      Agreed, but when building a guitar, there should be more guitar music in the video. I find that a little more enjoyable. Still the first good looking headless in my opinion.

      Thank you. The gold was actually a happy accident. Originally the neck was supposed to be simply aluminum but it scratched too easily even with a clear coat. I needed to coat it in something durable. The gold came out better than I expected. And the contrast with the walnut was definitely a win.

      Magnets! I bonded two small magnets to the single coil and three magnets to the humbucker. There are matching magnets in the pickup cavities inset into the wood. The heights do not need to be adjusted because all that geometry has been figured out in CAD. They are at the perfect height.

The efficiency of its design shows up in the elegant beauty of the finished guitar. It also has the most beautiful headless design I've ever seen. It looks like a joy to play, and sounds wonderful.

      Thanks John. I watched your Red Special Trem vid. Love the clean routes on the top of the guitar. Why do you think the Brian May style Trem never really took off? Such a clean, minimal look.

    • @plexibreath
      @plexibreath 3 роки тому

      Thanks Mark! I don't know why the Red Special trem didn't take off. Maybe people think it's harder than it is to install. I find it to hit the sweet spot of the rate of pitch change per amount of movement. I have only two things issues with it. 1, after decades of using a bar, I like having the pivot point right next to my pinky so I subconsciously hook my finger around when I need it, the RS trem being so much further away I have to consciously find it to put it into action. 2, sometimes I like to hammer the back side of the bridge for that effect Lukather and Jeff Beck use, you can't to that with the Red Special. Going into this, I expected issue #2, I didn't anticipate issue #1, it's annoying to have to search of the bar. Other than those two issues it performs extremely well.

    Ive always liked the practicality of a headless guitar, evem having never played on, it makes sense. And the cool factor, but this is the first one Ive liked the aesthetic. It’s still got a headstock shape, which is a big part of the personality.
