  • sure is alot of screwing in this video!

  • hey, what brand and model are these vintage style locking machine heads? I am working on a Jazzmaster Project.

    thanks! :D

  • how big is that drill bit?

  • If I missed the reason for why to begin the bore in reverse, I apologize, but could you expound on that? I'm not the most knowledgeable when it comes to the physics of power tools. Thanks.

  • Do you have to worry about countersink and counterbore if the neck it unfinished? It's only finish is an oil based sealer.

  • @MitchRulzWorld Probably not as much no, but I still tend to countersink slightly on holes going into unfinished wood though.

  • Really enjoying this series.

  • Great job - but at 9:48 it syas "soap" will work instead of slide ease. I have many people tell me to never use soap, because it attratcs moisture and could cause your screw to rust.

  • @bkerwood42 That could be true that soap draws moisture but I wouldn't worry about it. The kind of screws we use for guitar assembly are usually plated steel and the plating is highly resistant to corrosion. If you're still concerned about the soap, and can't find the slideez I suppose wax could be used as instead.

  • hats off to you Jason. You are Very meticulous and good at what you do!! I'd be proud to have you do any type of work for me..Keep up the good work.. I'm playing a mike campbell duesenberg now, but am looking into building a twangy sounding tele, and think Warmoth will be the way I will go!

  • After watching this i must thank you for all the ideas on installing the tuning machines, i have built a five string warmoth bass before and i used some of the ideas you suggest, but not all of them, however next time i build one i will use all of the tips from your video i can to make installing them even easier, i just had problems with the screws for the tuners at the back, however i managed to remedy them myself. Really good video, thanks.

  • OMG!!! Stop with all the nick pickie bull. Just drilll a pilot and screw no body will see it..

  • @tc5525 Thank you for the input. Go ahead and assemble guitars as you see fit, I'll do the same.

  • @smbstressfest i can guess whose guitar will be better :)

  • @smbstressfest? Tc5525 probably just nails them in with a hammer. :) But anyway, your attention to these fine details does show you care about yer craft very much. Also liked the "squeeky clean" sound when you removed the sharpy ink at the 1:45-50 mark!

  • omg, your job is very professional, you take so much careful and the guitar is beautiful, congrats!

  • PLEASE REPLY:

    Is the hot-wire and ground-wire made out of any specific kind of wire or is it a standard copper wire (like the one's used in lights)

    thanks in advance!

  • @flubbernugget88 It's pretty much standard copper, although the wire gauge used is normally quite small.

  • @smbstressfest

    cool. what's the gauge you use/what's the prefered gauge?

  • This is an awesome, incredibly useful series of videos. I can't find a guitar with the features I want and have no background in this sort of thing, but I think if I watch the videos about a million times and am extremely careful I might be able to attempt it. Thanks.

  • I love the perfectionist nature you have on doing work! thanks for the great tips on how to do this!!

  • i want to install a new pickguard and new pickups for my strat.......even that looks too complicated :(

  • I think that its much safer to drill the holes with a hand drill (not a powered one).

  • You're probably right. I don't own a bit brace or I might actually do it that way.

  • like a brain surgeon.i wish id of let u do my guitars. this is the luthier 4 me shame hes american to far to travel

  • your'e very exact about these things man, i wish i had half the patience that you do, i once tried relicing a strat copy, mesed it up compleatley dude, now that im watching your videos, i keep thinkin, i shouldve done this or that you know

  • i love the way you work its as if u were working of gods guitar everytime u do something like its gotta be 100% perfection... i love that! gj man keep up the vids! 5 stars!

  • dream´s luthier

    i cant´t wait to see the whole thing assembled...

  • Jason: The perfect combination of CNC-machine accuracy and hand-crafted artisanry!

  • Comment removed
