I know, I know, another partscaster... but this isn't just any partscaster. I’m starting on a build that will eventually belong to one of you viewers! I’m using a Squier SE Stratocaster as a basis, because it’s a near perfect upgrade platform. I’ve gotten a donation of several parts from one of our viewers (thanks, Mike!), and we’re both excited to put a guitar into some lucky player’s hands. This will be a multi-part build (probably 3 parts), and the actual giveaway will be announced in the coming weeks, once this guitar is complete.

That's gonna be a nice guitar for someone. I really like the blacked out look with that pickguard. Nice choice.
Thanks, I hope someone loves it!
That's going to be a sweet looking Strat.
That’s the plan!
building a guitar is always fun!
Yes, keeps me busy!
Great looking guitar! Good luck to everyone who enters
Definitely. I am drafting the rules and getting everything prepared. Should kick off in about 2-3 weeks.
Hotod strat , love it 👍 ❤
Thank you!
i have a 2008 bullet learning heaps from you .
Glad to help!
@@hacksguitarhobby hi i have bought some V5 pickups and 250k pots but i don't know what volume and tone capacitors to get would you have any suggestions.
You don’t need a cap for volume unless you want a treble bleed circuit. I have a video on that but would suggest skipping it until you get a little more practice wiring. For tone on single coil guitars with 250k pots, use a .047 uF cap, which is the standard value, and typically you only need one cap shared by both tone pots. You can play around with other values later when you get more experience. Might want to try .033, .022, or even .010 uF if the .047 doesn’t suit you, but it suits 90+ percent of Strat players.
@@hacksguitarhobby I'll try the .047 uf this is all new to me and i appreciate your help thank you.
Save that card space.
It's at a premium, for sure. ZV-E10 eats it quickly.
@@hacksguitarhobby , love it! You always make me laugh.
😮someone wants to sell me one for 200. I absolutely love mine. I keep adding to it. So cool to me. I stopped wanting a Fender
$200 is a little rich. I'm buying as many as I can get my hands on for around $100, though.
@@hacksguitarhobby, yeah, it is. Don't think I'm gonna bite. Got 6 guitar's now. Had 16... space is my issue. Got my vintage guitar, my SE, my 2000 epiphone pre special with offset dovetail, 86 Squier bullet one contemporary stratocaster/ Telecaster, my Squier standard stratocaster wirh a fender stratocaster body and guts, and my RG ibanez rgt47dx neck through. Project and ok looking to get a neck for the Fender to bring it back to the 2018 50s soft v stratocaster. That's definitely enough. Just need a acoustic and I'm done. Oh and my starcaster with a flame maple neck and a rosewood fretboard. 😆 🤣
