In episode four, I ream switch/potentiometer holes to fit CTS/Switchcraft components, and line cavity with copper foil. Perhaps not very exciting to watch, so I added free YouTube 70's pron movie music for background sound. ? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If Sniffer Customs can build and mod guitar, YOU can build and mod guitar! ?

At some point in all lives of persons, I suppose you must assemble some EVH Frankenstrat guitar. I saw these painted bodies on eBay from China, as you may have, and decided this will be easy way to quickly fulfill task and move on with life. Surprisingly, while body is piece of crap, paint job is astonishing. Seriously. Layers of paint, tape job, and even locations of stripes and wear marks are hand made with absolute artistry. If person that painted this body applied this amazing work to a high quality body, they would be able to sell these for fortune of money. With this, I will attach a cheap pre-made neck, cheap humbucker pickups, and best quality tremolo that cost twice as much as body. ? Component listing...in work: 1. Striped body from eBay 2. Kahler 2300 series tremolo with Heavy Arm and Heavy Tension Springs and Wide String Hook (was going to install Gotoh GE1996T for more authentic look, but bizarre body routing does not allow adequate support for pivot stud inserts...and Kahler is better anyway) 3. Set of reflectors from eBay (may not use) 4. FLEOR bridge humbucker - I test at 15.49k resistance 5. Yibuy dual rail humbucker for neck - I test at 12.72k resistance 6.

For third video in series, I mount these Seymour Duncan single coil Jaguar pickups. SD Quarter Pound has fat pole pieces that do not extend into pickup cover (SD says to use without cover). So, I shave off top of cover to make it fit. ? Why? Because I want to retain "claws", and claws fit into covers. However, I do not connect ground wire of claw to ground wire of pickup, due to fact I am wiring pickups in "series"....and this would cause big problem. Instead, claw is isolated from pickup with rubber adhesive gasket material, and claw is grounded to cavity shielding. ? Terrible background noise is BC Rich Warbeast, eBow, NUX Metal Core pedal, Behringer Model D Synth, and Alesis SR-18 drum machine.
