I really don't know why you are not more recognized in the online community. You are literally THE source to watch when it comes to staining a guitar top.

[@kennyh5083]

This ain't rocket science homie, millions of woodworkers know how to do this!

[@BradAngove]

Don't mind me, I'll just be watching this on repeat.

[@bigdguitars]

don't be stealin any of my vid ideas hahahaha.

[@BradAngove]

Well there go all of my content plans for the next six months... haha

[@captbuscemi]

@@BradAngove Feelin' the love

[@flatsixx]

Same here buddy.

[@Puciferthegreat]

Looks absolutely superb, what a lovely top and you got the color scheme spot on

[@givemeajackson]

this looks absolutely stunning! what an exceptional piece of wood!

[@upalony69]

Outstanding pattern at 12.55! Love that color and shapes. Super.

[@Bflatest]

I wish you guitar painters would show a fine image of it with the hardware on

[@johnsguitarmusicanddemos]

I agree!

[@plainsroamer405]

This is maybe the best paint job I have ever seen on a guitar. Just incredible. Would love to have seen it finished. Beautiful.

[@markbundy1694]

I’ve watched this Vid countless times, never gets old…👍👏

[@wombat6]

I don't know how many times I've watched this. One of my fav videos on the channel, along with a few others

[@prs907]

This video inspired me to do my own tele build! Thanks for making these videos! I must have watched this a dozen times by now man.

[@redryderaus]

You have an amazing talent for this. I'd be proud to have any of your guitars in my collection. You inspire me to try your techniques on my builds.

[@anointed01]

Awesome!!! I'd love to see the final product!!!

[@RattlecanGuitarRestorations]

Amazing. Love watching these come to life.

[@Dudldom]

It almost looks like a landscape painting. Amazing.

[@Soloist1983]

This blew my mind, I did NOT think that top was going to turn out to be one of the nicest I've ever seen. The contrast you got on that is on its own orbit, wow!

[@almix1952]

OUTSTANDING!! You Sir are an artist!

[@GurnBograt1986]

Wow! Big D you do really beautiful work!!!

[@Mudshark6412]

Beautiful! Nice work!

[@mrmanch204]

Thank you for sharing you knowledge, now all i need is your skills.That piece of timber really deserved your work. Brilliant.

[@mladenvidic7905]

Probably one of the best looking stains . The natural wood pattern around the pickups is crazy cool

[@jonq8714]

So helpful to watch this process man, thanks a lot for doing this.

[@ejoey64]

Unbelievable! Great arts!

[@andersongmusic6413]

Wow, absolutely beautiful!

[@jonpaulison2283]

Beautiful work

[@rtroiani]

I watch all your videos and I think this is still your best finish. Can't wait to try it on a burl top I have on the bench!

[@merlinsmonkey2001]

Absolutely Brilliant! So gorgeous it would like a honor to own such a beautiful guitar! Excellent job Sir.

[@skeembot]

That my friend is beautiful work! Stay blessed from the UK!

[@MyJK86]

Please, please, please show us more of the end result! A dried, buffed and finished piece!

[@DominicMLuciano]

I'm absolutely in love with this top. Oh my God...

[@tikka3030]

This looks so awesome.

[@scottminchk7234]

Wow, that's beautiful!!!

[@firefoxhits]

Beautiful work!!

[@jayelliott1883]

It is incredible how you make such nice work seem so attainable for average mortals.

[@ski5150]

jay elliott Right Jay?!! I said the same thing! “Wow, maybe I can do this!” (Of course I’ll botch it up)

[@4estGimp]

I have yet to try it, but love the idea of sanding back and trying again if the results arn't quite right.

[@yat21]

The final result awes me!

[@7pines77]

Wow that thing looks awesome

[@manueladrianmontielacosta9716]

Hi, Friend!!! I like so much your work!!! Congrats Regards from Mexico City

[@FtnHills38]

Absolutely Stunning!

[@NeilRobertTurner]

Absolutely fantastic !

[@7REDDRACO7]

beautiful work , excellence.

[@double__dash__]

great flow, love the fast forwards, i didn't feel the need to skip ahead at all =)

[@IamtheActionman]

Wow What a beauty Nice job

[@pp63100]

I liked how it looked with just the yellow, after the 1st sanding. Reminded me of the surface of the moon.

[@timpate7340]

thanks for sharing this ive got a burl maple top tele im gonna do the same thing with. you do some incredible work.

[@the-LeoKnightus]

That looks sooo nice. You made my mind up for me to do a burleye cap on my next guitar.

[@jazzydog]

Looks so awesome man!.

[@Oshia666]

Fantastic, I'm gonna have to give this a shot.

[@qqartq]

what a crazy figure! Nice job!!

[@manbearpig2164]

That might be the most beautiful guitar I've seen

[@ski5150]

Oh my... Dude, that was f*ckin amazing. Thanks for this vid. I’m s hobbyist, and you really piqued my interest in trying this type of work. Absolutely beautiful! It came to life right before my eyes..

[@mariorojas3724]

Man!!!! You're AMAZING!!!!!

[@JohnDoe-fj4mq]

That looks great really cool

[@iamzelix7165]

Thanks for this video. That is incredible work. I want to try this when I get my first build finished.

[@bigdguitars]

thanks!

[@adamkemmerer4520]

@@bigdguitars Love this video as well as all your other ones. I have a well figured maple cap Tele body that I want to do a similar finish on. Have a couple questions about the sanding process . Are you using a variable speed sander and if so how fast do you set it at? And also how much pressure are you applying? Thanks

[@scrawfordmusic]

As soon as you sanded back the brown and cleaned it off...man, I'd be happy with that! But then the yellow really brings it home...Great work, man. Learning a lot from watching these!

[@captvemo3380]

thank you look forward to it by the way that's a beautiful finish on that guitar

[@jeromestevenfaigin6059]

Is it me? Do you ever think once, you've gone to far? I'm doing a burst and I'm thinking I went to far, that's why I bought a laminated ES 175 China body (my first) and I think if it doesn't work? So far it looks angry. An Angrybirst like I waited 50 yrs of playng and I'm making my first hollowbody and I'm making my first hollowbody electric an Angryburst. My electronic's same and different. I was raised in a TV repair shop that my father owned an operated over my first 20 years and 50 yrs of playing and learning, but I never thought of building some guitars until my first hardbody was dying. I was built by al professional nass maker. So then I made one. And like it. And now I'm making another but liter and my love with wood is weird, but the look of grade 5A flame to scallop is mesmerizing! Today I split a cord of an Olive Tree and the Nation's Revere honor natural wood of Israel. It's taking me 5 year to break this piece of a log and I still need to split a 2nd board really another log like the 1st!

[@_grateful_zen_4515]

WOW!!!! Look at that grain, unbelievable!!! Good job man.

[@bigdguitars]

one of the best piece of wood I have ever found.

[@_grateful_zen_4515]

I'd say man, did you think it was going to turn out like that?

[@boxerfencer]

That's beautiful!

[@stevewhitesell6498]

Finish turned out beautiful. I wish I had this tutorial 20 years ago when I used to build parts guitars. Would have saved much frustration and re-work. 👍

[@bigdguitars]

Thanks!!

[@eliseoalejos1865]

That is one gorgeous top...great technique....

[@stevenedwards4470]

That finish is truly beautiful That little blurp at the top of the control cavity keeps drawing my eye tho

[@alyusdickey6383]

This guy is awesome at what he does!

[@bigdguitars]

Thanks!

[@electromagneticlive]

NICE WORK !!!

[@johnsguitarmusicanddemos]

Man! I do hardwood flooring (creating the samples) and I love this work you do. Similar to what I'm doing. You have a lot of talent & I hope you know you're gifted!

[@freedommatters9596]

Stunning!

[@beachgum1001]

That is the Sweets ONE Yet I Love It

[@lauriedepaurie]

That would've made the coolest la cabronita ever. Some TV's in there, a roasted flame maple neck on it. Wow, as always great work. I'm a big fan!

[@kyatzz]

You thought this top wasn't so great? It looks amazing, such unusual figuring.

[@senorwall1109]

Gorgeous

[@frankperricone2065]

Those Japanese Fenders are so clean looking and for a Telecaster that guitar is a rock machine. Got to compliment you on your playing, can't beat playing a little old school Aerosmith,nice job.

[@JgHaverty]

Mother of god... thats outstanding!!!

[@todtiger]

beautiful

[@Yahoomediaclub]

Awesome job..thanks

[@FF-so3su]

Stunning👍🙂

[@raytristani]

This is really awesome. I am looking to I corporate these techniques on my maple classical guitars. This would look KILLER on quilted maple

[@jobereve9956]

Man!! This grain! My dream guitar now. Haha

[@kayciecarryl3366]

Gold hardware will look EXCELLENT with that top!

[@aquaristaBSB]

great job

[@bigdguitars]

thanks!

[@ursafan40]

I don't know if I'd install hardware and play it, or hang it on the wall as is. That's a work of art. Mother nature and BIGD both get half the credit.

[@igorpak6941]

F...king AWESOME!

[@moosey62]

Thanks so much.

[@guillermodelnoche]

You sound like Christopher Walken... gorgeous guitar! Very entertaining and nice work.

[@rihamy2nd]

guillermodelnoche Your comment needs more cowbell.

[@TheTerrapinchris]

That is fucking gorgeous! I thought it was waaaaaay to dark w/ 1st coat and figured you were going to sand it- inspiring- just getting into dying -and trying to do enough research to do it right - thx fer sharin! I didn’t get this good instruction at Luthier school!!!! Serious

[@jeffbeck6501]

[@decomputerleraarable]

This wood ie to die for... Rob

[@tucanman9775]
