Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't making a loop and putting it over the tuner give the string a little twist? I know as long as the string is and such little twist it wouldn't be much but it would indeed have a tiny twist in the string?

Is there a place that sells those bridge pin blocks? Or did you make it yourself?

Is there a link to the 2nd video?

Best way to start the day... with a piece of ash and some goggles.

Very nice bridge pin block and cool transition through the sound hole! Many thanks for the video ;)

Very helpful video! Thank you!❤

🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

looks good!!

Hey buddy, I was just thinking about how much I enjoyed your videos for the GGBO2021. And just looked up your channel to see what you did before the build off. Looks like you started the channel just for the build off. Any plans to do more? You're a great builder I'd like to see what else you're up to. I was hoping to get more subs to my channel by joining the comp. I built a great bass but didn't seem to get noticed. It's funny what did get noticed but whatever. This was more about YT and social media which aren't my strong suit by any means. Anyway hope to see more building from you my friend.

Very cool! A lot of woodworkers are curious about air drying but there aren't a lot of great videos on the actual procedure. One trick to increase airflow (a bit) is to use PVC pipes split down the middle instead of square wood stickers. It probably doesn't matter much with ash but with maple, it can help prevent sticker stain.

That's a praise-worthy build sir! Big respect to you! I admire your effort to complete that beautiful build! I'm a big fan of semi hollow guitars too so for me you just built a work of art

Excellent work!

How do we bid on it?

Very nice build Mudd.

She is simply beautiful great work. I also really liked the song you played at the end.

The gargoyle! looking awesome. Suns in 4.

Your explanation of facets was golden. And the alum bar trick was new to me .👍

How many pairs of Dollar store glasses, have you been through on this one, I'm up to three!!! LOL Getting them stronger, for detail work??

That aluminum bar trick is slick!

Lookin good! really coming together.

Koa in the F holes!!! Digging it brother!!

Nice work. Look forward to the finished guitar

"Adhersion"? I think you mean adhesion. Just a tip, not a slag.

Nice Mudd! Very cool too!

Beautiful timber, I like the backing tracks. Kinda like faster pussycat to me!

Good info bro. I'll check Steve out I live in Northern Ca. Surprising how many wood workers/ guitar makers don't understand wood movement.

Mudd, loving your process and educational tips, loving you glasses Bro. following on the gram, check out my ggbo build

Good tip with clamping the wood together to avoid warping. I always forget that, and then always end up flattening stock again.

Keep on Brother, enjoying your process Mine coming along, got two going, ggbo2021

Thats a really nice design mate. I enjoyed the two videos so far, detailing the design process.

Very Good info, Mudd, I'm building my first on for the contest, I live dangerous!! will be watching!!

Time For A Tapioca Break!! Ingredients 1/2 cup small pearl tapioca (you can usually find it in the baking section of the grocery store, do not use instant tapioca) 3 cups whole milk (or skim milk with cream added) 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 eggs 1/2 cup of sugar 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract Method Cook the tapioca: Combine tapioca, milk, and salt in 1 1/2 quart pan on medium high heat. Stir while bringing to a bare simmer. Lower the heat and cook uncovered, at the lowest possible heat, adding sugar gradually, until the tapioca pearls have plumped up and thickened. Depending on the type or brand of tapioca you are using and if you've presoaked the tapioca as some brands call for, this could take anywhere from 5 minutes to 45 minutes of cooking at a very low temperature. Stir occasionally so that the tapioca doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. Temper the eggs with a little hot tapioca: Beat eggs in a separate bowl. Whisk in some of the hot tapioca very slowly to equalize the temperature of the two mixtures (to avoid curdling). Return eggs to pan with tapioca: Increase the heat to medium and stir for several minutes until you get a thick pudding consistency. Do not let the mixture boil or the tapioca egg custard will curdle. Cool 15 minutes. Stir in vanilla. Serve either warm or chilled. Note: If you want to make a more light and fluffy, but still rich, tapioca pudding, separate the eggs. Use the egg yolks to stir in first to the pan with the tapioca. Once the pudding has become nice and thick, beat the egg whites in a separate bowl to soft peaks. Remove the pan of tapioca pudding from the stove, fold in the beaten egg whites into the pudding.

Hell yeah I'm digging it! The design is classy and I'm looking forward to the build!

Love you Mudd!
