I could agree with all the negative comments about greasy hands, bla blah blah......but instead, I am going to compliment you on a killer video series, excellent work, I am very glad I watchedthis video. I would be completely happy to own a guitar that YOU built. If these other haters knew who I was they would hang their heads in shame.
I've just viewed your Chibson AFD vid! it's cool that you've decided to take matters in your own hands by purchasing the bones and making the guitar the way you want it to be. I'm going to buy an LP neck and body from a Chinese seller on Ebay throw on some premium parts! Gibson is way out of control.
3:22 that's the worst way to use that blade. you need hold it at nice near vertical angle and go all the way round the binding in one swift fluid motion, one long scrape... not chipping at it like that.
yep....different. If you go back to video 1, the body has number 202 written in pencil in the neck joint. In this body, it has number 58 written in blue marker.......
I wanna get one of these. Only thing stopping me is I don't want to give my credit card to some shady random county. But the guitar looks solid. Great. I got ta get one. I just don't want to get ripped off.
Nice Job! Would it be not practical to put the bridge and stop bar in, put 2 strings on and se how the neck sits..you may be able to add a him or such? Just an add from a non experiemced guy..
actually i just did that. iv been messing with it the whole time to try and get the grain right. i really wanted a nice uniform flame once i get that i stained it darker today so its more the orange that slashs is.
JamSessionTV yeh cool man it's just you see so many pictures of slash's guitar and it looks lighter then one another pic looks darker lol i think his les paul vos is better than his other gibson signature aswell
was this kit from albatross? I am doing one now and the frets are terrible. I have done kits from a few different makers and albeit these kits are hit and miss the frets on the neck were not even installed all the way into their groves all the way. saga makes a way better kit.
stepvan Joe I just bought an eBay pango kit. I did level, recrown, polish the frets how I like them, but was honestly impressed how decent they were to start with, being a cheap kit. The wood quality was way more decent than expected as well. It still needs work to be awesome, but I’m glad I didn’t spend more for a kit from another kit company, just to end up with the same thing. If you haven’t used them the only thing I would warn you on is you wait a solid month for shipping.
I like that you are basically being real. BUT if you are going to give me BS in a major way, no respect! That number 58 in neck pocket wasn’t in first video...in fact, the interior pickup holes are different. WHAT I WOULD DO is scrap the series of this project or make a part 1A to explain why you swapped bodies to save face!
Marking with a pen, putting a fake Gibson logo on the guitar, getting worn out and tubby breathing whilst lightly sanding, all signs of Merica. Too much confidence without skill.
