      For me this Is so true! Call me crazy, i would never change my
      partscaster for a custom shop either. Why? Because I LOVE IT SOOO MUTCH! As i would never change my wife with any top model worldwide. Because i love her!

    As a tradesman across multiple disciplines, i appreciate all the pro tips. It takes years to learn all these types of techniques without a pro sharing what they learned the hard way. Even in my apprenticeships, i rarely had journeymen so willing to help a newb make professional choices

    A friend of mine taught a soldering course for the USAF. I took his class, and one major takeaway, briefly addressed in this video during the jack plate install, is to ALWAYS crimp your wire for a solder joint. Make a good mechanical connection, then flux and solder as per normal. The likelihood of a cold solder joint (not shiney when cooled) goes down considerably, and it will help you manage gilding everything together while soldering....as often we wish for a 3rd hand. Also, tinning your wire and the connection point gelp make professional results. Merely flux and put a dab of solder on each connection before you connect them

    Start to finish. No dull moments. Even though the actual wiring for the pick ups selection were not shown (trade secret), one can get the feel of how it is to do wiring on a guitar.
    It is very satisfying. Once the guitar was plugged in and works, so precious.

    StewMac produced videos are so pleasing to watch. First I thought it was the way Dan Erlewine spoke. But I noticed that all the people who appear in StewMac videos have this very pleasing to the ear way of speaking. So props to the Dans and also to the producers, especially the editor. You make the best videos, and I really enjoyed the music for the "Wiring the control plate" section.

    That was the most informative guitar build and set-up video I have ever watched. I have a frankencaster... looks like a 70's strat (with a drop-dead gorgeous 2 tone sunburst body and a very less than average maple neck with the big 70's headstock) but it has no identifying marks whatsoever. I've owned it for 36 years (actually it was my first guitar!). After gathering dust for a very long time I decided to have a go at making it into a nice guitar... electrical clean-up, neck relief, fret leveling and filing the sharp edges, action, intonation, and it's already way better than it ever was before. I can't swap the neck out for a nice new one sadly as the neck pocket on the body is non-standard. Nothing will fit apart from the one its got. So new pickups next... and maybe a refret and take the laquer off the fretboard while I'm at it. Now I've watched your video I may have another go at the neck relief and action... Thank you!

    There's so much good information I hadn't even considered in this video and so much I didn't know. I had 2 buillds turn into 3 and then 4 because I kept swapping out parts or didn't want nice hardware gathering dust, and didn't plan ahead. I finally decided to do a baritone offset tele, a early 60s strat, a strat modded to the gills and a more conventional tele (with specs to be determined).

  • @ronvigneri
    @ronvigneri ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great video post by Dan Petrzelka and StewMac. The only thing I would add is:
    1. Bundle all the parts and weigh the assemblage. That way if you can route under the pickguard area to reduce weight.
    2. Copper foil cover the routing (bottom and sides) and the underside of the pickguard. Make sure all the foil is electrically connected by leaving little tabs for contact and add a soldered copper ground wire connected to ground. This assures hum cancellation.

    Excellent video! You inspired me to build my own Tele! 🤗
    I am filling my shopping cart @ Stew Mac while I watch this video.
    Yes, a 3-saddle bridge is more challenging to intonate than a modern 6-saddle.
    But, the three-saddle design allows the "partner string" on the shared saddle to resonate when the other string on that saddle is plucked. This contributes to that "Tele-twang" we all know and love! 🤗

    I love to build my own partscasters because the guitar has everything that I want and dont want. When installing the string ferrels I use a small rubber mallot,that way no damage to the ferrel the finish or the body occurs. My partscasters are my favorite guitars by far,they have that special feel that cannot be obtained by buying a "shelf guitar". Great video👍

    Stewmac for president(s)!! Just love these videos! I have started to build my first guitar, a telecaster, and went in here to get more education and information about different things. Now I can finish my guitar with confidence. SNUG is my new word to use when I build guitars from now on! THANKS as always!

    Only side note I'd toss in there, which someone else may already have said, is to test your pickups and connections before setting all the screws. By plugging in the guitar and lightly tapping on the pickups. I've done a few mods and switched guts on a few guitars, it is a huge pain to have to unscrew the pickguard when you find something is not right after having put it all back together! This video was awesome and perfect timing as I have been thinking on building a partcaster.... Thanks for showing how it's done!

      What sucks more is when it works before you screw it all in and then it doesn't work once you get that last screw installed 🤣
      It happened on my Tele. I guess the switch cavity was too shallow for the 4 way switch I installed. If I backed the top switch plate screw out by 1 turn, it worked fine 🤣👍
      I bought a router base for my Dremel so I could route the cavity deeper for the switch but I never did. That screw is still 1 turn loose lol
