Cool 🤖! Thank you for letting me know.

Thanks! It’s a Bastard file (coarse file) for the fretboard edge around the frets and a Shinto rasp for where there aren’t frets.

Ha yes, it took some time! Thank you! 🙏🏼

Ah, 1/8" for guide holes. Or whatever the exact size of the bridge plate is. Then 8mm for ferrules (1mm deeper than ferrules)

Thanks! Yep, that’s it 😃. To match the hardware you’re using, the ferrules on the back can vary in size quite a lot depending on the type, but usually the bridge plate holes are around 1/8”. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

It’s from Rall guitar tools.

Thank you! Yep, my favourite scale length too!

What’s the starting cost of these? Without the super upgrades. ✌️

@@MrDaleAsmiththe starting price is £1995. Thanks for the interest!

Thank you 🙏🏼

Thank you 🙏🏼

Yeah that’d be cool!

Thanks! A router was used to cut a tenon which is oversized compared to the mortise. Then the chisels and scraping did the rest.

Yep mantoncustoms.co.uk

Thank you 🙏🏼 😃

@mantoncustoms I'm actually thinking I'd like one relatively soon. Been really thinking about all the details. Where can I look at your guitars and ask questions about them?

@@greendragon2471 lots of guitars to look at on website! My email address is on there too, you can get in touch via that with any questions you may have and I’d be happy to help. mantoncustoms.co.uk

Thank you!

Yeah a few hours…enjoyable though!

Thank you 🙏🏼 😃

Thank you 🙏🏼 one of my favourites!

It makes sound

@@mantoncustoms No sound was in the video.

Thank you!

Thank you. Yes, some knobs like this use an insert of brass or plastic. But I haven’t found it necessary. The shaft is a tight fit and the little set screw has proved enough to stop any slipping.

Thank you!

I will do a video on that at some point 👍🏻

Thank you very much! Glad you like it. 😃

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching 😃

Glad to help! Thank you for watching and good luck with the Strat!

Thank you! Definitely 👍🏻

Thank you very much 😃

Thanks!

Thank you!

Check out my channel 😃 there’s some videos on there which show you how.

Thanks Howard, hope you’re well! Yeah the crowning takes a while 🥱 though it was much quicker on this one having done a few TT fretboards before…the first one took ages!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Unfortunately I think you may be out of luck, when I make a mistake like this I usually just sand or strip it off. You could try naphtha to remove it instead…on the decals I use this will dissolve the whole decal and the glue holding it.

@@mantoncustoms For your potential future reference. After soaking with warm water and a small amount of dawn dish soap, (don't know if the soap actually helped but, was part of the process I happened to use) the decal would not slide, however, I noticed I could get the edges to pull up. I was able to gently pull the edge from one end up, pulling roughly 3/4 of the decal up so as not to have it roll and stick to itself, then dab water underneath the decal with my fingertip, lay it back down, pull opposite end up, dab water under that end, then decal would slide with no issue. For anyone who may try this method - keep in mind my headstock is finished maple, so the decal slid easily. Also, once you're able to move decal, try to get it where you want as efficiently and quickly as you're able as I noticed after messing about with the decal too much, the black ink - didn't smear but, kinda broke a tiny section off the print on one of the letters in the script. Good luck!

I did a video on that part a few years ua-cam.com/video/o6DZKcSg3WY/v-deo.html ago, it’ll also be on part 3 :)

Yes, I’ve done that before too.… start drilling using the hole saw, then when you’re part way through, you remove the pilot drill bit from the hole saw and drill the remainder without the drill bit attached.

@@mantoncustoms that was my guess but im not familiar with hole saws--thank you for the tip! I made some knobs a different way and drilling that middle hole separately and getting it perfect is not the business

Yep, 👍🏻 just take care if it’s a multi piece body as mentioned in the video

K I did this 😂 And the join in the body opened up a bit just like you said it would...how do I go about fixing that? You mentioned filling?

@@Univarrepoxy is best, but it’s messy stuff so make sure you don’t get it everywhere! You could mask off the rest of the body. If it’s smaller gap, super glue might work also

Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching

A custom set from Newtone (UK based string manufacturer)

Thank you! Glad to help

Thanks for watching. Yep, lots of different methods. Keeping the index pin in place also works great too. Just was easier to film this way. If I used a mill and digital read out there would be little point posting a video about it…as these videos are supposed to help people and few people will have that equipment… it’s also not needed for drilling 6 holes which can be drilled perfectly accurately like this.

@@mantoncustoms Totally agree. Keep up the good work!! Cheers...

Thanks for watching!

???..you had a drill press the has a digital readout???..please explain more

@@Jeremya74 As I stated, a mill. Milling machine.

@@G1951-w1y nevermind..sorry I asked

Thank you very much. I like the early p basses…good choice! Hope it turns out great!

Glad to help, good luck!
