Yes Darrell everything that I imagined you did, you put chrome hardware, you leave the bridge cover on and you also put some maple stuff in this build well done brother!!
Darell could you do a review on the the super v mag lock it’s made by the Same people as the blade runner tremelo and it’s supposed to solve the fatel flaw you mentioned in another video i wanna see if it really works sense it’s a hefty investment and if you could do a full review ide really apriciat it
Do they make locking tuners that are not staggered height? Also can you sell this guitar as a real fender since it has a serial number and you used fender parts?
Beautiful build; L-O-V-E that neck humbucker !!! Great tone from both pickups. BTW, I never fail to laugh watching your intro when you trip and fall in the snow after throwing that acoustic on the roof !!! Too funny !!!
Brother. I can't stress enough oh how well u run your channel in every way ur channel and format is just leaves above your competitors. I'm proud to be a subscriber and as always u are killing in the perfect tone department
Great build, heres a tip for putting in the ferrules in the back of the body, heat up a soldering iron and push them in. It heats up the wood and doesn’t damage the finish
Great video and I'm so glad there were some fixable issues you corrected on camera. I've made mental notes that sometimes a longer screw can make a difference and sanding the neck pocket is smarter than sanding the neck.
Darrell, you should try installing the knobs with the screw fitting in between the 2 halves of the post. That way it won't be tilted. Beautiful guitar!
I know it is just two compatible pieces of wood for a guitar, but these 2 are tight and resonant. I like to say it's magic. It can have the specs, but sometimes they just sound right. That is a great guitar, Darrell.
Darrell you have such great taste in guitar parts! You could make your whole channel just building partscasters. And then you could sell them when you're done with the video.
Thanks to you I bought my first guitar. It’s a fender Stratocaster it came with a case, pick, basic amp, cords, straps, and free 3 months lessons. Wasn’t my top choice but it was a great deal
Darrel, you do know what you're doing and build beautiful guitars. But I install both E strings and check their spacing on the neck before I mount the bridge. Then line up the set screws in the knobs with the split in the pot shaft. That way the screws will seat themselves into the edge of the shaft and won't try to force the split closed. Beautiful guitar!!!
I agree - it sounds beautiful, and has looks to match. The body is spectacular. Still don't like the wood insert in the neck pickup, but it sounds great!
Nice build. A little shielding on the back of that bridge plate helps with the noise, and little beeswax on any screws or parts that go into the body prevent any future slippage or gaps that will allow wood to dry out, things like that. Looks like shielding paint in those cavities, I did a build and did both shielding paint and a second layer in some spots of copper foil, and the axe is as a sleeping kitten. Those are just little finishing touches that are kind of nice things, you never get that on a store-bought guitar. Nice build.
Sir your best build ever Its sound so creamy with the test of Tale That's guitar is very beautiful and sound awesome it's very unique in its own Keep it up with your work sir May GOD bless you Love you from India
Beautiful tele, tip to foxy tail!!! I'm really lovin that channeled neck, looks so clean, and all wood! All the right parts in all the right places, well, eventually. If it went perfect I might be suspicious, or jealous, but not surprised!!! Thanks for your continued time and expertise!!!
Thanks great video. Nice sounding pickups. Please next video can you show more in details how you solder/conect the wires that would be very helpful. Its sad that many videos out there just leave out that part.
The new axe looks and sounds great, Darrell. Congrats! You and I have some different tastes, of course. I would have gone with a Strat-style body (never was a fan of the Tele look), a vibrato over a hard tail, and maybe two humbuckers rather than one. If I did have single coils, the bridge pickup would still be a humbucker in my build, because even in my twenties, I didn't like the idea of a humbucker at the neck position with a single coil in the bridge spot. This is, however, why we have 10K styles of guitars out there, and why building your own can be so fulfilling. I have yet to take that plunge, so watching your videos on the subject provide instruction and inspiration to me. Thank you, and congrats again!
That bridge single coil with that amp setting, was a straight dose of Hendrix to my ears. That humbucker was thicc! 😂 I might do this to my budget, borderline garbage tele! Inspiring!
Very attractive T-style guitar! Sounds great too! A little old timers building tip, always use a mall amount of wax or even soap on the screw threads that are being set into wood. This will help prevent twisting off screws or stripping out the head, just makes everything easier.
What you have there is one of the most gorgeous guitar bodies I've ever seen anywhere. My only concern (and it is a minor one) is the cream colored neck pickup. I think a black one would lend itself better to the overall presentation. This is only my own suggestion and it is only as worthy as it might be serviceable. That is, I am happy to add, one of best looking Tele necks I think I'ver seen! You scored buddy!
Man... I already loved your channel... having bumped into it, a few days ago.. in my quest for my 1st electric 6 string. This one made me a believer.. What a great tele project..! Just subscribed ! Kudos from Portugal !
Sounds awesome. You could probably benefit from a shim in the neck. The neck pocket seems a little shallow, your saddle screws are really buried. Give the neck a little forward angle, bringing the nut up, pushing the strings down toward the body.
Very much enjoyed watching this build getting a Telecaster myself very soon you did a nice job turned out to be a great guitar hope you have a blast with a buddy
Way cool!!! You prove every time that building guitars is way more rewarding than just buying them. Not to mention saving the fortune that the custom shop would charge for something like this!!
Happy 600k! Hey Darrell I was wondering if you could do a video about taking one single coil and keep trying different magnet bars on it to see how it affects the tone?
Awesome! You inspired me Darrell to create my own high end American fender telecaster thinline with a nitro body! Less than half of what off the shelf would have cost and I have some handwound custome boutique pickups that were wound just for me by Montys in London!
Wow, gorgeous guitar and build! The neck pick-up sounds so thick and amazing. Excellent job! I build Marshall Plexi re-pro's, and now it might be time to dive into a guitar build. You and Brad are inspiring me!
That looks and sounds amazing...Love that tele....beautiful guitar.. I would love to own one like it..also a p90 in the neck would be a cool build.....
Awesome build! Love this pickup combo for a Tele....I have an older MIM Tele Special with a Quarter Pounder in the bridge and Pearly Gates in the neck....5 way switch with the Qtr Pounder coil tapped, lots of different tones can be had with this layout.
Beauty and best feeling have a new toy! I just got my custom Jem which has only body same as Jem. All other stuff around it is different. Gotoh 510 bridge etc. because I didnt want floyd rose a matter of taste. It is hybrid monster top of my head ha ha. Works really well.
It's so pretty. Lovely build. I'd like to thank you for a totally different reason. I bought a Telecaster HHCustom in 2012. It was a beautiful guitar, I was so blinded by its beauty that I failed to judge it's playability, it was so poorly set up that it constantly left me disappointed. Then I accidentally came across a video you shared about setting up a guitar ... sent me off in the right direction. After tweaking everything that you had mentioned and finding another great instructional video on setting up humbuckers my beautiful HH Custom now (feels) like it looks. Thanks for all the great videos :) 👍👍
Oh BABY! Enjoy the build!
Tones at 11:50 :)
Love this series Darrell! Beautiful guitar you’ve created.
I love that warm vintage tone...
Yes Darrell everything that I imagined you did, you put chrome hardware, you leave the bridge cover on and you also put some maple stuff in this build well done brother!!

Darrel Braun I had a really garbage day today and finally seeing this guitar come alive made it significantly better. Looks and sounds fantastic.
Finally? It's been 2 days
Callum Hayes crazy eh! I've got a build on here, started back around ... ohhhh ... 1985 or so ...
@@callumhayes9733 he showed off the body and was talking about it a month ago.
His attitude is just too amazing.
I love how happy and polite he always is.
Reminds me of Bob Ross a bit.
@@JimmyFeelsIt
He is so relaxed and chill
Furthermore he is a great builder and explains so clearly
My favorite channel
Happy 600k Darrell! Nothing like a new guitar to celebrate early
600k is probably the amount he has spent on guitars
Beautiful build; L-O-V-E that neck humbucker !!! Great tone from both pickups. BTW, I never fail to laugh watching your intro when you trip and fall in the snow after throwing that acoustic on the roof !!! Too funny !!!
Brother. I can't stress enough oh how well u run your channel in every way ur channel and format is just leaves above your competitors. I'm proud to be a subscriber and as always u are killing in the perfect tone department
This guitar is a stunner
Sounds great too
I might steal this neck pickup's look
FENDER TELECASTER SIGNATURE GUITAR
DARREL BRAUN
COOL OH YEAH
Let's be honest I feel fender made it, it would cost at least 5 grand. ( That flame maple)
@@trevelyanjoelpakkari1720 not really it should be about 2000-3000
600K subscribers.. lol
Go ahead to 1 Million! One of the best channels of guitar and all other stuffs on UA-cam.
Thanks for all! I appreciate.
Bruh, love to see ya smiling and enjoying stuff ya love in these insane times. The guitar came out BEAUTIFUL 😊
I gritted my teeth when you fitted the toggle switch. Lovely flame and really dig the soulful humbucker.
Great build, heres a tip for putting in the ferrules in the back of the body, heat up a soldering iron and push them in. It heats up the wood and doesn’t damage the finish
Great video and I'm so glad there were some fixable issues you corrected on camera. I've made mental notes that sometimes a longer screw can make a difference and sanding the neck pocket is smarter than sanding the neck.
First time ever in any UA-cam video I have watched a whole build!
Do some more they awesome
Looks beautiful and sounds even better!
Darrell, you should try installing the knobs with the screw fitting in between the 2 halves of the post. That way it won't be tilted. Beautiful guitar!

Seeing him very happy about the guitar made me feel better. Wish I had one too so I can be as happy as him.
My favorite part of this build is the body flame and color. I also like the sound of the hum bucker.
Darrell's videos make my weeks more special! Especially if there's a build! Great job Darrell!
Your guitar is one of the best looking Stats that I have ever seen! Sounds great too.
Best looking, best sounding guitar you've had on the show to date. Well done.
Beautiful Build!!! Looks like a Fender Custom Shop Special Order Tele.Rock On!!!👍👍✌️
Darrel, you do know what you're doing and build beautiful guitars. But I install both E strings and check their spacing on the neck before I mount the bridge. Then line up the set screws in the knobs with the split in the pot shaft. That way the screws will seat themselves into the edge of the shaft and won't try to force the split closed.

The body looks like the reflection of a sunset on the oceans wavy horizon 🌅. Great build
I agree - it sounds beautiful, and has looks to match. The body is spectacular. Still don't like the wood insert in the neck pickup, but it sounds great!
I think I would be tempted to stain that cover amber or orange-amber or very dark to work better with the body
The brass saddles go hand in hand with that colour!
Clean tones sounded fine! Rockin guitar. Don't no how I missed this build!
Wow that is spectacular!
That tele sound incredible and that neck pickup is gorgeous
I’m glad I didn’t have to wait too long for the build video!
Nice build. A little shielding on the back of that bridge plate helps with the noise, and little beeswax on any screws or parts that go into the body prevent any future slippage or gaps that will allow wood to dry out, things like that.

Darrell, that did turn out nicely after all. Nice job!
That's now a high, high-end guitar. The look is fabulous and those pickups, WOW! Very nice Darrell
what an INCREDIBLE bridge pickup tone for a tele.
Happy 600k Darrel
What a gorgeous finish!
Lovely looking axe
Sir your best build ever
Its sound so creamy with the test of Tale
That's guitar is very beautiful and sound awesome it's very unique in its own
Keep it up with your work sir
May GOD bless you
Love you from India

And that’s why teles are the best guitar. Awesome tones and a looker!
I am thrilled with your new build! Sounds awesome! I know you must be very happy as well.
You can tell you love that neck pickup 😊
Thanks great video. Nice sounding pickups. Please next video can you show more in details how you solder/conect the wires that would be very helpful. Its sad that many videos out there just leave out that part.

I didn't think that porter would match as good as it does to the Lambertone blonde. Sounds fantastic.
I waited for this..
And wow😮. Congrats to you sir, for this build.
Very attractive T-style guitar! Sounds great too!
A little old timers building tip, always use a mall amount of wax or even soap on the screw threads that are being set into wood. This will help prevent twisting off screws or stripping out the head, just makes everything easier.
Reminds me of a Tom Anderson. Beautiful flame, modern styling, high end parts. Great build!

I definitely love the channel bound neck more than neck bindings!! So beautiful 😍
That maple humbucker really looks well with the neck. Great combo. It looks amazing on video!
Awesome...both the looks of your Tele and the tones...wow!
Man... I already loved your channel... having bumped into it, a few days ago.. in my quest for my 1st electric 6 string.
This one made me a believer.. What a great tele project..! Just subscribed !
Kudos from Portugal !
Your videos are giving me the courage to try a build for myself.
Belly carve and forearm curve would have been the icing on the cake!
Exactly right. That is how I ordered my Warmoth T body.
@@P_Ezi nice
Love your channel bro, a lot of help for my own projects, thanks a lot!
When putting the knobs on, it's recommended that you line up the set screw with the split on the pot shaft
Even better - purchase press-fit knobs instead of the set screw type when using split-shaft pots!
Set screws are for solid shaft pots.
Again? I love watching him build his dream guitar(s). should make it a series.
A beautiful guitar that produces some beautiful sounds. Amazing hambucker... Way to go Darell!
Linda guitarra! Timbre matador!
Beautiful guitar! Killer tone!
Gongrats' Darrel!
Awesome build Darrell! The body is so beautiful and the HB wood grain with the channel neck matches nicely.
Sounds amazing man! Glad to see you finally play a guitar of your dreams!
I thought his 10S Emerald Green T style was his ideal guitar...
Sounds awesome. You could probably benefit from a shim in the neck. The neck pocket seems a little shallow, your saddle screws are really buried. Give the neck a little forward angle, bringing the nut up, pushing the strings down toward the body.
You earned it, you deserve it- Hapoy 600 and many more!
She's beautiful. I love these build videos man! I'm finally doing a Warmoth build myself this winter :) gonna use your videos as a guide.
Very good job, and good sounds! The guitar is gorgeous!!
You're ready for the custom shop!
Absolutely gorgeous looking tele!
Beautiful!
Both visually and sonically! 😍👍
Beautiful guitar. Man that neck is something special
Very much enjoyed watching this build getting a Telecaster myself very soon you did a nice job turned out to be a great guitar hope you have a blast with a buddy
I think you just built MY dream Tele. Just WOW.
I was in the need of another epically awesome DB build. I love the fact that you used Lambertone pickups. This thing is killer.
Way cool!!! You prove every time that building guitars is way more rewarding than just buying them. Not to mention saving the fortune that the custom shop would charge for something like this!!
I'm pretty certain Merle Haggard would approve. Very nice build dude.
This has got to be at least the third “dream guitar” build 😂 always awesome stuff Darrel hope to see more builds in the future!
That neck pickup sounds beautiful
Happy 600k! Hey Darrell I was wondering if you could do a video about taking one single coil and keep trying different magnet bars on it to see how it affects the tone?
Hey Darrell. Congrats on surpassing 600k subscribers!! Well deserved!! My to go-to guitar channel. Keep up the great content!
Awesome looking Tele, love the body and the neck... Nice build by you!!! Sounds great.
Awesome! You inspired me Darrell to create my own high end American fender telecaster thinline with a nitro body! Less than half of what off the shelf would have cost and I have some handwound custome boutique pickups that were wound just for me by Montys in London!
Man I love teles and the tele body style in general. They’re my favorite body shape.
Sweet looking guitar
Wow, gorgeous guitar and build!
The neck pick-up sounds so thick and amazing.
Excellent job! I build Marshall Plexi re-pro's, and now it might be time to dive into a guitar build.
You and Brad are inspiring me!
You add so much enjoyment into my life!
Outstanding DARRELL!!!⭐️⭐️🎸⭐️⭐️
The body is fire! But that neck is the best! It would be great if Fender started doing all their necks this way.
17:09 looks like your high E string is just a tad too close to rolling off the edge of the fretboard. Other than that, its GORGEOUS.
Nice spotting, it is too close. It should be fixed.
I’m not normally a fan of tele style guitars, but this thing is one heck of a guitar! Can’t wait to see it in future vids
That looks and sounds amazing...Love that tele....beautiful guitar.. I would love to own one like it..also a p90 in the neck would be a cool build.....
Came out very nice ! That top is stunning. Sounds great: enjoy !!
Awesome build! Love this pickup combo for a Tele....I have an older MIM Tele Special with a Quarter Pounder in the bridge and Pearly Gates in the neck....5 way switch with the Qtr Pounder coil tapped, lots of different tones can be had with this layout.
