After 1 Year We Finally Finished Project 80s Shredder… Was It Worth It? - Video

This was the first build on the channel, and never got finished due to pickup issue. Well, it's done now.

This project started with our questionable Jackson Fusion “Don’t Smoke” copy and a simple idea: instead of treating a fake Jackson like something precious, why not use it as the foundation for the kind of ridiculous hot-rodded shred guitar we would have wanted in the ’80s?
And then we started throwing real vintage DiMarzio pickups and hardware at it.
What followed was considerably less simple.
Bad factory routing, cheap hardware, neck issues, fitting parts that weren't interested in fitting, wiring headaches, Floyd setup problems, questionable decisions and more than a few moments where this guitar probably deserved to go back into the corner.
But we kept screwing with it.
Now it's finally finished, and in the first half of this video we're doing what we couldn't do during the original build series: plugging it in, running through the finished guitar and finding out whether Project 80s Shredder actually became the metal machine we were trying to build.
And because the original project happened across multiple videos, I've attached the original build compilation after the demo. If you weren't around when we first built this thing—or you just want to watch all the mistakes, fabrication, troubleshooting and frustration that got us here—the entire story is there after the finished-guitar segment.
So you can watch the finished demo and call it a day…
…or stick around and watch how this stupid thing actually happened.
A fake Jackson. Vintage DiMarzios. A Floyd. A pile of questionable decisions.
Project 80s Shredder lives.
