Hey there Brad. It's been awhile since you and I have talked. A few years ago you helped me with some advice on an engine I was painting for my truck. It turned out awesome in case you don't remember. It was by far the hardest paint job I'd personally had ever done. It was a deep candy red sorta. Ended up being a three stage paint job. I had a lot of blushing problems. As well as a few other issues. Anyway, I just want to thank you for all your help and advice. That paint job inspired me to really get into automotive paint and body. After 20 years of building and fixing cars and trucks. Yet totally running as fast and far away from painting them as humanly possible. I'm now doing custom paint. Pearls, flakes, color shift, ect.
After becoming disabled more than ten years ago and having to stop working (if you want to call it that. I enjoyed my work to the point it wasn't work). I became extremely depressed and had pretty much given up. But now with painting I've found that spark that we all look for in life again. And it all pretty much started with that engine paint job you helped me with.
So I just wanted to reach out to you Brad and say Thank You for taking the time to help me!! You did so much more than help a guy with a paint job!! Again, Thank You So Much Brad!!!
Thank you Charles. I appreciate you reaching to tell me that, and I’m very happy for you.
I’ll be building mine this winter, thanks for a fantastic series 🇨🇦🏍️
Refreshing to hear a demo by someone who sounds like me and not Joe Satriani. Loving you work Brad ))
Thanks Ian
Very nice!!! Not only can he build, but by George he can play!!! Excellent work!!!
Thank you; I appreciate that.
Was literally gonna do the same build and I just happened to find the holy grail of instructions. Thanks dude 👍
Glad I could help
Same
@@killswitch5738 good luck dude! 🤘
@@dragonmastersteve thanks, you too, my profile pic is the design I am going with.
Thanks for your sharing your knowledge
Brad underselling his guitar chops and then shredding it. We got you figured out, bro. 😆 Guitar looks awesome and sounds great, too.
Haha you're onto me.
Nice! I'm painting mine tomorrow. Not sure whether to paint the neck, as its already been finished?
I generally don't paint the neck if I can avoid it. Did it on this one because it was the customer's request.
Beautiful guitar, well made and well played!
P.S. I've got two kits on order because of your videos! Best wishes from the 🇬🇧 my friend!!
Cheers Alan
I don't know how it feels playing but it looks and sounds great, as always.
Feels smooth to me. Action is nice and the fret ends are good. The neck is a little chunkier than I usually go for, but some people prefer that.
Nice sounding axe. Love a Di Marzio. Satch swears by them
You should do a video on how to set intonation on these DIY kits.
It's the same way you set intonation on any tunomatic bridge; which I discussed in the video before this one.
Looks great and sounds great! Looking forward to seeing the guitar build-off!
Thanks!
Looks and sounds great man! Thanks for all your helpful tutorials!!
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching.
A very nice result
Thanks Rob
Sounds great man. Wicked build.
Thanks Ben. I’m glad you like it.
Please show a video of how you repaired the finish. Great sounds!
Ok, that's probably a good idea.
@@BradAngove yeah, I was wondering about that. Is it a case of just giving it a sand down with a high grit paper and then a polish? Is there a way to avoid shrinkage like that? Cheers.
It depends how much clear you have on there. Often it requires sanding back mostly smooth and then adding another couple coats before doing the sand and polish stage.
Krikeys Brad, you'll do 'til a good guitarist comes along! The SG looks and sounds great.
Haha thanks Seth. Glad you like it.
Bruhhhhhh it looks so good!!!!
Thank you
Nice job on this Brad & playing better !!
Thanks Terry
Great looking Guitar... keep up the cool stuff
Thanks, will do!
Best build yet!
Thanks Pete. Glad you like it.
Very good job!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Sounds nice and looks great.
Thank you Paul
I know what it is. The paint and clear are two different types. If you do acrylic pain, you must do acrylic clear. If you do poly paint, you need poly clear. Mix and match will cause shrinking and/or cracking.
Not with this product. It’s specifically designed to go under a poly clear, not acrylic. That’s what I always use it with.
@@BradAngove oh really? Wow I had issues before with other paint. Good to know. Btw you did a great job on the guitar.
Thanks. The auto-air and wicked paints are specifically for automotive applications so if you’re looking for an automotive acrylic that works with 2K those are good options.
Man, if you're as bad at guitar as you claim you are, then I totally need one of these guitars, because it sounded great!
I was quite pleased with how this one sounded. Those PAFs are nice.
Reminds me of the esp / ltd viper deluxe ! Excellent work as always brad. 💯 the noodling is getting better too, Dont be too hard on yourself brother.
Thanks Dan. Glad you like it.
good... god.... holy lord.... o' lord... the noises
Sounds really good and books great!
Thanks Jay!
Yeah, and looks great too lol
Looks and sound fantastic Brad! I've had a problem with a few clear coats doing funky things only this last month! Even had to strip an almost 95% completed re fin back to wood! Om sure you will fix it tho. And great playing......
Thanks Stu. It’s a frustrating thing to have happen. I think I need to buy a new gallon.
@@BradAngove I actually think it wasy thinners ( anti bloom) going bad making the finish drying in a strange way. Stuff is bloody expensive and costs just as much as the paint!
Looks good. Sounds good. 👌
Thanks Brian
Hey Brad, thanks for making so many informative videos, you've helped me immensely! I just purchased this kit and will be attempting a similar process to what you've done in this series. I'm just wondering about one thing: Did you do any sanding of the back/neck before you moved to painting? I've done a kit build with mahogany before and I needed to gain fill + seal before I was able to get an acceptable gloss finish but it looks like you just went to black base coat -> clear -> polish on this one (excluding the flame top). I'm planning on using Mohawk vinyl sealer + clear nitro gloss and just not sure on what my filling/sanding process should look like on the back/sides/neck.
I sanded all of that to 400 grit before moving on to the black. Typically I would start with a transparent sealer though. I just took a slightly unusual approach to this one.
@@BradAngove awesome, thanks for that clarification. cheers!
Good luck on guitar challenge build off!
Thank you!
Benn lurking for a while now Brad and that is amongst the best you have done, sounds awesome. What are the electrics you are using (switches, pickups, pots etc.)? I know it will be somewhere in the previous videos but that is a lot to sift through!
Dimarzio PAF pickups with the emerson upgrade wiring kit from Solo.
Honestly, I wish everyone who does guitar demos would just start exactly the way you did with this one, with a couple of open chords, maybe add a few barre chords and single notes on the three pickup selector switch settings, and THEN show everybody their chops if that’s what they want. I like to hear phenomenal guitar playing as much as anybody, but when I’m listening to a demo, I want to hear what the GUITAR sounds like, not how many legato or alternate picked notes somebody can play with a great vibrato hand, tons of overdrive, reverb, and delay. There are a couple of guys who do what I described, and I’m usually happy as hell to skip the rest, once I’ve heard the guitar’s “voice.” Then there’s another guy who really likes to palm mute EVERY NOTE, making it impossible to tell what the instrument even remotely sounds like. Drives me crazy, man. Sorry for the rant, but I just really hope you keep doing what you did at the beginning of this one, even when you get all amazing as a guitarist. Thanks again, man.
Thanks James. I’m glad the beginning of the demo doesn’t bore people.
No concern about me getting to be a great guitarist. You guys see almost every time I play guitar haha. It’s not often to say the least.
Yeah, you don’t see me uploading any videos of myself playing solo and I’ve been messing around with it for 56 years. I’m not in any danger of being a guitar hero anytime soon hahaa.
Sounds nice.
Thanks Jerry
Looks and sounds great! Be proud brother it came out nice,.....and yeah if ya sell that kh- 203 I get first dibs ok lol
this type of build turned my soft maple built guitar into a hard real quick without blue pills. also...also do a crimson guitar or a 7 string kit non sg style and ill go from soft wood to hard too... aznd do a multi color galaxy space like finish and ill pay a premium but seriously love your builds soft or hard we get the wood everytime!!!!!!!
Haha wow. Well, not to be a tease, but I am participating in the great guitar buildoff with Crimson guitars, and every participant is using one of their kits.
Been a bit but you have gotten big out there! Nice collection of guitars! How is the lawyer thing going?
It’s going pretty well. Crazy busy as always. How are you?
Brad Angove miss working on guitars hopefully get some work going and get to do it again. Doing pedals well some of them.
Sounds great, like an SG should! Was waiting to here some Sabbath, but oh well...
You're waiting on me to get a demo guy who can play Sabbath haha.
Very nice, COVID-19 practice time is laying dividends.
Haha I wish I had a bit more COVID practice time.
This is more or less what I invision when I think of badass SG. Even if they all are.
Awesome. Glad you like it.
Cool, dude.
Thanks man
Nice job bud 👍✌😎
Thanks Mark
What would happen if you used wipe on poly on a guitar sanded to 3000 grit would it stick or would it produce a bad finish thank you
If you’re talking about over a sanded finish, it likely would not stick properly and you would risk delamination.
How many coats of clear do you usually do, when burying a vinyl graphic?
usually 8
Brad Angove thanks, do you shoot 8 coats in one session, or do you leave it to cure after 2-3 coats?
brad its been awhile since you posted this video but is there a list of parts used
I don’t think there’s a list, but I remember most of them. They’re all from solo guitars. Is there something specific you’re looking for, or the full list?
There’s an old video where I unbox all of the upgrade parts as well.
@@BradAngove have watched all the videos thats why I was wondering if there was a list so I could copy the master
I remember the important items:
Ratio tuners
Graph tech Tusq nut
Seymour Duncan PAF pickups
Gibson tuneomatic bridge
Emerson wiring harness
Sg sounds great,But l still like to see that metal strat complete.
Pickups came in this week. Should have that one wrapped up shortly!
Have you ever tried odies oil if so whag are your opinions for a good hard guitar finish
I haven't tried it. It looks like a good finish though.
When you were demoing it sounded like the M.A.S.H theme song at first
Interesting; I haven’t heard that one in ages.
Maybe I missed it, but how is it headstock dive?
There are no issues with headstock dive on this one.
That was awesome Brad!!! Will you join my band? We're looking for a triangle player.
I'm more of a cowbell guy personally.
Always room for more cowbell ...
Did They change the body shapes? September 2020
I think they had to a little bit, yes.
@@BradAngove any idea about someone selling kit with proper shape?
I haven’t been able to find anyone who does that now that Gibson has decided to... you know...
Ya know Brad, it's actually good to hear someone who plays like the rest of us regular folks, not bad but not Jimmy Page either lol. Actually I think you play guitar pretty good so stop your complaining lol. now about what the clear coat is doing, I forget but did you use the Mohawk spray on nitro? If you did I am starting to get a little concerned about it as a good product to use. But it seems to me you used something else lol. Hey did you know that if you put regular vinyl on a board, like the Oracal 651 type of vinyl, and you spray it with Nitro, it curls the edges of the vinyl right up? Lol. I am trying to make wood signs and flags and such things as a way to earn extra money and I used the wipe on poly on a sign with some blue stain, yeah, not good lol. The wipe on turns yellow as you know and well yellow and blue make? a nasty looking sign lol! So I was going to just use regular fast drying Poly but thought about the nitro in the spray can and decided to use it. Luckily I just put a few pieces of scrap vinyl on a scrap board and hit that with the nitro, the next morning all the edges of the vinyl were curled up and hard as a rock lol. What do you recommend to seal the ends of the boards? When I go to put the stain and then the clear coat on man do those end grains suck up the clear coat!! I just bought a can of wood sealer but it's nothing more than spray on poly!! Is that basically what all wood sealers are just poly or lacquer?
This wasn’t the nitro it was an automotive poly that was a bit older. Nitro will fry up some vinyls for sure because it is solvent heave.
*heavy
@@BradAngove Oh yeah that's right, you used that automotive stuff. I wonder if it did this because it was old or could it be because it's not on metal?
Sounds great dude! And some kickass playing there.
Thanks Ron. I'll get that finish shrinking sorted out, and then you can take it for a rip. Switch tip came in today; just waiting on the knobs (story of your life I know).
@@BradAngove all these people I'm forced to work with 🙄
Sounds better than my ibanez RG... Which costs over 1000 $...😭
Probably has similar pickups.
