Hey Ben, any chance of a video on your techniques for doing the Fallout motif? Doing the randomize pater with the leaf shouldn’t be hard but weathering it without doing a blue patina is what I’m after! Thanks for the awesome videos and content! Love it all!

2025-07-11 00:35:15 +0000 UTCI think the oxidised copper finished pickups with the plain black guard looked off the charts aesthetic wise

2025-07-06 19:11:42 +0000 UTCYour sound description of the pickups is spot on. Love the Dimarzios for a different tone. I would try the distressed bare knuckle covers to match the volume knob, or a set of cream would look great. Not a big fan of the green…but not a deal breaker by any means. Killer demo to show off the pickup differences…both sound fantastic!

2025-07-05 19:30:31 +0000 UTCNice one, B. regarding the problem you mentioned with the action, make sure the neck hasn't been pulled up while you were messing around. You might want to re-seat the neck, by just loosening the screws (not all the way, just a few turns!) while the strings are on it and then re-tightening them to see if it fixes the action issue and pulls the neck tighter into the joint.

2025-07-05 14:49:14 +0000 UTCThe distressed leaf is honestly one of the best finishes I've seen on a guitar. I think it sounds a little better with the Dimarzios too. Hear me out real quick on the pickguard; is there a way to do one that looks like a weathered Radioactive hazard sign? You know, make it look beat up and faded with some copper leaf spots to mimic rust? I know that's definitely way more work, just an idea I had.

2025-07-04 22:27:52 +0000 UTCOK for what it’s worth I like the sound of the new PUs minus the crackling but for the aesthetic, I’d go w/ the black mirror pick guard and the oxidized pickup covers like what you had on there before. I think that would pull it all together.
