    This thing sounds surprisingly good, and is incredibly fun to play!

      Darrell Braun Guitar I built my first guitar for a school project and it was awesome, it was my first electric and I play it all the time, it’s a strat kit from the fret wire

      Get rid of that gasket for the neck plate. They dampen the contact with the body. Otherwise, nice looking build.

    Great job!! I'm so impressed with the bog standard assembly results that you and Brad seem to get with Solo kits. Very, very impressive!

  • @baumfr

    Love ya, Darrell (and that bridge pickup), but I'm old (Level 60). So I won't be signing up for Instagram. Good luck to everyone else.

    Those P90's sound surprisingly nice for el cheapo's. Of course a tube amp works magic for most any guitar. Lol. She looks good DB. Good color choice.

    This has been a fun “adventure” watching it all come together. Excellent video Darrell. I have been following Solo for a short time and you have given me the courage to try a build of my own.

  • @johnnybaird2687
    @johnnybaird2687 5 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Very cool guitar! I love your videos! I’m a beginner and I’ve learned so much from watching your channel. Thanks and keep up the good work buddy!

  • @LargeNuts
    @LargeNuts 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Love your videos man! Just a lil tip from a guy who's been soldering for 15 years. Don't hold your iron on the contacts so long. Soon as your solder touches it should melt almost instantly, then just pull the iron off. It's very easy to burn up a pot or switch.

    • @acfiv1421
      @acfiv1421 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There is a special place in hell for the inventor of phillips head screws. I can understand using them 50-100 years ago, but we have so many screw heads available that won't strip as easy (square-head, hex-head etc), ESPECIALLY on something like a guitar or a computer case, which can reasonably be expected to be re-opened every once in a while). If I were to build a guitar, I would use square-head screws, and the customer would appreciate the attention to making maintenance/upgrades easy. OK, rant mode off... 🤬

    Man this series makes me smile. I loooove jazz masters. I’m actually working on my own jazz master project currently. I bought a squire jazzmaster and I’m going to completely mod it out. Pickups, tuning machines and bridge. Super excited. Love your vids man.

  • @rayschoch5882
    @rayschoch5882 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nicely done, Darrell! Very thorough walk-through, as usual, and I agree - it sounds pretty amazing for a kit guitar.

  • @howardanderson3061
    @howardanderson3061 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm loving everything you do on your channel...I am definitely getting the Jazzmaster kit and I'm going to build it with my son. I'm very impressed with Solo's parts, measurements and overall quality, everything really fits!
    Thanks for sharing this...And the Les Paul style guitar kit also looks awesome...

  • @74dartman13
    @74dartman13 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Spend a fraction compared to buying a name brand guitar, learn all kinds of new skills, add your free labor, and you've got something that looks and plays amazingly! Doesn't get a whole lot better than that. Super satisfying!👍😎🎸🎶

    I love this channel. I don't play, but my son does. He has two acoustic guitars, mandolins and ukulele. He wants an electric now so I have been exploring building one. He wants a Red Special, but I think I'll start with a Strat kit. Your channel has given me in information I need to get started.
    Thanks

  • @3cardmonty602
    @3cardmonty602 5 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I built the same kit. I did upgrade the Nut to a Tusq Nut because I kept getting a Sitar Sound even after some nut slot work on the original nut. I also upgraded the tuners because they’re kind of cheap. I did leave the stock pickups in. I like them, so hey - I kept them.

    • @brandonthompson8640
      @brandonthompson8640 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      i got the TUSQ too for the same high pitched ringing. even when im fretting the strings its still there and driving me crazy. just need to do it now haha. Player Series Strat is still great though.

    Great, now the Jazzmaster kit will also be sold out like the spalted maple kit you built a while back. I was just looking at that one earlier today. These series are so much fun to watch. I can't play a guitar at all but I love to build stuff.

  • @DBSG1976
    @DBSG1976 5 ปีที่แล้ว +27

    Great finale to this guitar build, the stain job looks incredible. These kits "seems" like an easier option than Warmoth...Surf Green Jazzmaster, perhaps?

    Very clear instructions! The guitar sounds a bit out of balance, but not too bad for stock components at that price level. Excited to hear the upgraded version.

  • @DennisMurphey
    @DennisMurphey 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    outstanding exercise I am psyched up to try one. wanted the Jag or Jazz look to match an old Murphy I saw in California. Needs a Gretsch neck though.

    Ive never been much of a jazzmaster fan, but the way you presented it makes me want it! Plus, knowing it was put together by the famous "Darrell Braun" makes it that much better. Hell, if i were to win it, I'd have you sign the headstock! I already follow you on instagram, gonna head over now and follow Solo =)

I built an acoustic from scratch a few years ago so I definitely have the confidence, Wow, 300 bucks! I showed my wife and she said now I know what to get you for your birthday!

  • @donald-parker
    @donald-parker 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice job! Guitar looks and sounds great. I'm quite impressed that the cheap trem seems to be staying in tune too. At about the 8:15 mark you are soldering the pickup grounds to the volume pot ground. This would have been a good spot to use some heat shrink tubing. You don't want that open ground floating around if there is any chance it could touch one of your pickup's hot wires. I've never been a big fan of tuneomatic bridges with solid metal saddles - especially with a trem. Another great upgrade option would have been to replace the bridge with one that has roller saddles. On the subject of strap buttons - if the holes were not pre-drilled, I would like to get some pointers on where to place them to eliminate neck dive. Thank for this - it has been an interesting journey!

  • @Thejayfrancis
    @Thejayfrancis 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Done and done! Fingers crossed! Love kit videos! Do another Warmoth build! It’d be cool to see one done with their own styles or maybe a mix and match of parts you find on ebay! Your builds are awesome bro!
