First off, you did a remarkable job building a gorgeous instrument. Thanks for posting... Secondarily, I normally would mute background tracks to videos like this...but when I realized it was an extended Watchtower jam, I actually had to pull a guitar out, crank the video through my stereo, and jam along. Killer man!

[@totallyunmemorable]

The video before this one the guy built an amazing guitar. But did it all with a CNC router. Hard to get too excited about that. But this! I hope you are independently wealthy. You'll go broke working this hard. I know, I used to build totally by hand too. You have my respect. Gorgeous guitar.

I don’t usually comment on guitar videos, none really stand out to me. This guitar really has some interesting timbres….the pick is heard following through. It has that sweet single coil as well…my guitar is a one of a kind, Larry Robinson did a little video on the neck work…..this guitar would hold up in all ways, probably sounds better. I am impressed.

[@Vothtrucks]

I have been building an electric guitar a little here and there and have been feeling about tired of all the care needed..... until the beauty of a guitar preceeded this video on the neck... for that........... thanks ! I,m jazzed again.! Also having never played an electric guitar and owning no " templates " I have to get all the info from KZbin. My neighbor got a new chair and was about to throw out the large box it had arrived in.... 3part ply about 1/4 thick , and I got inspiried because it had a million knots lined up in almost perfect order. I have always admired arched top guitars and thats what I am building..... theoretically . LOL I have made the neck , ( again using whatever I can find on the property ) and after some tough digging I discovered a dead oak tree with about 25 " of burl alongsideone place....yep , managed to end with 1/4" fretboard , frets cut in and still attempting to put some MOP inlay on it. Whew.... I always wanted to build an electric guitar and now at nearly 66 I am gonna do it. Thanks for the details and again for the dude that is seriously rockin it !

[@DinoKintanar88]

That would be a great guitar! And if you want to ask anything about this build feel free to ask. Thanks for watching!

Paduk looks really really good - one of the nicest looking woods in my opinion - but unfortunately it coats your room in a fresh coat of red dust when sanded or cut, which is rather aggravating.

[@johndawson6057]

​@@fooglezhow did it go?

[@fooglez]

@@johndawson6057 I built/rebuilt about 7 guitars. It’s really fun imo, the issue for me was a lack of available working space and the need of a router. You can get by without the router if you go with pre made bodies or necks, but if you actually want to make the guitar from scratch you need a router among some other tools. The main thing for me is that I felt I could basically build my own custom shop for cheaper than a squire. My pink strat was painted the OG way with lacquer and the body countours were shaved down to resemble older hand shaped strats from the 50s or 60s. My pink strat probably cost me 250-300 in materials, not including the cost of tools or the many hours it took me. The main thing if you do build, is to research then go slow. Taking your time will show up in the end product. The real benefit is that I’ve not once looked to buy a new guitar since building my own. It’s like being able to make your holy grail guitar exactly how you want it.
