Your attitude is inspiring man. Trials are part of the process. The end result is beautiful. You should be super proud and a little less hard on yourself. Your skill is evident to all of us who follow and it'll only get more and more honed in as time goes on. Great work 👏 👍 👌

[@CMRWoodworks]

Thanks for the encouraging comment! And thanks for watching!

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

The guitar sounds pretty awesome! It looks great too... All our instruments and other things we build have their hidden secrets, but that's what gives them character.

[@CMRWoodworks]

Thanks man!

[@doubledarefan]

~7:42 Tape a piece of paperboard over the first inch of the saw to make sure not to scratch the headstock.

[@CMRWoodworks]

Good idea!

[@martinlouden9005]

It looks and sounds beautiful Chris. Don't be so hard on yourself, it's only your second attempt. Numbers 3, 4, 5 etc will be better and better!

[@CMRWoodworks]

Thanks so much!

[@myguitarworkshop]

For your second build it's amazing, I get mystery dings and dints in my guitars too. hehe Don't blame the kids ....

[@CMRWoodworks]

Haha, thanks!

[@TheRandyguitarrista]

Awesome! it sounds very nice!! I like it!!

[@CMRWoodworks]

Thanks!

[@Ulmer5210]

That is a beautiful guitar!

[@CMRWoodworks]

Thank you!

[@Mister_G]

It has turned out great - looks and sounds. Kudos to you for showing the 'full struggle' to get there. You should be proud of it.

[@CMRWoodworks]

Thanks a lot!

[@choud-cc]

I think it looks and sounds great! So nice to see the second build finally done! what a journey!

[@CMRWoodworks]

It was a journey indeed! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@forrestfox5858]

Thanks so much for sharing this. Recording on top of the actual building is something that would stress most of us out I imagine. Anyway the guitar sounds excellent. Cheers from Michigan my man! And also you’re doing great, don’t be so hard on yourself. Most people only dream of doing this kind of thing, and you’re putting your money where your mouth is, so keep your head high and never stop building! Thanks again for sharing, you do amazing work.

[@CMRWoodworks]

Man I appreciate the comment! Recording is definitely another layer of stress. It makes a project take a lot longer too. Thanks for the encouragement!

[@vickimcdowell1916]

It sounds great! The cutest guitar models too.

[@CMRWoodworks]

Thanks!

[@MrDaveKC]

That's a very nice guitar, all told. I'm hoping to get my own built fairly soon, but we'll see how it goes. And fun models showing off the guitar! Your girls are a little younger than mine. So again, very nice, and I love what you did with this guitar.

[@CMRWoodworks]

Thanks so much! Good luck finishing up your build!

[@thecluelessluthier6520]

Congrats on your second build! It sounds great, nice volume and articulation between notes.

[@CMRWoodworks]

Thanks Mark!

[@MikeT]

Thoughts on the next build yet?

[@CMRWoodworks]

Not sure yet. Still thinking about it! Thanks for watching!

[@davidburns9851]

Chris, Have enjoyed your videos so much. Am wrapping up building my first guitar and have related very closely with your first. Keep up the great work Dave

[@CMRWoodworks]

Thanks so much! Good luck finishing your build!

[@JRJ2000]

Sorry I’m so late! Congrats on finishing it. It sounds nice and bright! I’d love to hear it in person. Despite all the flaws you see in it, it’s amazing. Good job building it.

[@CMRWoodworks]

Thanks for watching the whole thing!!

[@hereasafanofallsorts5164]

Its definately a finger picking guitar - sounds amazing Chris

[@CMRWoodworks]

Thanks!

[@robertocara922]

Good job! I'm also building my first guitar and I know how many hours and how much effort it takes! Don't sell it! But maybe next time yes =)

[@CMRWoodworks]

It does take a lot of work, but it’s so rewarding by the end. You’ll find that out hopefully! Thanks for watching!

[@stevecarver4906]

If you sell that guitar what's the price?

[@CMRWoodworks]

I was going to just sell it for cost, but I have decided to hold on to it for now. Probably won‘t sell this one. I feel I need to improve my skills a little more in order to feel good about selling.

[@TMoody]

Is this guitar for sale?

[@CMRWoodworks]

Unfortunately not. I decided to keep it.

[@TMoody]

Built me this but with 22 frets. 🙂@@CMRWoodworks

[@stevecarver4906]

It must be a luthier thing working in pajamas I do the same😂

[@CMRWoodworks]

😂

[@MOHANMSHARMA]

Very loud , Good sound and long resonetting. And remember , that we are not luthier, i have seen many professional guitar luthier vedio, and such type of mistake seen in vedio, so enjoy your work, that is your baby.

[@CMRWoodworks]

Thanks for the comment!

[@wasab1tch]

Dude the sustain is incredibly sounding so good. It is not muted at all, and it really sounds full like a dreadnought. Keep building guitars and we'll be happy to watch you do amazing things in the future!

[@CMRWoodworks]

Thanks a lot! I sure will continue building. In fact, I‘m almost midway on number 3 and making molds and such as I am planning number 4!
