I think it looks like a kit guitar when it's bare wood
i think thats partly why i like it.
When I saw the finished product, it looked way cooler than what I had in mind, it's really neat
I agree & an 18k sub tuber with a gtar channel leave it bare ..Shame on you ..git r done .
islanderwinder nothing is ever finished as far as I’m concerned. I’m excited about the raw wood concept now but I might explore other options someday.
I know everyone wants a natural finish but I think it would look very good in a solid, simple color like dark green with 2 white stripes. I would love to see that
why 2 stripes?
Ooh it would look like the ford mustang, it's a cool idea imo
José Cruz, 60 Cycle Hum, yeah it would look like a Ford Mustang car, witch is badass, just like an HH Mustang. I think Fender used to do that a while ago with the Mustangs and it just looks great. Also a black pickguard would be cool.
And also paint the headstock the same color as the body to make it look really classy
Yeah, but everyone does the "competition" Mustang.
I would've went full fiesta red, which would've been better with that red kill switch in my opinion.
now it's got a matching headstock!
craig garwood a red headstock would look cool now!
Videos like is are EXACTLY why I love this channel. People will agree or disagree with the decisions, but the point is that we get to watch someone do the kinds of things that we think about doing. I've thought about doing this a million times and haven't. GOD I love this channel.
budgetguitarist.com I figure that if I’m getting strong opinions against what I’m doing it’s because people are engaged and interested in what I’m doing. It’s fun.
great idea! keep up the videos and podcast!
Red knobs would look killer. I think leaving it unfinished is rad, as over time, it's going to darken where you're touching the most, so it will get some cool wear patterns.
A black pickguard and a sanded down neck with some red knobs would look really good with the raw look.
Loved the outro. Trippin'!
ohhh gorgeous!!! it was a prisoner of its own finish, and now it is free! wonderful!
You totally killed this one. Good job. ;)
Great job man! The guitar looks great.
Dang you did a great job getting those burns out!
I think a satin finish over the top of the raw wood would be really cool.
Or maybe a daphne blue relic? That way you can have the raw wood and a cool finish at the same time
Im convinced i want that $150 squire mustang now. You jamming on it right after reassembly settles it!
Tung Oil it man!
Looks better than I thought it would look. I sanded and spray painted my pickguard matte black since I couldn't find any replacement pickguard out there. Could look cool with naked wood!
Well done! I love the minimalismus on it! Sound good too! Naked wood sound better mostly! Would be interesting too with some chrom pickup covers and black pickguard... cheers!
...you should of at least oiled the body
I do agree with you that this guitar doesn't want glitter it wants basics. When you put that red kill switch on the pickguard it vaguely looked like Eddie Van Halen's Relic Wolfgang from 2017 tour. I am going to do my Mustang with that Relic pattern.great ideas you have and good intuition about modding guitars.
On the work bench I hated it, but when I saw it in the better lighting, I see what you mean! It looks great.
Also what fuzz is that? Me likey.
The final product looks good. It looks yellowish while you was playing it. Great sounding guitar. The kill switch is a good mod. I think you should put a clear coat on the wood to protect it over time. I’m pretty sure the wood might start getting dingy looking after awhile. The finish on a guitar or wood is also meant to protect it and prolong its life, it’s not just for vanity. Nice effects too.
looks great......if only.......trem.....very entertaining series :) It's a thousand dollar guitar now!
Yeah. it's great
im not normally interested in wood grains in guitars....that being said, this one actually looks neat, and i appreciate the reasoning behind it too.
That's cool
Have you ever tried a burned/charred finish? I think that would look cool. Whatever ya do I'd do SOMETHING to the raw wood. I know it's a cheap guitar but it needs some sort of protection. A few coats of boiled linseed oil and paste wax on top would be my suggestion for keeping the rawness. About as easy as it gets too.
Chris L yeah, I did the burned thing once. Honestly if I change this guitar I’ll probably be doing some kind of colorful paint.
To each his own! You could do the competition mustang vibe on it, that'd be cool.
if you paint guitar white then paint over it in black charcoal get a spray bottle like windex bottle spray all over the black paint with paint striper then wipe with news papper youll have witeish spots shining thrue like granite texture
That guitar would look great in a very light blue. Like maybe Daphne blue. While it looks okay now, I think after a while the raw wood is just going to look dirty without some kind of protective finish on it.
I like it.
It's sounds really good with that price
I’d have gone with white stain, and a black, or mint pickguard.
I think a tortoise shell guard would look awesome on this.
It looks so good! But imagine a competition stripe on that thing!
I really like the natural look for it tbh, seconding the tung oil idea. The red button looks really goofy and out of place on it, a white one to match the pickguard would have been much better, but that's just like... you know... my opinion man.
HEY RYAN! i think a racing stripe would look cool if you get the right color you have the red from the kill switch so maybe think about that. other than that get your friends to each draw/paint some thing on it and that would make it that extra bit special.
hey ryan really cool vid man
So i had an ideafor a guitar and i wanted to come to you for your opinion cuz i think you will like it
thanks
i wonder how it could look with a charred finish. would that make the seams split?
Man, for all of us watching, and for sure me, this feels,like a cop out. Even a tinted poly finish would be better and offer protection from humidity changes and sweat. If you want to go really cheap, get some rit fabric and use it to color the wood. It feels like your plans fell through and you took the easy way out. Hell, even metal specks gold from duplicolor would be a better answer. It's not as sparkly as metal flake but it's pretty flashy for a rattle can.
ndeli55 people seem to be split on it. For the time being I’m loving the raw wood look. I’m sure I won’t keep it this way forever, I’m always messing with my guitars.
Man, it's your guitar, you should do what you want. To keep it playable, I'd want protection from things that could cause playability issues. Even a satin poly would help. I just think with your surf flair, you'd like something more flashy.
I like the red knob Fender amp tribute idea. Think of this, metal specks silver, think aluminum like the chassis, then satin clear to tame it and red Fender amp knobs and that kill switch. Could be nifty.
I know this is a weird question but I was wondering if it was possible to put a tele neck on a LPJ body ? Any ideas? I have an idea over all what I wanna do but I don't see the scale length working out. Any suggestions welcome.
Cale Staton yea the scale length is a huge issue, youd have to redrill holes for the bridge or install a new one all together. Warmoth makes custom guitar parts but they can be pretty pricy.
Love the arcade button killswitch. Just like buckethead. I put one in my Jackson and I live using it to play buckethead a songs
I’ve got a kit Tele build I put a bright red ordinary gloss paint on with a brush and I think it looks really good. If you put it on really thinly, keep the brush moving you get a kind of kids wooden toy finish. I’m told if you mix in a bit of water it makes application a little easier but I only did my Tele so I’ve no experience of that. Just a thought..
Raw wood is awesome. I have a natural finish strat copy that I have been wanting to sand down to just wood, no finish.
I’m replacing the pickups in my Mustang, which wire go where on the switch?
yes get some red knobs to match the kill switch, even to look out, I have my own Bullet Mustang, never spent so little and been so happy with a guitar
Jason Hill that’s how I feel about it
Great job. But please explain what these pickups are. I think they sound better than Epi- Gib pickups, more clear. What is the difference ?
I dig it man. I just plain dig it. That blue had to go.
You could go subtle - like Competition Orange with a checkerboard pickguard. A little tach dial on the upper horn. Thrush bird on the headstock.
Count Von D yeah! Subtle! ;-)
You have a very nice guitar. You can refinish it in a coupla years if you take a notion. It seems to make a lot of racket even without paint. I do like the kill switch! You say its a breeze to install so I guess I'll order one. I bo't one of those guitars or that is i paid for one anyway. The store says they're out of stock and I hafta wait till they get a batch in. I'm a geezer so I hope I see the day when my Mustang arrives. The kill switch can sound so right if you know when to not punch it. You do pretty good with it. I c'nardly wait.
give it a driftwood stain finish!
I thought about aging the wood, ive silvered wood before, its pretty easy.
I HIGHLY recommend Rustoleum Ultimate Driftwood stain. I put two or 3 coats on an old rifle stock I stripped, then put a little finishing oil on it. It's BEAUTIFUL if you want me to send you some pics for consideration
How could i turn it in a single coil configuration guitar?
I want to buy this guitar, but i don't really like the humbucker mustangs
Proof that Fender headstocks always want to match the fretboard or the body color of the guitar.
Black pick guard, red knobs and Truoil finish. Now to add some comments for the win on the pedal video.
I think it looks pretty cool. Thanks for making this video and especially for showing the kill switch mod. I always wanted to do one but I remember having some difficulty finding a schematic for it (I had no idea it was that simple, but it does make sense).
What is the effect that you are using at 9:04 in the video? That part sounded really cool.
Cheers!
paveltc Keeley bubble tron
Awesome! Thanks for the reply!
I think you should do a clear coat at least to match the headstock
Or sand the headstock
Paul McCartney sanded down his Rickenbacker 4001 that he had while he was with The Beatles, and used it as a raw wood bass.
Looks like something youd play white stripes songs on
You should've done this to the black one. Take it apart again and swirl paint the body.
Since everyone has already suggested oil, I’ll suggest v. light Miwax to keep that look.
80s coffee table style.
Truoil. Thanxz
what pedals used?
Maybe do a Danish Oil finish, I'd also want to change out the pick guard for a black one
Visually, it’s cool, but I would want some sort of barrier between my skin and the wood.
Hahahaha
I love the feel of raw wood. I'd probably still stain it (driftwood stain would be nice) b/c I like the color better than the blonde wood, but +1 to not coating it in poly or whatever. No need.
And no, the wood isn't going to break down from skin contact. It's not like you're going to leave it in the bathtub or something. It'll be fine.
yeah, i don't know why people are acting like its made out of chalk or something, i could play it unfinished for my whole life and the woods not going to magical dissolve or something. It would be pretty beat up and nasty, but the guitar will survive.
You may need a mist coat on the vinyl before thick clear coat layers. Like when doing a headstock decal.
Now it is an amature unfinished kit giutar. all you did was remove a perfectly good finish and put it back together. WTF?
George Lackey yup, that’s what I did.
I researched paint colors of 1965 1966 Ford mustangs they had some nice paint colors those years I think I'm going to paint my mustang guitar sautrne gold they also had candy apple red , midnight blue ,moss green ,artic white
Maybe True Oil? Looks great as-is, though! Reminds me of when Gibson first introduced the "Faded Series" (back when they had a few good ideas). The Arcade Cabinet snob in me wants to say "That's not a real Sanwa/ Seimitsu button!" but who gives a fuck, it looks rad.
Strip the headstock for a matched "raw" look?
John Gustafsson
Good idea
Some zebra humbuckers would look killer.
i agree
I'm not gonna lie, I like the color and look of the bare wood I just feel so weirded out by the concept. I looked it up and water based poly will protect and coat without darkening the wood. Maybe try that?
Darken it up a little bit with a black or Tortoise Shell pickguard that would make it 100x better in my opinion.
What fuzz are you using?
half horse by pelican noise works
Kurt cobain style guitar, Tom morello and buckethead killswitch now it just needs a zebra coil Humbucker and a franskestrat Humbucker to be the guitar, for all my needs, common all my favorite guitarist all in one package.
I’d burn the whole body with a blowtorch then cover it in oil, it looks awesome
What pedals are you using?
walrus iron horse, pelican noise works half horse, pelican noiseworks 50/50, ehx canyon, walrus arp-87, keeley bubbletron, mini crybaby.
60 Cycle Hum nice thanks
where do you get those arcade buttons?

thanks a bunch!
White sparkle... that would be awesome
sparkle is such a pain in the ass. ive done it before and i don't want to do it again.
Please don’t oil it. I wanna see how it looks after a few months with no finish. Thanks for sharing this.
scott3402 that’s my thinking, besides I might still want to paint it.
The raw would be cool, but if you’re a sweaty player like me, then it would be not cool sometime later
im sweaty when im playing, im sweaty when im not playing.
I dont care what u do to it...what pedals were u using? Great video!
half horse, 50/50, iron horse, bubble tron, arp-87, ehx canyon, mini crybaby
i think it’d look great if he got the body to match the headstock color
Look into Rust-Oleum Chalk paint! I just did the first coat today of the "Serenity Blue" on a Les Paul and it's gonna look killer after a few coats of satin clear!! Found this thread on The Gear Page forum about the Chalk paint and it convinced me!!
www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/has-anyone-used-chalk-paint-to-refinish-a-guitar.1734059/
That looks awesome!
I love how the matte chalk looks... my Les Paul is going to end up with that sweeeeeet vintage, aged Sonic Blue look from using the Serenity Blue!!
I second the chalk paint idea. It's reversible, looks cool and makes much more sense as video content than just leaving it unfinished.
Walnut stain and oil... it looks naked and cold like that. :c
you should've left the original finish on it, like i said in first place
ill do what i want dad!
;')
You might start a new craze with a plain wood finish....
Please use the fretwire p90s
here this idea is for you dude I just shared it in a nother video take a guitar tuner in the form of a stomp pedal open the pedal take out the main board get a spare output jack plug it into the input of guitar tuner board plug wires joining the output jacks of guitar and tuner cut a hole in pick guard for the stomp tuners lcd display to be mounted later cut a hole for stomp button too be mounted latter mount the guitar tuner main board too inside of pick gauard then when you push the stomp button on your pick guard your tuner will light up and be ready too tune your giutar at any time you choose built in guitar tuners im surprised guitar companys haven't figured this out yet ive been doing it for years that is called a mod hacking a device to do other things not just upgradeing it oh yes you need too make a clip in hatch into pick guard for 9v batery
How often do you have to replace the battery with that set up? - steve
if you look at back of any Chinese pedal the battery door is a plastic rectangle hatch that clips into a slot of plastic cand be done on pickgauard
@@60CycleHumcast or you could extend the battery cable get one runs on 9v make battery cable long enough too lay under pots cavity so just un screw hatch change battery no need mess with stings or plate just 3 skrews to change battey when you push stomp button on your pick gaurd tuner turns on when you push it again tuner turns off not using battery
@@60CycleHumcast one more thing main board too tuner is very small and very flat not even a fraction of the size of its housing
Put a Floyd on it!!
red with white stripes like eddie van halens lol
Tung oil
paint it graffiti yellow!
Looking forward to the next part when you realize your mistake and actually finish this guitar in a brilliant white.
im never done with any of my guitars. im sure this isn't the end for this one. ;-)
Throw a thin coat of oil on it and call it a day.
Just put a Satin coat to protect the body at least.
It looks like a cheap Saga kit without a finish. Red with a white competition racing stripe decal.
it looks really good, just leave it. it will look cool when it is all manky too. dont listen to the tung oil crew.
yeah, im not into the tung oil solution. If i do something else with this guitar it will be more dramatic than that.
If you decide to destroy it like the Epiphone, don't. Send it to me, I'll take a video playing it, send you the video and then send it to someone else, they can do the same and you can do a video series of the travelling Squier Mustang! Everyone who plays it should also sign it and include just their zip code to track how far it goes.
Jeremy Santos lol, I’m not destroying it.
Put a walnut stain on a la the 70s Mustangs!
& a Tortoise shell guard
White knobs and blue bobbins...
Man, that looks.... daft....
when you are so unpretentious you end up being pretentious! lols
JMarz lol
