A rustic paint job and how to finish a guitar in polyurethane
I accidentally made new wood look like reclaimed boards and this is how i did it. I also included some information on how to finish a guitar with a polyurethane finish.
With all of the woodwork and finishing done, I am now on to hardware and wiring for this guitar next.

A WEIRD effect pedal for only $40
Переглядів 7 тис.Рік тому
I bought the Flamma Mini Modulation pedal off Amazon in an attempt to create a very strange modulation-based pedal board for my current rig build. Turns out this thing sounds GREAT, especially for the price! I'll be using it for the oddball effects that are included more than the chorus, flanger, or other simple mod effects. The main reason I wanted to give this effect a try is because of the "...
Custom wiring mods for a scrap parts guitar
Переглядів 847Рік тому
I finished my parts-bin special Les Paul Junior and did a few custom wiring mods so I would have some tonal variety to play with. I put in a coil split for the humbucker, a bypassable tone control, a kill switch, a treble bleed mod, plus a few extra layout tricks to make the whole thing more resilient and more pleasant to play. The original schematic came from the book Solid Sound by Eric Daw, ...
Finishing a guitar with Shellac

I put a shellac finish on my parts-bin guitar build and here's everything I've learned so far about how to finish a guitar body with shellac. This trashcaster, the Junc parts Les Paul Junior, is nearly complete and in my next video I'll show you the oddball wiring scheme that I've come up with for it.
Trying a new guitar painting technique
Переглядів 3,4 тис.Рік тому
I used some scrap guitar parts to build a piece of wall art and tested out a viral painting technique while I was at it. This has been making the rounds of instagram and tiktok and I couldn't resist trying to paint a neon 80s inspired guitar using the method. More guitar and music DIY projects coming up, the junk parts Les Paul is nearly finished and it will be in the next video!
A scrap parts guitar project

I'm building a guitar almost entirely from pieces I have in the parts bin. I bought some red oak to do some basic inlay work and I'll be purchasing a few pieces of the wiring harness but the body, neck, pickup, and hardware are all junkpile specials. In this video I'm laying out the plan, gathering the parts, and preparing the body from a reject slab of reclaimed soft wood. Stay tuned for parts...
A portable car horn, because why not?

My old battery powered drill broke and I turned it into a portable siren? An old timey car horn with a battery pack? A man portable war horn? Partially inspired by the Modern Rogue's "Honk of Wrongdor" and partially by some meme clip I saw of a kid with an air pump hooked up to a trumpet, I wanted to make the most of the spare parts and create this strange little noise maker. It's a Harbor Frei...
This distortion pedal is cheap and versatile! The Behringer OD300
Переглядів 13 тис.2 роки тому
Unboxing a Behringer OD300, their take on the BOSS OS-2 overdrive and distortion. It's a great pedal for beginners and for folks looking to add some good tweakable baseline distortion tones in their recording rigs. I'll be using this pedal in a mini pedalboard build soon so stick around to see more budget friendly gear content
A tree fell in my yard... so I built this!
Переглядів 3752 роки тому
When a cedar tree fell in my yard this year I made the decision to mill some of the wood and build some guitars from it- this is the first build, a four string stick dulcimer. A little bit cigar box guitar, a little bit diddley bow, this small guitar is made entirely from reclaimed parts (with the exception of like, four washers.) I even found a great way to use cheap P Bass pickups as pickup s...
BIG tone from small amps!
Переглядів 2672 роки тому
I install a speaker out jack on every one of my combo amps, whether for guitar or bass, so that I can plug them in to bigger speaker cabinets. They get way more volume and better tone when used in conjunction with a large speaker cab compared to the smaller internal speakers typical of small practice amps. Here I'm showing you how to install a speaker out jack on any combo amp, and talking abou...
Why I mutilated this guitar... an Eddie Van Halen story

This is my Swiss Cheese guitar, it is also my Eddie Van Halen tribute build. In this video I attempt to justify myself and explain the little details I put into this build to pay homage to the man himself. Every guitarist should take some time, at some point, to put together a partscaster or a kit build and really try to dial it in to absolutely nail a certain tone or feel, you won't regret the...
From reclaimed wood- the juncbass!

Nice work! How much of the varathane did you use for the guitar?
Not much at all, you could buy a pint of it and still have plenty left afterward. I just happened to have the gallon left over from a flooring project lol
can i connect this pedal to a speaker( JBL PARTYBOX100)
Hard a hard time finding a simple and clear video to help me with this. This was so easy and fun to follow, thanks!
Men i nee help, who do i charge the petal, i have no battery
you find a solution?
sounds good, do you think it works for stoner rock? like kyuss
I think this could do the trick but if you're going for Josh Homme tones you'll probably want to get an eq pedal too, regardless of what distortion you go for, just to get a proper low end boost like he has.
This is the most informative Tru Oil finish vid on youtube. So many little secrets and pertinent details shared. Excellent.
Sci-fi effects are nice. One could definitely create their own sound with this.
Sounds and looks really good!
The 8 bit sounds fun. But I’m not sure about the other effect sounds. I’m hooked or finally taking steps into pedals an I love my MRX carbon copy analog delay, Ibanez tube screamer ts9, lbanez nu tube tube screamer an JHD reverb pedal… plus cry baby wah. I want a chorus pedal. But I can get groovy space sounds for what I have. But I want some ambient sounds that aren’t harsh. Just cool.
But Chromatic Dulcimers are becoming more common these days.
You could make them Chromatic versions because Chromatic Dulcimers are becoming more common
mine’s not working, i’ve changed the battery but it’s still not working at all
would this be good for playing Metallica songs like enter sandman?
To be honest, I'm not super well versed on Metallica's gear or emulating their tone. This thing does have a nice wide variety of tones though so I'm sure you could dial in something close
If you want to play Metallica songs, I heavily HEAVILY recommend the Behringer Ultra Metal pedal, it’s amazing and definitely one of my favourites, the best part is that you can fiddle with the mids and highs, which means you can really get into metallicas tone, trust me you’ll never look back
Nice work mate. I just did a DIY tele kit that I finished with RIT fabric dye, and then about nine coats of Tru Oil.... works like a charm. Great drying rack setup that you built.
Awesome work!
Nice work, really cool paint job. Thanks for posting.
What country are these Amazon necks coming from ? Thanks...
Most of them are coming from china, I can't recall where this particular one shipped from as I had purchased it a couple years ago. I find that, overall, the unfinished necks are great for someone willing to do the finishing work. The finished necks are not such good quality, it seems that those finishing details are where these factories are really missing the mark.
Can it be used as an alt to boss ds-1?
It depends on what you're looking for out of a DS-1. If what you want is a good budget distortion, I think that this thing has a wider variety of tones to choose from and can probably help you get a more personalized sound. If you're looking for a specifically DS1 tone, I'd stick with the original they're still only like 40 bucks used compared to this Behringer at 30 dollars new Personally I stick with the DS1 on my bass pedalboard because I like the sound of it on a bass with the gain all the way up and the tone all the way down. On my guitar rigs, I stick with something more variable like this Behringer.
@@junc_musik something that could sound as close as Kurt Cobain's tone. That's what I'm looking for. Ik there two behringer pedals that copy Ds 1 and Ds 2 but aren't produced anymore and nobody is selling them in my country. This pedal is my only hope Edit: I'm from Romania, 30-40 dollars in my country is A LOT
@@MementoMoriOfficiall understood. The Donner Extreme Driver might be a little bit closer to a DS1 than this pedal is, and goes on sale sometimes for like 20 bucks but I'm not sure if that one is available to you. If not, then yes I think that you could dial in a pretty good Cobain distortion with this Behringer
@@junc_musik thanks A LOT ur a money and lifesaver
Good vid, thanks for not editing mistakes. I use lacquer to finish and get good results but have been wanting to try this process that you demo here. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! I try to leave my mistakes in because becoming good at anything doesn't mean that you don't make mistakes it means that you can move past them. Plus how good of a source of info could I possibly be if I expect that everything will go off without a hitch for the person trying to learn from me?
Man, I've watched a lot of videos on tech, and you did it in seconds, adding that first coat...wow factor 100%...RocknRollflat5
On electric guitar, does the wood used and the finish have a little or a lot with tone???..RocknRollflat5
Personally I don't think that the wood has nearly as much of an impact as it does on acoustic guitars. Finish even less so, a lighter finish will theoretically allow the body to resonate a little better but I don't necessarily think that even measurable differences there add up to audible differences. To me, fit and finish is all about playability and feel, while the wood used is about aesthetic and whether it's tough enough to withstand the tension and abuse it gets. Number one factor in tone on an electric will always be the pickups
Wow factor 100%..RocknRollflat5
This is strange… Yesterday this video played normally. Today the audio is barely audible and very digitally distorted. Other videos are have normal audio levels. What gives? 🤔
Whatever videos you post, I’m here for it! 😊
I have a Warmoth ash HSS strat body, how good will Tru oil work on this body unprepped?
I haven't worked with Warmoth parts yet, so I'm not sure just how unprepped that is, and it all depends on what you are going for and what you have for a starting point. I would think that... Ash is probably going to need a grain fill or it will have the grain texture through the finish, if that's fine for you then go for it! I'm actually making a guitar right now that is meant to have a very rough finished look. and just doing some all-over sanding before applying the finish will make a big difference. If it's just got a rough sand from the factory then you'll have a pretty rough/rustic end product but if you take the time to sand it up even to like a 220 grit it will come out much smoother.
Looks great
Man, those witch hat knobs are sweet
I couldn't have come across your video at a better time! I'm in the process of applying amber shellac to a Warmoth body Strat. I have a question and I hope that you see my comment. I have a rattle can of some nitrocellulose that I was going to apply at the very end of the process and I'm wondering what your opinion on that is? By the way new subscriber here!
Very informative. I'm trying to decide which to use - Polymerized Tung Oii or Tru-Oil. I'm guessing they are about the same.
Great video! I've been building classical guitars for several years with shellac finishes. I've watched multiple videos on "french polishing". Most of them are incredibly tedious and wordy with half the information here. I especially like the errors shown and recovery from them, having made many, many more errors finishing than I ever did in construction!
I am doing this at the moment.. Do you seal this with poly afterwards or varnish.. Or do you just stop with the shellac.. My issue from my inexperience I used Non Dewaxed shellac.. Grrrr.. Most top coats say not to be used with non de-waxed Shellac
I'm gonna try this. Thanks for this video!
I'm excited to do this to my ol' build, this rocks!
Since you've done both, do you prefer shellac or Tru Oil?
Hey, thanks so much for the shout out and I'm so glad you're getting some use out of my book. Thanks!
Douglas fur? you mean 2x4? thats pretty cool idea. i always figured it was way too soft.
hey, how long did this process take? great video, very informative!! :)
Hey, I really liked the video and the result. I want a natural finish on a swamp ash body, but I don't want it glossy. Do you think I should still use Tru Oil, and just less coats? Or something else maybe?
I bet you could knock any shine down with 000 steel wool.
Well, Hello Dali!
You could try the Open D tuning on both. However since Chromatic Dulcimers are becoming more popular I suggest re-fretting it w/ new chromatic frets & making it a Chromatic Dulcitar but here's the other thing why not tune it up to G & call it the Dulciterz.
hey junc, what would happen if you put metal tape on nylon strings (like on a baritone uke) and had it picked up by a humbucker? or glued bits of metal to the nylon strings?
I make mine patterned after the Persian setar (flat backed instead of the traditional staved bowl body) with 4 strings, doubled bass string course (with the higher octave string), middle and melody strings.. I call mine a Dulsetar 😉
Since you had customized this, I would suggest that you re-cut/work the nut and bridge to allow the 2 hi, paired strings to be closer together as on a mandolin and 4 string dulcimer. I have actually seen all 6 strings paired up on mountain dulcimers, too.
mountain dulcimers usually don't have more then 4 strings.
Yeah, people like this dude with gumption making shit happen and keeping the guitar world moving along.
Nice. With all that care about dust I'm surprised to see the cat wander through. Dander much?
ну и дерево!Где такого говна нашёл ...
I'm trying this for the first time in a few weeks, this was a huge help, thank you
My neighbor loves it.
