You description of being drawn in to an illusion and believing it, was very well described. It has just happened in your country and it will take a long time to recover, if at all. Here in Australia, we can't believe how many people got sucked in by the rantings of a Clown and it is going to effect us here, along with the rest of the world.

Hi, so am i wrong if I'm looking for 26.5 scale length? My goal is to play Drop A on 012 string gauge.

beautiful piece, love the lines on it. also I enjoyed listening to the philosophical monologue

I can see like a teal green

42k is crazy but also not surprising in America, I hope you good luck paying it off. I personally can't wait to leave the united states.

Great! You would have to wear those saddles knowing damn well I have a foot fetish! LOL..

Hi Will, she's a beauty. What does 0GS stand for??? Just curious

Heah I must say that your fine shaping on all of the neck lines is really bringing this one piece solid together as a very fine musical instrument

love seeing you back at it Will. GodSpeed

42k is fucking ridiculous. As for the colour, I don't know because I'm used to looking at it like this. Maybe a sunburst, seeing as it's mahogany.

Natural!

I'm still gonna hit the donation page. Been down a few days after the dentist visit. Took half my mouth lol. Starting to feel better. Peace.

it's always nice to keep an eye on both sides and keep your level your ownself to not get sucked up into the debt and death mentality war and chaos ....the natural look is always clean always stays a certain vibration of creating more from noting seeing the grains as a story as a song writer would pull the words from thin air living the now !

Have you ever made a fatback neck profile with a 1 5/8" nut?

Great job on the Goldtop 👍

I have a Gibson lucille guitar. Back in 1995 my luthier told me about Tom Holmes pickups. Well I wound up phoning him. He sold me a set of his humbucking pickups for $250.00 . Well these pickups sound ok but they aren't magic sounding or different than any other pickups. They are fine but nothing special. Now apparently these pickups on Reverb or Ebay go for huge sums of money. I would trade these pickups today for some Seymour Duncan's. It's all a myth about a lot of these pickups today that sell for huge money and all of my Gibsons sound the same. They are all 30 years old and still sound the same as when I bought them. Just my own personal observation.

Hi Will, I am a Canadian in Niagara Falls. I have watched your channel for a few years now. Have always loved the videos. Just wanted to comment on what you were saying about all the marketing bs that says you have to buy all this certain gear to sound great. I am guilty of chasing tone and pedals and amps and guitars. I have a Vox AC30BM rebuilt by Michael Klein in Missouri and I have a 1965 Fender Bandmaster ND a Blues Deville and a Ceriatone JTM45 and a Ceriatone HRM Dumble clone and a Mesa Tremoverb amp modded by Voodoo Amps. So I have a not bad collection here, but the point I want to make is that yes you do need some half decent gear to sound good. I own several Gibsons and Fender guitars. But to be honest, it doesn't matter because even with all this equipment I still sound like myself. I will never be exceptionally talented like most people. It really boils down to how talented you are and how well you play. All the top gear won't magically make you like your favourite guitarist like Clapton a or any other famous guy. People just like me get caught up in spending thousands of dollars on gear and still sound only like myself. So yeah, chasing gear is not a be all end all.

NOBODY IN THE WORLD HOLDS THEIR GUITAR LIKE THIS!!! If you're going to view the guitar correctly, the fretboard would be more DIAGONAL than straight up and down, BUT, certainly more straight up and down than horizontally. Not only that, but 95% are RIGHT HAND DOMINANT! You're showing them a fretboard that would be only be viewed this way ONLY BY LEFTIES who are only 5% of all players!!

I think as a general rule, when guitar players say tone, what they actually mean is feel.

What I found interesting on the difference between the Fender and Gibson on the A string is how the low frequency response of the Gibson seemed to have an envelope of a slower attack, which once that did more fully set in sounded just like the Fender. Anyway, great work as always, Will!

Handily you can now order custom string guages from Stringjoy, and they have a great string tension calculator on their website to help you figure out what you're looking for. No more mixing string packages to get what you're after.

Very well explained. Great vid!

I thought you always drew X's to mark your fret markers. Another thing you can do is just put the tip of the pencil in the end of the slot and push the ruler up against it. Saves moving the ruler around a bunch. You could probably do it blindfolded that way.

I remember way back you thought about buying a cnc machine, that was about the time you wanted to do the grab bag guitar thing. Are you still planning to buy a cnc machine some day or is that just not sensible?

This may be a dumb question, but could a guitar be made out of carbon fiber, or partially and still work worth a damn?

Do you ever go in the ocean? I find it rejuvenating, especially when the water is on the cold side.

I love watching your guitar building videos. I hope you're well. Thanks for sharing!

Go for it.

It's great to see you working on guitars again.

Hopefully this one will be blue or pink 💅

Wow, so happy I found your channel

I'll hit the donation page one more time. Just dropped seven grand at the dentist

I really enjoy your videos and your good information. This one piece of great wood is exceptional, I just wish it were an hourglass shape with the neck pocket ( of course it doesn’t have one ) coming in on the sides of the neck up to about the 18th fret . In other words kind of a droopy shouldered Tele before the cutout was decided upon .

Good luck! Been watching since tone wood myth video. Best wishes!

Looking good man id like to win them all 😂.....

Good luck <3
