- It's no secret that I'm a big fan of the guitars coming from IYV. Over the past couple of years, I've checked out a bunch of their stuff. I'm always impressed with the quality and of course the affordable prices. This time I decided to order 3 custom guitar necks. Does the quality hold up? Let's find out. Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe.

That's a nice neck. IYV serves their customers well! Thanks for sharing this addition to your custom guitar! Rock on!
Sounds great. Not crazy about the concrete looking body, but like the mini humbucker pickups and the neck
Looks pretty pretty good. $91? What a bargain. American manufacturers are in real trouble. Us broke guys cant afford Fender unfortunately.
There's no reason to pay Fender or Gibson prices anymore.
No they're not in trouble . People that can afford and are actually buying them wont start buying cheaper quality guitars
They're not in trouble, owning multiple IYV customs myself, i can safely say American manufacturers can rest easy.
@@capaya8139do you like your IYV guitars tho? Do they play well? Feel good?
@@capaya8139 you're saying theyre garbo?
You should get them to build that exact guitar complete but perhaps with humbucker in bridge and leave the rail pickup in the neck, The Bald Shredder IYV Signature!!
I haven't done a custom order with them but I have two of their Amazon guitars (PRS style neck through and a single cut semi-hollow) and both were fantastic out of the box. If the attention to detail and QC on their custom orders are as good as it was for the warehouse guitars i have, this is a steal. IYV is a legitimate builder.
Killer guitar!1 And Killer riffage. It's like a mash-up of Reb Beach and EVH.
Looks badass , especially with the black neck and head. I'm color blind so I can't tell if the body is grey , silver or pink 😅 , the only color I can see clear is black. Probably why that's all I wear 👍🤘
With a few guitars in my lifetime and 2 I play with right now, you can make a guitar neck exactly how you want it to be as far as thickness if the neck is not a painted one or you will have to do more work repainting, or custom removing the paint to a bare neck as far down and up the back of the neck as possible (The way I like mine truly) .
Take a piece of sandpaper of about 100 grit. Not to hard and start playing with that sand paper in the cup of your hand for a while. Your hand will start find the spot you need your neck sanded down at. Just make sure to play the entire neck. Play until that neck feels comfortable, and then do the entire neck leveling it down and then really fine sand it smooth. I also sand with small files all the way upto the body sloping the neck to meet the body removing any block heel of the neck the most I can. This really lets you get your hands far up on the neck when playing. Most pro guitars are not going to have 5" of long square block heel on them.
But hey man, that's a nice looking guitar for so little money.
Damn - I LOOOVE watching your videos - - and THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing ! I like THIS guitar build better than Sunrise, cuz I like the way it was finished better and that black head stock really rocks ! I have been searching for reasonably priced good quality guitar build necks, bodies, Pickups etc.. and YOU , yes YOU are the MAN .... !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can I send you pics when I am finished with a couple DIY guitars ? Greetings from beautiful Switzerland. MIckey Mess
Yes of course!
agreed!
Sounds like a great company, thanks for the quality information.🎸
You bet!
@@thebaldshredder I was talking about it, but your channel just the other day. All of the cool guitars that he build. And you're right, We don't Gibson And Fender anymore. There are tons of companies now that make great doors. You get more features on them. And pay sometimes a third of the price.
i did order a custom lefty guitar from them. amazing. i requested a battery cavity in case i wanna change the pickups. but the pickus sounded amazing. thanks for sheding some light on them. for me it took like 40 days to get to my house from the day i paid
Love how you built a guitar inspired by Snake from Escape From New York. That's such a great movie!
I was looking at necks recently for a possible future build. The neck makes the guitar IMO, but I still found my custom searches relatively expensive to what I was considering. So these guys may be a serious option for me. Heck, if they do custom guitars, I might even let them make the whole thing. Like you said, the trick is getting down to all the details in the specs, so I'd better get started!
Amazing value. Amazing playing! Much respect!
that guitar sounds so sick...youre good too bro...
I ordered a guitar after watching your video on your custom guitar from IYV . I love it .
I p[an to order more guitars from them.
Please tell Me how!!
Watch at about 3:30 and you will soon hear how he can really play guitar... I heard Leslie West and the Allman Brothers when "'Ramblin' Man" was new...
My preference is for slim profile wide radius necks with a dark Rosewood or Ebony fretboard
jumbo frets are also a mustas are locking tuners.
The IYV neck has transformed the guitar, and at a great price.
For sure!
Yes, it looks way better. Nice playing. I have a Washburn X series That has a black headstock and shape like that.
Been waiting until I had time to watch this one, love the look of that thing, and if sounds freaking amazing!!
Dude, that was a shred-and-a-half! Awesome song. It's amazing that you could come up with a new shred every time. You rock!
Besides that, your guitar looks very good, better with the black headstock.
IYV is making me an awsome custom AI designed guitar for me tnx to your tip. The body looks already awesome with some bonestructure in it and its not ready yet. Hope to get it soon.
Good choice on the neck change. Rock on RJ
Your guitar looks great and even better sounds amazing.
Fingers crossed. I play lefty so there's not a lot of options for Rhoads V's that aren't ridiculous. If I can get it for similar cost to the Jackson entry level one with nicer wood in the color I want, that'd be sweet.
Wow! It does look better with that neck! It looks very expensive! Great job🤘
Thanks!
Paint a black racing stripe on that strat,that would look cool, guitar sounds really good.
Awesome job on the neck👍🏻👍🏻 it gives such a vibe🎸🎸
It looks even better.
Very cool. I have a Squire standard HSS guitar. I bought it a couple of years ago. Brand new, I don't know how it happened, but the pic card cracked. It's got h s s alnico5 Pick Ups . It has a compound Radius neck rick. That's really thin. And a 2 point Wilkerson trim. You're really my guitar. I'm just irritated becathe mirror pick card crack right away. And I'm not sure where to find one that fits it. Cause it's all stock and I don't want it.
Change
Change outdoor different types of a garden. Just wondered if you might know where to find one.
I really hope that IYV will offer roasted maple necks with the truss rod adjustment on the bottom like many other Asian guitar builders
Beautiful! I wish there are also here in my country, Philippines.
No way !! That's killer pricing for sure.😮😮😮❤
sweet guitar brother!
hotrail humbuckers by chance?
yaa IYV is one of my fave import guitar companies along with monoprice...i just ordered a 2nd indio os30 on sale...after additional discounts price was just under 101USD shipped!
Generic hotrails style.
@@thebaldshredder had a nice "fatter" sound...it got me haha!!
The headstocks on the two separate necks look very similar to Ibanez RG headstocks, great choice! 😎
If you look at a reverse Ibanez neck you'll see that the tip is opposite. Very similar looking.
That sounds like a several thousand dollar guitar to me....Wow!!!
Sweet guitar and even better playing!
Alright, alright, alright. I'll subscribe. Twist my arm, why doncha!
The bald shredder cares about the little guy that has to live on a budget.
Love all 4 of my IYV guitars,and so happy to know that you can order necks and hopefully other parts from them,did you happen to inquire about ordering pickups,it would be great to get some DNC wound pickups,beautiful strat now that it has an IYV neck.
Not sure about pickups. You could ask them.
I love my iyv srs. Man it sounds greatly
I think that neck does help u play better.if it feels good.nice chord compositions and melody
Love your enthusiasm
"SNAKE!!!!". Now that's a blast from the past. I saw "Escape..." when it first came out in theaters. Just wondering, have you ever priced necks with SS frets with IYV?
I didn't ask them for SS.
@@thebaldshredder Perhaps i shall ask Mr. Do then...
@@thebaldshredder I just emailed him. Perhaps you can get us all a group discount? 😃
Just reporting that I got an email reply from Mr. Do - "We can make stainless steel fret with round fret ends. We need your specs to quote the price." So good news!
great review,
i like that 80's tone
You should rename the Supersnake and call it "The Duke" or "A-#1". 🙂 Or just "Plisken".
How about Brain? 😄
@@thebaldshredder Or Cabby? You can paint the next guitar like a Checker cab.
Wow that guitar sound outstanding for $91 .
Fantastic playing
Dude excellent playing can you do a video on what you just played ? Thankyou
Nice guitar you have. The only minor is the to big dots but hey that's my taste ofcrs.
Hell Yeah!! and That... Looks... AWESOME!
I emailed them about a custom Jaguar guitar with a walnut or dark body today!
I let them know that I heard about it from this channel.
Curious to see what happens…
Awesome. Thanks dude. If for some reason you don't get a reply from them, let me know. Sometimes the emails don't get through.
@@thebaldshredder email communications are up! Love the positive energy of your channel.
**Tigers are better than dragons**
IYV are freaking killing it. Got the PDF for my custom order through the other week and I'm already so stoked, never got that when I ordered from Aliexpress.
Gotta wonder how you'd feel about the neck profile I ordered. A 17-19mm D based off the necks on my MIJ Jackson Rhoads and Kelly Star. I know we'll disagree on the Kelly Star shape and the floyd bridge, but somantics, right? XD
Actually my 2 recent Musikraft necks are like that so I'd probably love it!
Do you have instructional videos or books, your playing is awesome🤘
Definitely Hear Dokken Influence Sounds AWESOME.
Plays like butter! With hair on it! 2 is always better than one, I'd say!😊 Thanks Shredder 🤘 did I mention hair?😮😊
😁
I wrote that email adress down this time. I'm definetly gonna have to look into having them build me a custom super strat!
Beautiful Guitar 🎸
I want one!
Iyv are decent guitar's been hearing about them I would like to try one out
Do another over the top solo 2:50 on the Brief Encounter solo break please.
Black headstocks on shreddy guitars look great to me!
🤘
Any tips on getting a hold of them? Emailed on and haven’t heard back. I have a vintage restoration project that a custom neck would do wonders on. Thanks, love the vids.
Nice Axe there brother... I'll have to see if they can make me a flying star guitar almost like the one Akira Takasaki has...
I'm sure they can.
@@thebaldshredder that's what I'm looking for...one of my bucket list guitars
@@unk-tu-amunthelastpharaoh553 send them an email with a few pictures
@@thebaldshredder I'll have to get those things together pretty soon...Like yourself I build and modify guitars ..I would to get the router you use to carve out those designs..
Needed some barb wire on there somewhere ❤
😄
You mention in the video that these necks play about 90% as well as the music craft my question is what would you have to do bring it up the rest of the way what's the actual difference?
Actually it's more about the options. Musikraft and Warmoth offer a lot more options as far as different woods, pre-intalled nuts, finishes, fret sizes, etc. Although this does have extra jumbo frets, they're not quite as big as the 6100 size I can get from those other places. Very close, but not exactly the same. But make no mistake. These are fantastic necks at a fraction of the cost.
Guitar Looks and Sounds Killer 💯💥
Love the Snake Pliskin reference.
Do you know the backward angle on the headstock? I'd love to replace the necks on my Fender Duosonic and Squier Sonic Mustang with a backward bent and even reverse headstock so I can avoid using string trees.
Tone had a George Lynch vibe!
Sounds awesome!!!
Great looking axe.
How custom is custom? Is it always strat scale length and heel dimensions? Will they even do custom headstock shapes?
You can customize every aspect of it, headstock shape included.
2 words: (1) BAD and (2) ASS. 🔥I really want to get a neck from IYV after watching your vid, Bald Shredder. I'll be getting in touch with Mr. Do soon...
Hey Richard - HUGE Thank You for the info about IYV guitars and their custom services, I got in contact with Mr. Do, explained what features I wanted with all the detailed measurements, woods used, design style, etc... Ended up ordering a custom neck and body from IYV. Will build my dream custom 1980s Hair Metal Shred machine once I get them! Thank You again for all your help & pointing me in the right direction. You ROCK.
Thanks for the video. This is the 4th video of yours I've watched in the last couple of days, and the first where you started to really shred. The other videos were with guitars you stated were not set up for serious shredding, so you "kind of" shredded.
Something I was just wondering after reading several comments for this video, especially a comment from a guitar tech. For someone starting off that can't afford Fender or Gibson prices, and that is not a guitar tech, how much time and money will it take to get these necks fully ready to play?
IYV makes great stuff and these 3 necks that I got are pretty much ready to go. I just had to put the tuners on and drill the four holes for the bolts. Easy stuff.
@@thebaldshredder Thank you. I have never built guitars, so I couldn't answer those questions. I have seen that you are very familiar with doing what is necessary, from replacing the nut, to finishing the neck, to adjusting the bridge settings after turning it around.
@@marcd1981 all of that stuff seems really hard at first if you've never done it. The only thing you can do is to just start doing it. Get a super cheap guitar and start messing with it. That's what I did.
@@thebaldshredder I probably will eventually. I just started with Cigar Box Guitars, and there are many build videos, and even a course offering, for them. Thanks again, I'm enjoying your channel.
Hey Richard , what are the pickups in that guitar ?
They sound tight , hot , and articulate .
Thanks
Bridge: Donlis, Middle: cheap generic, Neck: Musiclily
A custom '80's Rand style guitar??? That would be amazing.
I am going for it...tell Metal Dude, I'm doin' the Dew!!!
Mr. Do is building me a replica of Vivian Campbells Whitesnake guitar for...prepare yourself so you do not have a heart attack...an Exact Rand Replica for ....$300
My Jaw is still dropping. I cannot believe the cost of such an instrument. What an Awesome company to deal with. When I get it, I will do a complete review of it.
Insane.
Does this guitar also have Donlis pickups? Sounds great. 👍
Headstocks need to contrast from the body color . What I didn’t like about Carvin’s is the always painted the headstock same color as the body and looks to cookie cutter and cheap looking.
Is the 7 String version a hundred and six dollars (15$ per string )
Yes... I mean no.
Just received my iyv straight from the factory. How long do you suggest i let it acclimate.
Thanks in advance
Depends on how cold it is where you are. 24 hours perhaps?
the market has much less american rock maple, it’s mostly canadian now. the 90s were full of rock maple affordability. the maple on maple boards aren’t as good these days
This has no hate in it, but is indeed a actual question, if 3 necks cost 91.00 but a cheap beginner ax is say around 100 to 250, and you get an entire ax to part out and work with why buy the custom necks? I mean besides the convenience, if you have the knowledge and tools why not just make a average beginning ax into a great gig ax for less than the big name makers? I mean unless the name is a must have, again no hate but I put the same amount of work into setting up and modding a Gibson or fender as I do for a cheap guitar. So I was curious to get some answers or opinions on this question, great video and thanks for the information, I do appreciate anything that can at times help me out, as everything I need to make a neck is not in my garage, but I have everything to mod a neck in my garage.
These are 100% custom necks which means I can specify every aspect like wood, fret size, profile and thin vs thick, nut width, not to mention any headstock shape I want. You buy a cheap guitar and you get the neck that comes on it. That's not a custom neck made to your specs. That's the reason.
@@thebaldshredder thanks, yeah I do know the difference, just want to throw it out there as sometimes you just want to work on one ax at a time and if just starting out there is alot to be said for kits and good cheaper ax's as opposed to flat out building one from paper to finish, I guess if you are starting out I would say go look at your buddy and a favorite channel of mine Scarred guitar, he turned me on to you, different channels but same goals I personally think.
I do really thank you for taking the time to explain it as I don't think anyone would really listen to a no body like me, but you have a great channel and explain things well, so again I thank you it seemed important to get the difference between modding and custom explained as they are similar but worlds apart.
Also I just respect your channel for my own reasons.
So again thank you for your time and understanding and knowing. There's more to you than what you're channel shows but you still come across as down to earth, and deserve to have more eyes on your channel.
So thank you 😊
Do you have any guitars that have divots in the frets from practicing? My fender squier is like this the right handed one. My left hand is like a vise grip so i would appreciate having titanium frets. On the left handed guitar there is some wear but not as much as my right hand doesnt fret as heavy.
Im a minimalist i tend to use things until they are crushed.
I had some teck metal picks that i wore thru picking right handed.
Ever ask IYV about a scalloped fingerboard?
No but you can ask them.
@@thebaldshredder Wanted to know about the quality of their scalloping. I've seen it done pretty badly.
@@thebaldshredder FYI Turns out they will do scalloping.
Oh what is the lead time running now?
Email them and ask
Killer. Are you still having to ship the frets to them?
No I never sent frets to IYV. That was a seller on AliExpress. IYV actually has jumbo frets.
@@thebaldshredder ah! That’s right. Sorry about that.
Oh... my slow brain... did you say "custom compound radius neck" '???????????? for under 200 $ ... no 91 $ .... Holly F***
I won't be able to sleep.... And then the Donlis pickups - What other DONLIS store parts have you tried and considered good quality - I ask cuz on their store they have a lot of stuff and it makes we wanna build MORE custom guitars... Any positive exprerience with Donlis Single Coils by any chance ? Do they Gilmour/DireStraits , glassy quack sound ??? Anybody ? BTW, the Donlis pickups I just received were these :: "Donlis DHN53 High outout 16K Alnico guitar humbucker pickup with nickel silver baseplate"
Only tried their pickups. The bridge pup in this guitar is also Donlis.
@@thebaldshredder --- The DH11 RAIL pickup - which one ? - - DH11 Silver-Nickel Base Plate (2 $ more expensive) or the standard (more brass color Base Plate) ?? I am curious whcih one you chose... I LOOVE the sound you got out of this 🙂
Don't remember the model number. It's been well over a year. I can tell you that it was an Alnico V. I'm sure I was looking for a high output pickup.
Hey dude I’m looking for a guitar what do you recommend?
IYV
SO WHERE DID YOU ORDER THEM AT. BECAUSE ON IYV'S WEBSITE I SEE NO OPTION TO ORDER JUST A NECK
So I guess you didn't watch the whole video
I love that these aren’t trying to be direct fakes rather they are IYV branded. That has always been a turn off is I was looking for the shapes but not wanting to buy a guitar that’s trying to be a fake. Very reminiscent of Hondos but to another level!
do they have a website
Hello, They are not answering Emails, I wanted to order guitar butt.....
Sometimes the emails don't get through for whatever reason. Send me an email and I will forward your info to Mr. Do. Then he'll email you.
@@thebaldshredder I have mailed to you , Thanks for trying to help
WD will charge you close to $200 for a well made but unfinished 22 fret, and NO tuners!
they do scalloped?
yes
Snake Pliskin, I heard you were dead!
😆
Black headstocks always look better except on fenders Matching color headstocks look awful to me A true super strat should have a black headstock Jackson ruined the soloist when they started matching their headstock colors with the bodies
Purchase link to the guitar? Thanks.
This guitar is not for sale.
@@thebaldshredder well, there's that.
But will he do as good of job on necks for us guys without a well know TH-cam channel like you have?
Only one way to find out.
I heard you were dead.
I get that a lot
