I Finally re-Finished my Squier Super Sonic + 10 total pickup settings & a kill switch

This video took 6 months to make, because I took off like 5 months in the middle.

How to wreck a perfectly good guitar! Don't try this at home unless you want a fucked up looking guitar!

[tomieilamo]

Editing Ryan was going nuts with the time lapse music at around 27:00, truly an avantgarde masterpiece!

[ronandougherty]

These modding vids are by far my favorite thing you do here (besides all the surfy stuff of course).

Tuning stability tips - strings go sharp, nut slots need to be wider. Strings go flat, try using your thumb and pressing down fairly hard a half inch or so in front of the saddle to seat the ball ends. Strings a mix of flat and sharp usually means the trem anchor screws are not set properly. To fix this you need a feeler gauge set. Take the strings off, back of the spring tension to where you can operate the trem easily, raise all screws up, make sure base plate is flush against body take your .010" (0.25 mm) feeler gauge and place it on top of base plate in front of screws and lower screws until each one kisses the feeler gauge. Once that is done, check the screw head heights for evenness with a fret rocker or a straight edge. Now the trem should operate smoothly without catching or walking up/down the screws. From there restring, setup, cross ur fingers & good luck. Thx for all the great content.

I love how Ryan's beard is like 2 inches longer at the end of the video! This project took some time!

That is the best looking relic job I've seen honestly and I hate relic jobs but yours looks like a boat that's been in dry dock for 50 years....impressive...that's a relic job I could appreciate! Well done!

This is why I love your channel Ryan. I get entertained, satisfy my guitar nerdiness and some inspiration AND... You have no snobbishness around budget and cheaper gear. Which, in the real world is what many of us can only afford. You show what's possible and always show a genuine positive enthusiasm for everything guitar. Keep up the good work.

Amazing job, Ryan! I'd love to have a guitar with that finish! 👍👍 Make sure you use a respirator any time you use a catalyzed aerosol like primer or clearcoat. They can get into your lungs and harden, which is the worst of the worst. I almost died from it, TBH. Because no one told me. So, I sprayed primer and clear with no respirator when I was doing automotive refinishing and it almost killed me.

I had surgery on my lung and the surgeon had to go in and try to clean that, crap out of my lung. He said it was like cleaning play-d'oh out of carpet. That, was after they drained over 2 liters of fluid out of my chest. It was so much that it was crushing my heart to half its normal size so that my BPM at rest was 100+ no matter what. It was beating twice as fast to keep up with the amount of blood it needed to pump. The doc said I literally could've died at any time.

Use a 3M respirator with the proper filters. Don't take a chance. Not even once.

Oh, and dang, that wiring harness brought SO much life to those dead pickups. I'm glad you put the stock pickups back in there so you and we could hear what a different that wiring harness made!

[blairswitchproject]

Man the purple and green looked killer! A burst starting with green and fading out into purple and then the black outer edge would look sweet.

[bipbipletucha]

That time-lapse music fills me with joy every time

[DavidHBurkart]

That is your coolest refin-mod yet!! I would totally rock that quirky axe!!!

You should call this guitar the "Squyran"!!

Swap out those tuners with a set you know are solid to see if the stock tuners are defective. If it maintains tune, you know it's not the truss rod... but before you do that, shelf it for another five months 😉

[hailmaryrecordings]

I had a Scotty-dog growing-up named “Squire”, so I’ve always had a soft-spot for the brand.

I bought my first squire recently. It’s an offset Telecaster (surf green) and it needs some work, but I’m impressed with the quality of squires over the past few years. This one has a gorgeous neck & I’m looking forward to getting it up to my specs.

[Rotceh-rg]

Odding is a labor of love. Nice job!!! The kill switch should be standard in all modern instruments. I love mine.
Again, good job, buddy. Nice tune at the end.

[tundratom]

Ryan, you crack me up. Love the honesty and self deprecating humor! Keep up the great work and playing!

[MalcolmO]

Great outro, man! You really had something going there. Thanks a lot for that. To be fair, tuning issues aside, I was a big fan of the stock SuperSonic. Even liked the colour. Great look, great sound, and the pickups were screamers! I really thought of the original as an unruly rock machine and I kept on thinking about it after you debuted it. Now it's _still_ an unruly rock machine but now it's one of a kind and that uniqueness was in the outro. Time and effort well spent, Ryan. Good on ya!

[artartpal]

This is why I love this channel. Not afraid to fess up you messed up and you just have fun with it all. I hate every other guitar channel

[alexanderball]

Purple and green are my favourite colours. Loved the way that burst looked!

[fundude]

When I was 4 years old, I was asked to stop coming to my sister's orchestra recitals becasue I sprinted out of the room when the violins started shouting 'STOP THE NOISE!'

I got the same feeling when multiple instances of the time lapse music started playing out of time 😅

Personally loooove the look of the new finish.

26:36 with the background loop going 3 times is a trip. Great build!
