DIY Headless Guitar from old Ibanez, I cut the head off & installed new bridge,explained w/details! 

Love the relic look

Nice work! I like that you left in all the small mistakes and explained how you corrected them. Kudos! I hope that instrument will serve you well for a long time.

I’m not personally a fan of headless guitar but this one is just beautiful I will say, I like it and it’s also even cooler that your a left, keep on rocking brother 🤘

Good stuff man I have done that conversion 2 twice an it’s never as simple as it seems

Just realized how easy I have it with a cnc router. Doing a similar headless, except its gonna be an exact copy of the spirit.

Hey just wanted to say I love the build. Thanks!

Man that is a project! I have skills to do that but, I would be afraid to attempt it. Nice job, thx for sharing.

i cant believe this thing was possible. thanks for your video and keep up the hardwork. greeting from south east asia

Well done!! I like customizing guitars. I have changed for two guitars their look and shape. Thumbs up 🤘🤘🤘

Good video. I wondered about doing such a mod myself, and I came to the conclusion that its probably best to semi detach the headstock and leave a little room for tuners that only act as string lock. I would then go ahead and get those single tuner barrels for the bridge end and mount them on top of a 2 point trem plate, maybe a 6 point. Would probably have to stand them off a litlle and then lower the whole thing to be able to get lower action. Ive seen someone do this here on yt. Pretty crafty. That way you can still use the og trem cavity rout as opposed to the steinberger style trem.

A cool build. I do similar stuff. I mod Ibanez replacement necks and make my own bodies. Moding an existing body is an even greater challenge (as you know by now). I did one build with that exact same bridge, but the trem spring is too stiff for Ernie Ball 8's. I prefer the Steinberger "R" trem (AKA "Overlord of Music"). You don't have to pre-cut strings to length, the trem uses a thumb screw - not an allen, and it has a built-in hardtail lock for fast and easy restringing (lock it, tune it, thumbscrew to float, unlock, done). It also has a left-hand position for the whammy bar - but only comes with a right-hand whammy bar. I use the horizontal style of nut installation, as opposed to the tilted back style you used. It seems to be the more common method used by most manufacturers (including Steinberger). For bridge placement, I typically set the saddles all the way forward, and position the bridge so the saddles are at the theoretical saddle line as measured from the nut line. This typically puts #1 string spot on, and then you adjust the rest to the normal double compensated pattern. You should give your guitar a proper paint job. It's a nice build - it deserves a nice finish.

I have had to move a bridge before also lol. Second try always gets it

Nice man!

best of luck with that museum its hard enough to do a music museum let alone a guitar museum let alone a Gibson museum. I cant see it ever making money and im one of the guys that would go

Yo! Thats a little endeavour! I love headless bro, i have Strandberg and Legator....that looks like an Ibanez headless!! Did you really spend only 175..?!? I paid that only for a headless neck - its a 7 strings, no dots and has a tapered profile, really quite nice, made in China...but i haven't started the build yet. Much more problematic with a tremolo....I would paint it bro... and have you seen Harley Benton headless? They are very good for the money but you might have to pay import tax...still it will etay in tune! Well done mate! 🤘👽

One thing I noticed, you could have used the wood you cut off the back to make the plug then it would have matched up. Nice work though. P.S. Please polish the frets :)

So, maybe obvious question.. or not so obvious, how will you adjust the truss rod now?

Excellent axe! DIY is the way to go!

Is that bridge made of brass? Zinc? Stainless steel? Aluminum?

you paid 100 bucks for that ?

bro where do you put the ground wire

First, nice job. Second, you let me down by not actually putting out the album "reorienting the jack hole." You don't put that idea out into the world and then not follow through. Bad form, sir. 😂

Made in indonesia ada ibanez 🤔

The guitar is left?

Only downside is that now you can't access the reuss rod

I like headless guitar but this body don't looks good in this build, great job anyway.

But why?

Paint it

a-ha, so zerstört man also eine ibanez 😪

SHAME ON YOU FOR DOING THAT oh. its just a gio. carry on

Why the subtitle so fast over to reading You have make it slowlier No man can so fast reading Its not good

Cool, can you add a headatock back on so it doesn't look stupid?

Why now it looks like crap and i am sure it plays like crap

Showing you are not guitarist.
