I am absolutely in love with this guitar! It looks amazing, even with the newer finish you put on it. Currently I only have one strat in olympic white and my dream is to upgrade everything about it and then relic it like this one. I think I’ve watched this video more times than I can count to see the fantastic process you go through to make it look so good. I also think custom built or modded guitars are so much better because they really give that personal touch that you just can’t get from a custom shop I wish there were more people that would make videos like this, keep up the amazing work!

@AlfieVaughanMusic 11 месяцев назад

@nurk_barry 2 года назад

I built 2 Warmoth Strats the last 2 years but they’re not traditional, more of a modern superstrat with a single humbucker. My next project I want to do a traditional Strat much like this, heavy relic, shell pink, with a few modern conveniences as well like you did, especially the heel truss rod. I have the side adjust/heel adjust on my current Warmoth necks and I think I’ll do the same on my next Strat. This is a beautiful guitar and I love how you showed everything so clearly throughout the steps of the build. For me the painting/sanding is the trickiest part. You did a great job man, congrats.!

I'm just about to go down a similar, less relic route with a lovely bargain squier affinity with great neck I just picked up, aiming for SD Li'l 59 for the bridge. I actually like the stock pickup middle and neck! but there's always room to experiment. Great vid and build...why go custom shop!

Doing something similar. Building a shell pink heavy relic strat but for mine I’m putting Seymour Duncan hot rails in the bridge position and Seymour Duncan single coils for the middle and neck positions. Hoping to use it to play post punk and other post hardcore songs as well as blues riffs and songs. This video is definitely a big inspiration!

@TheNastyPS 2 года назад

Question: Did you actually use coffee for the wood stains? I'd totally do this too but I'm scared it'll just smell like coffee for the rest of its lifetime lol

@AlfieVaughanMusic 2 года назад

Haha yes I did! I would have bought some woodstain but I was too impatient to wait for it to be delivered so I did some googling and found that coffee works. It doesn't smell at all now. I'd say it did a little for a few days but only if you put your nose next to it. I wiped it down with a wet cloth after putting the coffee on which probably got rid of most of it. You just have to be careful not to rub too hard or the stain will come off!!!

@gabrielsposito863 2 года назад

This is the best non Fender relic job I have seen on youtube. I have been doing a lot of research while waiting for my nitro aerosol to arrive. I want to do something similar but I can't find anything about the custom shop techniques, which I am very interested in, since the results are not that good on pretty much every relic tutorial I have seen. Today I finally found a clip of Ron Thorn talking about masking tape and exacto knives but couldn't quite picture what he was saying and then I found this video!!! Thanks a lot for posting this!! What an amazing guitar you built!! Now I am wondering about cracking the nitro and how to go about it. Thanks again!!

@AlfieVaughanMusic 2 года назад

Thanks Gabriel! Yes there's a lot of dodgy ones out there. Not saying mine is perfect but even the fender ones look a bit rubbish up close I've found. The edges of the lacquer are always so clean like it's been surgically removed rather than organically worn off. This turned out pretty good I think! As for the cracking, use a hair dryer and an upsidedown air duster spray to hear and then rapidly cool the lacquer. It expands and contracts and makes it crack. I've done it on a couple of my les Pauls. It really works!

just the other day I took an old 20€ flea market Strat and did a very similar thing. Instead of fancy nitro paint I used random paint from the hardware store. Base coat is a light blue with some orange and yellow streaks on it and a lot of burn marks. Was a very fun project! I recommend every guitarist do something like this!

@georgekay372 2 года назад

@@AlfieVaughanMusic not at all! At least not that I can remember. It’s very DIY punk, with some super high output humbucker in the bridge. I actually cut the pickguard slot for that myself and it’s super janky, but I love it. It’s a perfect punk guitar.

@@Kosmacz12 I had the pearly gates in the bridge of an ash strat and hated it, too bright and harsh. Also there are two versions of the pearly gates, one came stock in some fenders and another sold aftermarket. I can’t remember which I had. The 59 is my go to for pairing with single coils, if you want humbucker and still sort of fit what a strat does. Note avoid the normal 59 it has long legs for a deeper body like a lea paul.

@Kosmacz12 3 года назад

@@ass_jay I know - Pearly Gates 'Plus' was offered in Fender Lonestar and other HSS Stratocaster. It was a little bit overwound and had Alnico V magnet. I've found this one too icy and harsh. Still the regular one in alder/rosewood Strat is gorgeous! :)

here's a tip for that issue with installing humbuckers and the springs flying off: stew mac sells a device called "humbucker helpers" that hold the spring down, but you can get the same effect by just compressing the spring and using a clip to hold it in place. i use my heat sink clips, just cause if i'm installing pickups, they're usually nearby

@AlfieVaughanMusic 2 года назад

That's a good idea! I recently had to take them off again to put some copper tape under the pickguard. I just cut the springs down a bit so they weren't so tightly wedged in. Really helped to get them back on and the tension is still fine

@marksanders2784 Год назад

Great video, thinking of making something similar myself. I have some Monty's Montyspresso that I used on the neck of my G&L ASAT when I took the laquer off of the neck - Matt has a video on this - and it worked well so would probably use that instead of coffee on the neck and body but some really useful info here. Man, this has really got me excited to build something myself, thanks!

Very nice bro. Shell pink is my favorite Strat color. I've got plans to build one soon, just have to finish the relic on my David Gilmour "Black Strat" before I start a new one. Fortunately I have a really good friend who lets me use his CNC and pickup winder whenever I need, so it's a bit less expensive to build and more gratifying to know that you built it rather than bought it. Hopefully soon with this new program I bought, we can start making our own hardware.. keep up the nice work man. I hope to see another build from you soon.

@@AlfieVaughanMusic I saw that one right after. Looked great, like an old refin. Im sure that your dad was ecstatic when he got it.

He loved it 😁

@@AlfieVaughanMusic I can't say that I blame him. The only thing I think I would have done differently, would be to use a single ply white guard. Just for that vintage aesthetic. But I dig the red also. I've built a few Esquires, and I do everything to make them look and feel as vintage as possible. Actually I do that with everything I build. I guess I'm a classic kinda guy.

Dude, amazing stuff. Came from your CG channel, and found another gem here. Next step could be designing your own guitar from scrath myb ^^

@AlfieVaughanMusic 3 года назад

Thanks man! Haha maybe one day. I don't have the tools or skills to do it fully from scratch but I'd love to at some point :D

Late to this, but fantastic job all around. Don't be so hard on yourself about the neck. It doesn't look sanded at all. You did a beautiful job. Take it from a certified relic addict 🙌

@AlfieVaughanMusic Год назад

Thanks very much! A few months ago I sanded the transition to the lacquer again with finer grit sandpaper and redid the grey darkening of the wood on the new edges. It looks loads better now! Glad you like it :)

@@AlfieVaughanMusic would love to see the new work. Do you have an IG page?

@AlfieVaughanMusic Год назад
