In this video, I take a complete dud of a guitar
and turn it into a complete beast. You never
know what you can come up with if you just
take a little time and give a little effort. Everyone
can do what I just did. I’m saying what I did
wasn’t anything special anyone can do it. I don’t
do things the conventional way, so I get things done.
I really appreciate you watching if you’re interested in the guitar stand or any of the tools you see me using here’s some links

Sean, you’ve been pumping out a ton of awesome content! We notice all the hard work, and appreciate it!!

@scarmyguitar Год назад

I appreciate that!

@keovongvilaykeo4799 Год назад

Man I could only wish your shop was closed to me I can take my guitar in for you to repair 😊 thank you 🙏

@AndrewAHayes Год назад

Indian laurel is commonly used on budget gutars, it has a wider grain than ebony but I like it, of course you can get good and bad wood of any species, the side wood next to the heart wood has some red streaking and can be used for rosewood replacement but the heartwood itself is black.

@alfredlebon2767 7 месяцев назад

Just realized, Sean is an "auditory thinker" . His eyes cut sharply to the left when listens to how a guitar sounds. He's comparing 'sounds of guitars past' to the one he's playing. Auditories make excellent musicians. They can hear and connect with sounds others do not hear/understand.

You could definitely hear the improvement - your explanations are always clear and concise, and every guitar you work on sounds better afterwards. I always enjoy your videos.

@TheGuitologist Год назад

With a scale length that short, going to maybe 11 gauge strings will help with intonation, sustain, and tuning stability even more.

@scarmyguitar Год назад

I put on 11's

@edwinstovall3334 Год назад

Sean, I'm listening to the sound demo even as I type, and I can tell you right now that that LyxPro is no student guitar anymore (as if it ever was!). No, NOW it's a full-on travel guitar! You've got me thinking about trying to rescue a mini guitar that I got for the purpose of travel, but it's scale length is too short and it needs strings too thick to be useful to me. I have another travel guitar, so I don't NEED this guy anymore, really. Still, I might like to keep it if I could get it rescaled. I'd settle for 24.75 inches. I might PREFER the 25.5 inch Strat scale length, but I'm not married to it. My woodworking skills really suck, though.

@edwardbrown4455 Год назад

I’ve noticed you’ve been busy. Lots of good videos lately. Keep them coming!

@weedian710 Год назад

Appreciate all the cool videos here lately! My buddy has a similar 30” Amazon kids guitar. It’s branded BY, I think. He got it years ago. I think LyxPro is selling them now with an amp for $50. It’s a black double cut with a single strat pickup. It actually plays really well other than a couple mildly high frets. I’ve been thinking about trying to make a humbucker, 2 point trem, and locking tuners work on one.

@davidsharpify Месяц назад

Thank you Sean. Your vids are super informative, and regular guys on family budgets really appreciate you!

@scarmyguitar Месяц назад

I appreciate that!

@edwinstovall3334 Год назад

For a while now, Sean, I've been saying that it's not that easy anymore to come up with an actually BAD-sounding cheap pickup these days -- but that LyxPro proves that it's still possible!

@jimmycarter2927 Год назад

Dude, I think that’s awesome you are going to give that to a kid. Sure make playing a lot easier with a damn good guitar. 🤘🏽

@tweakrr99 Год назад

@kcsvantasticvoyages9729 Год назад

Only other thing I would do is change the neck nut with graphite or bone maybe. Actually, been doing same type stuff to cheap guitars, but you’re advancing better than me cause I like to overthink it. So, my friend your inspiration to me. Like your common sense approach to it.

@chrisbrumbaugh9936 Год назад

3rd comment 😂 Any kid that ends up with a properly setup guitar is 100% more likely to just succeed at mastering all aspects, every guitar player I know that sets up their own instruments tend to be the most confident on stage but , it starts with that learning guitar, nice job man as always.

@jeffrowlette Год назад

To make the neck sit flat in the pocket - THE SCREW HOLES IN THE BODY MUST BE BIGGER THAN THE SCREWS! Else the screws are threading into the body AND/THEN the neck. You only want the screws pulling the NECK to the pocket. I have to drill the holes bigger in the body all the time.

@popogejo7245 Год назад

That's funny! I just bought one of these at a local pawn, AND gonna do the same thing to it. Have a little 6 y. o. at home that thinks she's in the band, and her little yuk is just about loved to death. So this'll be the replacement. lol

@marlan3rd Год назад

Interesting take on the modifications especially since the routing was bad. I modified a Lyxpro 30 but I used Guitarfetish parts for the locking tuners and installed lil killer humbuckers with a coil spitter on a video I did called "Pimp My Telecaster". I do like the small size and light weight of the guitar. I replaced the bridge so did not have too much problem with the intonation and I go lucky on the frets and the neck did not have to be shimmed.

@robandrews9165 Год назад

@scarmyguitar Год назад

@kennyleejohnson5253 Год назад

Sean, the only thing I would do different is ditch the electrical tape. Heat shrink tubing is so much better. Hobo Freight sells a cheap kit.

@rogerj.reinke6224 7 месяцев назад

I am guessing here but I have noticed that Jacob a is being used as an Imitation rosewood for these Asian made guitars ,especially the beginners series.

@TexanUSMC8089 Год назад

I've seen a bunch of Fender pickups come with short ground wires. There must be a reason for it. Maybe you connect it to the bridge ground? Great job on that little guitar. Everyone that plays it will have fun. Well done.

@michelleruss1 Год назад

how funny, I got a little kid strat (Audster) currently installing a p90 pickup into it with a Vol and tone pods. All from my Epiphone Les Paul jr. that I upgraded a few yrs back with a Dmarzio humbucker and even installed an original bixby on it.

@woochyna Год назад

Doesn't a shim leave a void between the neck and the body? Seeing that you know your way around a router, wouldn't it be better to route the neck pocket to a propper angle thus making a morebetter connection between the body and the neck? On the other hand, this channel focuses on showing how to repair guitars in a cheap and easy way, so more power to you. The guitar turned out good. Cheers.

Do you ever use a marker on the top of the frets when you are leveling them. I don't know much about working on a guitar, but it looks fun.

@johnpittman3756 Год назад

Great video. I was wondering how much work would be required for the Lyx mini. The problem is my skill level with routers sux. Did you use the 10 gauge strings?

@scarmyguitar Год назад

11's

@johnpittman3756 Год назад

@@scarmyguitar Thnx.

@BuChan89 Год назад

What gauge strings? Shorter scale will need heavier gauge, i.e. my Rickenbacker 325 is 20.75" scale and uses 12s to tune up to regular pitch.

@alfredocuomo1546 Год назад

Nice job, I would guess the repair & update cost more than the guitar but at least you have something that will last your kid until he or she's ready to step up to a full size Guitar. Also it's nice to have good tools BUT they mean nothing without the Artisan's ability to use them, nice video.
