Awesome video! Insane how you can make such a cheap little guitar into such a beast. I'm sure having this is gonna make me want to play more often.

Thanks for letting me work on her! Get that AC30 warmed up and I’ll drop her off this week!

I want to speak to the fact that it's never too late to play music. I gave up guitar for a mixture of reasons about seven or eight years ago. A few months ago something sparked in me and I needed to play again. After a few weeks of shaking off the rust I feel like I'm improving at at rate that I haven't since I first started playing. it's good to be back

@hotrodjones74 11 месяцев назад

Same happened to me during the pandemic. Go start a Craigslist band. It'll push you to the next level. There are loads of people in the community > musicians looking for people to jam with.

@varyagace 11 месяцев назад

It really never is too late. I started playing guitar in my teens way back in 2006. I stopped playing around the time I got into college because I no longer had any time for music, and I lot contact with my band members. About 10 years later, a funny thing happened, and I watched the Bocchi the Rock anime and it just lit the fire in me again. The anime was so funny and relatable and reminded me of why I loved playing back then. Now, I picked up my old Ibanez again, and not only am I derusting, I am also focusing on improving again, and this time I actually want to make my own music, not just learning random songs to cover in my bedroom. Music is a wonderful thing.

You feel old? I bought my SG because I saw a photo of the original guitarist of Chicago playing one. I don't think he played one for very long, but it was enough to influence me to buy one new back in 1976.

It's very cool that you're doing all this for a friend. I understand all those feelings of not playing for a long time. I just picked up a cheap guitar about a year ago. And have been doing a couple of mods. You should have showed him getting the guitar back.

Laying another guitar on top to use its strings to test the pickups is a great idea. Why the have I never thought of that before. Awesome thanks

@Ari_Calamari 11 месяцев назад

Omg, what a dream project. I haven’t watched the entire thing yet(typing as I watch), I recommend adding at 1k, 1/4w resistor between one of the bottom lugs of the splittable pot, and run it to ground. This engages just a tiny bit of the second coil, so you get the coil split tone, but still him canceling. It’s similar to the PRS dgt wiring, I think.

Thanks toe your video and the kind of guitar that ag turned into, i found new motivation to pursue my projekt.

This was wonderful! Love the Rory Mercury theme too, Gate is one of my favourites! Couldn't agree more with the 'it's never too late' message too. I quit playing around 2010 when it stopped being fun being in a band, but picked it up again when the pandemic started and it's been incredible. I've been recording, reaching out to old bandmates to jam, and just having fun with it again. Like Jacob, it's definitely been spurred on by folks like yourself, so I appreciate what you do!

@DandamanV 11 месяцев назад

I really appreciate the message you put into this video. I just left the music project I was helping a friend with, and have stopped playing in church after 12 years of playing (the whole time I've been a guitarist). Stopping feels weird, guilty almost. But I stopped enjoying playing because I never did it for myself and was always feeling the pressure to do it for someone else or to a deadline of some kind. I'm glad to be taking a step back and re-evaluating my relationship to the instrument. Thank you for your wholesomeness Nisebelle!

If you choose to get an SG, I think you would like the SG modern as it has coil splits and a phase change push pull pot, it’s almost the fancy mojo tone wiring harness that also has a series/Parallel switch.

@CristianSurvive1 11 месяцев назад

This video couldn't have come at a better time for me. I have the exact same SG special and she's been sitting in a bag for over 5 years now. The past 2 weeks I've been thinking about bringing her out and getting her all setup and upgrading parts. The stock pickups are a little too hot for me and the tuners could be better. Great video, I'm inspired!

@Ronno4691 11 месяцев назад

Set the pickup heights, check the string heights and file them down or put in a Graphtech nut, buy good pickups, buy a set of Elixir 9s.....whole new guitar!

@siegfriedhecker3473 11 месяцев назад

That SG looks and sounds great (& your music is really cool), and I'm not into SGs. On breaks from playing, mine was 20 years. More into it now than then.

@GoodmanRecordingsTokyo 11 месяцев назад

Great job job on the headstock and very cool way of demoing the coil splits at the end. Seymour Duncan awesome company to send those pickups! There's so many great pickup manufacturers out there and all have been very friendly with correspondence. Yesterday I got a set of SD Seth Lovers to put in a Jazzmaster (I have a lot of normal JM's!) and was surprised to see them signed by Mr. Duncan on the bottom.

@malfunction5448 11 месяцев назад

using alligator clips to hold the pickup mounting springs in place is genius! Great video, and the SG ended up looking and sounding great!

@HyphenatedReality 11 месяцев назад

First, you do a cool restoration build, so I follow you for that. Then you do a Bocchi the Rock build and now an xRakine collab? Did somebody just upload my search history directly into the algorithm and send it to you, or something? I'd been watching his Deserted series since maybe a few episodes after it started, and the same way he's one of the content creators that's gotten me back into OSRS, you are one that's gotten me more excited about playing music lately. It'd be cool to see him bring out the SG sometime, since I'm always of the mind "the best content is what the creator's excited about making"

This journey is about why you choose to rebuild this guitar, not why he chooses to play it. This is coming from a person who has a successful career in an industry and chose to move on to another career because it helped me provide for myself and other. AND NOW, I want to return from where I came from. You are doing the right thing and I support you 100 percent!

I guess that's just what shims are like at the epiphone factory? 'Cause my EB-0 had one just like that. The funny thing? When I got it all set up it didn't need a shim at all.

@nisebelle 11 месяцев назад

That’s so funny! My EB-0 came shimless, but I ended up putting one in a couple years later. This SG still needed a shim so I actually made a full pocket one off camera out of my old dental insurance card haha

I was turned off to guitar playing by a strict, intolerant teacher for about 10 years. The spirit has to move you to play, and so if you want to play, try and rekindle that spirit. Don't put pressure on yourself, just do what is natural and fun and gets you holding the guitar.

any reason you put the tune o matic bridge round the other way from how it came from the factory ?

Yeah! I like to swap the saddle positions and flip the whole bridge for TOMs since I find adjusting intonation from the back side easier than on the pickup side. I think I first saw the reverse TOM in Noel Gallagher’s es 335 so it’s not just a me thing!
