EPIC Guitar Build for Charity | Semi-Hollow

[@scottkrosser9233]

Forgot to mention, those eclipses... Eclipsie?... Super cool idea!!

[@TheWoodenHobbyist]

Thanks! I was just happy that it was easy 😂

[@someguynj]

Love the look of this! Saw a cedar burl guitar build in a Facebook woodwork group and it also caught my eye. Definitely came out really nice!

[@TheWoodenHobbyist]

Much appreciated!

[@ToxicDover]

This turned out incredible man! Just recently found your channel and it's really making me want to dust off my very amateur woodworking skills and try my hand at a guitar haha!

[@TheWoodenHobbyist]

Thanks a lot! And you totally should 🤘🏼

[@harugrin]

Watching from Brazil here. I'm in the middle of a guitar build myself (my second). One cannot have enough tools. To your wife I say this: approve the purchase, then, ask him to make something exclusively to you using said purchase. See, win-win. Peace and long life! 🖖

[@TheWoodenHobbyist]

Very much appreciated! I just showed her your comment 😂 thanks!!

[@KennethKraemer-h1g]

Thanks for keeping me up watching your videos for hours. My musician friend has been pressuring me to take on a guitar build for him. After watching your vids, I’m all in! Going to start this coming weekend. Wish me luck!!!

[@TheWoodenHobbyist]

Thanks for taking the time to watch! And hell yeah 🤘🏼 you’re going to love it, first you’ll hate it, but then you’ll love it lol

[@AdamGates-r8j]

First time viewer. Hit subscribe right away and before your contest announcement. Inspirational work, my friend.

[@TheWoodenHobbyist]

Welcome aboard! Thanks for watching 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@vicioannou]

Love this build 👍 I have black maple for back chambered body & mallee burl over 20 years old I want to build my own guitar & would so much love to win these templates please 🙏

Just added your username to the pile!

[@jacob_krause_official7286]

From one luthier to another, excellent job bro! Watching through this vid made me realize I have no original thoughts while building cause you said everything I was thinking right after I thought it lol Absolutely loved the ecplise inlays, I am 100% gonna try that on my next build

[@TheWoodenHobbyist]

Much appreciated! Yeah I’m Noticing on other places I’ve posted that the inlays were received really well! Thanks!!

[@davidjennings9253]

A beautiful job with a great choice of woods. I recommend sorting the bearings in your bench drill as the chuck is not running true ( an easy fix ) and get yourself a 1/4" (6mm) 10 tpi skip tooth bandsaw blade and you will be able to cut out a whole body with one pass, instead of taking all those bites at it. Great job and excellent video, keep up the good work !!!

[@TheWoodenHobbyist]

I definitely need to update my drill press forsure. I purposely do no use a small blade because I hate change blades out on the bandsaw. I keep a resaw king on it because my main use for the bandsaw is resawing and ripping. Also, thanks for the compliments!

[@gregbrooks7850]

Do what thou heart desires!!! Thine own will, carry my heart to the place of most beauty and unconditional love!!! Aaaaaaaaand BOOOOBIES!!! Love ya bro, keep doing kool stuff and it will always help ppl in ways you could never imagine!!!

Can’t forget boobies 😂 and thanks man!

[@EddyEE1968]

love this build no bs also the mistakes showing is gold. The result is mind blowing, i love the layering and woodchoice , supercool guitar well done!!

[@TheWoodenHobbyist]

I really appreciate it! I like showing the mistakes. I’m human

[@tamasalfoldi9575]

I made my first guitar's neck out of maple, because I this is what I see as a standard for guitar necks. Then I decided to experiment with the next build: oak is readily available here, and it is about tenth of the price of maple. It turned out beautiful, it's color and grain is so nice. I liked it so much that I've used oak for the all my builds after that. One drawback of oak is that it's really hard and heavy, so maybe the balance of the guitar will be off because of the weight of the neck. I also read somewhere that oak sawdust is really toxic.

[@TheWoodenHobbyist]

Maple is hard and heavy as well! But I agree, oak is stunning and I believe any wood can be toxic depending on the condition it’s in.

[@loverliveforget]

Damm..really nice guitar build..actualy tbh, this guitar body shape is the shape that i realy admire..i have dream to build this guitar body shape since last year..but this video show that you are the one who is capable to to it..nice job man..👍👍👍

[@TheWoodenHobbyist]

Very much appreciated!

[@808berg]

Saw this yesterday on reddit and thought "man I'd love to see the process of building that". Stoked to find this video, great work man

[@TheWoodenHobbyist]

Glad you found it! Thanks!

[@trevorarthurson6815]

The originality of this build is so inspiring, I am doing many hours of online research right now before attempting my own first build.

[@TheWoodenHobbyist]

Thanks a lot! And very nice, good luck on this first build!

[@ghosthawk65]

Fantastic design. Because large thicknessers are expensive, hobbyist guitar makers construct a guide rail sled to flatten oversized body blanks.

[@TheWoodenHobbyist]

I agree, there’s ways around but dang it would be nice! Thanks for the compliment!

[@chrisbowers2101]

Heyyyy!! Just saw this on Reddit last night! And here we are! The “Symbiote” questionably stoned commenter!!

[@TheWoodenHobbyist]

Hell yeah right on 🤘🏼 the more I look at it, the more I agree with you lol

[@blueskytotempole]

You need that back cover brass. The rest flawless impressive esoteric ...amazing What no sound test aww man bummer well gud luck on that it's not too hard

[@TheWoodenHobbyist]

I debated on brass or black, I may switch it out eventually! Thanks!

[@D_Morse]

Nicely executed, and most likely either neck would have looked just fine. Amazing bit of wood for the top, and the finish lets it stand out front and center.

[@TheWoodenHobbyist]

Thanks. I agree they both would’ve worked. Yeah I think I’ll shop eBay more often for burl lol

[@THEOPTIMUSBROWN]

I really appreciate you donating this to a good cause. As a veteran myself, I love seeing family's of those injured or killed in the line of duty receive so.e help to make their lives easier.

[@TheWoodenHobbyist]

Absolutely, it’s the least I could do. What branch were you?

[@sean4586]

Great build and an awesome film.I bet the editing took as long as the build. Well worth it!

[@TheWoodenHobbyist]

Thanks! Yeah both took quite a bit lol

[@TheWoodenHobbyist]

[@adamsmith13real]

Nice work, wish I had the tools and the time to make something like this.

[@TheWoodenHobbyist]

Took a lot of time to gather the tools, but the tools made it less time to make. 1000 ways to skin a cat, I’m sure you could do it with different tools!

[@THEOPTIMUSBROWN]

I love guitars, and haven't had the guts to make one yet. I really want to though.

Which cutaway, the bottom? That’s a leg relief. Commonly seen on headless guitars. Plays rather comfortably when sitting down.
