Awesome looking guitar!
I noticed you use the Planet Waves tuners. I love those as well, they're much more practical as they cut the strings for you. I wonder why they don't make them in more traditional colors, or why other manufacturers don't provide similar solutions. Everyone else makes just regular and locking tuners, not the locking-and-cutting tuners.
For a performing amateur musician, the ability to change your string quicker and without having to carry extra tools is certainly beneficial, and people spend a lot of time fretting about much less important details in their guitars.
I do like the current trend in youtube guitar videos talking more about playability, usability and reliability, and doing things like switching jacks or nuts, instead of endless pickup sound comparisons.
- g0gzs 5y agoYeah, I was looking into buying a new instrument, then youtube started suggesting all those build videos. Eventually found the project guitar web/forums and went for it. Probably my favorite side projects so far.
- soperj 5y agoThe original klusons tuners on the strats, you don't cut the strings at all. https://www.amazon.ca/Kluson-SD9105MN-Vintage-Tuning-Machines/dp/B006X0TD5E https://www.amazon.ca/Kluson-SD9105MN-Vintage-Tuning-Machine...
