Bahahahahhahahaha!!!!! I want that $5 back I loaned you! Freaking hilarious song and I am humbled by it. But more importantly your guitar looks and sounds amazing! Be proud!

[@JoePierceMaker]

Thanks Tim! You put together a really nice kit, those pickups are killer!! They're so versatile and they sound great! I've definitely caught the guitar building bug and will be making many more. And uh... the check is in the mail, haha!

[@tyarnold5793]

I love the song!!!!!!! Killer looking guitar!

[@JoePierceMaker]

@@tyarnold5793 Thanks!

[@Indobiker61]

I havent got a nice workshop like you so i am thinking of buying a body. And do al the elektronics myself. Would be the 2e guitar i do with new wiring and pickups

[@MusicStudent1]

That’s a fun video to watch. I’m getting ready to start working on my custom V 5 string bass kit and watching this is inspiring. Yes, my 5 string bass will likely have unbelievably bad neck dive but I don’t care. I’m probably going to play it seated with the center of the V on my leg anyway. You’ve got the tools, amigo!!!! Great work!!

[@JoePierceMaker]

Thanks! food luck on your build. I used to have an SG bass that had the worst neck dive.

[@mrfatbobrider1969]

Just beautiful

[@JoePierceMaker]

Thank you!

[@GlockGuy10mm]

Hey buddy you have a great talent and the guitar looks amazing. I am in the middle of completing a Flying V for my son and that’s how I came across your video (research). We also set up a wood shop and my son being 14 he absolutely loves being by my side as we build whatever we choose to. Not sure where you learned your craft but you had good teachers. Hoping my son follows my steps and does the same as he grows

[@JoePierceMaker]

Thanks, I learned a lot from my dad. Rather than teaching me one specific craft, he showed me how to figure things out. We made a lot of different stuff when I was a kid, from woodworking to sewing to making buckskin leather. So it's the problem solving skills that really help me when I try something new.

[@6stringnuisance]

Awsome V Built! U make it look easy

[@JoePierceMaker]

Thanks!

[@SPLENDIDZEN]

Excellent craftsmanship and the guitar sounds very good! ... It is also because you are a musician and you have a good Metal technique! ... The Flying V goes flying! ... Congrats Mr. Joe Pierce Maker! ...

[@JoePierceMaker]

Thanks!

[@beerdestruction28]

Great work!!!!! Beautiful!!!!!!!!!

[@JoePierceMaker]

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@tonypirulli571]

wow.this joe dude is really a talanted guy.very impressive work..and a decent musician..i like his channel very much

[@JoePierceMaker]

Thanks!

[@CrossCutCreations]

Fantastic build, Joe! The body looks awesome and that's a great sounding guitar. Rock on!

[@JoePierceMaker]

Thanks! It was a lot of fun and I can't wait to build more guitars.

[@davelarue6874]

Only thing is tone is a little twangy

[@PinetopJackson]

Turned out great!

[@JoePierceMaker]

Thanks!

[@mike285]

Damn, thrash is great and all, bit that blues rock hits nice in a special place

[@JoePierceMaker]

Thanks! I like to do a little bit of everything.

[@nancyoshiro6929]

real nice job . reminds me of the back of a strat i made for my cousin. i used canary wood and purple heart in the same layout as you . but i laid them out on a 45 degree angle. nice t. sharp guitar!..........ptp

[@JoePierceMaker]

Very cool!

[@pvdguitars2951]

Really cool build. I made a V with a banana headstock and a vintage mighty mite humbucker. Gave it a EVH type finish.

[@JoePierceMaker]

Thanks, That's awesome!

[@jollycobra]

Thanks for another great build video! Keep building. And the song was a nice touch, haha!

[@JoePierceMaker]

Thanks! It's not often I write songs with words but I thought Tim Sway deserved one.

[@gillyt629]

I really enjoy your videos, especially the Guitar Rescues. You are a True Craftsman. Keep up the Great Work! And your Guitar Playing is not to Shabby either.

[@JoePierceMaker]

Thanks! I've got some more in the works.

[@ningzhang6683]

looks great, sound great

[@JoePierceMaker]

Thank you!

[@Thrashpotato]

thats awesome i just did a vid on the V i built from guitar kit world, maybe thats why i saw this but im glad i did good vid man nice axe!!

[@JoePierceMaker]

Thanks! I just subscribed to your channel as well. Great videos!

[@Thrashpotato]

@@JoePierceMaker oh dude, thanks man, right on I appreciate that dude I just do corny news stuff for now, but I'm building to be something like what you got going years down the line man, I wish I had the talent already, until then, I'll just keep watching you lol

[@JackmanWorks]

I know Tim Sway.

[@JoePierceMaker]

Yeah, but does he know you back? Because I never met the guy, I think he might be a myth like Bill Brasky.

[@mynx_uk]

Looks fantastic, I have always wanted a hollowbody V I know Dean made one and it was pants, I know you are more than capeable of making one that would not suck.

[@JoePierceMaker]

Thanks, That sounds like an interesting project. I may have to try that one day.

[@rickdalton6272]

Cool man!

[@JoePierceMaker]

Thanks!

[@hectorheath]

And it started off so well.....

[@JoePierceMaker]

Ended up pretty good too. Thanks for watching.

[@WilliamLutesMaker]

This is so far beyond Bad Azz !!!! Well done Brother 👊🏼❤️👊🏼

[@JoePierceMaker]

Thanks Bill!

[@greyskyes3547]

Man that’s awesome, great build! Love the mastodon shirt!

[@JoePierceMaker]

Thanks! I think that Brett Hinds would like this guitar.

[@greyskyes3547]

Joe Pierce Maker He definitely would!

[@davebauerart]

Great work on the body! Looks good.

[@JoePierceMaker]

Thanks! I've always wanted a V but could never afford one so I made my own.

[@javanthomas4122]

Great guitar

[@JoePierceMaker]

Thanks!

[@AndyCPugh]

Rock on!

[@JoePierceMaker]

Thanks!

[@joszefrviz398]

I have a question Joe. Why not just use a single piece of wood for the body? Thanks!

[@JoePierceMaker]

The main reason is that I didn’t have a piece of wood large enough to do it from one piece. I also like the look of the contrasting woods.

[@joszefrviz398]

@@JoePierceMaker Cool. Just curious. Thanks.

[@marcellopalumbo3063]

I did an amazing job, which is the guitar diapason?

[@JoePierceMaker]

Thanks! Are you asking what tuning the guitar is in? If so, it's tuned to standard E (EADGBE)

[@ragtie6177]

Best video ever. Bitchin original song. I'm Swayed.

[@ragtie6177]

Just had to sub

[@JoePierceMaker]

Thanks! I'm happy that my love of woodworking and my love of music have finally found a common ground.

[@mikeshades1186]

I want a guitar crafted by you. Wow. Second video I watched, new sub here. Beautiful, beautiful work.

[@JoePierceMaker]

[@hadleymanmusic]

I have a new neck block inlays and bound its like a bolt on. I would like to find a body with binding. Whi knows where?

[@Matt083109]

Awesome! Also, at what point did you regret putting the back strap button in that spot?

[@JoePierceMaker]

Thanks! I haven’t had any issues with the strap button being on the back.

[@Matt083109]

I mostly just don't like the way it looks placed there, but to each his own. Great build! Thank you for all the great videos!

[@JoePierceMaker]

I get it. I’m normally not a fan of it either but with a V it’s really the only option. Of course I did the same thing in my SG as well because I didn’t want the strap button on the horn because the horns are so thin.

[@superbadgasser]

Love it, Very Cool!!

[@JoePierceMaker]

Thanks!

[@jonburton8054]

What song is that???? I looked for this video for a hour just to hear the song again!!! I found it!!!!!

[@JoePierceMaker]

Thanks! The song is called "Be More Like Tim Sway" and its available on iTunes, Spotify, and all the other streaming platforms

[@nancyoshiro6929]

nice job. that purple heart is some hard heavy shit, aint it?.......ptp

[@JoePierceMaker]

Thanks. Yeah, purple heart is pretty dense. I got this chunk in a pile of wood from a friend and didn't even know it was purple heart till I put it through the planer because it was covered in wax.

[@willhaul5581]

Wow got a lot of fret buzz going on there almost to the point to where it sounds like a sitar. I'll give you an a for effort. I suggest you do some homework on Fret dressing and how to set up a guitar. Thanks for the video buddy.

[@JoePierceMaker]

Thanks.

[@primroseconcina5785]

Hey I like it yes and very good looking body too

[@JoePierceMaker]

Thanks!

[@3-EX-0]

There is a video on youtube touring Gibson and how they make their guitars. You should steal some of their ideas on how they use pegs to keep their templates in place. Either way I have been watching you make some guitars and man I still had all my tools so I could make one. I have rebuilt dozens but never made one from scratch.

[@JoePierceMaker]

That's awesome, thanks for watching.

[@ryszardkowalik9911]

How is making The Gibson flying V in factory, from one piece of wood or couples pieces

[@JoePierceMaker]

I'm not sure how they do it, but finding a slab of wood wide enough to make it from one piece is kind of hard.

[@FranklinWoodWorks2016]

Purple Heart and Sepele? Looks awesome!

[@JoePierceMaker]

I know that the Purpleheart is right but I'm not sure what the other wood is. I have a pile of wood that were scraps from a high end staircase company and I haven't identified everything yet.

[@Echo3_]

do you watch crimson? Ben uses that same super glue trick for templates

[@JoePierceMaker]

Yeah, I'm a big fan of their channel. The masking tape and super glue trick works a lot better than double sided tape or hot glue.

[@tzctlpc]

Fumihiko Kitsutaka would be proud

[@JoePierceMaker]

Thanks!

[@iamjordanphelps2138]

what are the measurements of the body?

[@JoePierceMaker]

I followed this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXqUe2megc12mbc but instead of using a computer program, I drew it out using a ruler and a compass.

[@papakralle9157]

Wäre schon interessant sich mal seine eigene Randy Rhoads zu bauen, dummerweise fehlt mir schlicht die Werkstatt und das dafür nötige Werkzeug. Wäre ja mal eine Idee Workshops anzubieten wo man dann seine Gitarre unter fachlicher Anleitung bauen kann. Das man aber auch dann ein gewisses handwerkliches Grundwissen haben muss ist denk ich selbstverständlich.

[@JoePierceMaker]

Ich würde gerne Unterricht geben können. Vielleicht bin ich eines Tages auf diesem Niveau.

[@MySedimentsExactly]

Lol this is great man, love it.

[@JoePierceMaker]

Thanks!

[@jalatecompa]

hi will you share the templates?

[@JoePierceMaker]

I found the measurements online somewhere and just drew it out.

[@thomasmozelt585]

A very beauty guitar but why bolt on???

[@JoePierceMaker]

Just in case the neck breaks or I want to upgrade it. Also, since this guitar won't fit in a normal case, I was able to take it apart easily when I moved.

[@eyenomed]

What the name of the that punk song at 3:54

[@JoePierceMaker]

It’s called Be More Like Tim Sway. It’s an original by me. You can find it on all the major music streaming sites. open.spotify.com/track/143iMveBXlwBjgskRN9ePD?si=pS-OnEULRuKlGocrBLAZAg

At last why you cut the video....

[@JoePierceMaker]

It just felt like the thing to do at the time.

[@alfredobrugnone2346]

👍✌

[@JoePierceMaker]

Thanks!

[@hozrhayt]

Sir. I'm going to need an explanation as to how this is a kit and NOT professional lutherie.

[@dragonslayerwill_travel3476]

Oh you're making your own Guitar and you put the Guitar Jack in the wrong place! It would be better to put it on the front with the other knobs! Oh well! 🎸

[@JoePierceMaker]

I don't like the ones that stick out of the front as much. Also the spot I chose allows me to secure the wire to the strap to prevent unwanted disconnections during a show.

[@raulsoares8636]

Make an Explorer to be the sister of the V XD

[@JoePierceMaker]

I really want to.

[@akashicvizion]

Holy crap!! I tho that Joe had gotten Coyote Shivers to do his fill song!! (Sounds a *lot* like "Sugar High" from the "Empire Records" movie soundtrack, down to the vocal tones!! Check it out here, and then *try* to call me a liar!! [I *dare* ya!] -- kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKjGg32ver5opJo )-- May hafta get a coupla-five of these kits for meself!!

[@JoePierceMaker]

Thanks! I actually love that movie and that song. I was going for a very nineties, power-pop vibe on my song so I'm sure "Sugar High" was in the back of my mind while writing it.

[@nicirvin1994]

Who ever is playing... STOP..

[@JoePierceMaker]

It was me. And no.

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

here's hoping the guitar turns out better than the playing.

[@JoePierceMaker]

Everyone's a critic...

[@maximchijevsky5136]

Who'm is such a grif thing make?

[@altonlyter2024]

Jesus, that music is terrible. Next time, opt for silence or the crap EDM that every other video uses.

[@JoePierceMaker]

So, first, I built my own guitar, and filmed the process. Then, using that guitar, I improvised a song using a looper pedal. You can actually watch me record it on my second channel kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqOZimiDi5xgjLs That's the first terrible song you hear in this video. Then I wrote and recorded a second song, this time with lyrics and such. THEN, I edited all that together into the video that you just watched. So thanks for watching and commenting because that's why I do all of this.

[@BadAzzCustomDesigns]

Next up, make a fiber glass guitar, oh yeah, and make it hollow, so it's lighter, matter of fact, make it a fiber glass, hollow bass. Also make the neck out of epoxy resin, clear, like glass. So u can see the rod inside. Peace. P.s. Great video.

[@JoePierceMaker]

That sounds interesting.
