This is great! Looking forward to binge watching the rest of this series! Lots of great info already!

I'm new to your channel and a new customer at your website. I've been looking for some of the jigs you make for a very long time! As a vet myself, thank you for your service. Love your videos and looking forward to receiving my first order.

Premium build, look into the VegaTrem bridge. Best wiggle stick for a Strat hands down…!!!

Thank you Stephen...hope you continue to enjoy the series.

So I graduated from the Musician's Institute Guitar Craft Academy in Nashville in 2019 and I've been building guitars since then, built and sold about 18 guitars and basses at this point. However, I've found myself getting sloppy and forgetting techniques and getting caught up in the rush to build for clients. I've been watching your videos and your attention to detail is exactly what I've needed to snap myself back into some building discipline. I've decided to build a Strat with all your templates and follow your methods (except for the fret slotting, I have a purpose-built fret slotting power saw for that and I also use a dead-head sander for neck shaping). I really appreciate your approach and I'm looking forward to slowing down and building a guitar along with your videos. Thanks, so glad I found your channel. FYI, as an older person with my "real" career behind me I have a very well-stocked shop with the planers/jointers, bandsaws, etc... but when I saw your video with Matt using the horizontal bandsaw I had to go get my wife and tell her "Now THAT'S a tool I gotta have!"...

Ok, Steve’s not joking...as I said in the video I made on them - IMO the MGW knobs really are the best knobs available! Fit, finish, appearance, quality, etc. all top notch.

I came across your channel by accident. I live in the UK and find your videos brilliant and intend on getting some of your template very soon. Your content is very informative, thank you.

Hi! Thank you for your time! As a teacher I very much appreciate your life philosophy as well as you teaching and craftsman’s skill. I started building electric guitars 1995 but got stuck playing them ending up as a guitar teacher. Now I’m putting together a small wood workshop to per-sue the guitar building path. Regards /Jonas

love the new intro scenery

Judging from this introductory video the rest of the series is going to be awesome - can't wait to get into the series and build along [already emailed for the documentation] thanks so much for this series - cheers from Canada

Just had the best news today. Your full strat course begins! Your information and in depth tuition are simply second to none.I recommend them to everyone. Sincere thanks for putting it out there Steve.( bladerunner trem looks interesting too.)

Hey Paul...thanks for the nice comments. I have totally abandoned any idea of trying to make short videos...I say what I feel like I need to say...people can choose to watch what they want. I also really appreciate spreading information about my channel. Since I refuse to play by the KZread guidance (as explained in my Intro video), the best way for people to hear about my content is by word of mouth. Thanks for your help.

Hi Steve, thanks for sharing this new series on your Strat style build. The documentation package that you introduced in this video and have now shared with me is "Excellent"! It is has brought another level of structure and organization to my Tele build. I am confident that with your templates and the expert guidance shared in your videos that I will be successful in creating a awesome instrument. Thanks again!

No doubt that you will be successful Randy...thanks for your thoughts. As I tell my students...your next guitar will be better than your last...just keep striving for excellence. It is the increased safety margin of my templates that I am most happy about for my students. Don't hesitate to contact me if you need anything...or have questions.

Appreciate your videos. This channel is one of the the best when it comes to education and how to build a guitar. Thanks for sharing your craftsmanship, would be happy if you stay on KZread. (I always start with excellence, hardly ever end in excellence. )

@@maximumguitarworks thank you very much. Social media ist quite a jungle. I don’t understand why you don’t have more subscribers considering the excellent high quality content. I think one reason could be, that KZread doesn’t gain any revenue, when advertisement can’t be placed. I personally wouldn’t mind advertisement. In the end it would be nice to know that a huge audience can appreciate and profit from your efforts. I can also understand that KZread has to maintain a complex infrastructure. I personally haven’t even started with my first guitar project but I learned from you so many things.

Another proud owner of the Tele Template system and 3 pairs of the MGW knobs. Both are excellent workmanship and design. Steve, maybe check out the other Steve on KZread....Steve Ramsey from Woodworking for Mere Mortals and how he has his paid courses on his website. He does all the content and production himself as well, but nicely laid out courses.-Rich

Highly do not recommend SUPER VEE BLADE RUNEER too many problems like for example, even with two springs still too hard to use and chances are you will break the handle as it happened to me (also can not do a FLUTTER), even during the warranty period did not get back an answer after a few miles and I had to buy a handle, another very important thing is intonation , Because of the addition of the "flexible" metal the distance from the connection of the screws to the saddles is larger and it turns out that the high E's saddle falls on the "flexible" metal, in the end I switched to the GOTOH 510 which is really the best

Thanks for the information. I have a few on hand...so I will give them a try. I have used the Maverick series before...and really liked them for an alternative to a traditional Tele fixed bridge. Yes, it is Dive Only...but on a Tele that could be a good thing. But I hear what you are saying. My customers seem to really like the Hipshot tremolo's I normally use...but I never stop looking for other options. I might need to design my own Trem to get everything I want.

Went to your site to get a price and buy a template or two and nothings listed....
