8:28 what is the name?
"I have no idea what im doing" Every student ever
You didn’t build a guitar. Warmoth did. And it took you half a day to put it together. Cool guitar though poser
Sultans Of Swing Eh? Nice Job!!
8:25 Back In Black!
The details of the guitar sounded like my sister ‘s “Santa” list
H2 BSJ
You. Did. Not. Build. The. Guitar.
That's not a strat headstock.
Pretty sure that's not nitro finish. Still an awesome guitar.
I placed an order for a Velocity body and tele neck as well. Did you have any issues with the neck fitting? Someone mentioned that the neck may not match up to a strat pocket.
what is the name of the song at the end?????I ve been searching for weeks
Dire Straits - Sultans Of Swing
id like to see you build one of those traditional guitars
OMG Mike where did you learn that?!?!? mike : 9:22
what song is that at the end
Dire Straits - Sultans Of Swing
bass
Mike definitely knows all the chords, am I right?
telecaster headstock sucks
Thanks
@TheStrayTuber thanks man!
@Omega Red Drums just checked out your channel nice covers
@Omega Red Drums I wasn't planning on
Then don’t get one
How come now one recognized hes playing hamburgers in a strat and not single xoils
You what? Im gonna assume you mean humbuckers and not hamburgers, but even at that, they ARE single coils.
0:54 is when your mum gives you your list of chores.
Should’ve got a gordon Smith
You should learn to tune a guitar with your hearing
@Txvxn that's what i mean, that's perfect pitch. A normal person cannot 'remember' what an exact note sounds like without a reference.
@Jamie Nelson he could learn to memorize how each key sounds and thus use that to tune an untuned guitar and then check how in tune he got it at the end
You can't tune a guitar by ear completely without having perfect pitch, which is a skill you can't learn after about 8 years old. You can tune by ear if one or more strings is in tune, or you have a reference note, like a piano or another guitar that is in tune.
That is a cool car in your garage
Dude said "gimme that dining room table guitar"
My guy playing sultans of swing hell yeah
Amazing! Sounds great! Young guitarist here:D
You should hafe more subrscibers!! love the video (i play on guitar)
Playing sultans of swing using fingerstyle, a man of culture i see.
Mb could might as well be mr beast
Sick, that is one of the best looking guitars that I have seen. And nice Hercules wall mount if that is what that is.
dire straits at the end I'm loving it
Sultans of swings🙌
Hummbuckers for life!
As 'some guy in a factory', I'm offended.
Did no one serieusly notice that old camaro or pontiac type thing in the background?!
kiesel
Do it do the repairing a phone🥺🙏🙏
for some reason the way he does vibrato makes me irrationally angry
Holy crap dude you are so good at guitar!
If my significant other was this specific with a wedding gift I would just tell them to buy it and send me the bill
25 frets eh?
Why would you need 25 frets??
Mostly people who shred and do crazy fast sweep picking licks like to have extra frets so they don't have to move strings in the middle of a sweep
Give ,e the diagram the somponets and 15 minutes and your guitar is wired
Great song choice
So youre a Singel pickup dude. I have a schecter omen 6 diamond series and its a metall machine
1:26 25 frets wtff
Let’s just admire the dedication of this man
I want a car i am in Moldova cristinazuza85@gmail.com
Beautiful guitar but I always love the Les Paul design
New challenge make a guitar (from scratch) like a Lutheir
Mike I am great fan of yours and I will love if you try something like Cosmo anki vector ....
As soon as he started playing Dire Straits music he got a sub from me
before you got the expensive parts dont you think it would be wise to make a cheaper one first so you dont wreck the expensive parts?
lutrea
The moment he said strat I knew sultans of swing was going to be played. Most famous strat song in my opinion
That wiring job reminded me of what it looked like behind my old stereo system back in the day. A giant multi colored bird's nest built by a drunken bird. Personally , I would probably put a heavier gauge strings (10's) on her to fatten that tone up a little. Otherwise , it's a beautiful guitar.
I love the Sultans of Swing outro. The whole video was amazing, I've watched it like 20 times ❤️
9:20 song?
@Jamie Nelson thanks
Dire Straits - Sultans Of Swing
3:18 is he gonna build s car ?
Can you give it to me I need a guitare in lebanon is 1500 $
i want my dad back
Can someone tell me why this guy from Scotland talks like he lives in LA
Because Scotland isnt all one accent.
it would have been so much better if he nailed Sultans of Swing. but he didnt
I'm sorry but what about the R888 Toyo tyres and a car project in the background Mike? :))
Lucas Brar
Beautiful guitar, but man, use a pick and spare us all
Nice. Sultan of Swing

What my desk at home look like in virtual learning.... 3:33
No one care he’s flipen us off 2:48
Warmoth doesn't do nitro finishes though.
I'm 14 and I can play as good as mike

Dire Straits - Sultans Of Swing

You know theres somthing called FENDER coustom shop
Fender didn't have the options he wanted
Ugh please clean of the fingerprints it triggers me
Super slinky, a man after my own heart

Sultans of swing
