Building a Guitar ep. 20 - Finished Guitar, Zelda sound demo

Finally I took the time to record a quick video playing the guitar I built / assembled.

I just decided to record and that's it, so I didn't tune up the guitar and didn't practice anything specific. Just wanted to show the sound since so many people have requested. If I put too much thought I'll never post it hahaha

Most important thing: I am pleased with the sound of the guitar and the playability, considering that I am no luthier. It sounds and plays better than many other guitars I've seen, at about 1/3rd the price. Versatility is really nice, so you can move from thin strat / tele sound to fat strat, fat les paul or smooth-sounding humbucker.

Setup is
Zelda Guitar
Fender Performer 650 amp
Fulltone FD2 Mosfet OD pedal (when mentioned)

@jefferdc You've got it right, the feeling of playing a DIY guitar is the best. Thanks for watching, and feel free to ask questions when you start building your guitar. Hope the videos help.

It sounds very good. I liked the way you can choose what cap to use. It let the guitar have a large range of tones. Congratulations for your project.
