Fender Strat To Super Strat (Partscaster Build) 

_"I've had this old broom for over 20 years. It's had 17 new heads and 14 new handles."_

Woohoo! KDH is back! Looking forward to watching this - this is something I've been planning to do for a while! I'm a HUGE Strat fan, and also a metal guitarist... So yeah, converting a Strat to a metal machine sounds like a lot of fun.

I love the mic placement. With headphones it sounds like i'm in the room with you. Awesome playing.

I never thought about the headstock tuning thing

Love the H/S configuration

Good to see you back. Looks good. Been tempted by a telecaster project myself.

Awesome vid. KDH. Glad to see you back!

While I'm very much looking forward to another Audio Audit, it's nice to see an upload nonetheless, keep doin you man!

Simple looking guitar, but it sounds killer. Love it :D Especially the reverse headstock.

It's good to see you back making videos.

👏 Good to see you back fella 👊👊👊 great video

Looks and sounds phenomenal!

Great mod project and fantastic tones! I personally love my strats - they're just so versatile and easy to mod. My only gripe is that the volume knob is too close for comfort when playing rhythm guitar, but a different pickguard or rewiring to 1 volume/ 1 tone should do the trick. There is just so many things that Leo Fender got right when he designed this guitar in the 50s that its design holds up to this day

Sounds great!!

that's such a sick build!!!!!! truly well done mate!

Awesome! Sounded great man!

Great build! Awesome playing, dude!

Brilliant video

Parts guitars are fun! Love to see people take something and make it their own

I'm always fascinated by solidly made guitars getting new electronics/hardware. Thanks for running down the changes that you made and playing through the pickups...I agree on the neck pup, it sounds great!

Sick playing!

Great work and nice playing!

Fine job man looking forward to more videos

Nice selection of pups. Through the Marshall yes? Can't tell if the light is on. Put the emgDG20 setup in mine w/a Bladerunner trem. How do you like the Wilkinson?

Usually, Mexican strats bodies are made up of two pieces glued together. I buyed one several years ago and my luthier told me that mine was made from 1 single piece of wood, so, very nice, and makes sense, it feels a lot more heavy than other strats owned by friends of mine!

THANK you for saying solder correctly! \m/ Guitar is rockin'!

Right on brother !! 🤘🤘

Amazing content as ALWAYS

Holy moly. Epic hair dude!

sweet guitar great job and choice

My guitar is a Warmoth body+reverse neck strat. I ordered them unfinished - everything else was done by a local luthier. Couldn't be happier. Only wished I've ordered a hollow body. It was oiled and now weighs a ton. But the guitar is a beauty and costs a lot less than any premium guitar, while being a total custom.

Must admit, I only came across your channel because Chappers decided to share “his truth” this time last year. I realise you must’ve got a lot of hate en masse from his supporters, but I for one really appreciate your honesty in all aspects of your video making (audio disclaimers about mic placement/variables are so important!) So from an English guitar nerd masquerading as a professional singer, thank you and I hope you have a great new year 😊

C Word - love it !

THis is fantastic. I want to do this to one of my old guitars

The old Mexican Standards are great platforms for building a custom guitar. I’ve done a few up and made gig guitars that I don’t have a ton of money in (just in case they “walk off” from a bar gig) that sound and play great. The pots and switch were actually good in them too although I never cared for the stock pickups. New pickups, a good brass block trem and a setup does wonders for them and I’ve picked up a couple for $250-$300 so not too much for a good base.

great refurbishment!

Your playing reminds me of Jerry Cantrell, freaking awesome man.

nice job, that headstock is pretty, only think i would do extra is to have the neck heel reshaped get rid of the neck place and have recessed screws, something about a vintage neck heel on a superstrat rubs me up the wrong way

Does it hold tuning well? Really nice job done on this K 🤟

Great job.

Very nice 👌🏾

Nice chops

Nice mate!

To bad for that nick. What happened?! And also, that neck pickup sounds surprisingly good, I've never had good luck with singlecoil sized humbuckers. What model is it?

C word guitar 🤣

looks killer

nice job

Cool changes for sure. They're fun to build. Lol took parts off a cword guitar. Wonder what that could be????

Nice. Very very nice. Brad Gillis is a awesome guitar player as well. Now that you mention it lol

I LOVE STRATS!

I want those chrome knobs. where do you get them? so sweet looking

Do you think this is worth doing to a squire strat?

Well done. Consider using compensated tuners in place of string trees... I like the cleaner look without string trees. Cheers.

I have 11 Warmoth necks .... I do love them, however not 1 was ready to go out of the box. All needed fret work.. level-crown, fixing proud frets, ... and sprout.

Killer playing, nice build. I got a reverse head-stock on one of mine, it has a floyd and actices too. Makes these instruments into totally different beasts, :) \M/

I'm building a super strat out of my Silvertone SS11 but I'm putting in a EMG 81 humbucker in it and a cream pickguard to keep it original.

Every time I see you play I remember how Chapman mocked you for your playing. He's a tool. You can shred rings around him!

I swear Ikea zip-lock bags can be used for literally anything

Was there really any need to replace the neck ? And the bridge ? I mean, saying you wouldn't use it live is abit much ? Dr you mean for your style of music or that it's unreliable ?

That Marshall MA is a rare head to see

Just gos to show with a few upgrades a squier can be a nice guitar.

I’m thinking of building a whole super strat from warmtoh

Buy a black fender logo decal and put it on the headstock it will match the tuners

Nice 👍🙏🌞

That guitar with a grey headstock, on the bottom row behind the black Ormsby headstock… What is it? It kinda looks like a Lâg.

first time i've heard the term "wrist angle"

Holy shit!

KDH can jam! Kill Devils Hill NC ~KDH

Dare one ask what bridge (if any!) is now on the Seaward guitar you mentioned? ;-)

👍👍👍

That thing is bad ass dude Why do u need sting trees bro ??

Your hair is fucking awesome man

What a cool wee cat. What's his name. Time to intro him to the world. Make him a meme cat.

I guess that depends on your taste of tone. Losing the single coils in my opinion is a big minus right out of the gate.

What is a "C word" guitar?

Dig it

The entire says "Bridge", when it starts with the Neck pickup. Nice build though ! Edit: or am I mistaken ? There is a high distortion "Neck" part of the demo. But you start off with the neck don't you ? That sounded way too "hollow" or "woodwind" like, to be a bridge sound.

Why the reverb on the voice? XD

Reverse headstock? It's just a left handed neck with a right handed nut.

That’s not a super Strat, it’s a Strat with an alternative pickguard 👍

Honestly it sounds amazing but it still sounds like it's trap LOL I'm guessing the c-word with Charvel which is owned by fender

can someone tell me what a c word guitar is

cort gutars

What’s a “C Word” guitar…. a Coustic guitar?

Are u crazy? Wilkinson's block is made of aluminum not steel. And the neck was wonderful

not to much removals, but everything bui the body........

Should have change back the claw, it doesn’t fit

It's no longer the same guitar😂

He's a C word alright.

Why didn't you update a Chapman? Perhaps already too powerful?

Now if you could only turn a Fender into a playable guitar.

Why is their pink tape on the nuts of your guitars? 💀🤦‍♂️

You didn't mention if you liked the pick-ups from the Chapman guitar. Looks like you like a Chapman style headstock too. If you were objective, you'd be able to say the word "Chapman".

Christ died for you choose him today he loves you.
