I think you've been channeling Fletcher;-) Looks amazing bro!

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

Thanks Nelson... I'm not going to lie... Fletcher sets a pretty high bar.

[@TheOpenAirGarage]

I love how you did the inlay. The pickup rings are fantastic also.

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

Thanks! I think inlays can make or break an instrument.

[@gettin_while_growin7]

Your on point,he picked a cool inlay and the carving with the output jack,and the nice pickup covers,and carving around each nob.I WOULD BE SO scared of messing up a guitar that could have been something so nice like this! and I woulda cryed knowing what it could of been...BUT IT WOULD OF BEEN DESTROYED😒 .SO...,Myself personally ..would of left it to a trained person😂.My hands are to shakey and anxiety would of destroyed it and to sum they have used so much wood and seen so much of it that its just another nice peice of wood.To me I see it as one less sexy axe out in the world😂🎸🎯👊. I'm useing my "AKA" (lil mama)😍2000 Gibson classic in cherry sunburst. I want to to keep watching.I want to see the paint or stain choices👌👊

[@jamesmcdonald3798]

That looks awesome!!!! Its those kind of details that are going to make this guitar stand out from the rest. You my friend are a throwback to the great artisans of old. Cheers from Boston!!!

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

Thanks James! BTW... I love Boston! I spent a few months there this year. Over on the south side. Loved every second of it.

[@megadethdudeluke]

loved watching these like the crimson guitars videos just love seeing thing's come together

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

Thanks for watching Luke! I think you'll like how this one turns out.

[@athamz9872]

I came here through crimson guitars videos. It`s really cool to practice a bit while watching guitars being built step by step. Makes you gratefull to have an instrument in your hands, even if cheap chinese built like mine. Cheers!

[@74dartman13]

I can't find the words to describe the crow inlay...it's just incredible! I love it! That's one thing on my bucket list...to do a cool inlay some day. It adds so much to what ever project you're making! Nice!👍😎

[@bradpattinson2774]

Amazing work on the inlay, it really sets it off.

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

Thank you!

[@elams1894]

Nice work Greg, great filming. Love the CNC setup. I've been thinking about CNC for some time but would have no clue where to begin. That bloodwood is very similar to the heartwood of an indigenous species we have here in New Zealand, Kohokohe, that sot of scale grain wood pattern, very nice. I look forward to the next instalment, great job!

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

If you're considering a CNC, the first step is having an idea that you want the CNC to help with. That will drive you to figure out everything you need to do to get it to work. The software is fairly straight forward and the machines are simple. I use fusion360 and v-carve to draw... Amazingly powerful tools.

[@marviosantos]

Dude, that's awesome! I love Ben too, much like you have been following him since the "Shed days", and I'm not even a guitar builder! You are doing great work with that kit man, I'm sure by the end of it you won't even be able to call it a "Kit guitar", so much work you've put into it. Rock on! Subscribing :)

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

Thanks brother!!!

[@CraigDurbin]

Beautiful work Greg!

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

Thanks Craig!

[@docjoe1]

This is such an awesome project!

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

Thank you! I need to get a bit more of the footage edited. This guitar will be with me for a long time to come.

[@BoudreauGuitars]

Really nice work, Brother!!

[@ashfinlayson]

Your inlay work is amazing :D

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

Thank you!

[@plateusigmaband4912]

ooooooooo with bkp black hawks it would look freakin awesome

[@ziggassedup]

Looks cool Greg...Will the extra height affect the string angle to the machine heads.?

[@gettin_while_growin7]

Awesome job brother🎸

[@JerrysThisandThat]

That is killer Greg.

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

Thanks Jerry!

[@txsviking]

Looks awesome!

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

Thanks Terry!

[@timbeaton5045]

Great idea for the headstock veneer and inlay. I'm sure Ben Crowe would be proud. Does he know of this build, BTW? If not, he should be told!

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

Yes. Ben sent me a message a week ago about it.

[@bobby9727]

WOW Great work.

[@Dude_Slick]

So you think those Lace pickups are worth the high price tag?

[@TomsToolRoom]

Awesome!

[@rheidtech]

alot if work. good stuff😉

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

Thank you!!!

[@trevorhoward2254]

That inlay.

[@74dartman13]

Awesome! I want some tools like that!

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

If there's one thing I like, its collecting cool old tools.

[@74dartman13]

SkyScraper Guitars yep! Me too!

[@Mr408joey]

Great build! What is the music you're playing in the background of the video?

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

The music is from epidemic sounds. I can't recall the song names.

[@AMERICANLEGENDModelBuilder]

Lookin good GP, who is on the French Harp?

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

I don't know who did the music. I get everything from Epidemic sound now so YT doesn't freak out every time I make a video.

[@selcukkurtulus]

I have an advice to your videographer as a videographer: Shorten your blur to focus time. If you don't, the viewer is going to watch blurred picture for a long time and it's not good, believe me. And do not overdo this effect, it is really annoying.

[@DavidHinesMusic]

Selçuk Kurtuluş I would love to see one of your videos on one of my songs. I am extremely bad at making videos.

[@selcukkurtulus]

David Hines Not extremely bad. You just need to devolop your skills. The most important subject in videography is being stable; second, shooting at the right angle so the viewer can see the best; and third, establishing fluent content with the correct timing in editing. Those are the essential rules. Good luck bro. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWLLdaGqrMtsbpI Check this video of which I was the director of photography and editor.

[@mattnsac]

Tab your parts and then you dont need to screw them down where youre milling

[@someoneelse101]

No Episode 5 :(

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

It's coming... Stay tuned.

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

No wait... There is an episode 5 & 6. 7 is still on the way.

[@someoneelse101]

I found 6 but not 5. I am viewing from my phone though so maybe my viewing options are somewhat limited

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

Give this a rip! studio.kzbin.infowG4FHLOcpGk/

[@noseyparker6622]

It might be me but.....to my eyes your headstock crow inlay is upside down isn't it?

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

Nope. The beak and feet are down and the wings are up. Its hard to see, for sure.

[@aipsong]

Nice to follow your intense mods on this kit guitar! I did a 6 day build at Crimson - a great experience - if you would like to see the video of the build, here is the link: crimson kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6i1cqlons11lcU

[@stevewelsh8560]

looks nice but the logo on the pickup rings just looks like scuffs, therefor looks ruined to me,,,,,, just one thing,,, the music you play when showing procedures was extremely annoying.
