Building My First 7-String From Scratch | Part 1: Intro

[@chrispygingerpie]

You really have caught the bug! In a year you'll have your own custom shop! :P

[@SwainBjornstrandt]

count me in as a client!

[@pal7316]

The woods look beautiful, looking forward to see the "Maplegeuse" when it'll be finished. 👍🏻 _Stain the fretboard, it looks so cool_

[@TheAverageGam3r]

That outro music🤟🏻

[@Projectelectricguitar]

Great choice of woods. Eager to eventually see it completed.

[@Ar2rqa]

Shwing! Really surprised to hear about Padalka here. Simon is an extremely talented luthier and I'm lucky to know him and his wife Darya (who was most likely the one who came up with that design). Love watching your viddies and I look forward to seeing how this project turns out. Best of luck with it!!

[@Utorak007]

Looking forward to this.

[@chrissladdin4187]

I highly recommend Tru-Oil and Gunstock Wax for neck finishes. I did it on my maple necked guitars and they feel AMAZING. Looking forward to the build progress!

[@PaperKhaos]

Really excited to see what that fretboard will look like!

[@witeshade]

I did some googling and it looks like there are two hacker spaces in Luxembourg. If they're anything like the ones over here in the US they may have a bandsaw. It may be worth seeing if you can get access to that so that you can use the right tool for the job rather than fucking around with a jigsaw when you don't need to. Worth a thought!

[@izzate7]

Excited for this! Looks like a lot of fun.

[@mathieujolivet]

KZbin just recommended to me this video, this project sounds pretty exciting! I'll look forward to your next videos, and I'll go look at your other projects. Good luck !

[@MrNeil11mitra]

yeah.. soulhenge guitars and basses

[@laura-sophiemohr4178]

i reaally loved your first build!! beautiful finish. I personally kind of like the raw thing about that haha. looking forward to this one!

[@axe2rock]

Try neck-through for this one, great work man, looking forward to this

[@MilianMalivukMusic]

Neck-thru is an entirely different league (also the blank wouldn't be long enough). Also I just don't enjoy neck-through guitars as much as bolt-ons

[@axe2rock]

@@MilianMalivukMusic fair enough, looking forward to this, more power and goodluck with the build!

[@nicolofaettini7458]

Actually is good to have to cut the neck to make the headstock angle, this because doing so, you can glue the headstock piece and change the veneer direction, so having "crossed" veneers between the neck ones and the headstock ones, it makes the neck a lot more stable and strong, probabily you wouldn't even need to build a volute. (heard a lot about this and actually i have my pro jackson RR24 that is built with this method and it doesn't have a volute and the neck feels really strong).

[@thebloodychord]

Really looking forward to this build!

[@arthylordoftheshlags6046]

Hell yes ! Can't wait to see the result !

[@brzrk9453]

Good luck man 🤘looking forward to the next part

[@SamLibman]

Yay!! I’m excited!

[@krislap7366]

Im also started building a 7 string guitar last week. Just cutted out the body now routing the edges. Want to do a body like a skeversen/blackmachine with poplar burl cap. With a ibanez style nek i think. Good luck with your build🤘🏽

[@TheAustinely]

Your first build was beautiful cant qait to see this one!

[@woofystevenson2943]

Try doing a natural to black fade on the fingerboard

[@gerardogomdl]

Next build: 8string multiscale singlecut

[@RatedDesigns]

Ash/Swamp Ash aka can't figure out if I want to be heavy or light! so typical of ash sometimes its light sometimes its heavy!

[@pupu6oi74]

good luck!

Du bist ein geiler typ ey

[@РашидСулейманов-у4к]

Sketch from Padalka Guitars! Very Well! Semen Padalka build amazing guitars.

[@stenmartens7179]

of course, you do you. But I would advise against staining the fretboard. In my opinion it just starts to look filthy when it starts to wear down... I love your projects, how did you join the tops (make the edges perfectly flat?), thats what would seem the most difficult to me personally

[@stephenbae2049]

Almost looks like a Vik!

[@rzr775]

Oh another russian thing! last time it was Fokin pickups, this time Padalka) Anyway goodluck to your build, already wanna see it done)

[@witeshade]

You're definitely inspiring me to do a guitar build as well, finally. I was set on a neck-through design but i'm definitely thinking bolt-on is a much smarter choice, especially as I want to make a baritone so the wood blanks would be pretty ridiculous for a neck through.

[@MilianMalivukMusic]

I thought too neck-through would be easy for a first build (just one huge blank an some wings right?) but it's definitely MUCH harder to build a good neck-through guitar.

[@witeshade]

@@MilianMalivukMusic how about set neck? It seems like once you route out a good neck cavity it isn't much more to glue rather than bolt, as long as you check all the angles a dozen times before making it permanent.

[@imunreal4422]

Wait holy Hell youre from Luxembourg ? Ive been getting more and more interested in your channel and just found out :D. Vun eis ginn et der net sou vill ; P . Keep up the great work man .

[@alecumihnea]

Is that 440mm truss rod going to be long enough for a 26.5 inch scale length guitar?

[@ZouheirHamzaoui]

the fret board just leave it natural it will look awesome with blue top

[@CA-ml3iv]

second this

[@ayylmao5121]

also stain and sand the fretboard

[@ParanoiaClique]

On what camera do you shoot your videos on? sorry if it has been asked before

[@MilianMalivukMusic]

Nikon D5100

[@itai.617]

This time check the tuners ;P

[@ayylmao5121]

formbys tung oil finish is better, it has laquer in the stain as well so its a real sealed finish

[@Ghettohetto]

I like how you pronounced subscribed

[@kimseniorb]

Looks almost exactly like my padalka

[@weltonsilvadeoliveira9193]

whats that outro song? boi, it fuccin slaps

[@MilianMalivukMusic]

Just a random demo song of mine

[@weltonsilvadeoliveira9193]

Do you upload your demos and ideas anywhere like soundcloud? Would love to listen to more of your stuff bc I love your playing style and grooves

[@MilianMalivukMusic]

I used to release songs with my band that was called Soulhenge, I now have my own project which is called No Ostriches. You'll find the songs everywhere, Spotify, iTunes etc!

[@tarsiousmunalembohol]

Did padalka let u copy his shape? Coz i ask his humbucker cavity style and he decline it.

[@MilianMalivukMusic]

Tarsious Munalem yes, I've asked and I've got the okay by Simon.

[@tarsiousmunalembohol]

Damn i think his not in good mood when i asked him for his humbucker pick up style cavity😂😂😂

[@mellowyellow3309]

🤘🤘

[@metaero4019]

Hello!You make an awesome video. Big bow to you from Russia. What you are doing is Fucking Amazing !!!😍

[@ayylmao5121]

next build, headless, that way no nut worry, no headstock to work with, tuners are part of the bridge, lighter

[@heylookitsn0ah]

Lol you’re even starting to sound a little like Ben Crowe. Crimson guitars is great

[@MrTrixzzzz]

Will you be selling these guitars or are you planning on keeping them? The first one looked really sick.

[@MilianMalivukMusic]

I didn't intend to sell these, but if I continue like that, I just have to sell them at some point because I can't keep them all. I've been thinking about selling the first one because I really really spent a lot of money on both projects now and I just need some income.

[@mrmisterman999]

If love to build my own guitars too bad I don't have 50k in tools to do it

[@MilianMalivukMusic]

MrMisterMan You'll definitely not need 50k worth of tools to build a guitar. I've done the first one and this one with basic tools you could even own already. The only thing that is absolutely necessary is a router, but you can get one for like 100 bucks.

[@mrmisterman999]

@@MilianMalivukMusic not if you want to do flame maple and quilt top you'll need a drum sander or thickness planer. Unless you just buy the tops already planed/sanded for more.

[@leltraco1983]

Add my nickname on it

[@kristofberenbrinker3264]

"extremely expensive... Like 30€" 😂 this is not even close expensive in my opinion. Good spanners will last a live long. I got mine from my dad and they where already old. But incase you don't need new one look on the used market. I think you are from Germany. Look on Kleinanzeigen or maybe if you send me the size you need I can send you my old one.

[@MilianMalivukMusic]

Considering what other tools cost and what you can do with them, 30€ for something that is just meant to clamp something (in guitarbuilding I'll just use this to join tops or bodies) is a lot of money if you're a student, especially if you have to get 2 or 3 which is almost 100€ just to clamp your 75€ top together.
