Perfect lesson. Domo Arigato, Sensei!

Love the natural finish on the Tornelli one and love the bevels on the Sweet T one, both beautiful guitars!

Have you ever tried shaping the neck on a belt sander? I've watched videos of guys shaping necks in minutes using a belt sander or deadhead sander that fits between the volute and heel. They start by faceting the corners then quickly work into rounding.

The back and forth conversations in these types of videos is a great concept. Talking about all aspects of the builds and the thinking behind decisions is really informative and interesting. Awesome builds yet again!!

came here because it said Les Pauls, video proceeds to show not a single Les Paul

Beautiful guitars! Glad to see the final products!

Great video! The guitars both look fantastic!! The outtakes were hilarious 😂

Brilliant. Many thanks

Was wondering just the other day where you were, Gio; so good to see you back, and together with Todd. Lovely looking guitars too, both of them!

It’s is SO good to have you both back online guys. Love both Les Pauls, each of your own design languages are right on point too. You know it’s going to be a great video when Todd has 3 pairs of glasses on at the same time.

Lucky 77th sub on Bench Critters! First its great to see you two back in action. Second congratulations on the official announcement of the partnership. Third I think both of these builds have been your best work to date. It is so hard to choose between the two for a favorite as they both have their own "space" in the market which is why I think this as a partnership is going to soar. Not only for your personalities that naturally pull people in or the super supportive spirit in both of you. Coming out of a bad period with Rona and the current fiscal night mare economy I think you will do well aiming at the top tier players / buyers since the low end is swamped in mass produced random copy cat businesses. What ever you end up doing I am right there with you guys waiting to learn and admire from the effort you both bring to the workbench.

Best Christmas present ever, that you guys are back :-) your guitars look killer 🎉

Glad to see you guys back! Both guitars turned out fantastic! I’m definitely subscribing to the new channel!

It's good to finally see another video, Gio. Todd, that guitar looks gorgeous! Gio, your version is beautiful too (as are all the guitars you make). I used the same Gotoh bridge on my very first build and I have to say I love it! You shouldn't need to recess the bridge if you have the right neck-break angle for it and, ideally, a carved top.

Good to see you guys back, great guitars - thanks for the video - Cheers from Canada!

Absolutely love the guitars stunningly gorgeous like always. Love the collaboration idea. I wish you both nothing but good luck in your ventures. Peace and long life 🖖🏴‍☠️

Gio, the top on the guitar you built is one for the ages, man. How elegent. That's designer furniture level stuff (but it does more than just sit there!).

Congrats to you both!! Your guitars are different from one another but both are stunning!! I love the rounded neck joints, the generous cutaways, and the hidden/protected jack. Fantastic job !! 👏💯

Great to see you back guys and good luck with the new venture. LP’s are both very cool

I want Gio's. My gosh is it MY almost perfect build.

Woah, the boys are back in town!!!!! I may ruffle feathers, but I prefer Gio's design, but I would want Todd's wood choices. Both, however, turned out absolutely unreal, and it's good to see you both! 🍻

Wonderful to see you both back - genuinely so, and congrats and good luck with the new venture. Also great to have some reimagined LP closure 😂 I really don’t like Les Paul’s (and really dislike ToMs) but you’ve both done amazing things. (apologies Todd) but the understated elegance of Gios really tickles my tastes. Reminds me of a 125/295 and the late, great and woefully under the radar Geordie Walker. That top is lush. The commission build alongs is a fabulous idea. Exciting times ahead for you both.

This is an excellent early Christmas present. Both guitars are stunners. Who knew that elm would look so beautiful with that sweeping grain? Heading over to Benchcritters now.

Good to see you guys back and as bonkers as always, stunning guitars one beautifully understated elegance and the other unadulteratedly mad as a box of frogs wood porn good job guys 👍

You two are hysterical. Peace and love to both of you. Those are two very fine looking guitars. Thanks for sharing!!

Glad you guys are back!! Both guitars rock!!

Now I don’t feel bad that my Tele isn’t finished yet

Glad you guys are back on youtube.

Finally😂 thank you for being a patient friend!! This was such fun and I hope everyone enjoys the video!✌️&💙 Gio, your guitar turned out so , so nice man. I know I always need to bring my "A" game when we do these things and any other time when it comes right down to it. You've made me a better builder brother. Thank you!

Beautiful job with the guitar. I love the choice in pickups. Sounds amazing.

did you apply the front and back at the same time, and if so how do you keep from leaving marks on the opposite side you've just covered? and then do you just leave it laying there or do you hang it to dry each night?

Where did you buy the Applewood from?Link for the website please.....

Molto bella complimenti!!!!

I have a few rosewood planks. I need your guidance to make a solid body electric guitar

Really enjoy your videos and your teaching style. I have built 32 guitars over the last 4 years and really enjoy like you working with different woods and the colors/grain of the woods. Haven't seen any more recent videos from you. Are you still doing guitars and videos. Hopefully you are. Thanks for the great content.

Fantastic keep it up

Nice shape. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iH7bZaWlnp14pLc

Please build an acoustic 000

Amazing...would you ever build an acoustic...if so I would be very interested

Thank You, what glue is best for combing neck laminates.

Kunszt Twojej pracy jest na najwyższym poziomie, świetnie dobrane drewno dało wspaniały charakter akustycznego brzmienia, co kwalifikuje jakim jest ta wspaniała dziedzina, do jakości sztuki rzemieślniczej która pozostawia ponas najwyższą wartość w świecie muzyki, pozwolę sobie przyznać Tobie znak jakości Q1. Pozdrawiam serdecznie i życzę dlaszych wspaniałych projektów.

The finish is incredible...really good job!

Can you share the image of the cutting compound the NW1 you use, I cannot see it properly in the video..... please....

Can you paint with nitro paint afterwards or will the binding be ruined?

Do you route your neck and body without using a template?

This is hard work and takes courage . I just did a Rosewood Stratocaster using total boat lust varnish .Then paid a real Luthier to buff it out as he has 40 years exp and the right buffer with twin 16" cotton wheels.

Bonjour, Travail magnifique, mais la vidéo s’arrête avant que la guitare soit terminée. Est-ce qu’il y a une suite ? Bonne continuation !

This type of brilliancy should not be allowed on KZbin. What are you trying to do…get people to make accurate covers that actually fit on the FIRST try? 😅

I like the way you have your shop organized! Shows you have attention to detail. It really helps to have a “systematic” method for this task. It takes the guesswork out for us beginners and provides a good starting point. Thanks for sharing this with us!

I’m making my second neck using this video as a guide for carving. At 8:44 I used a spoke shave instead of a razor blade and it worked efficiently and effectively to make the facets nice and flat.
