how thick is the body good lord this must weight a lot

Me too. I got started guitar making because I couldn't afford a PRS custom shop.

your guitar looks nice I think. It would be nice to see a completed picture up close of it so we could see the finished product. MIke

Beautiful guitar!

I love watching just for the woodworking craftmanship, but then the clunky soldering gun comes out and my inner NASA Certified Soldering expert comes out and screams "Nooooooooo!!!" in the background..... 🤣

Capolavoro… per favore trova uno che la testi a dovere, se lo merita un capolavoro così

Great video. At 30:33 you apply the first finish step. What is the finish? Thank you in advance. New to your channel.

Very good job sir. The high quality wood make the diference.

Wowww you got a nice workshop there. I only saw the video title and thought : Okay I wanna see that , building a guitar ain't peanuts. Seeing all the machinery it was obvious this wasn't your first project😁 You got skills and the right tools, perfect combi to make good stuff, like that guitar. Well done!

Nice guitar and great build video, but for the love of god, find a better guitarist to demo for you.... my ears hurt..

Welcome back man, I hope you make voiceover videos again!

Absolutely brilliant work nice to see you back again I missed your videos please make more of them I enjoy them very much great job thank you

Good to see you back. Beautiful work as always!

I always loved the idea of "Barncaster" type guitars but I don't really like teles and strats that much so it's cool to see something similar with a different shape for once

I watch ALL of your videos & wish just once you would do something like THIS^^^ as a Bass Guitar

Happy New Year. Nice take on a headless V, and with an Endur Neck to boot. Nice overall proportions too. Black/ gold is always classy, and does make the Ziricote fretboard pop - but not going to lie - I would have really liked to see what the red would have done once the finish was applied to it. (Especially if you'd done an oil finish, like the neck) I love seeing what new ways you have come up with to create the Orbital logo, and how it appears once you start sanding. I've seen the crushed stone versions - but the metal powder is really nice.

Yup, this is ART!

That's a long video man. 🤣 Good sharp hand tools are the bee's knees. Love mine. 😎

happy new year man! your videos inspire me a lot)

Good to see you back!

Hey hey you're back! WB! 😀

Currently playing this game for the first time. The second I laid eyes on this I thought "someone on YT definitely made this guitar, I need to find that video." So here I am. Well done.

I tried the link for the competition, I was told it was not secure!

I like when a offset color of wood is used for a biding. At an angle

What was that tool you used with the diamond shaped i. It used for rough shaping ?

Damn buitiful!

why is it a different guy playing it?

Very nice video. I wonder why you didn't finish the lacquer with buffer? Why that orange peel finishing?

show me how perform 1st

I don't believe that you can't afford it--but why would you want to buy one if you have the tools, knowledge, and skill (and the wood!) to make something better?

Dan where did you get that killer fret hammer? That's nice!

12:54 - Ultra-cut compound for polishing. Nice

That tailpiece is ugly as sin.

Great great work what a beautiful guitar !

Enjoyed the video thanks, I think the only negative is the orange peel in the lacquer but it’s a guitar at the end of the day. Well done.

Beautiful craftsmanship, love that marble color wood and ebony 👍🏾

Looks great, but why didn't you sand and polish the top?

Just came across your video and am really excited for you!!! This is no half-assed attempt, this is the real deal!! The woods, the detail and the equipment that went into this guitar is fabulous!! It’s been 6 months since you posted this video and I am wondering how many requests you’ve received for you to build other guitars for people? If I had the $$ I’d be asking you, that’s for sure. Congratulations on one hell of a build. Thanks for a GREAT video as well…

Fantastic work Dan! That is one heck of an instrument.

Is this gentleman in the US or Canada?

Guess folks don't realize what it takes to build a guitar and film the whole thing. Then edit, add audio, post it, and have every jackass west of the Mississippi come in and give their two cents. Folks if you want to talk smack about the build then at least have the balls to post your own work showing us what an expert you are. We can all learn something. Then everyone won't think you are the asshole you really are for being a jerk to a guy sharing his build with us. Some of us appreciate the work he did and like the build.

Beautiful guitar

Very cool build

As usual, a mistake in the hands of a craftsman turns into a beautiful touch. Nice work! Honestly, that top offsets any finish issues. That's just me but I'm pretty picky at times. That is still a damn nice instrument. That should sell.

Fabulous work my friend!

Beautiful work

I know which onw I wouls prefer to play and own. And it isn't a PRS. Congratulations on your artistry.

I find it hard to believe you have the small amount of subscribers that you have considering the incredibly beautiful instruments you make. Keep these beautiful builds coming.

Surprised by the comments here liking this PRS Inspired build.....I guess you could say PRS players and die-hard owners are like Diamondback fans, while Gibson and Fender have the Dodgers fans.

How is the building going and why are you selling the templates? Not giving up right?!?!
