thank you! 🙌

glad you like it mate🙌

@@BarnabyStipplethorpe it's not rocket science man... if you are unsure about soldering or setup, then watch a couple youtube videos how to dobit or just ask someone for help who might know it...

@@Mutombo71 yes, they definitely are! 🤘

@@SquierBulletBass-sj5bg congrats man! Enjoy it! 🤘

@@ovash1 Thank you man for checking it out 🤘 I eeally appreciate it 🙌

@@captieye It has a veeeeery slight angle mate... so not 100% straight.

@ToneChaseBasement awesome thanks for the reply!

@ you are welcome man

@@MadProfessorPedals you are more than welcome! 🙌🤘

I haven't heard of them but will have to check them out... Thanks for watching mate 🙌

@@tonray9395 unfortunately I don't have the answer to it either...

yes, exactly

@@Stratisfied22 well not every but a lot of them

@@IvanaJovanović-v1u jesu

@@Emet.V yes it does... so organic sounding....

@@arnyarny77 Thank you mate! 🙌 I really appreciate you watching it...

@@geoffreyalder7275 those machines were also operated by hand like the ones on the picture in my video if I am correct.

@@terroman1000 Thanks mate🙌 I really appreciate you checking it out!

@@mikeme4456 no man, I haven't 😀

It counts as well…

@@kennethlinton4432 didn't have time for that 🤣

Yup, an amp is an amp but some pedals nowadayws just nail it...

@@ToneChaseBasement Do you still owning and using it?

@ the Tsakalis unfortunately not anymore... sold it.

They are the narrow tall ones. Well, which one is better is up to your preferences. Its always easier to play with taller frets in my opinion...

Thank you mate, I really appreciate you checking it out!

@@Jim-g3q yeah, I don't think it has more processing power than the regular MBII only more options and buttons...

@ToneChaseBasement hmmm now that I think, I suppose it's about what to expect since it's only like 70 bucks more than the mb2. And maybe it's a pretty decent deal considering the goodies like the screen, buttons, di out and such!

@ yeah, the touchscreen means a lot

@@ToneChaseBasement got mine today lol

@ enjoy mate! 🙌

yes it is! However I like the B more...

@@liquidfirepainting1169 niiice! you will be more than happy with it! 🤘

@@twowaymuir oh man, nothing will sound like an actual real 62 strat.. thats for sure, you are definitely lucky enough to say that you owned one back then... 🙌

@@ToneChaseBasement It was good, but I like the Rumplestiltskin pickups better than the Fender stock 62 Strat.

@ haven't tried them but I am now curious...

yeah man, I said in the beginning of the video that it took me months to find all the parts... but mainly used market in europe, like ebay, kleinanzeigen, willhaben, reverb etc...

@@Han________ Thanks for watching mate! 🙌 of course, I found it in Germany on ebay.

@@liamwalton8759 indeed! I really like this color...

nice, yes stainless frets are really good.. I like their feel

Thank you mate for checking it out! 🙌

​@@ToneChaseBasement I give you credit for doing it. I don't have the space or time. I just got tools from Musicnomad so I can put my guitars in spec ( there is enough tutorials on UA-cam. Just replaced the nut on my tele' with a tusq nut....it definitely makes the guitar sound sharper and brighter. Jam on 🎸🎵🎶

@ yeah, the tusq really makes a difference... keep on modding mate! 😉

I never tried the Montys so can't comment on that... I only heard they are good but never got the chance to try them.. would be interesting to compare them indeed..

@ i happen to also be building a 62 partscaster with high quality parts!

@ good luck with it, post some pics once you are done🙌

yeah man, I wasn't sure as well until I played it😅 I was a bit nervous to be honest if it turned out good but in the end it just exceeded all my expectations...

Wow, man! Really glad to hear that! 🙌 yes, on some japanese models the bodies can be a bit off... some even thicker. if you like the neck you have then find another body from a US made one and do it man... experiment until you make it perfect for yourself...

@@ToneChaseBasement yes indeed it looks even thicker, I also got an expert luthier in my area who has a certain age and knows both 50s and 60s Strats inside out. He said the neck is great but the body he's not even sure it's Fender. Not gonna keep it anyway. Where are your got to marketplaces in Europe to find a nitro-finished Fender body? Thanks!

@ I look on ebay.de and kleinanzeigen.de or willhaben.at.. Reverb maybe too, but I try to avoid it to be honest...

@@heinrichpeffenkoffer4894 they did, 0.1uF ones... one of these come with this Kloppmann set, I dind't expect them but was very happy when I saw it in the box...

I am not a pro with soldering so as long as it works its just perfect for me mate 😀 also its all hidden behind the pickguard...

exactly that is the point to do it for yourself just as you'd like it to be...

i did mention its all from the used market... ebay and equivalent european websites.. so if you can negotiate the prices with the sellers it can be good... that build had cost me less than a MIM Fender player model, so it is worth it and yes, you can flip it for at least that much if you want to.. but that is not why i built it, i built it for myself and more people should do that if they are building a guitar for themselves and not to sell it... a new AVII fender can cost more than 2000 bucks and then you might get a solid body and neck quality but the pickups are still not on that level...

@@ToneChaseBasement MIM Fender player model is way over priced these days, so you're right. I saw some pretty nice partscasters on Reverb for not over 900, you need to be lucky to get all the parts below that number, and build it entirely by yourself. All in all, it pays off to do it.

@ as I said in the beginning in the video, it took me months to aquire all the parts as I wanted to grab the best possible deals and some of my negotiations failed as some people wouldn't lower their prices... so yes, luck is also a factor but with patience it pays off...

they definitely are! 🙌

Mainly important to build your own for the better parts as you mentioned. ❤

exactly, that is the most important factor to me

Thank you man! 🙌

same thing... its still called a tremolo arm...

Not so. Tremolo is a quaver in volume while vibrato is a quaver in pitch. Look it up.

@ tell that to Fender then to call it a vibrato arm and not a tremolo arm 😂

I don't think there is any theory behind it, it might just give bihger tension thats it...

@ My theory is the middle spring kicks in a little later so it’s lighter tension at first for softer vibrato techniques. Makes sense to me. Great guitar & playing by the way. I have the 40 year anniversary Stratocaster that I modded with a compensated nut, heavier vibrato steel block, locking tuners & a Fishman Vintage Modern pickup system with the battery back plate. I looked up the HB set for my Korean Double Cut Hamer. The Seymour Duncan JB set is ok but the neck PU sounds dull. The original were Seymour design and they were real dull. Any ideas. Thanks 🙏

@ you might be right about the springs, to be honest I haven't really thought about it ever in this depth, but very interesting theory indeed... I will read about it definitely. Don't know why the dullness on the neck pickup with HBs happen to you but try to play with the pickup height and polepieces, fine tune it and maybe it will get better...

@ Done all that with the PUs what has helped was a new bridge and stop bar. I’ll just raise the treble a bit. Thanks 🙏

@ very interesting that the bridge and stopbar was the key... never would have thought... but glad you figured it out 🤘

much less than a mim strat would cost nowadays...

@@abaija it is...

@@igorstavtsev5962 it was in the 70s... you are right, that is not historically correct, but essentially it is more practical and all the today built 60s and 50s reissues too come with a 5 way...

@@ToneChaseBasement Oh, it was 70s, thank you! I knew that it was introduced at some point later on…another thing is RWRP middle pickup. It drastically change the sound, to the better, in my opinion, I wonder if that’s relevant to 60s builds as well…

@ Yeah the RWRP is a thing that is practical for the hum canceling.. these "real 62" Kloppmanns come in 2 ways, you can get them the classic way and those with RWRP, but how Andreas Kloppmann explained to me, their RWRP middle pickups are done the way to match the sound of those classic 62 pickups but with the "benefits" of hum canceling... Which is a good thing... Honestly I barely use the 2-4 positions but for some ambient stuff it can be good, however for me the "strat" tone is that full neck pickup and that funky bity bridge... btw, chhers my friend! Thanks for checking out the video! 🙌

@ Oh, don’t get me wrong, I am glad that there’s a practicality and there’s a background and knowledge in your decisions! I love the build!

Thanks mate! hope to meet you sometime soon again! 🤘

Thanks mate, really appreciate it!🙌

exactly my point in the video... ☝️if you build one to your own preferences it might even be better than an couple thousand $ custom shop that might have been built by "masterbuilders" but still not for you and your preferences...
