This Mexican Telecaster started life as a sunburst and suffered the indignity of a terrible "relic" job by a previous owner - it looked like he used an angle grinder...
I stripped the poly finish back to the bare wood and applied a Tru-Oil finish. I then added Iron Gear pickups wiht a humbucker in the neck and rewired it using top quality compenents.
It sounds fantastic and currently lives in my rack in 5 string open G tuning with a kind of Barncaster / Micawber mashup vibe, and i love it!
Restoration of a rare 1987 E Serial MIJ which had a lot of parts missing and a non-functional Kahler Trem. In this video I bring it back to life with sympathetic body restoration, conversion to a standard 2 point trem and fitment of good quality Fender electronics and pickups. It is now fully functional, looking and playing fantastic, and for sale in my Reverb shop https://reverb.com/uk/shop/alansguita...
An MIJ ‘52 Reissue Telecaster in Candy Apple Red is a rare bird indeed, an Export specification offered in 1990 in the UK. In this video I do some body repairs, deep clean, fret job and full set up to get this gorgeous Tele back to her best.
Confused about the differences between different types of Telecaster? In this video I compare MIM Standard, MIM Player Series and American Series Telecasters and show all the differences in a side by side strip down, deep clean and rebuild 4 guitars in a mammoth sale prep and setup extravaganza.
A wee project build I did as I wanted to explore rewiring a semi hollow and see what I could build out of cheap but decent parts. Based around a gutted and repaired IG 335, but really the upgrades are equally applicable to any Epiphone Dot or semi hollow guitar
A little bit of general discussion about Epiphone semi-hollows, and a direct comparison between an ES335 that I have fully set up and owned for a couple of years, and an other one which I have acquired in brand new ex-factory condition. I show the dramatic differences in set up, and then take the new one through my full new guitars setup process and also install a GFS X-Trem tremolo unit as a cost effective, fully reversible alternative to a Bigsby. Spoiler - I like it! It’s one of my longer videos but it covers a fair amount for ground, so grab a coffee and settle in!
Building up a blinged up HH Tele from Blacktop body, a block inlaid Player series neck and nice set of Iron Gear PAF style humbuckers
A little bit of history and comparison as I take two early Mexican Stratocasters through a Silver service, and choose which one to keep. There can be only one!
Deep clean, fret dress and set up of a gorgeous and very rare Japanese market double bound Telecaster '62 Custom reissue
