@@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! 🙌

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...

oh man, I was in shock when I played it... just didn't sound real to me, it is that good. I also have SDs and a DiMarzio in my other strat and those are great too, but still different than these... Thanks for watching mate, I really appreciate it!

Thank you my friend for checking it out! Really appreciate it! 🙌 yes, it is a great feeling and it just makes it more special when you choose all the parts yourself...

@ I have a ‘57 Vintage reissue which was my main Strat for a long time. I now have a ‘62 AVRI and a ‘61 Vintage 2 as well so I’m lucky enough. It helped me trade up over many years.

@ those are nice ones for 👍

Finished? Haha good one..

@ i really hope so... 😅

the best combination ever with the Deputy! Thank you mate, really appreciate you checking it out! 🙌

I built a partscaster and that is how to do it and the point of it... 😉

@@hannuhanhi183 well kind of, but differently wound pickups with different magnets can sound radically different... therefore every pickup sound different..

@@Neshek023 That just looks very nice my friend! just amazing! enjoy your new guitar!

Absolutely right. I did the same: ua-cam.com/video/j3aqLgxKKrk/v-deo.htmlsi=Zhr1ipIBJ0pPoXd6

@@2good2betrue3 wow man! 🙌congrats! I am really happy for you... that just sounds amazing. enjoy your new guitar!!!

@@MascarasMil do that! its totally worth it!

@@doubleuseven thank you for watching mate! well, not that different build-wise but the pickups of the 62 sound a bit fuller while the 64 slightly thinner... but still very similar. The 64 is also an awesome year specs...

@@ToneChaseBasement Ok, I won't go wrong with the 62's after all. I like a Fullerton...see what I did there🙂Thanks!

@ no you just can't go wrong with it man... 80s fullerton AVRIs can be pretty pricey, if you can find one from the 90s they are really close and good but much more affordable on the used market.

yes, they just sound so right...

@@TeleCaster66 yes, these kind of projects are always big fun especially when the results csn be pretty awesome! Thanks for watching mate, really appreciate it 🙌

Thank you man! Yes, you can order these pickups either way, classic without hum cancelling and also middle pickup with reverse polarity as the ones I got and they are hum cancelling..

@@ToneChaseBasement Ou yeah!!! That rocks!

Thanks my friend! 🫡🤘

Thank you bro, I really appreciate your words and these kind of reactions like yours keep me inspired! Thank a again mate and have great one! 🙌

@@ZoltánBudai-n3f thanks bro! 😀🙌

Great looking and sounding build. Alan Dingwall ‘Spirit’ series pickups are also a great option for anyone wanting authentic vintage tone, they sound amazing and are worth checking out. For decades Alan Dingwall has been repairing original vintage Fender and Gibson pickups for pro players and vintage guitar owners so he knows the ‘anatomy ‘ of vintage spec pickups inside and out. All Alan Dingwall pickups are hand wound and made use authentic baseplates, magnets, wire etc. I have them in my 54 & 62 Strat builds and they’re sublime. Strat tone chasers like Philip Sayce and Matt Schofield also choose to play Alan Dingwall Spirit pickups.

Very nice build, that's just what I did for a fraction of the cost and I will put up my guitar against any custom shop I've tried, and any American Strat I've owned

@ had no chance to try Dingwall before but would like to...

yeah, the Tsakalis is just awesome!

yup, same here... couldn't agree more🤘

it definitely is ☝️

i agree with you... it just sounds so right, even without the actual tubes and I am a tube nerd too...☝️

yes, you are right on point ☝️ Thanks for watching, really appreciate it!

thanks for watching mate! 🙌 please let me know once you finish it, I would be interested...

yeah, he makes the faces 😀😀

which one mate? there are several throughout the video...

@@ToneChaseBasement2.36

@@earyahmad it's Everlong

@@ToneChaseBasement goshhh.. so Long to find out what song is that. Even tried shazam, but it didn’t catch up.. tq brother. Is the Epiphone for give away 😁

@@earyahmad no mate its not for giveaway 😀🤘

Oohh man... honestly that purple ibbi is not really my cup of tea guitar but it just felt and sounded great...

@@jasongoddard8167 what kind of problems did you have with it? sorry to hear that btw... It sounds good but long term use reliability I can't confirm...
