Thanks for checking out my channel!
I am a 23 year United States Navy Chief (retired). I have been building guitars since 1995. I apprenticed under Bill Zolla of Zolla Guitars in San Diego, Ca from 1995-2004.
From 2011-2015 I had the privilege to work for John Suhr as a production supervisor under Fender Master Builder Mike Ponce. Working alongside Master Builder Kenny Gin and Master Builder Jay Madore, I was groomed by the greats. It was a great opportunity and worked with some fantastic people.

I'm very happy to have made a more complete video with ESP Joe Perry Style, a very insane guitar!
I'm glad you're back with the videos, you're still back with a guitar in style!
The green one is killer!!! I love an H-S pickup configuration. I have a '91 Ibanez RG565 and a Chapman ML3-Bea that have those configs, but I would like another guitar with these pickups. Very nice builds!!
Would be interested to see if you build custom guitars for clients? Also, do you have links where you get those bodies?
Awesome builds on these, I like the finish ideas on all three. Something about the thinner finish and not the super thick plastic like paint finish most brands use, just gives me a better feel for the guitar. I've been itching to do a natural unfinished body with either black or maybe platinum parts.
Congratulations, looks like a great guitar.
Great guitars....great video!
Thanks for watching!
Love the builds. I've been using the DiMarzio Satch Track neck pickups lately and really like them now over the air Norton. They are a little lower In output and eq'd different.
Thanks! I may check out that pickup. Always open to a swap. Thanks for watching!
That’s killer dude!
Thanks bro!
I've always thought the Les Paul Custom Black Beauty is the prettiest guitar ever made! Sounds awesome brother!
Thanks Ferd! Surely a bucket list guitar. Happy that I pulled the trigger. Thanks for checking it out.
That Joe Perry "tribute" is ridonkulous! I LOVE IT!
Thanks! I always thought that was a cool guitar. Thanks for watching!
Very cool!! You have inspired me to build a couple of partcasters as I have a lot of guitar parts laying around and what better way to put those parts to use.
Nice! Let’s see em when you’re done!
Now that's a nice guitar !
She’s a beaut!
Love your guitar porn brother! I'm wondering...Have you ever painted a floyd rose? I just installed my 1st one on one of my strats (almost a disaster) but turned out great in the end. I'm thinking a ceracote treatment like they put on firearms. Basically, bake it on. Any advice would be appreciated!
I have never done that. If you have experience with that let me know how it goes. If I would ever want a certain color I would probably just snag one off FU-Tone. Thanks for watching!
Beauty! Cheers 40 Grit.
Thanks Trev!
Great guitars 40 Grit 💯 Well built 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Thanks Mikey!
Sounds great!! BTW, I'll be using the Texas Ghost at my Danzig tribute (Godless/Blackwings) gig this Saturday!
And the Texas Ghost lives on!
Cool builds, I’m building a couple as we speak.
Let’s see em when you’re done!
What an Iconic guitar. Fun review 40 Grit 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Really cool guitar. Thanks for watching Mikey!
who made the bodys?
Pcguitars on eBay.
Sounds and looks great, congratulations on such a nice acquisition!
Thanks for watching!!
Hey buddy, you deleted some short videos, it was because because of music/authorship rights? I would love to see that ESP Joe Perry, I should make a long video of it sometime, it would be awesome!
Oh! Well I’ll do a walk around on that. Cool guitar! I deleted some shorts due to music but they are all still on my instagram @40gritguitars Thanks Felipe!
Some guitar collection 😍 Where's the Night Ranger Brad Gillis guitar? 😅
Not a fan of red my friend. Great player and I’m a Night Ranger fan. Just not a big fan of that guitar. Thanks for watching!
Damn that thing is stunning!
Just played it yesterday! Plays better than she looks. Thanks for watching!
You still have the EVH pickup, I will buy it from you if you want to sell it..also what model # of kill switch and did you wire between the volume and the output?
I get switches from Tesi switch. I believe the 10mm is a drop in on the volume or tone hole. I put the Evh in something else but they are all over eBay. Thanks for watching!
@@40gritguitars thanks for the info...I love the EVH frankie pickup....the EVH wolfgang pickup is good too, but the frankie is killer
The 2024/25 version is OUTSTANDING!!! Far more superior imho.
Yea I saw it at NAMM. Double edge sword IMO. Can’t go wrong with either. Cool guitars. Thanks for watching!
Robert is also my Rep at Sweetwater. They They cancelled my pre order as they "sold out". Too late to find another seller before the opportunists started selling them for big bucks online. Not happy with MXR, Sweetweater, or the scumbag sellers who bought them all up to rips us off. Done with all of them now.
Robert is great, always been good to me. I still have mine! No interest in selling. Give it a minute, I’m sure you will land one for a decent price. Thanks for watching!
They could have told us sooner than they did….maybe we could have located a dealer before the situation was exploited.
Yea, good point. There’s people out there that really wanted one and didn’t get it. I have a feeling MXR will be doing more.
Very nice! I have the ruby red version, can't beat the price! I have to say though it's a shame to get rid of the series/parallel switching. It sounds great in parallel and really makes a huge difference in versatility.
Not my guitar, it’s my buddy’s. He wanted it old school. Thanks for watching!
is this the Kramer 1983 Baretta Reissue alittle over 2k? or is it the Kramer Baretta Original Series? about 800? My favorite guitars man!! very classy nice job!
This is a reissue. Street price around $500 I believe. Thanks for watching!
Question: I noticed a D-Tuna won’t work with the Floyd Rose that comes with this guitar because it hits the top when it’s in and not in the dropped D position. Is this why you installed a 1984 version? Thanks!!
No, I just preferred the OFR. They set up and play better in my opinion. You can fix that issue by changing neck angle.
Excellent guitar…I like that you removed the switch from the middle position…I’m more like 75% playing 25% repairs cuz I suck at repairs…I always end up with something wonky😫
Switch is in a ziplock for a possible future project! IMO, it looked better without. Gotta find a good repair guy. Thanks for watching!
What do you think of this all together.
Cool guitar! Played great.
What would be a good replacement bridge for that direct drop
OFR!
What would be a replacement tuner for those reissues .
Gotoh or Schaller would suffice.
You might want to look at that low e string it way to close to the edge of that fretboard..
Yea I addressed it in the video. I may fix it. Thanks for watching!
G o t o h tuners
Thanks for watching!
Those are wound pickups peavey made for Adrian .
Thanks for watching!
Very cool guitar & video 40 Grit 💯
Thanks Mikey! Thanks for being in the live.
Nice mods - I like the unobtrusive kill switch
Yea, me too! Thanks so much for your comment!
Do you live in a guitar store? Jeez, nice. I have played these evh guitars. I personally don't like my Floyd all the way back. This was set up like Eddie. I think his is set up pretty high.
I try to set as flush as possible. I prefer no pull back…. Just preference. Thanks for watching!
I agree👌 neck pickup does sound tasty!
Yea, I like. Thanks for watching!
🤩
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice “walk around” review and playing!
Thanks Rico! Let me know if you mod your Satchel.
Sounds killer
Thanks and thanks for watching!!
Badass guitar 😎🤘
Thanks so much Felipe! Glad you’re here.
🤘🏻 Bad ass🤘🏻🎸🥃
Thanks so much for watching!
Love it 40! Sounds great and looks great!
Thanks for watching Holly! Glad you are here!!
Awesome job. Looks and sounds killer! 🤘
Thanks Randy!
Sounds Great !!! LOVE THE EXTRA RELIC !!! Some of the Best !!!!
Thanks bro! Thanks for being there tonight!
Nice! I’ve got an extra one of those neck pickups laying around if you or anyone wants one.
I’ll take it!
