Thanks for the comment! My Boden made the trip from CO to FL over the course of three days, living in a cargo trailer on the trip. It's still in tune.

We are glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching and commenting!!

I couldn't agree more. I had 7s on a Tele and had it for Nashville tuning. As BB King told Billy Gibbons "Why are you working so hard?", and convinced him to use extra light strings (probably why those strings are called 'Rev Willies'. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Guitarsgarden is the Firefly web site we ordered this from. They can sometimes be found on other sites. If you don't see one keep checking back. We have nothing to do with Firefly we just enjoy working on guitars. If you get one there's a 23% chance it might be great out of the box. Your mileage may very. Thanks for watching!

After editing this video for hours I think you and Dana may be right. I don't know if it's worth changing the strings right away though. Thanks for watching!

I sure don't but Schecter must have one but pricey I'll bet. This body style was the Avenger I think back in the day. You might be able to source a used one. Given the length you might want to try cases designed for long fan fret basses like Dingwall. Thanks for watching and good luck in your search!

We are glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.

Looks like a new channel starting up with the promise of more CBG info and such. Check it out. Thanks for watching!

I know right! How can something so slick be so sticky? I think it's a plot to sell more scotch brite pads. Thanks for watching!

Keep in mind I have only used it once in a band setting so it's never really been pushed but I use it every day as my practice amp. I have no complaints. I watched a bunch of videos before I decided on it. I would buy it again in a heart beat. Thanks for watching!

@@3randommonkeys Thank you, my friend. I also watched a ton of videos an found a good deal so I pulled the trigger. Thanks again.

I have a bass I'm going to do this to but I'm planning to do a Relic job on it so it should fit right in. I have a real problem with messing up my stuff, but a smooth neck....ahhhhhhh! Thanks for watching!

Reverb has three for sale. $2200 is the cheapest one. Thanks for watching!!

Ah, you made me look. I thought for sure I would have noticed that bulge while playing but had to look anyway. It is just a trick of the light or something. Nice catch. Thanks for watching!

The neck didn't have any relief so it was unplayable. We had to do a set up and with the truss rod loose it still took it a number of days to get it to move. We thought it might have to be returned but it moved and all is well. Just sounds here ua-cam.com/video/KXKGfMJyVMg/v-deo.html A more in depth review Here. ua-cam.com/video/TNrBuvdreqU/v-deo.html Thanks for watching!!

Yes, it's a cigar box shaped guitar. Making one from scratch and found parts would be interesting! I have to finish this one first. Thanks for watching!!

If there are no rules..... Then why isn't this a cigar box guitar?

@@chasewinters7050 Lol! The box used was never used for cigars! Back when the cigar boxes were used for a string instrument, it was what was available. It was a poor man's guitar. There is a MOJO that goes with a real cigar box that gets lost when someone makes a box and calls it a cigar box guitar. Plus, this is a manufactured thing that is made to look like a cigar box guitar. It does look like a fun project. But to me, it not a real cigar box guitar. It's a lot more fun to find a real cigar box and make it into something with a lot of MOJO. That is the way they were made a long time ago. Too many things go from something fun to going into production and making lots of money on it. This is nothing but a model. You buy it, put it together. No use of woods you find in your home, not looking for cool things that help make it a cigar box guitar with tones of MOJO. Look at some past cigar box guitars and how they are made. Look at what they used to make them. They are way cool! But one can put the name of “cigar box guitar” on this. But to me, it will only be a manufactured model of what is supposed to be a cigar box guitar! So I guess there is that rule. LOL But what I meant from no rules, you can make it any way you want. You're not stuck to something like trying to copy a guitar like a Finder or Gibson. It can be anything from one string to 6 or more. But most are now made with 3 to 4 strings. I have made them 3, 4, and 6 sting cigar box guitars from scratch. Some have no truss rods, some do. Some are acoustic and some are electric. See, no rules. I have used all kinds of things to make the nut's bridge, sound holes and so on. They are a form of folk art. I guess this is a way to get into making a cigar box guitar and that it will teach you some things. But why not cross over and make one from scratch? It's not hard to do.

A man after my own heart. If I would have known that can opener trick it would have been a more interesting video. Thanks for the tip's and thanks for watching!

This was first legit bass too. I never really used it though, which is sad. I need to do a vid on it. Thanks for watching!!

Thank you, I had hoped it would be a little more involved. But a fix is a fix. Thanks for watching!

That was my first thought. But it holds tune and doesn't have neck dive so I thought lets dig into it. Kinda sad it was just a washer. Thanks for watching!!

That was his appearance.😆Thanks for watching!!

Yeah perhaps I went overboard. But in my defence I thought I'd be taking the tuner apart and instead a washer fixed it. Looked pretty boring but at this point I'm posting anyway. Maybe distracting is better? Thanks for watching!

@@3randommonkeys you rock! Thanks for sharing it!

Glad to help out! Thanks for watching!

We havn't got a hold of a Leo Jaymz yet unless you count the kit, might have to check them out. Thanks for watching!

Well I guess it depends on what you call little stuff. If you can work on your own guitar it's all good. Thanks for watching!!

Thanks!!😁 The background song is just something I through together. The vocal is a VST plug in and I'm playing the bass and drums. Thanks for watching!!

Spector basses are really nice IMHO. I've picked up a couple of Euro models so this guy has some competition now. Check out our video on the Spector Eurobolt 4. Thanks for watching!

Hopefully your luck is better then mine and it's green.😂They're great guitars though. At least 33% of the time. Good luck with yours!

@@3randommonkeys Yup, thanks. They sent me the green one..lol I did some minor adjustments to it and it is an amazing guitar. It also stays in tune when i use the whammy bar...but then again, I'm not rough with it.

Yeah in looking back it would have been a good idea. If you can watch the video on a PC monitor or a large TV you can get a pretty good look at it. Thanks for watching!

Awful...I rather liked it dimed. Thanks for watching!

The two of us have been in a few bands together over the last few decades. Our primary bands are Malignari, a hard rock/heavy metal band, and The Shrieking Eels, which is a catch-all of everything we write that isn't hard rock or heavy metal. We've toyed with Irish Folk, as well as gigging with such an eclectic set list that the club owners had difficulty finding compatible bands with whom to play. We've enjoyed a few other projects together as well over the last 35 years. Thanks for watching!

I believe I bought a standard American Tele pickguard. I'd check it but I have sold that one. Thanks for watching!

According to the specs, it's Richlite, which is a compressed plasticized layered paper product. Basically, plastic wood. Thanks for watching!!

I'm so glad!! Rock on and big thanks for commenting!!

Guitars are a very subjective thing. They need to 'speak' to you and fit your physicality and playing style. Thankfully there are a metric assload from which to choose. I just sold an 11 pound Les Paul that was the opposite of my .strandberg... and may have been more to your liking. Thanks for watching!

Hey Jim. great to hear from you. Rock on!!

I'm still setting up my new house so I have no workbench yet. Gotta debox enough of the garage to have space to put a workbench in there. I hope I don't have this intonation problem. That'd suck, but be a learning experience. Thanks for watching and subscribing!

We are glad to hear it all worked out for you. Thanks for watching!

I'll have Dana respond as well, but..It's my understanding that a zero fret is the nut and should be higher. What looks like a nut is more of a string guide to keep the strings in position. I would cut the nut deeper so the zero fret is higher and the nut can act as a string guide. Follow my advice at your own risk as I'm a drummer. Thanks for watching!

Great job! Yes, I believe the zero fret should be the new nut. Why have a nut if that's the case? Well, in the case of my strandberg, the zero fret IS the nut, and the nut just routes/spaces the strings. I think the Leo Jaymz kit is trying to duplicate the same thing. Again, kudos on figuring it out. Oh, and, no. I haven't finished the kit yet. I'm in the process of moving and building a new studio and workshop, so it might be a little while until I have follow up videos. If I run into your issue, I'll use your fix. Thanks!

Dana has vowed to play it but he took it apart to work on the finish. He's in the middle of moving now so things are on hold. Stay tuned! Thanks for watching!!

Yes sir, it does put fine scratches in the poly. Several folks have said it will buff out if you want it sticky again. Bill hasn't had the guts to do it to any of his basses. Thanks for watching!

Damages a finish that never should have been there in the first place on the neck not the front. Nobody is looking at the back of the neck besides your fingers sticking to it.

@@WillBhart There you go playing the logic card again, and you are right. Guitars are tools weather they cost two hundred or two thousand. Playability should be the most important thing.....and yet, so hard to do. Thanks for watching!
