Donner Project Part 3: Guitar Rebuild! Will it be playable?
The final instalment of this Donner Project guitar, and it’s a long one… but we play it at the end! In this episode we do the final rebuild with a few issues along the way that gets repaired/machined to get to a strings-on guitar. Quick setup off camera to save time.
For a closer look at how I set up Telecasters and T-Style guitars, see this video: https://youtu.be/4UmmJje92jY?si=JrglchN2r61ss-yZ
I give my thoughts on cheap guitars over spending a little more up front. Always get the best you can reasonably get, best to stick to well known brands that have been around vs. Amazon deals.
