  • On this video I'll explain what changes I did to the "regular" buckhead Chibson guitar you can find on AliExpress.
    If you want to know the seller, just watch the video.
    I'm not associated in any way with the seller or Aliexpress
    I'll add the links for the DI's once I upload them.

    I've been considering getting a custom made Buckethead guitar. Bad Cat Instruments out of Northern China may be a good choice. They offer 14 days for full refund on returns and a two year warranty. And there's a couple review videos on youtube by happy customers.

    • @bhcguitarreviews6923
      @bhcguitarreviews6923  7 років тому

      I didn't know abou them and I just saw their website. Have you played on one of their instruments? They are more expensive than at AliExpress and you get a lot of buyer protection buying from AE.

    • @BOTzerker
      @BOTzerker 7 років тому

      +Buckethead_Chibson No, I just learned of them from the other customers on youtube. I like how they're legit using their own name. Regarding your Buckethead clone, the pickups and hardware were not gibson, and the fretboard is not richlite. And I'm sure the chambering of the body is not the same as the original, but is the body an oversized LP standard?

    • @bhcguitarreviews6923
      @bhcguitarreviews6923  7 років тому

      I don't know about the chambering. You're correct about the rest. Also, I only found a couple of videos about Bad Cat, I like what I see tho, but I don't like the idea of not having a safe wall like AliExpress in case something goes wrong.

    • @BOTzerker
      @BOTzerker 7 років тому

      I looked at the few sellers offering a "buckethead" on aliexpress and the guitars are not even 27" scale. I believe you requested and received 27" scale, but it should be a default spec of their version. Otherwise, anyone buying their "buckethead" is getting it for looks and kill switches. (I could add a kill switch to any of my guitars.) I'm interested in an authentic buckethead for the unique playing experience, but I cannot afford one and willing to compromise somethings. Things like the pickups (temporarily), the hardware, the finish process, and the chambering. I don't expect the sellers to know the special finish process or the special chambering used by Gibson on the buckethead. However, an oversized body and the correct scale length is possible.

      It does look like mahogany. I heard once the they get some kind of Mahagony from the Philippines or some place like that.

  • @scheichi2000
    @scheichi2000 6 років тому +1

    The problem isn't that the kill switches are to big on the other models, but that the guitar body is too small (standard LP size) , -> Buckethead has a bigger body on his Les Paul. (you can see this very good on different comparison videos of Bucketheads LP vs a standard LP)
    Most sellers are putting standard sized arcade buttons in there Buckethead copy.(only a few do see how rediculous this looks, and manage to get smaller Kill Switches, to fit the standard LP from factor)

  • @littlebeard456

    Does your guitar have an oversized body? If not that's why maybe the pickups were not spaced properly

    • @bhcguitarreviews6923
      @bhcguitarreviews6923  7 років тому +1

      It doesn't I'm currently working with the seller to see if we can make one with an oversized body. That is part of problem but they could have drilled the hole for the pickups on the correct place. I think they were lazy or didn't know about that.

I’m sure he’d be happy knowing someone was a big enough fan to even buy a guitar that looks like his regardless of price and whether he got a cut for it or not
