[@jonahguitarguy]

Have not seen you before. But great video and build.

[@Ninety2guits]

Thank you. Was just checking out your channel, great stuff on there. Going to take me a while to get through all that.

[@sutorguitarsbytondewit6854]

[@kerrydoyle3882]

Great content,your approach is refreshing,keep it going

[@Ninety2guits]

Thanks, will do!

[@marcoszamboni9774]

very cool, I'm Brazilian and I really like these instruments, I'm studying to make one for myself, because it's very expensive here, and it's very difficult to find, I subscribed to the channel and I'm waiting for part two.. big hug.. google english translator hahahahahha

[@Ninety2guits]

Thanks Marcos. Hopefully these videos help you build your own.

진짜 멋있다! 좋은영상 감사합니다 저도 꼭 만들어보고 싶어요!

[@marcoantonio078]

I'm looking forward to seeing how you tackled the neck pocket. Its the one part that has stopped me from attempting one of these.

[@zacherysellards4275]

You can always call me for advice on metal fabrication!

[@Ninety2guits]

Zach!!!! Dang, how did I not even think to get your input, I guess I'm getting old. Maybe I can talk you into tig welding one of these for me so we can see how that sounds. I can tig weld but I tig weld like a wood worker... you know, not that great.

Awesome 😮

Hello, what is the exact thickness of the sheet metal for the guitar, I mean the box-case of the guitar?

[@Ninety2guits]

The original top I started with in episode 1 was 28 gauge, which I learned was way too thin. You'll see in later episodes I switched to 20 gauge and so far it's working really well.

[@Guitars-KiD]

​@@Ninety2guits Do you think it is good and enough to put around for the case 2mm sheet metal?

[@Guitars-KiD]

​@@Ninety2guits You think that 1 mm sheet is thin, so you suggest to use 2 mm? And one more question. Is the sheet ordinary black steel or is it stainless steel or something similar?

[@mikecolumna]

I could be wrong, but I believe most resonators are stamped out with an industrial press. Perhaps if you carved a mold you could hammer the sheet of steel into it?

[@kentl7228]

Metal spinning for cones and stamping, I would think. Plus, some bodies are made from brass, nickel plated and then bead blasted through a stencil to get the palm tree pictures etc. From what I understand.

[@aliayub6463]

Amazing work man. what gauge of sheet you used?

[@Ninety2guits]

I'm using 28 gauge for the top and if you jump ahead to episode 4 you will see that becomes a problem. I have switched to 20 gauge steel now.

[@NoSuchStrings]

Awesome! Can you make a fiberglass acoustic guitar?

[@justinwilliamson9037]

Great video, thank you. How thick is the sheet of metal you used please. Thank you

[@Ninety2guits]

Thank you. On this episode 1 it was 28 gauge and it was way too thin, you'll see it failed around episode 5. If you are going to build one watch the series, particularly the episode where I cover costs. I give a lot of detail and info that will help if you are going to build one.

[@justinwilliamson9037]

@@Ninety2guits great. Thank you so much🙏🙏🙏

[@sadalmelikcc1489]

How thick in mm is the steel sheet to make the guitar?

[@anidamanns7968]

the front is all ones needs then place it over an exciting guitar.

[@misinformationwithrandy]

End Grain of steel 🤣

[@wealldieatthehandsoflovedones]

That would be a bad ass to toilet seat
