Your issue with the neck has nothing to do with the neck, but because you didn't route the cavity for the Floyd Rose correctly. The cavity where the body plate sits on should be at least as deep as the thickness of the plate so it sits flush with the body. Making a shallow route for it was one of the reasons which caused the springs to rub against the wood. There's no problem with making the bridge pocket even deeper than that because you can always raise the bridge or add neck relief to fix an action that's too low.
Exactly. Depth at the post holes should 6.35mm and 11.18mm for the remaining route. I can’t be sure but the block looked like it was only a 32. Replacing that with a 37 or possibly a 42 would have done the trick. He would gain more flutter as well. Maybe because it’s not an original Floyd he couldn’t find a block with the correctly spaced mounting holes? I’m not knocking his efforts, I’ve been there so many times I know these numbers off the top of my head.
@@danrao3707 The Gotoh version has a thicker base plate and uses thicker posts as well. In some cases, you have to make the pocket deeper or replace the posts as well, but it's more or less a drop-in replacement.
Except if you're installing a floyd in top mount position, a greater neck angle/shallower routing is needed. But in his case, the neck pocket was routed too deep even for a recessed floyd considering the size of the shim, plus you can see that the fretboard/neck seam line is below the top of the body. For the springs issue, there is different trem block sizes for different body thickness, most common on recessed floyd is à 32mm but on a topmounted floyd you obviously need a taller block.
@@lethium4250 This is clearly not a top mount position. You only route the hole for the block in that case. This is a floating mount, which requires you to route a pocket for the bridge plate to sit flush with the body and some space under that as well so you can pull up without having the bridge angled forwards.
I think its sad when there is some toxic comments or just How some people write. The guitar community is so split. Happy to see most comments beeing supportive and nice!🤘 liked the video and i get that the name of the video is to get some extra views. This guy is honest about every wrong step and point them out in informative ways. Says he is learning by doing. Also super cool to Done the work to your first guitar showing How you grown with the Craft giving love back to the guitar that maybe got him into music. Great work and love the soumi accent! Heja Finland!🇸🇪🇫🇮
Thanks for sharing your project! This was a great presentation of the thought, work and re-thinking that goes into either building from scratch, or doing a heavy modification as with your guitar. I do similar projects, and always get a laugh when someone comments "... could have bought at new brand X", or "...could have bought 3 guitars". Those comments may be true, but what those individuals fail to realize is the eduction and experience that one gets from actually doing the work. Not much learned by handing cash to a salesperson and walking out the door with a new guitar. No challenge in that. I appreciate the errors, and your recovery from problems. Good for everyone to see and learn from. Every step of build/mod has potential problems to work around, and learn to avoid. Glad you showed those things! Good playing too, and I laughed when the string broke. These things happen, and we need to take them all in stride. Great, great project!
Great video and insight to how a guitar is made and why they can be so expensive! For a total beginner to guitars this has been an education! Fantastic work!!!
That's my kind of guy: taking a shit instrument and doing your best, with the wrong tools and with empirical knowledge, to make it a little less shit for a ton of money. I am the same and did something similar with a B-stock Harley Benton. Everything was wrong on it, from the neck alignment to the tremolo block to the bridge holes themselves, so it was completely unplayable: I then rolled up my sleeves and said, "Lol I'm a luthier" (which I'm not) and altered basically everything on there. Fun times.
New subscription! You admit the obstacles one faces in one-off build, resolve, and move forward. I appreciate the work thats put in and quite saddened by those who don't. Great job!
I tried making my own guitar and failed terribly as I made a lot of mistakes, but you my friend made me want to pick it up again as you also make mistakes but kept going. Thank you and keep up the good work! You deserve more subs
Filling wood is like that. Remember Satrianis stolen Black Dog? They closed the hole of the middle pickup. And you can see that on some pics. That is the reason why he did the "painting"... great job, dude!
Come on folks, 80% of all the money would have been labor... Kudos for showing your mishaps Jukka! Many of us have all been there! I messed up a few of my own guitars in the 1980's before I learned more and had more equipment and tools. I'd buy a used guitars and strip others to make it better..
Loved this thank you for sharing. My first guitar was a Yamaha Pacifica, as I got into lutherie it became a project guitar and over 5 years I did some of the less extreme mods you show here haha. Being a lefty player it's cheaper to upgrade sometimes while I save up for custom guitars ;-( Liked and subscribed thank you again!
I love this Video so much! Subscribed to your Channel right away and looking forward to upcoming Videos! So authentic, leaving in the mistakes, taking the viewer on a journey and showing how you solve the problems. Keep on documenting your journey! I'm looking forward to upcoming Videos :) And by the way, great woodworking skills!
i'm not an expert in woodworking but back when i was a child when i always help my dad when he has to do something, he's always pushing the planer rather than puling for a better grip and motion, i hope this helps for future works, because i love it,
Note: when you pull out frets with the intent of keeping the fretboard and re-fretting, you need a lot more TLC than what is seen here (understandably). For instance, you might cut across the wood with a razor on both sides of the fret to prevent splintering (frets have cleats that protrude out of their tangs which can pull up wood). Heating frets with a soldering iron is also common. That may be due to glue, but also to expand a little bit.
Hello Sir! This video was so inspiring to me that it literally put me to tears... I have been working on my guitar building hobbyist skills for a little while (not too long 1-2yrs). I aspire to be able to do the things that you have shown in this posting, and I really resonate with the techniques and corrections you've shown. It reveals that there is always a solution to whatever arises. Is it always worth it? Maybe not... Nevertheless, there is a way to work things through. Thank you so much for sharing all this! Stay blessed and I will be back to see what else you can teach me!
Not a lot of worries, but I like to watch this type of videos with bare bone ambience of the room. I don't know why but something about them calming and relaxing to me. the music was throwing me off in this , but all in all, great vid
Allen keys are extremely hard ,when l have cut down one in the past l have found it best to use an angle grinder .Tried it once with bolt cutters ,like you it did cut it but put two dents in the blades of the bolt cutter ....
So let me say first I think it’s great your out messing around with guitars. I think it’s super cool you’re working with your hands. As a fellow builder, measure a 100x and cut once. Also your locking nut cutting rig was pretty cool. So the part that really got my attention was the action part and adding the massive neck shim. Why wouldn’t you re-rout the Floyd and sink the posts a little deeper? Also I’m not exactly sure you need neck angle for a Floyd rose mounted bridge. I do know Les Paul’s do. Also I dig what you did with the truss rod and the whole neck itself.
First I thought „few hundred on a otherwise decent crafted body/neck? Ok but that’s too much“ Then I read it’s a first guitar and I was immediately „so worth it“ 🤣 First ones need to be treated specially. But mine is still waiting for me making money 😂 The grain of the neck is surprisingly beautiful. Maybe I would have gone with a better quality strat bridge instead of Fr but all in all. Nice job 🤘🤘
I always find shims to be unsightly, and they cause the neck to go out of alignment if the 'front toe' of the neck isn't removed. (the added angle from shimming means a few mm of the neck will trash the intonation) I like to remove what I call a 'negative shim' from the neck along with the front toe, which keeps me from having to raise the bridge as well.
The best way to scallop a fretboard is to use a round or even a half-round rasp or file with fine grain. I dont' like scalloping a fretboard, because its so easy to mess up. But you did a fine job on everything else. I found it strange to half scallop a fretboard, but I understand the reason. Why keep messing it up? Makes sense. well done.
I was confused by the thumbnail, the idea of sinking 2600 in mods to a guitar sounded a little too crazy, but I was only thinking of parts and materials, no labor. Great video though, turned out great
this is really cool sure you could have just made a new guitar from scratch for less time and money but i can see you made mistakes and taught yourself how to fix them what you learned here is worth the work especially if you had fun doing it
How long did it take? Btw that polishing neck... was not 2k of sand paper too smooth? So when your hands are little sweaty, it would get sticky? Anyways, surely learned quite a bit about building. Lots of effort!
Yeah, I got a Squier classic vibe telecaster 60 left-handed and the frets were cut off short so I tried to fix the fats man I booger that up. I just bought a new neck. I don’t have the tools though.
I made quite some modifications to my guitar that were more expensive than the guitar, too. And it makes totally sense, cause even if you bought a guitar for 2,5k you would probably not exactly get what you want if you've got very special wishes. However considering you almost changed every part of the neck anyway. You could have gotten a whole new neck instead - far less work and far less time wasted where you could've played guitar instead.
Hi! I used spray cans from a brand called Maston. They are basic car paints (acrylic). I highly suggest that you use paint and clear coat from same manufacturer. For this project I used glossy black, then sanded it and put 1-2 layers of clear coat, sanded again and last layer satin clear coat. I would use spray gun instead of cans but currently I dont have one, still those spray cans from maston were acceptable because their spray cans have fan shape spray because special nozzle,
Hyvä video kitaran rakentamisesta. Moni varmasti ihmettelee hintoja näille jitarantakentajien kitaroille, mutta ei tiedä miten monta työvaihettta ja monta tuntia näitä tehdään. Pitäähän työmiehen palkkaakin saada työstään. Ja näitähän ei tehdä 1/päivä. Laskitko monta tuntia meni tuon tekoon? Olisi hauska tietää. Itse en ole muuta tehnyt, kuin maalannut bodyn ja hionut nauhat ja semmosta pientä. Siihenkin meni aikaa tosi paljon, mutta mukavaa puuhaa kun itselle tekee. Kiitos vielä videosta.🤘
@@F15T1 tarkkaa tuntimäärää ei valitettavasti ole tiedossa, mutta lopultahan tässä oli duunia yhtäpaljon ellei enemmän kuin kokonaan uuden kitaran rakentamisessa😃👌
why not put an HSH pickup then add a coil split to get the classic strat vibe and neck always on switch to add 2 more positions neck and bridge and 3 pickups together that's what i did to my 1st project strat but sad on my part i had to use Hotrail because my cavity is SSH only :(
I don't dig the H-S-H look as well, so I completely understand him. There's something really special about a H-S strat that I can't explain, it just looks so nice.
The proceedments are not perfect, and the objective is kinda irrational but lets be honest, everyone with a shitty first beloved guitar stored on his closet/parents house (as me, as most) would looove to do something like this exactly this way, it is not the kind of work you schedule and methodically ensure for a client, is the kind of jammed work the inner child ask for yourself and i love the result and how much it is as rock: pure attitude and the desire to be cool. Great work and many thanks for sharing it
I think it is nice you have the skills to do work like this but to be honest I have over the years been able to find a replacement neck for about every guitar I own or my guitar tech has collected some over the years where other people have thrown away good necks like for my Ibanez guitars but even the fanciest Fender Neck is $399. As a carpenter if I had the tools I probably would build something like you have done but reality says for the money you spent in the neck alone I could have bought 2-3 replacements anyway... Keep up the good work
you had me all the way up till you made that shim - all that hard work you did and excellent job by the way then you slap a shim in there - why not just reroute the pocket like you did the first time but at the correct height? maybe i'm missing something - anyhow awesome work
@@infinidominion what i meant to say is reroute the pocket out glue a block back in and the reroute the pocket again at correct angle anyhow impressive job you have skills keep it up
@@redkurn I actually did that. when I did this first time it took couple weeks or month even to be visible and became even more visible when time passed, now since the clearcoat was thinner it became visible earlier. but yes you could probably minimize it by doing that and adding clear coat wait couple weeks, sand, add another clearcoat and repeat this until it doesn’t happen.
13:22 mate get rid of that textured /ridged floor matt your using as a table cloth ! Especially when you are clamping or using your drill press on a freshly sprayed instrument. It might feel soft but will easily mar your work. Go get a proper nitro safe work / bench matt they are pretty cheap and will save you an expensive lesson down the track

you had me all the way up till you made that shim - all that hard work you did and excellent job by the way then you slap a shim in there - why not just reroute the pocket like you did the first time but at the correct height? maybe i'm missing something - anyhow awesome work
Possibly could've just angled the pocket back a lil after noticing the string height
@@infinidominion what i meant to say is reroute the pocket out glue a block back in and the reroute the pocket again at correct angle anyhow impressive job you have skills keep it up
I love watching videos like this but I just can't when there's music playing. I like to hear what their doing.
I'm just wondering how you spent 2600 on mods ? Thinking you could have done the same mods for under 1000
only way to keep the lines from happening is sanding it level, then wood filler and sand again.
@@redkurn I actually did that. when I did this first time it took couple weeks or month even to be visible and became even more visible when time passed, now since the clearcoat was thinner it became visible earlier. but yes you could probably minimize it by doing that and adding clear coat wait couple weeks, sand, add another clearcoat and repeat this until it doesn’t happen.
Pawnshop will still offer $50 for it. Thats the problem with so many custom builds. Gotoh floyd is great though.
Very cool project.
13:22 mate get rid of that textured /ridged floor matt your using as a table cloth ! Especially when you are clamping or using your drill press on a freshly sprayed instrument. It might feel soft but will easily mar your work. Go get a proper nitro safe work / bench matt they are pretty cheap and will save you an expensive lesson down the track
experience: priceless
Love the Bender sticker lol
For bender guitar you should use dackson pickup and floyd jasmine tremolo😂
