Point is it only takes 10 seconds of not paying attention dent the end of the headstock. I bought a brand new RR V once and opened the case to show a friend, walked five feet away to set down my drink and he decided to flip it over in the hard case and he taped the corner on the case chipping the paint. Then he says to me "it all looks good except this little chip in the corner". He didn't even realize HE did it. I'm like "I just looked at the corners and was impressed with how clean they were and I just saw you do that and he was completely oblivious and thought I was messing with him. Cost me $200 to fix. Some people just can't and should never touch nice things. It's like they only view life through a 2 inch circle.

@JunkCCCP 7 лет назад
Let's be real though, any guitar that is actually used will get more than a tiny little ding on the headstock pretty quickly. Wear and tear is all part of the game, case queen guitars are lame and so are the people who are so afraid of putting a scratch or a dent into their guitar that they handle it with kid gloves all the time.

one of the best guitars I've ever owned was a "spare parts" guitar assembled at a guitar shop. Start body (probably not Fender), Strat style neck with skunk stripe, 2 JB Player single coils and Gibson mini- humbucker from a 1962 Hudson Firebird (?), Schaller in-line tuners and , unfortunately, a Fender tremolo system. Oh, and 5way knife switch selector. I called it my Frankenstrat. Cost : $165.00! I up graded the whammy to a Turbo Trem for $30.00. Best guitar per dollar I ever owned.

If that had been my guitar, my reaction would have been a LOT different. After passing out, I would have gotten up from the ground and freaked out again in joy and gratitude! What Mills Custom Guitars did for this axe is like "shock and awe"! Great upgrades and it sounds really good now too. No doubt the guitar was sentimental to the owner - or maybe that's all he could afford at the time. But now it's a guitar to proud of no matter what it USED to be! A real "one-of-a-kind". Only a true friend would invest this much care into an off-brand guitar like this for someone and make it so nice. Great work MCG!

I see too many young drones today who have their faces buried in their i-phones, have 5 second attention spans and look up on the internet what they should think about something. You had a vision and made it happen. GREAT JOB!!! PS. Your friend was delighted. Man, his eyes lit right up seeing his guitar resurrected into a playable work of art!

@gear772

Tnt custom fucked me over. I bought a beautiful strat neck for $150 but one I put it on the body and added strings, just the tension of the strings caused an enormous neck bow. I realized it was a problem beyond my skill level and was more than a simple trus rod adjustment, I left it over night and just the string tension made the skunk stripe of the neck pop out. The neck was obviously crap. I told them about the problem and they said(pretty much)"we will not replace or refund any products that have had hole drilled". They sold a defective product and they never tried to make it right
@denverdeans
@denverdeans 9 лет назад
Same exact thing happened to me man. I bought a beautiful(I thought at the time) flamed maple strat neck and I was exited to put it on my guitar. Turned out the neck was junk and the truss rod did nothing but spin. I contacted them about it and they said there was nothing I could do.

A set of 20 year old Dimarzo Stacked single space pups, they are the D-1, can't think of the right model number. I prepped the body and painted it midnight black. and several coats of clear. The finish looks like it's in water it shines so well. Put a tortoise shell triple layer pick guard on it. Replaced the nut with a bone nut. I get many compliments on the sound and looks. I play through a vintage Peavy TubFex digital effects, rack mount into a 300 watt per channel Studiomaster MOSFET amp and a 4x12 Peavy cabinet wired in stereo.

+Ricky Montes No, that's not true. It can be to an extent, but technically no. Everything you do to a guitar effects how it resonates and vibrates when you pluck a string. How the guitar vibrates gets translated into the strings and then picked up by the pickups. The pickups play a big factor in how a guitar sounds, and changing them is the easiest way to change a guitars tone. But actually even the type of paint you use and how much there is of it will affect the tone. Most people can't hear the difference but that doesn't mean it isn't there, it just means they aren't able to hear it where a more trained ear might. If you play high gain rock and stuff, your tone becomes less and less of what the guitar is doing and more and more of what the amp is doing. If you play clean guitar, you will hear the most difference in tone woods. But I can still hear the difference. I made a Frankenstrat replica with an ash body and then I made a second one with an alder body so it would be a bit lighter. Ash and alder are somewhat similar in tone, but everything else about the guitar was identical and I could still pick out which guitar was which in a blind test.

+Ricky Montes Not quite. It is true that wood has a minute effect on the tone of the amplified guitar. But besides the pickups, the bridge, the nut, the frets, and the type of potentiometers (pots) also have affect the tone

+shelbyfanss yep run a squire through a friedman be 100-- then everyone will agree with you- inflections on strings and pickups are them main sound period--in metal emg - the alder body was deeper wasn't it--- GREAT BUILD LOVE IT__

I worked in a music store years ago. The owner's husband was a mechanic that repaired a guitar worse than in this video. It looked like a thousand dollar custom job and resembled an Alembic guitar. Some people have all around skills and can fix or build anything.

+Mills Custom Guitars Hi man! Your work is awesome!! Hey, you told about removing the gloss in the guitar neck, and i recently bought a 2008 Gibson Les Paul Studio, but i'm used to Jackson guitar necks, without gloss, just satin, and my Les Paul's neck have gloss on it, and when i'm playing, the neck become a little sticky and such... Don't worry, i wash my hands before playing guitar XD.... I can take the gloss off without leaving very visually noticeable? How do I do that? Thank you, and sorry for english mistakes...

+Higor Guedes I would suggest trying some 0000# steel wool. It's a subtle satin finish that looks and feels great. You can also polish it back up fairly easily if you ever change your mind.
