This is genuinely pretty cool. Definitely will keep it in mind and maybe get a quote from them.

Just ordered an insane Telecaster Cabronita style from them, matched pretty much all but two of my specs, and were even able to start production right before they go on holiday. 390$ USD for a one of a kind guitar with high end specs is amazing. Would definitely order another custom guitar from them, they can pretty much build whatever you want.

By the way, two serious q’s. Can you tell us more about the email exchanges sometime? I’m just curious how many email exchanges it took to avoid any miscommunication and whether there were any language barriers? It’s a serious question to ask because it would help people to see how specific they need and the types of photos it helps to provide to be when ordering a custom from IYV (or anywhere else for that matter). I think it would be a really good lesson to understand that process when it’s done over email to ensure everyone who orders is really happy with the end result and aren’t saying what you did about - oops, I didn’t mention the part about the headstock. Maybe you’d even be willing to show us the email/s you wrote as examples? I think that would be a very helpful video follow up. Some people may prefer spending their money on upgrades rather than shipping costs (which benefits the factory more). I wonder if they’d be able to send guitars to the US by sea freight if someone doesn’t mind waiting longer if someone were to request it. I like the idea of taking a bolt on neck off prior to shipping to help reduce costs - great suggestion. Not sure if you used pedals or digital tones for your demos in both vids. That guitar sounds as good if not better than those from many major brands. It’s really flawless and the paint job is sick. It would be cool you could take a trip to Vietnam to visit their shop and show appreciation for their craftsmanship!

The process was pretty straight forward and there weren't a lot of emails back and forth. I provided pictures for everything and I put numbers on each picture. Then in the email, I had a numbered list explaining what I wanted related to those pics. This was actually a fairly simple custom order for them since they already do that body and headstock shape. Nothing seemed to be lost in translation luckily. As for shipping, you'd have to ask them. I would love to visit Vietnam one day. We'll see!

I always see Ivy when looking at the logo. Need a Bald Shredder green Poison Ivy model.

Oh wow, that's crazy that they'll just make what you want and still keep a low price. I had the idea to make a flat top Les Paul with comfort carves, and a bolt on all maple neck with an explorer headstock. I have an Epiphone Les Paul Special II that I wanted to do such modifications on but that's pretty risky. I did some other stuff to it though. From your experience, and after looking at the guitars on their website, it sounds like something they might be able to make, so I'll have to keep them in mind if I ever feel like going ahead with it!

None of the solos are double tracked. When you hear the harmonies, there are two tracks of course. I think it's a combination of my amp settings and way I play.

Anyone know if this guy does 9V compartments? I use a very specific setup on my guitars, a seymour Duncan Active Blackouts preamp, and either Duncan or GFS passive pickups, so I would have very little need to have anything but the blade or toggle switch prewired, and then everything else empty. Doesn't even need strings, tbh. I would have two setups in mind, but both would basically be the same, aside from actual pickup config.

I sent some killer specs to these guys and got a quote for $386.00 plus shipping of $150.00 If they deliver a good guitar as I ordered it will be a bargain. I set the bar very high on purpose and I told them that I will video the unboxing and send it to the Bald Shredder. They accepted the challenge. I said I need full images before shipping. I ordered a version of the neck through design. Here are my order specs. They sent me some images of the guitar before it is completed and it looks good so far. This guitar would be $3,000 in the U.S. They are a bit wonky to deal with but it appears that they will build anything. I hope to get it delivered in a couple of weeks. Maybe you will see the unboxing soon. I even ordered a custom headstock similar to the MusicMan style. EMG 81-85 pickups. Solid walnut wings (No veneer) Jumbo stainless-steel frets Rosewood fretboard Locking tuners black High gloss finish Floyd Rose Tremolo in black black hardware

this is very interesting..makes me curious to how much something with a crazy body style (not like as crazy as them basses) like something BC Rich'ish would run..Idk really much about other specs though..lol I just get guitars that feel good when I try them, though I kinda like the neck of the Ibanez rg/ Jem style guitars..

So the Angling of the headstock is known as a “Scarf Joint” creating an angle break to eliminate the issues of having a straight neck and headstock such as this beautiful guitar or any of the Strats or Tele’s.Indeed you must remember every little specification when building a guitar.Other than that you did well I love the Chocolate looking Necks and headstock I forget the type of wood I remember Fender made a strat with that Wood,Just Lovely thanks for sharing! #BUFFALO #NEWYORK

Correct but not correct. You got the right idea that an angled headstock removes the issues of string pull over the nut that's found on a straight headstock, but a scarf joint is just one way (normally considered a cheaper one) of achiving this. ESP's for example, carve the angle naturally out of a singular neck blank without a scarf joint. Pros and cons, of course, some people see scarf joins as a "cheap" option, and while yes it is cheaper and can fail spatacularlly if done badly, a good quality one can be just as strong, if not stronger, then carving it out of a single neck blank.

The guitar looks and sounds great👍question any thoughts on a ampeg vh 140c. I have a guy that wants to trade one for a chibson explorer. I know it's a stretch was hoping you may have ran across one

VH140C is one of, if not the best solid state amp from its era. Awesome for metal, and then it has stereo chorus. If you can get a good deal on one, do it.

Super tempted here i reached out to see if they could do something i was on the verge of dropping almost 4k on a custom through balaguer so this might be a major life saver money wise

Dude! Do NOT spend 4k on a guitar. Give IYV a try. Even if you have to upgrade, setup, or fix a few things, you'll save over 3k.

@@thebaldshredder I reached out to them so I'll see when I get an email back if I do get it I'll make sure to get some photos and videos for people this company needs to be more known if they are doing good on a budget

it's a killer guitar

Does IYV ship these to the UK or is it North America/Canada only?

They will ship to the UK.

I wish u could tab that song out for us.

It would be VERY interesting if we could see a luthier send in a design that would be a Gib/Fender custom shop or modified signature model to see what how nuts IYV will go when they get plans from a guy that knows how to communicate very precise order instructions. From the observations ive made, this company seems very open to doing everything you tell them with the two main caveats being not great pickups and tuners/bridge and that most buyers dont know how to ask for what they think they are asking for.

Actually I was very specific about my requests and included lots of pictures. They did everything according to my requests. I just forgot to tell them to angle back the headstock. But that was my fault.

I am wondering how much a guitar with locking tremelow & fine tunners would cost? I have not had good luck with a cheap floyd rose, I prefer the Westone style fine tunners.

Email them and ask.

I had a good guess that the headstock not being a tilt back was the one thing they did that you forgot to specify. I don't think its that big of an issue though, especially it being a hardtail and straight pull through the nut. If you don't want to add another string tree, why not try staggered locking tuners.

You guessed it! Like you said, not really a big deal. I haven't decided what I'll do yet. Thanks for the suggestion.

@@thebaldshredder I recently got into headless NK guitars. No more headstocks and tuning instability to deal with. I love my Jacksons but those headstocks just don't hold tune very well. Nk also does custom orders and have amazing quality. They blow my Eart headless out of the water. I find them very comparable to my $700 x and $1000 pro series Jacksons. You should check them out.

What pickups and hardware did you opt for?

@thebaldshredder

Жыл бұрын

This is a customized version of their IS-400 HH model. Basswood body, maple neck, roasted jatoba fretboard, flame maple top, satin finish, 2 humbuckers, 1 volume, 3 way blade switch, reverse headstock, locking tuners, 24 jumbo frets, C shaped neck profile, and hardtail bridge. The pickups say Destiny CNC Wound. This is their own in house pickup brand. All of the hardware is generic from the factory.

Are all the frets level? That is one thing that I prefer not to have to do.

Nice guitar for sure, although im pretty convinced that you could put a literal plank of wood with a neck and pickups on it and youd make it sound good
