Here's the last vid, called "Making a solid body guitar"

Saw these on the Stewmac site so I checked youtube and there they are! 🤷 I was able to find somewhere that could convert them to video files to download. So I did that. That way, if they ever disappear from YouTube, I'll still have them. This isn't my channel. These aren't my vids. I'm just...

OK well scratch that. Looks like those vises are backordered at Woodcraft. I emailed them and asked them to cancel & refund my order because I'm going to pick one up on ebay, I think.

Finally paid off. Done! $70/month plus a decent initial payment and then paid it off 4 months early. Just ordered a vise like one Stewmac sells. They want $209 for it usually. Its a patternmakers vise. I found that Allparts sells it, also. Only ALLPARTS WANTS $599 FOR IT! 😮🤣 I just picked...

Thought I was going to have another issue with this amp already. It started popping and crackling and hissing, then the volume started dropping and it started making weird, electronic noises. I checked the tubes and 1 power tube was much brighter than the other. So I ordered a pair of 6L6GC's...

If you're ever wondering about the construction of something and it's currently still for sale by the company, such as a HRD 112 enclosure, you can check said company's website to confirm whatever it is you need to know. For instance, Fender lists what these are constructed from: 3/4" particle...

They released body cam footage from the cops finding them and their dogs. Some things are better left not shared with the public 🤦

It's done for now...until I decide I'm ready to sand it back and refinish it. I'm really enjoying playing it right now. This is seriously probably the best guitar I own now. It sounds killer. It's extremely light. And it plays incredibly well. I never expected this in a million years. It even...

OK this is getting confusing. They said the H-137 is the lower level with bolt on necks but here's one for $499 set up like a Les Paul Special with P90s and a set neck and contoured heel. https://deals.bandlab.com/mannys/products/heritage-guitars/8367752511641 Edit: aha. I didn't notice that...

Which factories are those? There's probably hundreds, if not thousands of guitar factories in China. You can go to any number of them and get essentially the same guitar. It's just a matter of who/where you want it made. Go look on www.made-in-china.com and www.Alibaba.com and places like those...

The lower range is understandable at the $195 entry price. At $699, the Plus line has no excuse. It uses Mahog and other better materials so I'd expect a set neck also.

I hope the Ascent+ gets a set neck. At $699, it better.

Nice guitars! Since Tech 21 stopped making amps, maybe that thing will be worth a few grand in a couple of years? 🤷 YA never know. It reminds me of the Monoprice Stage Right amps. The 15w tube combo/Laney Cub clone was $249-279 for the last 5-10 years and then in 1 single day, it went from...

Both 90s. Still playing the Sonic Blue Strat. Probably will be for a while. This thing is killer. I got the right cable out for it, too, @BGood 😆😉😁. I'm a firm believer in using these "quiet" cables that go quiet when you unplug. They also don't pop when you plug in. The 90* is a D'addario...

Because I didn't feel like getting another cable out.

*Warning! Novel ahead!* 😆 New pic. Got the jack plate replaced. That was a fiasco. The cable wouldn't go all the way in with it installed. So I took a Dremel with a sanding drum on it and sanded out an area inside the hole to make more room for the jack. Still waiting on the new mint green...

Nope, String Swing is wider. I reused one hole and just drilled another. Since the String Swing is wider than Hercules, the old Hercules hole is hidden behind the String Swing hanger. So I just used one old Hercules hole and drilled 1 new hole . After 3 months, I'm still not used to the String...

Brand new Sonic Blue S I finished painting and putting together today. It currently has Fender Custom Shop Texas Specials, 250k volume, a 500k No load tone pot and a normal 500k tone pot. Gotoh vintage-style 6 in line tuners. CRL 5 way switch. Flamed, 'roasted maple' neck with dark brown...

Wired the pickguard temporarily. It has a 250k volume, 1 500k No load and 1 500k standard tone pot. That's all I had in stock until the 250k's I ordered get here. Tone pots wired to middle and bridge. I need to install tuners, wire the jack and claw ground, and install the claw, bridge and...

Oh yeah. I had ordered a bridge and some different pickups for it previously. It was a Wilkinson 6 point trem with pop-in arm. WOV09 was the model. Turns out it's a 'Wilkinson M-Series' part, which isn't what I wanted. M-Series are from their Chinese plant. I was looking for Japan or wherever...
