end guitars already using this set, but asking anyway to be sure before buying.
Thanks a lot for the instructions by the way.
Theres a wax hot rodders use to maintain the rusty patina might be more effective than a clear on that surface?
Rusty looking good!
Cool videos man. Wish there was someone over here in the UK that would do them custom and left handed. Yours look so professionally made. Good job dude.
you and me both pal. I'm a lefty and in the UK too. The choice of lefty guitar is just awful. Schecter have been my only option and I love them but the single body shape kills me every time. I love LP's and Explorers but Schecter don't do any EXP and LP styles
@@MaliceOfRites yep I feel you man
I've been looking for an excuse to build a lefty, got commission spaces open for later this year currently if you're interested. Feel free to pop me an email if you'd like to throw ideas around 😉 (linked in latest video)
I ship to the UK 👌🏼
email me, I’ll ship to the UK and make you whatever you need 🤘🏼
Is it possible to fill in the channel where the wires run for the toggle switch? Make it solid, and no pick guard?
My fav metallica album gotta be ride the lighting
And justice for all best album!!!
This is INTENSE!!!!!!!!
Missed you bro 😭 welcome back! Beautiful build, favorite album is kill em all
Brother I had that same guitar I had 2 9volt batteries in the skinny narrow part leading up to where the toggle was with 81 85 emg's check the fit brother batteries fit in that narrow portion really well just FYI my man or anyone who wants to go active with there axes
Hey man I have a question regarding the emg pickups and the cavities on the rusty explorer. Do you think that it would be possible for me to fit in all the wiring for the emgs PLUS the battery into the small hole on the back of the explorer? I’m asking because I have an 84 explorer body so therefor it doesnt have a front cavity. So is it at all possible in anyway to fit everything for the emgs in the small hole in the back because I cant do any cutting into the body. Thank you!
I dont have a photo but i have fitted EMG’s to my Gothic Explorer. All the hardware fitted in the origional routing but its a tight fit!
I'm HUGE Cliff Burton fan and I started playing music because his bass playing inspired me when I was a kid. I was 5 when Kill em All released, I remember asking my mom if I could order it out of Columbia-House when I saw their picture they looked so cool and heavy metal lol. But my absolute favorite album is Garage days Re-Revisited. The songs they covered were so good! They made them their own. How many of you remember Columbia-House? You could order 15 cassettes for a penny but then they would get you on the back end pretty good lol. But you could come up with some good fake names and order the albums and have them sent to a friend's house and end up getting the albums for free. But kids that's dishonest.
I love this video. I love how you have Metallica’s songs in the background. I am a huge fan of Metallica.
my favorite metallica albums are master of puppets,and justice for all,death magnetic and hardwired to self destruct 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸🎶🎶
Amaaaazig 👍👍👍
I love that rusty explorer.
That’s really cool. Two things though, why not route out a battery box on the back. Every time you have to change the battery you have to take the pick guard off. Also you didn’t put a Epiphone logo back on the headstock.
Two things, why do all the extra work when there is already space you can use? And why does the epiphone logo on the headstock matter when the truss rod cover says it already?
Wow this channel is great
