Need to work on your sound editing. Hard to watch

Damn I love your videos. I’m so glad I did you OM build workshop in 2023!

You still have a lot to learn

fretboard tongue?

I heard somewhere that longitudinal stiffness can be as .much as thirty times stiffer than stiffness across the grain in some woods ?....so I dont know that its really necessary To stiffen an already stiff back with lattice bracing ?...That being my said it looks like a good design . nothing wrong about it .

Thank you for your efforts in making this video. Very informative!

Does the same pickup sound different between a solid body guitar and a hollowbody guitar? If so, what about the guitar's construction is affecting that electrical signal?

Using japanese rice glue for gluing in the lable inside the guitar might be worth a consideration. It's intended for gluing the paper (washi) onto the wooden frame (shoji) of japanese paper doors. I'm using it to build shoji-style lamps and it works really well. Once it's dry, you won't see any traces left on or shining trough the paper. Only downside is, that it's water-soluble (which can also be an upside), but you'd really have to soak it to get it off.

Yeah my fav is #87 its more warm just a lil tho

Nice. My question answered perfectly at 15:50!! 🎉

Great detailed, precise demo instruction and verbal explanations..

adjusting the truss rod is like magic, makes the neck feel so different. Plays different, almost easier after adjustment.

Sir I am a partially blind person can I learn how to make a guitar please reply me and I want to learn how to make guitar I am from India

Thank you

Great explanation man! The industry is “full of it!” Using computer sound waves to compare different woods. If you have to use a computer to tell a difference (which it still failed to do) then there is no difference worth any additional price. This was the best explanation yet but there are others too. But still the debate non-debate continues. lol. Had to subscribe!

you should be angling the slot towards the edge of the tuning pegs where the string leaves the peg for path least resistance. (this avoids problems like the Gibson LP nut issues where strings bind) You can also sand the inside of each slot with 3000 to 10000 to ensure there are no file marks.

Your good with a chisel. Awesome dexterity. Nice work.

yo im chinese and im offended by the dong sound 😠 (just kidding)

How would you level frets on a compound radius board? A lot of modern guitars have a compound radius. Wow, I thought this would be a $3,000 guitar. The MSRP is $239! It's almost cheaper to buy a new guitar. If you sold the old one, I guess it would be. Austin's Strats are $179!!! What?! That's less than the Chinese knock-offs on FleaBay. These have to be bulk produced in China (or somewhere similar). There is no way to make a guitar in America at that cost. I doubt you could do it in Mexico either. Fantastic video, BTW.

Thanks for the video. How would you clamp frets on a neck through the body electric guitar where you don't have a sound hole to put the clamp tool?

Maybe there's a case to be made about Hollow body electrics. But that's about it. You can strap a good neck and some pickups to a 2x4 and it will sound amazing as long as it isn't on camera.

And how might the wedge shaping from lower wide to narrower top as done by Linda Manzer fit in with your theorising?

Locateding the bridge distance from the nut doesn't seem to difficult. How do I center the bridge to the centerline of the neck and square the bridge?

Excellent video . . . sad that 'u-tube' has to inject all those 'obnoxious ads' every 3-5 minutes . . .

I gotta learn hiw to make one of those dish tables

I like your content its digestable in the way i like. Im too baked to be able to word it more complex but like good editibg wellpaced i dont hate your voice sound or how you talk its all clear you put effort into this

This was a VERY helpful video!

I did it and it goes out of tune all the time.

Been toying with the idea of creating a slightly tapered guitar, when i finish learning but this video makes me curious. Means there will be a scientific value to it. Thanks.

Very well done. Master class Info. Thanks for sharing

people repair mahogany body guitars with the same problem. So recommend a harder hardwood.

Just a tip from an electronics guy: Water and soldering iron are arch enemies. The tips usually from iron coated copper. Water will destroy it fast and soldering becomes a nightmare. Temp checks with soldering wire and tip cleaning with a copper sponge (looks like a rough steel scouring pad but is made of copper) If done right, a soldering tip can live for a long time.

very useful advises! thank you a lot!

Thank you so much !!!

Very good

Johnson Paste Wax was discontinued...that is why it exploded in price. There has to be a reasonable alternative on the market - any neutral wax should suffice.

Great work Eric. Do you make your own tru oil blend?

This was so helpful, thank you!

Santana guitars with purfling all other e rs are bullshit!!

I need to find yet the vedio where prs installs abalone purfling on top of pickups

I'm not a guitar builder,I come from a gun trade.I love the workmanship that goes into this builds.Do you make your own tru oil blend.

I have almost exactly this problem on a guitar I bought to learn guitar repairs on so thank you for this video. One question - how did you keep track of where the bushing holes went so you could be sure to put them back in exactly the right spot after the patch was done?

My new shoes are made of expensive and now extinct tonewood. Unbearable to wear but... my presence is now more sustained and more clarity is in the room. My arguments are crystal clear, punchy, yet warm, with magical overtones.

Hi, thanks for the video. You need to recheck your compensation theory because you are completely wrong 😂 For example, a piano is tuned to equal temperament exactly same as the guitar. It has nothing to do with frets or string bending.

*I propose you try bamboo for bracing instead. Its properties allow it to be thinned down to about 1/16 of an inch, enabling greater vibration while remaining strong enough to protect the soundboard. Its flexibility is an additional advantage.* Merry Christmas to you!

I'm curious how well this would work on something like an L-00, which is radiused at the neck block.

A truss rod does NOT change the pitch of a neck. It will NOT affect string height at the bridge. The opening part of this video is just plain WRONG. A truss rod does not fix an overset or under set neck. It merely adds or takes away relief and that will raise or lower string height up to the 12th fret or so. People think you can avoid a neck reset by adjusting the truss rod. You can’t.

I've looked at a few dozen videos that try to show how a truss rod works, and this is absoutley the best.

I have seen it demonstrated that 2 pieces of 2x4 wood (lumber) with a neck bolted on & the same 2 pickups sound the same as a solid electric guitar made of tone woods.

Anecdotal experience is not empirical data. Your feelings are irrelevant to the data. The data is in. The second an instrument is plugged into an amplification device you´re not listening to an acoustic instrument anymore. An inductive electromagnetic system will create and transmit its current in a coherent and similar fashion regardless of mounted to a concrete pillar on onto a wooden telephone pole. Paul Reed Smith, Roger Sadowsky or anybody else. It´s all snake oil!
