Making hollow body guitar. 

It went from looking like an old Fender to an old Peavey. Cool.

I’d imagine that if there was truly a big difference then there’d be a comparison video. This is just “too much time on ones hands” work.

@@ezsmith3765Science doesn’t imagine. It finds out for sure or shuts its damn mouth.

there would be no difference

@@mel_163 Prove it

I'd say the body is still much heavier than the neck so it should be fine considering where the strap bolts are placed. I've personally never experienced neck dive and I've played a few guitars over the years, but to be fair I've never played one of those plexi see through guitars. Some of those are pretty light. Good question and I hope he gives you a definitive answer. I'm interested myself. Got a bad back so light guitars interest me (and I know there is lots of talk online about the tone of the wood and sound quality but ive found its about 99% the sound of the pickups and your amp/ speaker quality. ).

hi @@titmusspaultpaul5, thank you for your response. yes i agree with you on the guitar body still heavier than the neck. But, the point of balance is playing major role here. in my case, i play bass, the neck is longer (especially 5 stringer). that why i think, something needs to be done to counteract lost weight on body side

@@paulraffles87 fair point. Positioning where the strap goes can make a huge difference in balance and comfort.

A wider strap will fix neck dive on any guitar!

@@officialWWM Not if it's slippery. For that reason, I will only use wide, leather straps, with a rough finish on the underside.

Watch until almost the end‼️😩😖

@@TomasAWalker53I saw he weighed the guitar without the neck on it, so if you know the full weight of the guitar lmk

I cut off 3mm from the body top and add 3mm cap.....

@@bakalika1 Ahh, I see. I didn't see that part of the process. Do you have a planer?

2.55 in the video @@timothyoo7

Tung oil, and few coat of schelac...

@@bakalika1Thank you, nice job on yours, sounds nice also, I have used some almond oil on an oak body and the result is a dark golden colour that looks good. I am about to build another and the body is a plain colour I will most likely use a translucent lacquer on it

@@rogersmith5167 Shellac is amazing, is has a nice yellow to amber colour depending on thickness and makes an incredibly nice feeling hard lacquer. Google "french polishing" No other lacquer feels as good to the touch

Tung oil.

@@bakalika1 can I use dunlop 65 lemon oil for this?

Any mineral oiil is better solution, lemon oil is mainly for cleaning.

@@bakalika1 Thanks for the answer!

I'm sure you're welcome to do that, and will be interested to see your video. I like the idea of making the top more interesting, personally.

If you want to fiddle with wires in a strat just remove the pickguard, everything's mounted to it, so the pickguard, is in essence, it's own access panel. 🤷🎶🌌

Well, I don't even have access to see the inside of the guitar

@@burzk9981 ..build a cell phone into it with the camera on, route a usp panel next to the output jack so you can recharge it, ..then you can have 24 access to the inside of your stealth hollow body stratocaster replica.💥🤣🤛

huh? all the wirings here can easily be accessed if you removed the pick guard, the wirings doesn't run across the whole body of that guitar you can see it in the middle of the body bruh🤦‍♂️
