What's the SECRET to creating Incredible Guitar Tone?

What's the secret to creating incredible guitar tone? Well believe it or not the guitar components are hyper critical! You have to have an idea of exactly what you want BEFORE you start to build a guitar.

This Walnut Claro and Rosewood neck guitar build can give you unbelievable tone. The guitar is completed in this video and played in the next video. I show some of the secrets about the choice of pickups, tone woods, types of tremolo and tuners, and even a new switching unit from Obsidian Wire. And there is a special comment towards the end of the video.

I originally set out a number of months ago to make the Warmoth Claro Walnut guitar with its rosewood neck to be a brilliant tone guitar with many specifics to make incredible tones like no other - a tone monster in fact. Most will never show you what I do in this video. So I bought the parts, reviewed each part on my channel and then proceeded to make this video.

I don't go through each step of the build to the last degree simply because I have many videos on my channel showing the procedures. Suffice to say that I did create a great guitar.

gear in the build: Seymour Duncan custom sh-5, Seymour Duncan JB, Seymour Duncan YJM Fury (neck), Obsidian switcher, Fender locking tuners, Gotoh 510 tremolo, Rosewood neck. The neck and body are Warmoth. This is a typical Tony Mckenzie review with an important message. The Marshall amps are not in this video. Distortion of the tone is high with these pickups, the Seymour Duncan YJM fury is great, as is the Seymour Duncan sh-5 which will be covered in the playing video.

Towards the end and for a while since my last post I have grown disillusioned about a number of things that I do speak about in my video so what I would say at this point is that I might make more reviews and videos covering a number of subjects, but its less possible that I will create any videos other than what equipment that I have currently and that IS intentional. I do have quite a lot of gear that I have bought for review so there will be 'some' reviews, but who knows how many.

Want to buy one of my guitars? or other reviewed products? Ask me... I am cutting it all back.

It is clear to me that taking the losses of buying the gear, losing money when I sell it and generally getting hit for tax when even no money being made has had an effect on my outlook about video review work and no doubt... I 'might' be back..
