Remember the Player Strat body that I refinished? I mentioned I would build something, and I finally have enough parts. Ride along as I assemble and setup the guitar. This will be a one-episode project.
A few parts in the episode:
String Action Gauge/Ruler: amzn.to/4a1qCJf
Feeler Gauges: amzn.to/3R4CyBq
Pre-wired pickguard: amzn.to/3RqwX9D
F Neck Plate: amzn.to/3NdnOiu

Nice work! I like the Tuxedo look against the wood stain. Gives it a little more class. Can't beat the value of a MiM Strat. Thanks for taking the time to share it with us!

@hacksguitarhobby 8 месяцев назад

Right on!

Regarding "Tip and Ring" on a 1/4" jack.... That came from telephony. My Mom was a telephone operator. Later, much so, I was a telephone technician. I do love that Tip and Ring is still used to describe the points on a 1/4" jack.

@hacksguitarhobby 8 месяцев назад

Interesting. I hadn’t heard that, but it would make sense.

@sveablu 8 месяцев назад

@@hacksguitarhobby At least I think I got that right. Perhaps it was the 1/4" jack that came from telephony, not the names for its parts.

Love the 70's look! Would have been nice if the neck had black block inlays. Good job!

@hacksguitarhobby 8 месяцев назад

I saw that on an old P bass. Pretty cool look.

Really interesting and inspiring ! Thanks !

Thank you!

@Chimp_No_1 8 месяцев назад

Would appreciate your thoughts . . . I like the iconic Strat shape but never use a tremolo. I don’t like the complexity of the tremolo preferring a hard tailed guitar. Is a Strat with the trem blocked effectively the same as a hard tailed guitar ? Will it be straightforward to replace strings and tune ? Regards Gordon

@hacksguitarhobby 8 месяцев назад

It’s close, yes, probably differing a little in sustain and weight. It will be just as easy to string and tune. A better option might be for you to simply find a hard tail Strat.

@lunamatic9775 8 месяцев назад

Do you use any kind of wax on the wood screws? Looks great, by the way!

@hacksguitarhobby 8 месяцев назад

No, never really been a wax guy. I should probably give it a try, though. I usually find that if you drill the right size pilot holes, you don’t need it.

@TheAmphibic 8 месяцев назад

great stuff, was slightly surprised by how 'hot' the pickups were ..... what was the temperature? ....(as DC goes up with temperature)

@hacksguitarhobby 8 месяцев назад

Literally? I think it was around 70 degrees F in the garage. :)

@TheAmphibic 8 месяцев назад

@@hacksguitarhobby i just looked up the specs and it seems your Player pickups are within spec. I.e. they are wound with a bit more wire than vintage typ Strat PU's which hover around the 6k mark. But great job with the finish! Did it make the body lighter? I'm kind of joking but i think there is a lot of paint on them. Oh, 70F shouldn't affect it much but yes, DCR depends on temperature.

@hacksguitarhobby 8 месяцев назад

It may have made a marginal weight difference, not significant though. The paint is very very thick, but it’s essentially plastic. :)

@TheAmphibic 8 месяцев назад

@@hacksguitarhobby thanks, that does make sense!

@RobertVining 8 месяцев назад

Quick question, off topic... do you find the Peterson strobe is worth the $$$ over the Korg for daily use? I just can't justify the cost for home use yet. Thoughts?

@hacksguitarhobby 8 месяцев назад

I guess it depends upon how much you value accuracy. I got it to nail intonation, but for the most part, it’s overkill. I probably should stick with solid state tuners because you can hear the Peterson whirring in videos.

@subd3 8 месяцев назад

After staining, how did you seal the wood?

@hacksguitarhobby 8 месяцев назад

It’s an oil rub. Minwax makes an antique oil finish and a tung oil finish that are both easy, but you could also spray just about any clear over this stain, which is just an alcohol based leather dye.
