I Built a Tim Henson Guitar

Fretboard inlay took me almost a month to finish, I only use small hand tools and a magnifying goggles to make them. The Guitar body took me 3 months to make, and 1 week of practicing #playinggod by #polyphia at the same time editing this video.
I was inspired by #timhenson 's music and made this guitar as a tribute to his great music, skill and talent. I hope you all like it, I gave my all producing the special guitar and this video.

beautiful video!

[@GitaraMaker]

It's an honor to see you here. Thanks for inspiring this video. ❤️

[@isshwor]

Tim replied, that's actually crazy

[@seanorz1920]

That’s crazy imagine if he could play it😫

[@rkpragyajitsingh3074]

​@@seanorz1920yeah i want him to play it

[@julysaurus]

Ternyata kita telah menonton video yang sama

[@bazwillrun]

Thats not guitar building...Thats Art !...The filming the music, everything just perfect

[@Anonomus-m4j]

I love how meticulous this is. I have just done a few hand too restorations to start off and I'm the same way. Its a shame I don't see this more often.

[@wordonthestreetministries6241]

It's both art and craft 🥰

[@k.k.3471]

Very nice work, very nicely sounds. Hi from France.

[@deadosaka1712]

the two aren't mutually exclusive, guitar building IS art.

[@thaurr8619]

The music is too much

[@ryanriggs9963]

Never seen someone put a sanding disc on a drill press, absolutely genius

[@badscrew4023]

Yeah, stealing this tip immediately. I was using a Safe-T-Planer for that but they're a pain to keep sharp

[@tammymorningstar4794]

That is a sneaky trick. Stolen. Tam's other half

[@mikehamelin7520]

thought that was very clever too

[@Glen-xz8wh]

Had the same thought....I was lucky to have found this video.... GORGEOUS WORK...

[@bigtalltim]

Came here to type the exact same thing! Genius - new sub here!!

[@schitzyoubreed4963]

No fancy background music. No annoying voice over.. just art

[@king_pathik]

Well there is background music...

[@beleaff]

Playing the piece at the end was the cherry from the cake

[@GitaraMaker]

Thank you!

[@pennywise4843]

I am in awe of your skill, passion and talent. What an incredible guitar. This embodies craftsmanship.

[@GitaraMaker]

Thank you!

[@Huron_Ra]

I have a new appreciation for the amount of work that's gone into making a guitar.

[@indigokid24]

Man, I would love to be able to do that. Imagine wanting a guitar and instead of buying it you just make it yourself! Living the dream

[@joesundvold45]

Great beginner project! Thumbs up!

[@jonathanyun7817]

Incredible build! I wasn't expecting to be nearly as mesmerized as I was by your intricate handiwork, framing and composition, and the sheer amount of detailed planning necessary to pull everything together. Bravo!!!

[@GitaraMaker]

Thank you!

[@MashaT22]

This is an amazing build. I’ve played the TOD10n. I love that it honors the real deal while still retaining some of your own creative choices. I also really like the natural unpainted top. The inlays are pretty spot on to my eye. You even added some binding and a heel cap like the TOD10n - I really like the look of yours with wood binding. Have you tagged Tim Henson? I bet he’d get a kick out of your work! #TimHenson #Polyphia

[@aydenmcfly1362]

The binding made me go 😯 , ooooo what a classy fellow

[@PhrostMotion]

You are ridiculously talented. The tools and jigs, the techniques, the way you are combining things to make it work for you. Just Excellent!!

[@GitaraMaker]

Thank you!

[@ibrahimismail5625]

and he can play guitar too!

[@pedrokd5439]

The secret of reproducing many guitars is making precise jigs for bending and glueing up. Makes construction a joy. 😊

[@culeacosmin5650]

Simply amazing! I play the Tim Hanson Ibanez every day now. I dont realise how much work, time and sweat it takes to produce this guitar! Keep up your guitar work! 👍😊🎸

[@boogye2108]

Your work is very inspiring, keep up the good work my friend 👍🏼😊

[@GitaraMaker]

Thank you!

[@Gaukler81]

Wow! That's fantastic... Good work my friend. Enjoy your guitar for all times...best wishes

[@leogomezp7956]

Amazing job and sound!!! Congratulations!!!

[@AployHD]

WOW incredible craftsmanship! this also looks like a very calming and fun thing to work on!

[@GitaraMaker]

Thank you!

[@etulleervinjade5089]

That's not a guitar, that's a masterpiece 🔥🔥🔥

[@yell8w403]

Your right it does look like a piano 🤔

[@Velereonics]

the first song in the background is fantastic. what a mood

[@justcallmed933]

Oh, I love guitars in natural colour so much better, wonderful build!

[@Aresmusic.official]

The beautiful build and a beautiful playing! The unplugged version was more catchy imho. Well done mate!

[@GitaraMaker]

[@hudaif1451]

Bruh! I've been waiting for this for a looong time ,when you told me that its in work i keep coming back to you'r channel many times to see if you uplaoded it yet

[@GitaraMaker]

It's one of the most challenging guitar that I built, the inlay took me a month to make. I remember our conversation back then, that's why I have to keep my promise. Thank you for your patience!

[@mrcafe3x_]

1 minute in and im already impressed, i always see luthiers using clamps and special tools for gluing wood, while you use 2 fixed wood, some height and gravity, that's beautiful

[@GitaraMaker]

Thank you!

[@pantelisgiannenas1811]

I have watch many guitar making videos but this one I enjoy the most. Beautiful work amazing wood grain. Loved it so much

[@GitaraMaker]

I'm really glad you liked it. Thank you!

[@charlotteglover2159]

[@samouellette5130]

I love having access to videos like this where I can just see a master at work Something I have very little knowledge on myself that I can just immerse myself in and appreciate the craftsmanship I don’t build guitars I just play them Beautiful work

[@adamcone6856]

Absolutely wonderful to see. You have great luthiery skills. I started my first electric guitar build very recently, which is a Telecaster. This is on my to do list in the future. Excellent music choices for us to hear while watching. I am now subscribed! Thanks for the video!

[@DaVinci0963]

Very nice! Versatile sound. Plugged or unplugged is fine. Great job!

[@DiegoHernandezmaunaguitar]

that´s as beautiful as insane as inspiring, truly amazing work!!!! Congrats!!!

[@sulfin3penthes]

[@EricDandoy]

Amazing work, thanks for sharing!

[@guitarzleo]

Amazing build! Great detail and mostly done with handtools... I love the simple jigs and hacks you used instead of sophisticated tools. Very beautiful guitar! Nice sounding too!

[@GitaraMaker]

Thank you!

[@lehry100]

Astounding! What a masterpiece, you are art itself sir big respect *hats off* it's so soothing that made me sleep the first time I watched it. But when I woke up I immediately watched again til the end.

[@ted9876]

Great work. Beautiful design and selection of tone woods. Thanks for sharing.

[@SergeyKan-d7e]

Thank you for the wonderful video! I make guitars myself (more precisely, electric guitars), and the experience of this Master was very beneficial to me.

[@darcphat]

Napa wow ako sa hand carved binding channel niyo, sir. Napakahusay!

[@GitaraMaker]

Thank you po!

[@akitsuki1149]

Awesome art of craftsmanship! Great video filming, too! Sound: wonderful! Just only, unplugged is more forgiving. Your hands have created a great guitar!

[@David.C.Velasquez]

Wonderful! The pencil in the bearing tip is great.

[@mikehamelin7520]

lot of sweet little tips in this video. this guy knows his craft

[@marcoshenriquetraducao-ver4802]

Beautiful work, at the same time of art, detail and precision. Congratulations on the complete video, showing the beauty of building a musical instrument with unique characteristics. And in the end, the beautiful sound, the result and goal of all the careful work.

[@sashguitars_com]

Respect from Canada, great video presentation as well. Without bla bla.

[@Valtanen-music]

Beautiful work, and good job nailing the Playing God! IMO the unplugged sounds better 😊

[@koka5491]

I've been waiting for somebody to build it for so long. Incredible skills and talent. Great video and the guitar is even better!

[@primitiveT]

Absolutely awesome! You must be so proud! I would be!

[@josetobias8084]

You know, I feel like smiling and crying right now, because this is a waaay too beautiful of a video. The perfection of every single thing, omg!

[@HikingFeral]

The strength of simple wood glue never ceases to amaze me. Beautiful work!

[@LeeBailes]

Loved the editing / stop motion look to the timelapse. Great workmanship too

[@GitaraMaker]

Thank you!

[@Matser038]

Must be massive glue, to take on such pulling forces.....great job!!

[@OctaneeX]

Hats off to a guitar making guy who is able to play something that is supposed to be played on that kind of a guitar.

[@FroggyMan]

WOW so beautiful that is the work of a master Luthier amazing

[@barrycole]

Not afraid of work, that is for sure. I can only imagine what it took to get to this point. Bravo.

[@greggesaman535]

Beautiful production and build. It’s wonderful to see a true craftsman at work.

[@marlonnascimento3966]

Obra de arte aí. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@digitaldrag2]

Just when I reached the middle, I fell asleep. I was so relaxed! And was very hooked that when I woke up the next morning, the first thing I remembered was to finish the video. Subbed! Ganda ng gawa mo sir!

[@mwylie1085]

I am absolutely stunned by the craftsmanship required to accomplish this...amazing

[@BadHorsie2]

A little binding around the sound hole would have been cool. Awesome build!!

[@Alan-ii5gs]

Is the sound hole on the side? I thought some electronics were going there

[@karemare6426]

This is beautiful. To see this process captured like this, with these angles, with its natural sound, and the background music. It's just perfect. Thank you, sir, you brought some real joy to my day.

[@MrBobrguitar]

How I envy your woodworking skill! My father was quite talented in That area ( not guitar building but I bet he could have done it if he so desired) . I could’ve learned much from him but , I was a stupid kid and rebelled and went my own way! Hindsight is 20/20! Thx for your vid.

[@CandleWaxwell]

That's amazing unplugged

[@Sk0lzky]

That's an ingenious glue-up jig! I'm a woodworker and a guitarist myself so at some point I decided to try making some simpler instruments in spare time, and I've only ever had to join two thinner slats at most (it was for a morin khuur, no heat bending required so I figured it would be my first project) but I was totally lost when it came to larger stuff (I tried parallel clamps with a ton of boards and it would always fall apart) - your solution is simple and elegant, 10/10

[@abdiasgavino8204]

¡¡¡ THE BEST AND PERFECT VIDEO !!!

[@GitaraMaker]

Thank you! 😊

[@zenstain]

Love everything about this build but *especially* those lit sound holes :)

[@crypical5567]

The fact that you basically freehanded most of this is breathtaking

[@scottturcotte1860]

That was quite satisfying to watch! 👍😊👍

[@paulrummery6905]

Mate..beautiful work. Happiness is sharp steel. And sweet tone..

[@elkidosKer]

building a guitar in under 30 minutes?! props dude

[@angelaferkel1]

Wow, that’s amazing! What a beautyful Guitar 👍🏼

[@donaldscheer5206]

Awesome! I Build Electric Guitars & I Must Say; This Guitar Requires So Many Skills! & I Applaud You On Your DIY Tools & Fixtures! Beauitiful Work! Just Awesome!

[@GitaraMaker]

Thank you!

[@sharvilved]

Goshhhh, the relief when the wood piece for the sound hole didn't fall inside the guitar

[@Nitryl44]

Sometimes KZbin recommendation bother me... but not this time ! Fascinating !

[@jaythornton1480]

I like the unplugged

[@santos.l.halper1999]

That heel cap was a very nice touch. Excellent use of fine timbers, not overused. Sleek but modest with high quality craftsmanship. Muy buen tribajo.

[@GitaraMaker]

Thank you!

[@NETTNobviously]

When I saw the thumbnail I thought, oh snap, maybe I can make this guitar on a budget and have one after all, how hard can it be. What a piece of art, I take it all back. It looks phenomenal.

[@Hoellewood_Solutions]

I woke up to this, thank you

[@GitaraMaker]

Wow thanks!
