I Turned a Budget Sonicake Into a Guitar Worth Winning! @Musiclily

The Sonicake Upgrade Giveaway Series comes to an end! In this final installment, I finish assembling and setting up the guitar, dial in the electronics, check the action and intonation, and put the upgraded Sonicake through its paces with sound demos. This project wouldn't have been possible without the incredible support of Musiclily, who supplied many of the upgrade parts, and Jon from Smoke Eater Guitars, whose neck helped take this build to the next level. What started as a budget guitar has been transformed into something truly special. And now for the best part... one lucky viewer is going to win it! 🎸 HOW TO ENTER Leave a comment containing #EnterToWin on this video and you'll be entered into the giveaway drawing.
