Das Gitarren Kit als Ausgangsbasis:

Das ist mein erstes Gitarrenbau Projekt und es hat mega viel Spass gemacht.
Die Gitarre habe ich so auf meiner Veranda gebaut, deshalb musste hier viel improvisiert werden.
Ich Mag T-Style Gitarren, Headles Gitarren und Akustik Gitarren, hier habe ich alle 3 miteinander vereint.
Das Tuning System habe ich mir komplett selber ausgedacht, es ist im Body der Gitarre eingelassen, so das man es nicht sieht und eine möglichst sauber Optik bietet.
Die Bauteile für das System habe ich selber gezeichnet und am 3D Drucker ausgedruckt.
Lackiert habe ich die Gitarre mit einen Schellack, der umwelttechnisch nicht so bedenklich ist wie die meisten anderen Lacke.
Allerdings war es sehr aufwendig den Lack aufzutragen, da ich ungefähr 20 bis 30 dünne schichten aufgebracht habe und diverse male zwischen geschliffen habe.
Die Optik erinnert allerdings nach der Lackierung, an alte Traditionelle Instrumente und ich denke die aufwendige Lackierung hast sich dadurch mehr als gelohnt.
Im Inneren der Gitarre habe ich 2 Piezo Tonabnehmer installiert + den Originalen in der Brücke. Dadurch kann man die Gitarre auch als Trommel benutzen :)

This is my first guitar building project and it was mega fun.
I built the guitar like this on my porch, so a lot of improvisation had to be done here.
I like T-style guitars, Headles guitars and acoustic guitars, here I combined all 3.
The tuning system I came up with completely on my own, it is recessed into the body of the guitar so you can't see it and gives the cleanest look possible.
I drew the parts for the system myself and printed them on the 3D printer.
I painted the guitar with shellac, which is not as environmentally harmful as most other paints.
However, it was very time-consuming to apply the varnish, because I applied about 20 to 30 thin layers and sanded several times between.
However, the look after the varnish, reminiscent of old traditional instruments and I think the elaborate varnish has thus more than worth it.
Inside the guitar I have installed 2 piezo pickups + the original in the bridge. Thus, the guitar can also be used as a drum :)

Saugeil gemacht 👍👍👍

[@tijnstarr]

Vielen Dank :)

[@BadassBrutusGuitar]

@@tijnstarr gerne geschehen! Es wäre toll, wenn du auch einen Blick auf meinen Versuch meine erste DIY-Gitarre zu bauen werfen würdest... :) Ich muss sagen, ich habe viel gelernt und würde gerne deine Meinung sehen, vielleicht ein paar Tipps und Tricks :) Gruss aus Groningen (NL) Bert

great! very interested in de built in tuning mechanisme... top!

[@potatoman2442]

Big fan of your tunning system. Good job.

[@gk6993]

I never knew someone could do this. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@PhattaArt]

Appreciate 🎉

[@samnambull]

Wow! It is amazing!

[@whaguitars]

AWESOME JOB!!

[@Umbaharo]

really nice build!

[@mrszambesi]

Wow!!! Klingt super, sieht super aus!!!!! Sehr beeindruckend!!

[@ry7hym]

great build and not to forget the great camera work

[@bogartmc]

Tuner design is genius!

[@tijnstarr]

Thank you 😊 On the tuning mechanism, I sat really long, it took forever until I knew how to implement it, since there is nothing comparable.

[@danielabilez3619]

Hummm You had to do it! Good job. You're dream is your own brought to fruition. As long as she sings for you ... job well done

[@kenturmon9428]

Fkn awesome build dude

[@pawewicher2112]

This was the winner for me!

[@tijnstarr]

Thank you for the compliment, I have never done something like this before, so I'm even more pleased if you like it.

[@bassmana2z686]

Nice work sir.

[@tijnstarr]

Thank you :)

[@lukaslmguitarcorner]

Respekt, super gemacht!

[@tijnstarr]

Danke Schön :)

[@DavidsMusicChannel]

Hey that was real cool and nicely done!

[@tijnstarr]

Thank you, I also had a lot of fun with the project

[@DavidsMusicChannel]

@@tijnstarr I’m just building an LP right now and hopefully it will turn out cool. I’ve built a double neck and a few others already but not quite as adventurous as your build :)

[@tijnstarr]

@@DavidsMusicChannel I would like to see the double neck guitar, can you show me some pictures of it?

[@DavidsMusicChannel]

@@tijnstarr sure, you can check out the entire series here kzbin.info/aero/PLvRL0VNjW3aBYkrQZweTXBNFbW9whf8Jw

Nice build!

[@tijnstarr]

Thank you 🤩

[@scottwilkinson2009]

Really impressive! I love it

[@tijnstarr]

Thank you 😊

[@TheAlexFromGalax]

Eine Frage zu dem Stimmmechanismus hätte ich, falls du sie mir beantworten willst. Verstanden habe ich das Prinzip so weit: du verwendest pro Saite ein Spannschloss, bei dem auf einer Seite eine Schraube zum Stimmen und auf der anderen die Saite eingegangen wird. Die Saiten führst du dann durch eine M8-Gewindestange in die eigentliche Brücke über die die Saiten dann an der "Kopfplatte" ankommt. Worum handelt es sich bei grauen Plastik (?) in dem die Gewindestange (als Saitenführung) steckt? Das System ist sehr cool! Das Video war in meinen Vorschlägen und ich bin sehr froh es gesehen zu haben.

[@tijnstarr]

Viele Dank für die netten Worte ! Die M8 Gewindestange hat allerdings nicht gut funktioniert. Ich musste diese gegen eine 8mm dicke Kugelgelagerte Welle wechseln, damit die Seiten nicht Reissen xD Das graue Plastikteil habe ich Konstruiert, damit die Spannschlösser geführt und abgedeckt werden. "und als Sichtschutz für die Hässlichen Spannschlösser" Das ganze System ist allerdings nicht ausgereift im Video. Ich habe ein neues Design Konstruiert was wesentlich besser funktioniert, allerdings bis jetzt nur in CAD und als Modellversuch. Ich werde versuchen das dieses Jahr noch zu bauen und zu Filmen.

[@Conall8]

Very creative, I admire your work!

[@tijnstarr]

I'm glad you like the guitar, in the future I would like to build another similar guitar, I didn't think I would enjoy it so much.

[@Conall8]

@@tijnstarr I would like to try building a kit, but I think I will keep it stock for my first build!

[@tijnstarr]

@@Conall8 The kit is really good for the money, I like best the neck is made of very hard wood and is super processed. The body I find not so great, the wood is very soft but it fits for the money you pay. I wish you much fun with your project

[@robinleebraun7739]

Wouldn’t mind seeing details of tuning machines and how you did them. (Or where you bought them)

[@sonicase]

hmm interesting

[@tijnstarr]

Thank you :)

[@gitfiddlio]

I've been wondering how an acoustucaster design like this, with some body wood left in the bridge area, would work with a Hipshot trilogy bridge.

[@tijnstarr]

The whole thing goes very well, so far it is very tuning stable. The tuning mechanism, however, is a separate development and not a "Hipshot trilogy bridge". I will make the days a video to guitar, where you can see the whole thing a little better.

[@jahstix]

@@tijnstarr the one i built has a knockoff hipshot headless bridge tuner, my problem is imagining how it would work in a semihollow body and if the transfer of vibration will get to wood from tuner to vibrate the top well

[@dddddddd9870]

how tu tune strings?

[@SilverPaladin]

winnner!

[@karanXd]

Hey brother can you pls teach me how to install piazo pickups into my acoustic guitar 😭

[@jahstix]

This is phenomenal its like my dream guitar with a few pickup mods!! GREAT JOB DUDE !! One question tho... HOW DO U TUNE IT ?

[@tijnstarr]

Hello, thank you for your great compliment that makes me very happy. The tuning of the guitar goes with a M5 nut, or with my self-printed knob, on the bottom of the guitar. The whole thing is very easy. I built the guitar so that you can't see the tuning mechanism, because I wanted the guitar to have a clean classic look. The tuners are completely hidden in the body. I will make the days another video to guitar, where you can see that better. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

[@jahstix]

@@tijnstarr great build dude! very interested in the tuner system , thanx

[@jahstix]

@@tijnstarr can I email u about the tuner, I'd love to build one like urs, I'm not a big fan of those tuners that stick out so this seems like a great idea, is there an email I can reach u at ? Thanx again

[@aeronsipat5838]

can you show me how the tuning keys works?

[@LeonHeng-om1jm]

bro do u have blueprints or something like this is exactly ehat ive been wanting also how does it sound unplugged

[@tijnstarr]

It Sound like a Tele Thinline xD

[@josipmustac3291]

Awsome! How that bridge operates?

[@1hackatdaylinus]

Genius. If I need one?

[@eijp1]

欲しい

[@TASPP]

Tolles Projekt, aber blöde Frage: Wie stimmst Du die Gitarre?

[@tijnstarr]

Das ist das spezielle an der Gitarre, ich habe eine eigene Stimmmechanik konstruiert die im Gitarren-Körper verbaut ist. Stimmen tut man auf der Unterseite der Gitarre, mit der Hand oder mit eine 8mm Nuss. (Eigentlich wie bei allen headless Gitarren, nur das meine Mechanik versteckt ist, also integriert. ) Ich werde dazu nochmal ein kleines Video machen, da ich in der Zwischenzeit das System etwas verfeinert habe. Danke lg 😀

[@TASPP]

@@tijnstarr Ahhh, ok, danke für die Antwort ;)

[@ry7hym]

1:28 who is screaming? xD

[@tijnstarr]

These are the kids in the yard playing soccer 😂

[@-DIEU-TE-CHERCHE-9923]

Great video thank you, what is the weight of this guitar ?

[@tijnstarr]

I am very pleased that you like the guitar. The guitar weighs 2.15 killograms

[@Asrar_DryLips]

how tuning this guitar ?

[@rickedstyles1]

So the grooves keep the turnbuckle looking things from turning as you tune?

[@tijnstarr]

I have milled grooves in the wood which, when tuned, ensure that the turnbuckles do not rotate. In addition, I have constructed a lid that also has the grooves and also fixes the turnbuckles from above. The whole thing works quite well, but I would optimize the whole next time.

[@tijnstarr]

the deflection of the sides, however, is no longer as can be seen in the video, here I got me later stored deflection rollers. In the old version, the strings are torn.

[@Hoellewood_Solutions]

At 1:29, was someone dying?

[@tijnstarr]

the kids on the Streets playing xD

[@FunnyHaHa420]

Very cool. It looks like a pain in the dick to tune on the fly.

[@rickedstyles1]

What size are the turnbuckles?

[@tijnstarr]

I think I used m5, in Germany these things are called cap nuts

[@rickedstyles1]

Thank you I think that would lead me on the right path! Very clever design!

[@tijnstarr]

@@rickedstyles1 Thank you I have thought forever until I came up with this idea, because I have found nothing comparable so far on the Internet. When I have a CNC machine I will revise the whole thing and make a new video.

[@jahstix]

@@tijnstarr hi , did u ever get to revise it ?

[@tijnstarr]

@@jahstix Hello no I do not have that anymore. I have built myself a small workshop in the last year, with all kinds of great maschienen to be able to build new better guitars, from scratch. I think the guitar looks good and it goes so far, I'm about to build a second version where I improve things from scratch. I will try to show that in a video. I will probably start with it in the next weeks.

[@LDN76]

Very nice, gut gemacht!! Practice some more and earn some money playing somewhere so you can buy a new pants. Or sell the guitar but that would be a shame :)

[@tijnstarr]

Thank you for the flowers. I'm trying hard to keep practicing, I haven't been playing guitar for long, but I'm having a lot of fun.
