Leo Jaymz's DIY products have always been committed to reducing the difficulty of assembly. Under the guidance of our assembly instructions, the difficulty of assembly can be reduced to zero. As an entry-level instrument for guitar enthusiasts, it is very fun to make a guitar yourself.
👍 I did one of these a Tele about 3-4 years ago , it was a lot of fun. I sanded and painted the body and headstock and upgraded all the parts. Came out pretty good for a first time build , I think mine was from Bex Gears if I remember correctly from Amazon. I would totally recommend anyone who's into playing guitars to try it for themselves. Definitely comes in handy down the road if you want to learn how to fix or adjust things on your own without paying someone else to do it...✌️🤘
It’s cool how you do these budget guitar videos for us. Thanks.
If anyone considers themselves serious about guitars, I think you should put one together yourself at least once, and this kit seems good quality for such an inexpensive price. It will make you feel so much more confident in your guitar skills knowing you put this together yourself.
I have a parts telecaster and two parts Stratocaster I built from scratch Well, I bought all the parts and put them together, but I didn’t buy no guitar kit. I don’t like the pick ups in the kits or the tuners.
I built the leo Jaymes explorer! Turned out great! Unfortunately, it took a fall off a stand, but it took a licking and still ticking! 😅Thanks Shredder 🤘
Killer shredding man. That guitar sounds good!
Leo Jaymz. Always knocking it out of the park. I'm wearing my Leo Jaymz shirt today also. Lol😀
So the shirt fits? Excellent!
@thebaldshredder Yes I can squeeze into it. 😀😆
Great Review Shredder! I really love the grain in that mahogany body and the contrast of that deep dark ebony fretboard! Im looking at those amps in the 🧡 orange & yellow 💛 colors...and a 10% coupon to boot??? 😱 It sounded really great paired with your Monsoon! Had I not got a great ebay deal on a BlackStar + 4 pedals a few months ago... I'd definitely be pulling the trigger on this!
Also... Thanks for the great time we all had last night hangin' out on your Live Stream... every week I think: He can't top that, but every week, YOU DO!
📣🎶📣🎶📣🎶📣🎶📣🎶📣
Nice honest review. I've started playing around with doing some of my own setups, but working on frets still gives me anxiety. This might be the perfect platform to practice on. Keep up the great reviews!
Me too. I don't like to do fret leveling unless it's totally necessary.
Nice.😍 The amp definitely sounded much better with the alnico 5 humbuckers.
Definitely!
its all about the learning...kits are one of the best ways to get some knowledge. Richard has the talent and the skills. everone who watches this should relize that Richard, is also a great teacher....my hats off to you Richard. great vid and you have value to everone who subscribes to your channel. keep it going. Awesome content. the bald teaching shredder stellar CHANNEL🤘
Thanks!
That thing looks really freaking nice!! great job on that one!!
Awesome video! I am going to build the HH tele kit. I bought a used Seymour Duncan JB bridge and Jazz neck set off FB marketplace. I think it will be a fun project. Thanks!
This was my first guitar ever! I built one of these kits last year and it still works! Although soon I plan on switching the pickups because for me personally they don’t necessarily quite cut it anymore.
The amp is ok. The guitar has potential- I bought a guitar online a few years ago (unbranded Glerry) and changed the heads, installed a graphite nut, Reworked the baseball bat C neck, fret job, string trees an wrapped the cavities with copper tape. I left the pickups, they were ok. . It's a beautiful guitar (It took awhile, alotta work and a Few bucks) It's not for everyone, but it you have the knowhow and some time...this looks like a good priced guitar to work over.
I just bought a crapload of parts & put them together & learned how to adjust them my nephew loved it !
It's great fun!
Tell ya what Leo Jaymz, Bexgears, and Harley Benton have been kicking out some awesome kits as of late. Well, and affordable to boot. I don't think anyone could do bad scooping one or more
Dude I Realy Believe You Could Make A Turd Sound Good !!!!
My new guitar: the turd-o-caster.
Very well done sir! Sounds good, looks cool
Im going to pick up a few of these kits and see what I can come up with.
Nice review. Very balanced. I have lost count of how many stratocaster kits I have built or stratocasters that I have modified. It sounds like it would be a good kit to build and I like that you don't have to cut the headstock, (that at times can be somewhat tricky) . So are you going to upgrade it?
I have so many projects and parts laying around. I have no idea how this one will end up at this point.
Nice review! Always enjoy your work and playing
Salutations Shredder!
Thanks for the honest review!
It seems like a good bargain for building a great aftermarket Stratocaster, and there are plenty of options for improving the performance of the instrument. It is especially nice that it comes with a neck that has an ebony fretboard, I didn’t catch whether it has stainless steel frets, which would be extra nice, also, there was no mention of the tuning machines either, however, better ones can be easily installed if they need improvement. For a beginner, with a limited budget, this is a great option, and for someone experienced, this is a good option for building a guitar to suit their tastes.
You can paint it any color you like, or you can leave it with the natural wood grain.
Keep on jamming!
Thanks again for the review!
Please have an excellent and awesome day!
☀️✨🎸
Pretty Wild. Thanks RJ
Great kit. One I got had some holes marked but not drilled, pickguard didn't have plugs (had to solder wires). Lots of fun, but you need experience to make to make it good.
Always great 👍 thanks you for sharing love it I’m gone get one ☝️
I am subscribed buddy,count on it
Hey Richard I was wondering if there is a version of this Strat kit that offers a 22 fret neck instead of the traditional 21 fret neck shown here which is still cool but I am a former Les Paul style guy that now prefers Strats but I also prefer them with 22 frets so that i can play everything i can on a Les Paul with a Strat and some solos that use the 22nd fret are impossible to replicate on a 21 fret guitar but its not a deal breaker if the 21 fret is all thats offered as its still a really cool kit but i just wish it had a 22 fret neck option but if not it still seems like an awesome kit, I do hope Leo James add a 22 fret option to this kit if not already an option
Awesome man! Is the body full thickness (1.75"), wondering if it takes the full size trem block? 😁
Just measured it. It's about 1 5/8" thick.
@@thebaldshredder Awesome, thank you! 😉
Ive been looking at their modern tele version. Did you have to do any finish? Would you do any finish if you wanted to keep the natural look?
The wood is already sealed, so you can just keep it like that if you want to. No need to do anything else unless you want to paint it.
@@thebaldshredder thanks! Any issues with slightly off holes that could cause alignment issues?
No issues. Everything lines up perfectly.
@@thebaldshredder awesome! Thank you for replying! I might just have to go for it. I've been looking at firefly's, this diy kit, or other similarly priced guitars.
HAY, MY BALD BUDDY, I JUST SUBBED. WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD AMP FOR THAT ENYA NOVA PRO? LOVE YOUR VIDEOS, YOU POPED UP ON MY RADAR A COUPLE DAYS AGO. STAY COOL. PEACE FROM CREEL CHIHUAHUA, MEXICO...
It just depends on what kind of sound you're looking for. I like Line 6 amps. Blackstar and Boss Katana are also good.
You need to make a video showing you putting it together, instead of just telling people about it. That way people will be more apt to do it.
That is too cool! 👍🔥
I will add not the best amp. However, for a beginner, GREAT AMP
Very cool, is that a full thickness body?
It's about 1 5/8" thick.
@@thebaldshredder great,thanks!
What is a decent single coil sized humbucker to put in the bridge position of my Strat at a reasonable price? Thanks!
Look up Musiclily on Amazon
@@thebaldshredder ok thanks! The tone on your album Tiger Vs Dragon is awesome! Great 80’s tone!
I have been meaning to ask you for some time now I'm looking to have a custom s style guitar done I have pics of what I 😮am looking for is there any chance I could email them to you and get your opinion on who would be the best people to so so😂contact for a certain build thsnks so much Tim from 🇨🇦
Sure, go ahead.
How do you put the string spacers on the telecaster neck when it has the indentation at the top of the neck?
Do you know the nut width or radius on this kit?
If that’s actual mahogany on a $30 neck why is it a premium on a $400 neck?
Looks great. Sadly, it can't be delivered to my country, but... Well...
0:03 - My first through...Uh oh. BS broke ANOTHER one.
The amp sounds better than those 10 watt Crate and Glarry amps.
For sure
I thought you were Tom Fleming but I saw the sign that said Richard James, sorry 'bout that.
Ebony colored fretboard?
Scarr is the only person I have seen put a fret rocker over the frets on a leo james and found the frets were uneven.
Not so on some other cheap brands.
If your knit picking a 79 dollar guitar you have other issues !
I ordered one but will be returning it. It looks very similar to yours where the 2 pieces of the body have very dissimilar wood grain. It seems like they put the poorly matched bodies in the the DIY kits and keep the good ones for the ads and for themselves.
String buzz was fully noticable
string buzz should go away with the frets wearing down... I guess...
You're right, David. A little counterclockwise tweak of the truss rod will likely help that a lot. Maybe some adjustment to the string heights at the bridge. And definitely some decent strings. For a novice these are all things that can be looked at as good learning opportunities, and what better way to learn? But for a cheap kit this is not bad at all. I could go down to GC this afternoon and find worse-playing brand-name guitars than this for $200-500.
Also, keep in mind guys that I didn't do any setup on this. Just assembled it and put the strings on.
@@thebaldshredder That's a pretty fair way to check a kit like this out. I think it did ok and could be a surprisingly good guitar with just a little work. Thanks, Richard.
I buy all my parts and then put them together and not everything comes from Amazon or eBay. I just find what I like and I’m a lefty so I don’t get no Leo James.
I’ve been to chicken to build a guitar kit so far
This one is super easy. I guarantee you could do it.
Doesnt ship to Canada.
I am high functioning autistic and I am a guitar player
Keep on rockin, bud
Damn.... Still no lefty's!
with the 10w amp, it sounds like Judas Priest 😂😂😂😂
Still sounds like a cardboard box!
