Absolutely amazing instruments. I have been wanting to build a guitar for years now (maple body sinker cedar top was the plan), but the roadblock of bending the sides/monetary investment for a side bending tool was too much at the time.. I had shelved the project since then but seeing these in action has made me reconsider haha. I love the balanced sound that the boxwoods have as opposed to the somewhat muddy (to my untrained ears) sound a lot of 'fancy' guitars have.

How do you put the neck on? Do you dove tail it? Is it bolted on? Is it different to attaching a neck on a traditional shaped body? Cheers
@boxwoodguitar36185 ай бұрын
It's a mortise and tenon joint with two bolts. That's just the way I choose to do it. The overall design doesn't necessarily dictate the type of neck joint.

Full build...Uh...where’s the part where you make the neck? I see where you slotted the fretboard and installed the frets. What about making the bridge? The finish? The nut, saddle, cutting holes for the tuners, etc,?
@boxwoodguitar36185 ай бұрын
A few years back, I had a source for guitar necks from a major guitar manufacturer. They were rejected from the production line for cosmetic reasons. I got them cheaper than I could buy the materials for and they are perfectly good and I'm happy to put them to good use. As a result, I haven't carved a neck since.
@hxhdfjifzirstc8943 ай бұрын
Whenever I see these videos, I start thinking about ways to optimize the process. It seems to me that you're starting out with wood that's already been made thin, and taking time to glue wood in places to make it thicker again (especially referring to the box side pieces). Why not start with wood that's twice as thick, and use a router with a guide template, to remove half the thickness in square sections, leaving the same shape that you're using glue and braces to construct -- I bet you could knock those out in minutes, with a router, and no gluing/clamping/waiting.
@boxwoodguitar36183 ай бұрын
I've thought about that. The only reason not to is that you'd then be relying 100% on the structural integrity of that one piece. By using the braces, you've got grain going in the opposite direction of the the main pice. To my mind that gives you a bit more protection against splitting. Beyond that, there would be more waste. Having said all that. . . I think it's an interesting idea and would still like to try it some day.
