    Great video Landon! I bought a new Squier strat for $130 from GC a few years back. It was a two tone black tobacco burst with black logo, hardware and black pickguard. HSS configuration with a satin neck. I picked it because it had an immaculate finish, wonderful wood pattern and I thought it was beautiful. I polished the frets, dressed the fret ends, put in a leftover loaded black American strat pickguard with American strat pickups that I had. Added new string trees and lubricated the bridge and nut. It now plays and sounds better and smoother than my stock $2000 Fender Elite strat, my American Pro strat or my Ibanez AZ prestige (and I love it just as much, if not more). It also holds tune very well. The neck is very stable. I have only needed to adjust the truss rod once, after it was shipped in a storage container from the U.S. to Australia and had spent a year in shipping and storage. The newer budget guitars can be amazing with a little TLC.

    Dude, I started building Warmoth Strats a few years ago, except I left the pickguard off and stripped it to the bare essentials.
    It’s an homage to our favorite pop punk songs from Green Day (and Weezer even though they’re not really “punk”)
    But they’ve become my favorite guitars over the last few years. $1200 US and waaaaaaay better specs than authentic fender strats. I’ve played a few $4k strats recently and they’re amazing, incredible guitars with much more traditional build and specs, but you get so much more for your $ if you custom build your own using a reputable company like Warmoth to build the neck and body.
    It’s like putting legos together, and I’ve gotten pretty good at soldering.
    It should sound about as good as any other Tom DeLong strat with an invader.
    Mine just have single Seymour Duncan HBs with a single volume knob and coil split for some versatility, but otherwise just like this. I have mine on my channel if you wanna check them out.
    Props to you, that thing is beautiful and this was a sweet video. These are for guys like us who just love a great 2.5 minute pop punk song 😂🎉

      Nope! This is a common misconception that has been debunked. The rumor was that Fender used neck pickups in the production model because they erroneously said that in the specs sheet it was a Seymour Duncan sh-8n, which is the neck model. Tom’s old guitar tech confirmed Tom always used a invader bridge and not the neck. The production models actually had bridge pickups too

    Landon what are your thoughts on that style of top loader bridge? How difficult is to restring vs a string-tru?

    • @landonbailey
      @landonbailey  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It was really tough to restring. I would avoid one in the future

    I’m feeling’ this . . . Tom Delonge Barbie Strat by Landon Bailey! (Blink reference required of course!) This is a great one to build.
    It would have been so punk if they had also released a Squier Tom Delonge artist model for all the people who are making their own partscasters out of Squiers. Fender would make a crap ton - maybe they will reconsider?

    Great video. Someone can always block the tremlo or try adding all five springs real tight if they can't get a hard tail.

  • @bingerbennison9729
    @bingerbennison9729 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Good stuff. I figure a Squier Sonic Stratocaster HT H would also suit well the build, with even less stuff to do and an even barbier pink (though a bit thicker? and with a maple fretboard).

  • @pierrepierre8920

    I’ve modded a lot of hard tail Squier strats and the wider bridge is a pain because you can’t fit any pickguard without sanding. Or buy another bridge. 😢

    I have a question but I feel guilty to ask now. After my Father passed away my mother told me I had his feet (the only thing I inherited). Now the left one is showing serious signs of wear so I thought I'd upgrade them both. Could you do a video on how you would go about it. I could send you a picture of my ingrown toenail if it helps. Nice work Landon!!

    In my country this colour is called Rosa. Little kids also call it "Schweinchenfarben" what means something like "piggy colour". We have "Pink" too but it is another colour. What we call pink is what you would call "neon pink" i think 🤔 Interesting that you use "pink" for both colours in english 🤔

    Call me strange,,but I have always been a fan of the top loader bridge for non trem strat/tele bridge but have
    Always had a hard time finding a good quality one with some weight and girth to it. Like that one on that one.

    I like the recently released Tom delonge strat just the price for a Mexican made fender on this occasion is ridiculous. My sea foam green strat arrives today. And parts over next few days. Only difference is will shield the cavaties on mine as will be cranking it at gig level..Decided would just make my own.. so this has been a good and useful video from the across the pond. Thanks from the UK..

    I just finished a similar project. Got the new Squier Sonic Series Hardtail Stratocaster for 199€, bought a used Fender MEX roasted maple replacement neck for 220€ along with used Fender locking tuners for 55€. The bridge saddles got upgraded with graphtech tusq for 80€ and finally the good old invader pickup with the treble bleed mod together for 150€.
    In conclusion that's 704€ approx. 1040 CAD or 774 USD. All together for an instrument that to me is far superior to the new ltd signature model. And i really like the combination of the california blue body together with the roasted maple neck.

    On an unrelated question I'm hoping you can help me because I just don't get it. After watching your video I decided I'm going to build one. I ordered all the parts and I ordered a CTS 500k pot. This is where it gets weird I received a CTS 1MA pot. Maybe you can help me and tell me what the hell is a 1MA pot I have no clue. So I called the company up and they're sending me a new pot but what is it ? I'm hoping you can answer this for me.
