Tru-Oil is a great product with many applications. I just did a custom paint job on my honey's hard hat ⛑️ and i used true oil over red line (street) paint with a bunch of glitter. Took a lot of coats (airbrushed on) but it came out great. All her girlfriends at work we're going nutty over the bling. I'm still having fun exploring all the use's of Tru-Oil

Oh, sure, very nice response from them. Thank you 😊

Sorry for your luck on the bad hardware, but honestly, it's an easy fix and well worth the time & effort to do. After reading, literally hundreds of positive reviews on this guitar over the years, my experience included, I would say, replace the pots and play it. Or just sell it and get your $ out of it. It's one of my personal favorite IYV guitars 🎸

I ❤ silver falls cool shirt

Thanks on the shirt. It's a great little hamburger joint on the way to Silver Falls. It's called Silver Falls Country store, worth it, no doubt 👌 Congratulations on your new guitar, it's a cool looking and a good player as well. You may need a bit of setup, so just find a local shop and have it setup if you don't know how. Enjoy

I'm glad you found your sound. That's great. I did, too, with this combo

Juanita, you are such gem 💎 💖 thank you

Excellent

Buy an inexpensive rotary tool, then buy some diamond drill bits at Harbor Fright, set up and practice on a small rock 🪨 that you don't care as much about. Watch the video again just before you start. You got this

Really great deal for the price. I did much the same, I also added some Bootstrap Pickups & a 4-way Grigsby switch, which added some pep and variety, but I didn't have to. In fact, I put the pickups from this into a Sawtooth Tele project I had, and they work great 👍 Thanks for sharing your story 😊

Thank you, it's still these many months later, one of my favorite strat style guitars. I've since done a bunch of fun mods, but essentially, it's still the "bones" of the guitar . Good luck to you

@@dennyps1 Thanks

Having owned many of both, I don't completely agree, but I know a Squire upgraded with a bit of hardware and a great setup is very close.

Congratulations 🎊

Good choice! I would, too. I wished I had not sold my Carlo Robelli. It's a great guitar. The set I put in my Monoprice two tone blue rock! Transformed the sound.

Thank you, and it's very nice of you to say. Do you own Bootstrap pickups?

Thank you. You can do it. there are lots of great videos on soldering techniques on RUclips

Thanks...I think 🤔??

Absolutely

I hear you and thank you. I go in moods with my IYV guitars. One day, my favorite is this one, and then the next time I play, it's that one. As I sit and write this, I look up to my favorite 3 IYV guitar's some days, it hard to choose. 😅🤣😂

Someday grasshopper 😅🤣😂 your so full of it, you know you can play ▶️

I can’t even play the radio. I am taking kazoo, triangle, cowbell and, air guitar lessons though. Unfortunately, I am in the remedial class of all four of those though!😮😆

@@kramusic 😅🤣😂 I guess that makes you a cheerleader in your current band 😅🤣😂 and here I thought you we're rocking out with boys

😂😂😂😂😂

Thanks so much! Unless you get a bad one (which you can always send back), it's a great guitar, and you just can't go wrong with it. If you're not savvy to setting up a trem system, watch a few videos and get it set up, and it works good. Good luck, and thanks again!

Preaching to the choir, my friend, I couldn't have said it any better myself

Sorry brother, I don't. I also considered replacing mine, but after some research and asking around on fb, it appears that it's a cheap part made in China, and that's why I repaired versus replaced it. I couldn't find one either, at least the exact spec one.

Hi 👋 after a bit of searching, I found a guy who found the replacement part # for the headphone jack. However, he did not post where he got it. I msg'd him for a location, and I will get back to you on this. In the meantime, here is the replacement part number: PJ3053

Okay, I found a guy who actually gave me a link to an after-market replacement part. Hopefully, this comes through and works for you. You have to buy 10 of them, but given it's less than $5 bucks, it's worth it www.ebay.com/itm/171098281641?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=S1rF9Wx7SIO&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=jwXPid1XTCK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Hi 👋 and thanks for watching. I can honestly say that after doing a few mods & a great setup to this guitar It's still in my top 5 favorite playing guitars. Is it good for a beginner? Sure, but keep in mind that almost any guitar you buy will need a good setup, maybe a nut change. It will definitely new strings. As to all the features it has, for a brand new guitar player, you simply won't need them for a while. But bang for your buck, it's a great buy. Your mileage may vary, that only you'll know after you own it

@@dennyps1 would it be better if I purchased one from a guitar store? It would cost me more money, but the guitars they sell they make sure are set up properly before it walks out the door. It would run me about $150 more.

@cweber9112 Okay, maybe in your store, that's the case, but certainly not all guitar/music stores do a complete setup on their sold or even display guitar's, in fact most don't even change the strings, they are just required to make it reasonably playable. If you've got a guitar & store that does good setups in mind, that's great. Considering that the Donner i received needed very little in the way of setup, it'soverall a great deal (I'm a pro so my wants and needs will be very different than what a new guitar player actually needs to get started). Most setups in my town Portland metro area run between $50 & $75 . So, assuming the guitar didn't need anything major, you'd be ahead in the $ department

Thanks so much! It's transformation is well documented on several different videos 📹 👌 Be well and take care

May I suggest that before you make that change that you join the fb group IYV guitar fans and ask your question there. You will get some direct drop-in replacement tuner options. As well as advice on how to get ur done

@@dennyps1 well I would but I don't have Facebook and I don't really plan on getting it anytime soon

@Poeticskulls then get out your measuring tools and measure 3 times everything, then buy once. Personally, the tuners on mine are rock solid, and I never had an issue with them. Good luck. You can do it

@@dennyps1 thank you for the advice. I'll subscribe now

That would have been my advice as well. With careful measurements, you don't run into disasters later. Good luck with your new pickups, I hope you find the sound you're looking for! Personally, I like the sound of the CNC wound pickups and I have no intentions of changing mine out.

I don't know, and after I changed the controls out completely, I never looked back. Good luck

Sure, there would be enough room for a humbucker in the bridge. Of course, you may need to customize the new pickguard holes. This has a 60's 12 screw hole design

Sure, that's what we're using here is a knock-off rotary tool. The key is in the diamond bits. Start out with a cheap set you can get at Harbor freight

@@dennyps1 awesome thanks for the info and great video

Thank you, and sorry I don't not in numbers but are easily comparable to Fender C neck but with a D fretboard radius. Hope this helps

I'm glad the Tex-Mex worked out for you, I actually have mine a bit father away than Fender specs by several mm's and experimented with even father away they worked okay as well
