Thank you for this I'm building a couple out of Pine and I love working with it

[@MichaelLagerstedt]

Thanks so much 🙏 I agree - pine (especially old) is great 👍🏼😃

[@manolo4217]

i love it, i feel like It has those 60s vibes that make it beautiful

[@MichaelLagerstedt]

Thanks Frederico 😀👍🏼

Looks stunning! I have a spruce body partscaster, and i like it so much. But the finsih is so fragile(nitro thin paint), and the wood is soft, so the dings & scratches appearing very fast and easy, it will get that relic look very soon. Do you have the same problem? Pine is about the same softnes as spruce.

[@MichaelLagerstedt]

Thanks so much for watching and for your comment. Yes pine is a relatively soft wood but I’m not really concerned with scratching or dinging it so I haven’t thought that much about it. Also, the wood I’m using is at least 215 years old meaning it was chopped down 215 years ago so it’s not as soft as the pine you can buy today. Maybe that’s a factor too 👍😉

This is the best guitar build vid I've ever seen. I recently "built' ie put together 😆, a kit guitar from Harley Benton but seeing this make me think I could do it from scratch. Very inspiring. 👌

[@MichaelLagerstedt]

Hey Bob Thanks so much for the kind words 🙏. I didn’t really build it from all scratch though. I bought the neck - didn’t really feel like doing that from scratch. Thanks so much for watching , really appreciate it 😃👍🏼

[@rwlane]

@@MichaelLagerstedt true. I won't say anything if you don't..? 😆👌

[@Birbdup]

This was so soothing to watch. I'll do this one day! Gold foils + Novo inspired? Great taste.

[@MichaelLagerstedt]

Thanks Evan. I have to say it was also rather soothing to make 😁... I can highly recommend this process 😉👍🏼

[@zackbaron2777]

Do you happen to have the plans for that painting jig?

[@MichaelLagerstedt]

Hi zack, sorry no, that was just a few pieces of scrap wood with a hole in one end. I have a bad habit of collecting wood and sometimes, not often, but sometimes it comes in handy 👍😉 Hey thanks so much for watching though 😃🙏🏻

[@zackbaron2777]

@@MichaelLagerstedt I have the same bad habit 😄

[@mariannelagerstedt2756]

Great 👍😀

[@kmatax9237]

Great job! Where did you get the plans for this body? It looks like the novo guitars. Can I find them to make templates for myself?

[@MichaelLagerstedt]

+Krzysztof Matachowski Hi Well I briefly describe it in episode 1 ... I just downloaded a picture of a Novo Serus J and printed it out in the right size. I knew exactly how big a p90 pickup is so that’s how I determined the right size of the print. Then I made the template myself. I actually made several before I was satisfied. Thanks for watching... really appreciate it 😉👍🏼

[@kmatax9237]

@@MichaelLagerstedt do you have a copy of the file you used to print the final body? can u email it to me please?

[@Farmer_Jack]

Looks fantastic! Would you share the drawing with others who would like to do a similar build!?

[@srenchristensen5047]

Hej Michael. Hvor mange timer har det taget dig i alt? Flot resultat

[@MichaelLagerstedt]

Hej Søren Det er rigtig svært at sige. Jeg har gået og hygget mig med at lave den hen over sommeren. Meget tid er også gået med research og forskellige forsøg. Men 80-100 timer måske 😅 Tak fordi du kigger med 👍🏼😉

[@TempleOfTheMartyrs]

how much would you sell it for?

[@MichaelLagerstedt]

I think I would regret it if I sold it but if I should I would consider these prices: Lollar gold foil pu: 430$ Mastery vibrato: 430$ Guitar anatomy neck: 150$ Body wood: unattainable 200 years old pine. 2500$ maybe 🤔 Hey, thanks so much for watching 😃🙏🏻

[@chesneytube1]

I don't think you and I mean the same thing by 'no experience'.

[@MichaelLagerstedt]

😂… well it’s my first guitar build Thanks so much for watching 🙏😃

[@chesneytube1]

@@MichaelLagerstedt haha you’re obviously very experienced otherwise. If I tried to build a guitar you’d see the true meaning of no experience 😂
