Welcome to part 2! It doesn't matter if it's a high-dollar partscaster or a budget one; completing a new guitar build is absolutely the BEST! Enjoy the build and the tones :)
I have been a tele guy for years but the funny thing is as a teenager I thought they were the ugliest body shape ever now I’m in love with em and it seem that’s the case for a lot of ppl
I’ve honestly never that big a fan of single coil pick ups but when you hit that first chord on the bridge I sat in silence for a minute in sheer awe. This video with the solder-less electronics has definitely inspired my to do my own kit.
Call me crazy, but I think this would not only be good as a vintage Tele build, but also a pretty good like 90s early 2000s pop punk. Especially in that surf green colour
Exactly! Didn't they make it mandatory in 2020 that no guitar collection is complete without a surf green Tele and a pink Strat? I bought both in 20, I'm almost of of reasons with the wife " Why I need this guitar" 😆
@@davidkastin4240 Slight disagreement, Surf Green and Daphne Blue Strats, a Soloist, and a San Dimas. I want a Surf Green 70th Anniversary Esquire, but my wife has spoiled me in growing my guitar collection (including a Fender Custom Shop purchase), so I won't be getting any new guitars for quite a while. I will add Pink Strats are pretty cool looking.
Your content is wildly inspiring, positive, and exciting. And it makes me excited to play, learn, and maybe even build a guitar someday! Thanks for what you do. It's not easy to be in front of the camera, and you do it well. :)
Great budget build videos. I used to play years ago, but an injury stopped me for 30 years. I had been wanting to try playing again, so last summer when I saw the Glarry guitars, they were so cheap I bought one of their strat clones. If my old injuries were going to keep me from playing again I'd only be out 60 bucks so I couldn't lose. That went surprisingly well, both the playing and the guitar, but left me wanting for a better one. My injuries still limit me so I didn't want to invest Fender money in an instrument, but this has me inspired. I can literally build exactly the tele I want for a fraction of the money, and no soldering. The sound was amazing too. I am in the process of putting my parts list together right now. :-)
@@abcrx32j - Scroll all the way down and you'll find the comment of someone with bad experiences with solderless kits in terms of corrosion and who reckons solder is the way to go 😉
@Bogey I'd worry about the plugs becoming loose or coming out. Takes no time at all to just solder it in but some people just don' t like going it. I'd prefer to see a more robust kinda connection if you're wanting to go solderless
Darrell, love the channel. The mix of demos and builds is the best content on TH-cam. You inspired me to build my first guitar - a Solo Tele kit. It was a blast. I’ve always played S style guitars and it’s my first tele. I’m definitely a convert!
to an extent , an 800 epiphone will never be a 2k gibson but itll be pretty close and at that price point and quality you cant beat the higher end ephiphones
Have a Fender loaded pickguard and no guitar to put it into so after watching your video I went to Guitar Fetish and bought a XGP Strat body and neck along with all the pieces and parts I'd need, put it all together last night and did a setup this morning, good quality parts at a great price! Only issue I had was some overspray in the neck pocket, spent about a half hour cleaning it up and fitting the neck, other than that, it's great! Thanks for this episode! All the parts I bought cost less than the loaded pickguard!
I'd love this but just in the classic Tele yellow, and with the classic Tele pickguard and selector switch and knobs! The coil split, and humbuckers are incredible choices. I'm currently upgrading my Squier Jaguar to have humbuckers in the bridge/neck and going to go with a coil split as well, can't wait!
I was sure, Strats were the only guitars for me, 'till I got a Squier Thin Line semi acoustic. Well, I changed the bridge pu to a Di'Marzio and to fit the output, I gave it a Seymour Duncan neck pickup. The playability is awesome, and it's a beautiful instrument. Now I'm certain, I must have a solid Telecaster, and exactly this build made me sure, i'll build the same. Thanks a lot for sharing this. Cheers from Denmark.
Dude I loooooove your channel! I have learned so much about guitars and how they work from you. I’m a guitar newb but love learning to play but I also love knowing how stuff works. I have my cheap o Squier affinity that I learn on but also recently acquired an old Squier bullet Strat that has turned into a complete overhaul. And now I have ordered a Tele kit from one of your other videos. Thanks so much!!! Keep up the great work!!
You may already know this but a good solution for the enlarged hole for the tuning machine issue is to put cut a toothpick or dowel close to or smaller than the size of the hole and just shorter than the depth of the hole, put a little dab of glue on the end of the toothpick (not enough for it to squeeze out of the top), let it dry. If needed drill the hole again. This gives you hopefully a fresh start to try again and drill another hole that way you be sure your screw goes in straight and do not risk the hole being stripped out. Great sounding tele and the quick headphone jack type plug blew my mind!
The other way to do it: put baking soda in the hole halfway and put a couple drops of liquid super glue into it. Then repeat the step to fill the hole completely. Then re-drill.
It gets incredibly easier over time. The only part I hate is getting my setup out of my tool box. For the cost of one professional install you could buy the equipment necessary to do a hundred yourself. It's a no-brainer.
I loved this build. Very realistic for the average consumer. I would like to see another build video but using a Les Paul body style from Guitar Fetish and maybe show a video how you drilled the holes.
I used to buy alot of parts from guitarfetish, even a couple of their guitars. it was great back in the early 2010s when the canadian dollar was close to par. plus they were in mass. then so I would have it allshipped to a friends place in NH. really like their stuff for the price.nice build Darrell.
Tele Customs are underrated. Middle position, using the volume and tone at different mixes you can get tons of unique tones. Love the finished guitar, man!
I have used the Lil Puncher and could not get a clean Fender sound- always some distortion.Necks and bodies are a perfect fit but after building hundreds of guitars since 2004 I tend to want a real Telecaster clean sound. I also use CTS poots and a CRL switch which I solder.Nice looking guitar.
Holy crap, I had completely forgotten about Guitar Fetish... I just bought a beautiful and mint Jay Turser Tele copy for really cheap money, will check them out for any upgrades I will decide on doing! Thx!
I priced out a similar build, not bad for the money. The up in quality from cheap kits and ease of assembly (minus the drilling) is a great way to go. I was totally impressed to do this for myself. I don't have a Tele or P90 guitar, so guess what I'ma going to build. Thanks for videos, keep up the good work.
Nice build, Darrell. Think you got a little lucky though. I've been thinking about doing Guitar Fetish build myself. Found a bunch of channels that went over their builds in detail and a fair amount of them had issues with parts not fitting or aligning properly. For all those who what to try a Guitar Fetish build themselves, please look at a few more channels. You may be in for more than you bargain for.
Not sure if I love you or hate you... not only did they have what I wanted but that system will allow me to do some weird coil split configurations... this is huge for me, I am recovering from cancer treatment and my brain gets fried sometimes... wiring looks foreign to me... this helps!!
The Tele with the single coil in the bridge and the hummer in the neck is my favorite design. The first person that I saw customize his Tele like this was Steve Howe of YES. Whilst in The Police, Andy Summers played a Tele with the same pickup configuration, that was customized by his guitar teacher. I bought a brand new "American Fender Telecaster H/S in the 1990s in a gorgeous "Chrome Red" paint job. It also had a single coil in the bridge for the traditional Telecaster, 'ICEPICK THRU THE FOREHEAD1" tone and a humbucker in the neck for a warm, Jazzy tone. The guitar also featured Fender's revolutionary, "-Way Switching." When I tried to replace the one that I had lost, I found that Fender had halted production of the model. Perhaps it was too cool for them///// Anyway, I'd love to do this build. Do you offer a "shopping list" with prices. Excellent presentation, as Always, my friend!
Great Job as always Darrell! been biding my time to build something soon, but Ontario went into lockdown I'm sure you know, so holding off till things go back to normal for now.
Darrell I've been thinking about doing a build for some time now and your videos on this guitar finally inspired me to do it. Just my luck they are sold out of all tele necks. The other problem is all of their tele bodies are beautiful, can't make up my mind.
Thanks Darrell your videos are always good and informative. I wish you went threw some clean tones to really hear what that beautiful guitar sounds like . To me it’s the most important. If it sounds good clean it’s gonna great dirty. Thanks again. Beautiful guitar!
Thanks for another great video, Darrell. I was very close to ordering a my first kit but was confused about hardware and pickups. This cleared up a lot of my questions and choices. Thanks again. Enjoy all of your content.
It turned out great! Beautiful and sounds rockin'! I was looking at those bodies, same color. Just finished a parts build a couple three months ago, love the surf green!
I've bought a few things from GFS. Jimi pickups (awesome btw). Their Kwik-plug system is very nice. Good company to deal with. I might have to try one of their kits now. The other kit I built was from solo..... ehhhhh, some problems with it. Thanks for the review Darrell.
Guitarfetish pickups are definitely worth checking out. I've bought a vintage single coil tele set and some PAF style humbuckers that both sounded fantastic. The vintage tele pickups actually came with cloth covered wire! Their higher end XPG bodies and necks are quite good, but their budget stuff will require more finishing work on the nut and frets.
I bought the same pickups for my tele build. I find my lil' puncher to be excessively bright. rolled the tone way back, and it still doesn't sound great. Did you have the same findings? what if anything did you do to get the tone you have out of it. Maybe I got a bad one, but if you have some tips, i'm all ears. I love the neck pickup! I just can't get the two to sound good together.
after this, you should build the exact same style of guitar, but use the highest end parts you can buy, then the next vid after that can be a shootout between the high end and budget. That would be awesome!!
Welcome to part 2!
It doesn't matter if it's a high-dollar partscaster or a budget one; completing a new guitar build is absolutely the BEST!

Can I get this build in left handed??
Very cool guitar! Just, you didn't demo the sounds of both pick-ups together!
You totally inspired me, part of my guitarfetish purchase is on the way, cheers from Montevideo.
Man you should do a Explorer build next time, it can be cool and very unique.
Hey Darrell, have you done a full, set neck kit build? I found the painting of the body to be the most rewarding part of the process.
Telecasters are way cooler than I originally thought.
I know, right? Fell in love with them the first I picked one up.
@@pedrobastos8132 - I used to believe I was a Strat guy - until I played a Tele Deluxe! 😀
Tele and LP are the only body styles I play on. Not sure why I'm not a fan of other styles....
I have been a tele guy for years but the funny thing is as a teenager I thought they were the ugliest body shape ever now I’m in love with em and it seem that’s the case for a lot of ppl
@Marv Gardens seems like it
Nice build....you are inspiring me do my 1st build. My wife has limited my guitar purchases to 4, so this maybe my loophole
I’ve honestly never that big a fan of single coil pick ups but when you hit that first chord on the bridge I sat in silence for a minute in sheer awe. This video with the solder-less electronics has definitely inspired my to do my own kit.
Well the bridge was a humbucker, not a single coil, it's a hot rail style
@@brendanstill6747 ....................yeah, that makes sense I guess
@@brendanstill6747 that's not a hotrail.

Hi crazy, I'm dad! Nice build DB
Sure, put then you need a full size humbucking Invader bridge pickup...
@@kitoyobeni1 or an SH-4!
It’s been scientifically proven that seafoam green is the greatest color. So classic and tasty.
This build makes me wanna make a cream white black pickguard Tele so bad
Those quick connects are awesome. They make the build, and potentially future pickup swaps, SO easy!
THIS is the ONE Darrell.
This is the one. bloody hell. Exactly the tone i wanted! Exactly!
Thank you , yep. Thanks very much!
Cheers from Portugal
You can never go wrong with a Surf Green Beauty!

Those knobs set the whole thing off, I want one just like it now!
I like that 72 custom delux style Tele . Turned out really nice .
My Squire is a 72 and after seeing this, I'm going to replace the guts of mine with parts from these folks Darrell used. Killer sound.
Looks and sounds great Darrell. I've often wondered how GF stuff sounds and the quality of their parts. Looks very promising, thanks
I AM having a fantastic day today. Thank you Darrell. Hope you are too haha

It's like a hybrid between classic tele and a SG. Love the range of tones
The headstock logo!! 😲 Forgot that bit, eh! But man, this tele looks beautiful.
It's here!! This is why I subscribed. You left me on a cliff in part one so here I am. I think I'll stay though, I've loved your videos a lot!
I can't believe those connect with an aux cable! That's crazy.
And *I* can't believe this hadn't been introduced much, much earlier!
Right? Looks like a great solderless idea. I wouldn't be surprised if someone came and said it changes the sound and say that solder is better

Awesome content Darrell!! I love the sound of the 'Lil puncher split, and as a Humbucker great tones for a cost effective pickup.

Bottom line is the only difference between that and a real one is the price. Dress the frets add a bone nut and it's off to the races.
@Mr Bones bruh it’s supposed to be budget it doesn’t sound bad stop complaining
@@juantovar5084 he isn't complaining, He is just stating that there are differences between a fender and this one

Hey DARRELL You Should Call it The Braun Tele Rocker Cool indeed Great Build
Tackling my first build, a short-scale p-bass, now. This may have to be next. That neck pick up with the tone rolled off is sweet!
The result is great! I loved the looks and I liked the sounds a lot! Definetely worth it!
Love that lick at 9:15 I’m definitely gonna have to learn that one! 🤘🏻

Very nice set up love it
Brilliant video. Great choices of parts.Well presented, Fantastic guitar... I want it, lol :-)
I'm a sucker for a surf green tele and this looks awesome. 😍
Is that just a two way switch? I noticed you didn't show the tone for the mixed pickups, just the splitting.
The "prep work" of measuring & drilling is what I wanted to see. Since it was done off camera, we can be pretty sure he didn't do it.
Holy crunch! That sounds awesome.
Dam, that’s sounds absolutely amazing!!!
He mentioned "part 1" of the build, in which he applied the shielding paint, pre-drilled holes for the pickguard, etc., but I can't find it anywhere.
"SOLI DEO GLORIA!"... nice! :)
I bought the same pickups for my tele build. I find my lil' puncher to be excessively bright. rolled the tone way back, and it still doesn't sound great. Did you have the same findings? what if anything did you do to get the tone you have out of it. Maybe I got a bad one, but if you have some tips, i'm all ears. I love the neck pickup!

Always start with clean tones.
