3 a.m. this morning, I thought, " a full hollowbody tele, with P90's ". this is close enough.

Sir, that was an amazing build on a stunning guitar! I enjoyed your craftsmanship and your artistic talent at every aspect. I loved how you incorporated hand tools into your work so well. The instrument itself sounds and looks outstanding!

This is the best Acoustasonic concept replica ever. Many others tried to copy the concept, but definitely this is the winner. Excellently accomplished!

Really beautiful work man. I was totally on edge while you were fine rasping out the f-holes! I built one guitar, a solidbody, about 15 yrs ago, and it’s not perfect, but it turned out okay and is still very nice to play. You’ve really inspired me here -this looks exactly like what I’d like to give as a second try. And documenting on video -outstanding, thanks! I’ll send you a picture-- in a year or so😂

If you sell that 🎸 guitar, how much do you ask for it?,,,or maybe making one similar. The sound it’s fantastic.

This came out fantastic dude! The soundboard pickup and magnetic pickup sound awesome together! Almost sounds like an acoustic and electric playing together. Real unique sound!

Absolutely awesome. I get a lot of ideas from your builds and your creativity. I was thinking of doing a semi-hollow body bass next. You gave me some great things to think about, especially that floating bridge. Great job!!!

Neat. I have a design for a similarish build ready to go and am awaiting my new workshop to be built. I enjoyed your build and video and it's given me a couple of ideas for refinement of my design. Cheers from the Antipodes.

Is it full hollow body? I have a full hollow body telecaster, but It's different. My guitar have bridge block, but your guitar have bracings. Your guitar is awesome. My guitar made Freedom Custom Guitar Research, Red Pepper. It's good, too.

Awesome build . Always wondered how you wire both acoustic and electric pickups to the same output

Nice job although I think you wasted a lot of wood in the begining
@guitartech_crew28 күн бұрын
How did you secure the bridge? or is it pressed by the strings and removed when you loosen the pegs? I repair guitars, but I want to try to make them myself. There is a video for inspiration. greetings from Russia 🇷🇺

It is basically just held by the string pressure but I added very very tiny dab of glue to keep it from getting bumped especially during string changes.

Great what typ of titibond do you use and why? I see it's number 2? Why that one and not poplar 1 or not so poplar ( but i like it) number 3?

And where did then neck come from ?

It is a pre-finished Fender all parts neck.

Definitely a very slick build there, great attention to detail. Beautiful work. Can I ask how thick was your finished body before you added the soundboard?

Awesome. Can I recommend the masking tape and superglue trick for holding down templates?
@MerwinMusic Жыл бұрын
You can. I tried it at first and found it to be more hassle than it was worth.
@mysticclam Жыл бұрын
Did you angle the neck to keep the string height good using the arch top style bridge? I'm working on an acoustic tele project and I dont really like the look of the standard acoustic bridges but an arch top seemed to high. Your guitar looks great!
@MerwinMusic Жыл бұрын
Yes. I tried to demonstrate that at 0:56. Used some shims to get the template at a 3 degree angle when I routed the neck pocket.
