i stumbled upon this while getting tips on soldering techniques.
this guy jason, builds a warmoth strat, puts on video every aspect imaginable.
except ofcourse build from scratch.
but pretty much a step by step that gives any ocd driven weekend warrior luthier a run for their money. :wink:

ceri, youll like this, ofcourse he is just assembeling, but his meticulousness really helps out. 30 plus 10 minute videos. :shock:

enjoy.

Jason from The Musician's Den in Evansville, IN demonstrates building a Stratocaster style parts guitar from a Warmoth neck and body. In part 1, you'll see the many parts we're using for this instrument.

hey shock, is that you? i mean jason.

i watched up to the nut installment. at work, on my iphone. i was totally glued,
thought it was very well produced. i liked how its broken down, and thouroughly explained.

love the color of the guitar, goes very well with the maple neck.
building GAS.

No it isn't. I had seen it before but not watched it.

Though I have not watched the complete thing to see, you should not leave anything loose or floating around in the pick guard cavity.
This includes heat-shrink or tubing to tidy the cabling.
So in this case he should have shrunk both sets of heat-shrink.

Also to get solder to tin (stick better) you can rough up the contact points or POT surface with some sandpaper or a small file.
I'm sure I could pick the videos apart (I won't) but I'd thought I mention these couple.

Well the videos helped.
My 2006 am STD strat had a loose ground wire in the
output Jack, when I inspectected it it came right off so I
resoldered it.
