I Built A DIY Custom Shop Guitar | Part 2 | #DIYKitChallenge22 | Guitar Tweakz

#custom guitar #diyguitar
After nearly two months and countless hours of work I'M DONE with my DIY guitar.
There was some trouble with the bridge and my fingers still hurt from all the carving but it was soooo worth it. It pretty much ended up being a custom shop guitar.
Enjoy Guitar Tweakz!

** Why the "Includes paid promotion" message? **
According to german laws everyone has to mark their videos as advertisements as soon as there's a single "subject relevant" product, tag or link in it. Even if you didn't get paid for making that video. Sounds confusing and it really doesn't help the viewer to see which is a paid review and which isn't.
--- The line of truth: Is this actually a paid review? Mojotone and Gotoh supplied the parts for this build, so technically it's a paid promotion. (I update this line for every video).

In addition to your amazing playing, general guitar knowledge and video editing skills, I think your channel is one of the best if not, the best DIY/Mods channel for guitar out there! Cheers man, very well done!

[jamesjohanson]

it was hard to watch the relic job ..but it looks great.. one of the best looking jazzmastet/mustang style guitars i have seen

[boomerbassmeme]

The blue is nice but I actually preferred the gold. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is awesome! Well done Kris! 😊👍

[MurrayWilliams]

Oh Kris, how did you not lose your mind with all that scraping? Wow!

[insidious.]

Let's be honest, if this man doesn't deserve to have a million subscribers, then who deserves it? I've never seen anyone so dedicated to his videos and his work at the same time. On every fuckin' detail man. Thanks Kris.

[davidmbas]

Name it? Easy! ready????
thanks for the vids as always great!. never miss one, Now I wanna do another build myself darn it.

[goodboid]

Uff... what an amazing build! Your passion for guitars drips through the screen.

"Bootcaster"

That design looks like something etched on a cowboy's boot

Dude. That’s really impressive. I always knew you were a great luthier, but the work you did on this guitar is in a whole other level!! Congrats, my friend!!!

[kevinmatthews]

Absolutely incredible. Such a beauty. I can hear the pride in your voice. I would name "Caster Chandelier". I don't know why. Just seems right.

[scratchpadski]

Great vid and effort was well worth it Kris!

[DrummClem]

That wiring is incredibly satisfying.
You did an awesome job here !

[ToddTheJoker]

Wowzer Kris! Great looking guitar! two p90s, it has to be called the Barocsi Special!

[orryfishburne]

Im impressed u were able to scratch the blue away without taking off the gold as well. Looks awesome!

[mauikrawalski]

This video is a brilliant all in one package of music, build instruction and demonstration! I would call this a "Kristring" guitar! There are too much "...caster" named...

[Barryer]

That looks really well put together, Kris. The bound neck and the matching headstock, and the color with the black guard and P90s—nice colorway!
Name: Taco-caster

[sublyme]

Turned out great Kris, well done! And thanks for taking us along for the journey :)

[irondavebennett]

Really enjoyed this 2 part build. Attention to detail and sand sand sand, but we both know. The result is only as good as the preparation and your prep is top notch KB. Great relic techniques, thanks, just added a few to my book of favorites. Never really was keen on this body shape. But, your build has given me a new appreciation and I think it looks absolutely wicked! Love the cts pots, and the oil filled cap, switch craft jack. Can't go wrong with what works so well. Sounds excellent, and looks like it is easy play.
The name of this build should be Krelic Master as it is a heavy relic Jazz Master design made by Kris Barocsi.

Don't be humble, Krelic Master is definitely worth being on a Barocsi custom. After thoughts, Krelicaster or Relicaster have a nice ring to them. You are donating it for the cause. Sounds cool KB, cheers!

[TexasJackdaw]

Nice build and beautifully edited video. Great playing. Had to like and subscribe!

[JoeKyser]

For pickgaurds, if I have one already in the shape I want, I use that as a template and use a router flush cut bit. I use the smallest one. They are pretty tiny. Then hit the outside edge with a chamfer

[TheFeatalion]

That looks incredible, what a nice work done! I would call the guitar "The Blue Lily" because it reminds me that awesome flower a lot: it is blue with golden/red stamina and, of course, green stem and lower leafs.
