Что е там дико дребезжит.....

👍👍👍👍✋✋

Sorry but in my opinion that’s one of the ugliest guitars I’ve ever seen

Cought me ! 😊❤

Thank you Sir ! Can I spray Nitro over this sealer ?

I'm building a "J-Bass", and was wondering if it would be possible to aply the decal with (and over) True Oil.... Then I "stumbled" upon this video! Thanks for sharing that. It looks great and I will use your "tips" on the maple neck of my bass. BTW, I'm watching this in 2024... 😊

Awesome!

Os amo Pink Floyd por todos las sensaciones tan maravillosas que me hacéis sentir cuando os oigo ❤❤🎸🎸

Just received my first guitar kit. Body is ash, and I want my grain to look like this video. What product do you use to darken the grain, to color the wood, and to make it gloss? Thanks!!!

Why... 450 sounds more like it😮

Walsh & Summers: quite different styles. Very cool. And amazing-looking guitar. New sub.

Amazing guitars!

Looks just like a Fender Squire! Awesome

Fender Clay dots are actually zinc hydrochloride and cellulose. They were analyzed long ago. They were never clay.

From using waterslide decals in modelling and other uses, I would suggest getting MicroSol and MicroSet solutions (about $15) to put the decals on. Just using the water is okay, but if you use these it goes from being a waterslide look to really being part of the guitar, like it is a more expensive process to get the image on there. Worth it.

How many coats of timbermate did you use?

Hey William wish I would have seen this video before doing the timbermate fill on my body, should have used a sealer first like you did.

Thank you so much! Answered a lot of my questions with applying solar rez. Your guitar looks awesome! God bless

If you allow that Solarez to sit for 30-45 minutes prior to exposing to sunlight, it will settle nicely. Those little witness lines will smooth out.

Do you have a KZbin video on how to build that jig?

Whoa Bill’s back!

I`ve been following you on and off on YT, and I must say that you really dont get the attention you deserve. The quality of your work seems outstanding, and I really like your way of building. BTW, I`ve always ment that the hardest part to design in electrical guitar building is the headstock, the Fenders and Gibsons are floating around in every musicans consciousness. But you really nailed it! Keep up the good work, thanks!

Ah, watching all those tools I so desperately need! (I just acquired a great guitar with lousy fretwork)

Have you done any tests on durability ?

I'm glad you're back making guitars, you always made incredible instruments...always look forward to watching your videos...

Is there any chance the plans are still available? The links no longer work. I realise this is an old video but thought I'd try my luck. Great jig!

A little goes a long way!

Sent here by Chris from Highline. Grain filling is something I’ve struggled with. Will have to give this stuff a try! Subscribed. 😊

It makes feel better to know that the way i do bodies is much the same as those that make money from this hobby.

Hello. Why did you stop using single truss rod?

I can certainly appreciate the “time is money” argument from a pro builder’s perspective. As a hobby builder, though, I couldn’t justify spending that much money. I don’t need three-minute cure times so I went with AquaCoat and it worked well for me.

How easy is it to sand back? I am looking for a good option to fill some black Limba that has a very similar look as your palwonia. I want something clear as the wood has several brown tones and I don't want to try and color match anything. I know some use epoxy but I like the idea of not mixing anything.

I hope you will show us all the process of finishing this body. I really find this interesting.

No surprise that this video came up in my feed. Great job on this Tele shape. Beautiful wood.

That looks great, I’d love to hear it play

Hey Wiliam just wondering where you purchased the menzerna polishes 1000-3500 and the red, yellow and blue pads, can’t find those on wood essence site.

I feel very much as you do when it comes to building a guitar, although the Tele, Strat, PRS etc... are all beautiful guitars I prefer to do my own take on these and hopefully making them better in a sense of ergonomic design and playability. You are absolutely correct that the neck is an extremely important part of the guitar. My friend and I have recently built an overhead/pin router that has greatly decreased the neck shaping process for me. I am retired and my arms cannot handle hours of hand carving (although I love it, my wrists cannot handle it due to having snapped them both in half). The overhead router and jigs allow me to cut the initial profile then I can fine tune the shape and thickness at the first and twelfth frets. It’s also great for putting any angle in a neck heel, I prefer putting the angle in the heel as opposed to the pocket when using a tune a matic or wraparound. I would like to share some of my resources with you such as my Canadian handmade custom pickups, Peg City pickups owned by my friend Kris Remillard, fantastic pickups at a much lower cost than the Fralin and Lollars and every bit as good. Please mention my name if you are wanting to try some of his pickups. I use his exclusively other than for some five or six string basses where I buy from Nordstrand audio. I also have a great source for a fantastic tremolo that you can even drop tune with. I do not build guitars for a living but for the sheer enjoyment of it, to have someone pickup one of my instruments and love it is the most satisfying thing for me. Regards Maurice

Hello Wiliam, another great finishing video, very informative and well explained, did you use the Anthem finish on this burst tele? Just a few more questions, when dry sanding with the 800,1000,1200 do sand the edges at all? I think you mentioned in the video that you don’t touch the edges when polishing, is that correct. Thanks again for all he great info. I have been buying some parts to build a buffing station but am wondering if I should just invest in a polisher and use the menzerna polishes. Do like it better than using a buffing wheel and dry polishes? Regards Maurice

Look at her gleam!!!! 😯💓💓💓

If you want to see how resonant Paulownia is ... buy a $100 import guitar. Use a large swimming pool pickup cavity (the bender mechanism will suffice) and a hard abs single ply pickguard (or bender cover), plus a hard shell epoxy-type finish coat and it will sound like a semi hollow body guitar. Give him a 4-way switch to have series humbucking mode available for hum-noisy gigs. Some complain about screw pull-out but I've never had that problem, the bender may have pivots and string mounts that need superglue soaked in or maybe a large maple/hardwood dowl-puck glued in.

By the way real nice work

Just wondering when when you were you level sanded did you do the sides and do you do the edges? Do you use a sanding sealer after the Solarez grain fill? Do you level sand the sanding sealer? Do you level sand the colour before applying the clear coat?

Looks great! Got my first quart of Anthem this week - looking forward to giving it a try.

Could have at least cut two slots.

What’s the biggest advantages of doing one small area at time? I’ve never tried that since I’m afraid that the area between those areas are going to be more sanded and therefore show visible “lines”. Not sure how to describe it..

How long for the Brite Tone to "cure"?

Thank you Sir !!!
