Great Guitar Build Off 2020 Entry - Sunburst Veneer Experiment

@@3x3CustomTamar I liked it just the way it was before you "fixed it." There is beauty in asymmetry. The Navajo, when weaving blankets or baskets, would purposely include a "mistake'" in their patterns.

I've been following this channel for quite awhile (and all the other contestants as well), and I have to say for a build by a non-luthier, this is an amazing guitar that will give everyone else in the contest a run for their charity money!

[@georgedeconto9599]

I have to agree

[@Timberwolf69]

@@georgedeconto9599 Me too. To me, this sunburst guitar is the most beautiful of the lot, Ben's is the coolest, Matt's is just insane. The others are nice, too but these three stand out for me. If I had the money, I surely would bid on Tamar's and Ben's guitars - and I don't even play guitar.

[@bartmoorthy9513]

I agree. I had a quick look at the images of most of the others immediately after watching this video. I'll have to watch the build videos before I know for sure, but as it stood in the wee hours of the morning (Singapore time) Tamar's was looking the best. Though, I am intrigued by a couple of the others too.

[@JimChamp]

What place? Dammit, that was such a sweet and original job, can't believe didn't place higher.

[@guitarbobification]

Just finished watching "What tools do you need to start woodworking" then watched this one. I didn't get a chance to see all the Great Guitar Build Off videos last year but relaxing enjoying some today. I wish I had a mentor like you when I was starting in woodworking 50 years ago. Your method of describing things is very understandable and your processes are very methodical. I enjoyed watching you learn while undertaking the guitar build (specifically the veneer, and plugging and re-drilling the output jack - like I had to LOL) as I myself have had a baptism by fire in the last few years - having woodworking experience but not as much guitar building. I am finally making guitars I enjoy playing but it has taken a while. I cheered as you completed the electronics and they worked, and clapped as you played the guitar through the different pickup positions. I would definitely ROCK the sunburst guitar you built. I am glad there are people out there like you, Ben at Crimson, Matt and Chris at Texas Toast and so many others that are willing to share their knowledge and spend the time to bring great information and entertainment to a world hungry for a way to spend productive time. Thank you so much!!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

So glad you like it! Guitar building is addictive!

I can't really afford 2 grand on a guitar today...but as a guy with a really nice small collection of great instruments who has been playing for 25 years, I'd be proud to play that thing in front of anyone!!! You did such a great job. its unique, lovely, and you avoided a lot of pitfalls that people who try to do unique shapes fall into. the body shape is cool as heck and the headstock shape is not an afront to all mankind like so many. the "mistake" was fine. I would have never noticed but your dedication to doing it right is commendable. "clicks subcribe".

Thanks so much! I wouldn’t be able to sleep for the rest of my life knowing that mistake was out there in the world...

[@GenoLoma]

"Uploaded 27 minutes ago" This is why I stay up late.. :D

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Haha!

[@nalukeko]

For what it’s worth, my ranking in terms of preference to own personally… Guns N Guitars - that headstock!! And nice wave! …tied with 3x3 Custom - super clean straightforward build. Nice shape and top! Crimson - outlandish awesome, but I’d never go on stage with it. Texas Toast - amazing look, but breaks your back. Know Your Gear - ? haven’t seen final, but I like the PRS shape and expect a great finish Big D - I don’t do Teles, nice finish, but I’m not into chevron flames either. Angove - popping grain!, but shape hmm. And pickguards don’t connect smoothly. Diresta - maybe with a smooth gloss finish and the original burnt look underneath. How heavy is that thing anyways?

[@ImNotOld_ImVintage]

I haven't gone to auctions to see the price, but after watching videos, I think the two I'd bid on are 3x3 and Guns and Guitars. Before this contest I'd never been to either channel but I was immediately in awe of the skill and craft(wo)manship with the wood in this video that I had to subscribe.

[@PaterF2]

FWIW: I LIKED the asymmetry in the veneer. Given the body, shape it worked and was visually interesting. However, for future experiments, you might consider getting together a collection of touch up pens or cans of stain that are pigmented in close approximation to your collection of raw woods. Using a piece of 1/4" birch or other white plywood, you can lay out your notions, score them in using a utility or hobby knife (do stop bleed through of the pigment) and work several different samples without committing your veneer stocks. You can also use the same technique to brainstorm marquetry ideas (should you be so inclined), again without committing your precious wood stocks. Great job - I would be proud & happy to have produced something of that quality. VERY well done! ALSO... best demo I have seen to date. Same riff/same chord across all the settings vs. a different riff or improv in each setting "cuz it sounds cooler." Listened to each setting a couple times and was able to compare apples and apples (I already KNOW the diff between a tele-twang finger riff and a hard picked neck/high gain rip) What you did is EXACTLY what I do when trying out a guitar (then I act the fool and try to play stuff WAAAAY over my head, but whatcha gonna do??)

Hello Tamar, I'm brand new to your Channel. You made an amazing Guitar! I already love your Channel, it's great, and you're a pleasure to watch. Thank you Tamar for including your mistake -that's so honest and 'Big' of you. It's refreshing to see an expert Builder show that they are also human. We all make the mistake, contemplate the fix, and move on. You showed the mistake (now someone may avoid doing that), showed your grief, showed the correct repair solution -very important, and then showed the end result; beautiful! The satisfaction of doing it right outweighs the effort of the repair. Thank you for showcasing your humanness, it makes for a more informative video. It also shows that you care about your work, and inspires your viewers to do the same. Good luck with the Contest Tamar! ...BTW; yours is my favorite -the triple was nice & took a lot of work, but more isn't always better.

Beautiful! Not sure if this is my favourite guitar in the competition, but this is definitely my favourite build-video and maker. Amazing work!

Glad you liked it! Thanks!

I love the way it’s shaped watching these builds make me want to make a guitar

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so much! Careful. It’s addicting.

I love natural wood guitars over stained and painted and and what you built is amazing the colours and choices of woods on the top are sublime. As for your accident you were a true professional you just fixed it and made it look easy so we could all learn. You're a true master

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so much! I love being able to showcase the beauty of the natural wood. So happy I was able to recover!

Fantastic video and what a lovely looking guitar, it shows a great attention to detail throughout the whole of the build, and I can see how justifiably proud you are in completing it.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so much! I had to say goodbye to it today... it was a very sad day

This is the winner!!! What a beautiful guitar, and the wiring is more then i would ever hoped for . my only wish is that i had the kind of money to bid on it i'm sure it will fetch more then i could ever hope to offer ..

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so much! So glad you liked it! I spent a lot of time figuring out how I was going to do that wiring. Glad I pushed myself on this one

[@wi11.0w1sp]

Best build I've seen so far! Good luck in the competition!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so much!!

You are schooling everybody else on this contest with your woodworking skills. Chapeau!!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Haha! Thanks! ☺️🤘

Really nice looking result! And I actually love the "bodged veneer" part of the video; that kind of mistake and your reaction to it is so human and relatable. I think a lot of youtubers wouldn't have shown that but rather just put in some note when editing, along the lines of "at this point I noticed I'd mixed up two of the veneer pieces, so I routed them off and glued on some new ones, no worries!".

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so much! Yeah. It was a really awful day but I figured some people would benefit from seeing how I fixed it

[@karlkrabbenhoft9560]

That’s a beauty, the shape, functionality and the sunburst pattern are great!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so much! I had a lot of fun with it

[@JamieR74]

[@3x3CustomTamar]
