Hi is this a Les paul body?

The Gold top was an Excellent decision.

That’s a really good idea are you willing to make some and sell them ? I’d buy one

I like your headstock design. Cool!

In Australia, shouldn't Elwood be upside down?

The analysis function could be a game changer for me. Thanks for sharing

This is great, thanks for doing this Arran

Still love this one.

Absolutely gorgeous. I wonder if you may be a tiny bit insane and for that I applaud you. As a showcase for what you can do, this is a masterpiece.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. I'll have to come back to this video and download the software the next time I build I guitar with non-standard wiring.

I very much enjoyed watching this come together, guitar turned out awesome!

Looks great but I can't seem to find a Linux version.

G'day Aaran, Thanks for a great video. I'll have to download & install it, & check it out. Keep up the good work Andrew

Wow... thanks so much. I will definately make use of this. Like you, I seldom use standard wirings... and there are plenty of diagrams available for those! I am learning and love experimenting even though my wiring chops have a ways to go. On top of that, I'm also dyslexic - so transposing wiring upside down and backwards often leaves me scratching my head! I'd love to tune in as you progress.

This is a really great piece of software and this is a great demo! Cheers Dave

Good stuff! Glad to know this exists.

I couldn't find a pot and search DIY Layout Creator Pot and this was the first hit 🤣 I'm gonna have to go back and watch again for how to do a push/pull. Wish I knew how to do a blend pot as well...

This looks superb. Thanks for sharing and for taking the time to give such a detailed review Arran. I am damn near clueless with wiring so this will be very useful. I also think having pre-made to scale pickups and pots with wiring runs will be really handy for guitar plans

This is really interesting and useful I will investigate more

Man! Thank you for making this video! I've never seen this tool before. I've always just gathered diagrams/schematics of each "block" I want to implement, figure out the inputs and outputs of each one, then assemble the blocks individually, then connect the ins and outs. This makes it so much easier to plan that all out instead of just winging it like i do 😄

Yep - agreed, it's a really good tool. I used it for my latest over-complicated guitar rewiring project, and made things a lot easier to visualise/plan. Some of the wire options are a bit limited (would be cool to have multi-core cables supported natively) but that can be worked round. And having twin Alegree Chameleon humbuckers (6 wires), a Freeway 3x3-08 switch, 4 push-pull pots, and 2 DP3T switches was probably a bit of an outlier for "normal" use, so I couldn't make best use of its analysis capabilities 😀 Edit: the capacitor values etc can be useful for the "Create BOM" (bill of materials - as you covered) and also "Generate SPICE netlist" - which allows the circuit to be modelled.

Awesome. Glad to see your work.

wow love this guitar

Where did you earth the electrics ? Onto the bridge somewhere ? Thanks

Beautifully done!

Came out beautiful a very attractive guitar anyone would be proud to play and own.

Amazing👍

nice

whats up with the gap ,Fill it .

So I made one today, not off plans but from just the general idea, and it seemed pretty promising. I am making a tighter radius for my type of fiddles. So more curved than a guitar but I may have made it too small because I destroyed my wood. Should have used a test piece because I ruined a nice piece of bocote… Other than probably making it way too tight, my router sort of rocked sideways in a way that I wasn’t expecting. I’ll give it another shot but what a massive failure for my first attempt 😖

Lovely job, gorgeous guitar!

It’s my dream job to be a luthier but there aren’t any schools for it and hardly any music stores aside from guitar center where I live. I swear Id love to do it though, really a passion of mine. Anyway beautiful work, really hope I can get there one day👌

What do you use for the black veneer details? And what glues do you use with it? Thanks :) great build

I fully hoped that you would build a Ural-650 guitar😅

I use a cordless drill and the magic of maths to work out roughly how many turns by weight of wire on the bobbin. I did make a jig with a counter but found it was not needed. I have a hand cranked jig my grandfather made and it works fine if a bit slow. I like your machine but I probably won't build one because I'm too lazy.

finishing is super clean...wow

Excellent Video! This is exactly the route i`m taking. I have many basic tools from years of DIY, which I am now using to make all the jigs etc for guitar making/repair. I came to the same conclusion that having a known straight edge ( Crimson too!) and a set of radius gauges I can produce most of the equipment needed. Thanks for a great video.👍

I have a 100 dollar guitar that needs this desperately buying all the tools is the same as paying someone but I said screw it I got more time than money might as well learn. Now I'm just waiting on the tools thinking I wasted both my time and money lol.

Great video,like your son that guitar is going to age perfectly 👍

You did an amazing job..using the fret rocker at the end seems unnecessary. I've had to be extremely careful with rockers and metal straight edges to keep from scratching the frets.

Jesus Arran, that thing is beautiful. 😎

Fantastic design. I love the HS pickup configuration. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼

Another great build Arran, and it sounds great!😀👍

Looks lovey and sound very good as well.

Another amazing guitar! I've enjoyed watching you make this pair of guitars. Of the two i think this might be my favourite.

Another belter 👍👏👏👏👏👏

Very Nice Arran. Good to see you AND your guitars.

Lovely, a stunning build. Props to ya mate and thanks for the videos.

What a gorgeous guitar! The wood is beautiful. Great tones too!

Those look incredible!!!
