[theeholygoalie]

What's the name of this song I remember it being about Area 54

[matt420740]

@theeholygoalie

"Roswell 47" by Hypocrisy

[theeholygoalie]

nice one I remember it from the 90's. nice guitars too

[CurtisRoxAtGuitar]

I wanna do this to my old RG120. I think I'm just going to block off the trem and get some new pickups for it. I really wanna fix it up and make it somewhat nice lol

[alexis221woodworks]

I love hardtails guitars, im building a kit now with a TOM bridge...

[matt420740]

@alexis221woodworks

Thanks for watching :) Just checked out the vids on your channel. That Explorer body looks exceptional for a kit. Its going to have some serious potential. Have you decided on a finish yet?

[shreddah69]

Hypocrisy!!!!

[gsstrings]

I don't blame you a bit,trem bridges just won't stay in tune unless you have a floyd rose. And even with them theres a loss of tone and sustain,IMO hard tails the way to go.They put those crappy trems on everything so beginners can make all the cool noises and break a few strings.Give me a clasic tune-omatic any day!!!!

[jocat2008]

why? this is stupid, learn to use the whammy bar.

[matt420740]

So because I don't like tremolo guitars that makes me stupid? Do you also think Slash and Paul Gilbert are stupid because they prefer hardtails? Now there's nothing wrong with a whammy, if thats your thing, but its not my thing, so fuck off.

[tocko92]

may i ask you why you made a hardtail out of a tremolo

[matt420740]

This was a cheaper model Ibanez, and the tremolo was poorly designed, and it wouldn't stay in tune at all. I got so tired of it that I was gonna scrap the axe, but I decided to do this instead. I think it came out pretty well.

[zazuzonker]

Great job! Could yu tell me where you got the mahogany blocks to fill the front and back cavities? Thanks very much.

[matt420740]

Thanks. I just happened to have some scrap pieces laying around at the time. When I do order it though I get it from Woodworkers Source. You can google it to find their site. I believe they are having a sale on mahogany right now.

[ChocoboTheftAuto]

do you still have the tremolo?

[matt420740]

Na, sorry. I sold it on E-bay a few months back.

[tcherassi1]

i dont get..whats a tremolo and whats a hardtail????whats the difference??can som1 plz tell me>>??

[Mdaman13]

A Tremolo system allows you to make vibratos and make rapid tone shifts, simply by pulling or pressing on the tremolo arm. A hardtail only holds the strings.

[skatet4life]

children of bodom in the backrouund??

[matt420740]

No, its Hypocrisy. I don't really like Bodom. Check some of Hypocrisy's stuff out. They rock. Thanks for watching :)

[skatet4life]

kk np im getten this guitar and i just like wanted to see some stuff about it and yeah ill check em out they sound amazing

[hmmrsmshdfc]

There cover of black metal was good. Most of that album was.

[Partners2006]

What song is this?

[matt420740]

Roswell 47, by Hypocrisy

[AzMetalShredder]

this sounds nothing like cob

[whocares577]

your a moron this guitar is ok as it is

[matt420740]

Your the moron. This guitar stays in tune twice as good as it did. Now go play with your little toy skateboards, you ignorant ass kid.

[sivious1]

i got that same guitar yesterday same color and everything and its great

[KissMeImPunk]

Now if only you took requests..

[matt420740]

Thanks, I'll be glad to take a request :) Would be nice to do this for a living!!

[KissMeImPunk]

If you require money, I've nothing to spare.

[Riker1982]

To that I can only say: It'll be an exclusive kickass instrument! Rock it!!!!

[matt420740]

Thanks Riker1982

[AudioslaveGuitar]

music made it fun to watch lol. thats sweet!!

[benjaminvanreusel]

fucking great i never can do that to my guitar

[matt420740]

Thanks ben, its not so hard :)

[benjaminvanreusel]

yea but still it looks hard and from a professional

[scbene]

awesome Matt! hope it sounds freakin awesome! BTW why did you decide to change the tremolo out? i personally prefer fixed bridges or string through bodies. i don't like floating bridges or tremolo's. but that's just me!

[matt420740]

Thanks Scbene. I changed the tremolo out for the same reason you just stated. I prefer fixed bridges. Much better tuning stability. I'd rather have a string through. I should be done today or tommorow!!

[AnissaAcoff]

that looks awesome, I wish I could do cool stuff like that to my old rg, I sold it last month.

[matt420740]

Thanks AnissaAcoff, If your interested in a project try looking on E-bay for a guitar thats broken or that looks bad, and fix it up the way you want! :)

[LeftHandedJay]

that's cool man , i can't wait to see it finished !

[matt420740]

Thanks dude, I should have another vid up this evening showing what I've done so far.

[sonnedark]

verry good your protec

you can see my news cover pleace

[matt420740]

Thanks sonnedark, I'll come and check em out.

[mihawk1]

rg-120 was my first guitar...pretty good for $200 smackers.

[mihawk1]

BTW u should have use " Famowood " woodfiller, its pretty much the best on the market...or maybe sum bondo..but famowood is best.

[matt420740]

Thanks for the info mihawk. I'm hoping this thing will be a lot better guitar once I'm finished, at least tuning wise anyways.
