Fantastic build. Well done

[@diyguitarsandmore4538]

Many thanks.

[@alanblott4559]

Great looking piece of work. Thank you for sharing. I have admiration for the skills people show in their building of great guitars. Well done. I hope it is a joy to you.

[@diyguitarsandmore4538]

Many, many thanks Alan. I'm happy you enjoyed my video. Have you seen the one related to the Telecaster making in my channel? That's my favourite guitar. See you!

[@alanblott4559]

Not yet. But I'll give it a go.

[@stewsim]

Very nice outcome! But…did you put the Gibson logo and crown inlays on it…?!?

[@zenmaestro04]

Looks great! would love to hear how it sounds

[@user-it4rl9ns6v]

It's very good!

[@edwardpowellinstruments6776]

Thanks... Great work!

[@TheWind213]

Wow, what I enjoy most is watching the person create a gorgeous guitar with all the intricate steps they did, well I seen the steps. What I didn't see is the person perform the steps, I did see a person in total about one minute. Could he be the person that created this beautiful guitar? I don't know because I didn't see him make this guitar, so thanks for showing me a guitar be built by an invisible person.

[@morfina3027]

Great Work! Please, please, please! Buid a Gibson SG Diablo 2008! Love ya work

[@GerasimosHandmadeGuitars]

Well well done sir!!!!

[@diyguitarsandmore4538]

Many thanks Mr Batas.

[@eddyj3862]

Absolutely fabulous job!!!! What Genesis album is the sound track from?

[@smkh2890]

I have known SG copies, but the original Gibson SG has some strange magic that isn't explained by that collection of wood and metal.

[@krystianonicolai]

Bellissima, molto bravo.

[@domenicopagnutti867]

Complimenti

[@HahnRJ]

what finish did you use for the body and neck

[@darklink594]

Dude you could of resaw that board for the body and make like 3 of them lol awesome job though!

[@holdenharvey783]

I think I’m gonna try to build an sg I just hate all the drilling on the inside way more complicated then a strat or tele

[@launches.loops.and.lapbars]

Very nice but why would you put a gibson logo on the headstock?!

[@markdalton6662]

Now i hear peter

[@salth2ofish209]

Good job! Looks great. How did you create the holes for wiring from the pickups to the controls?

[@diyguitarsandmore4538]

Hi Sal, To make the wiring hole I used a long drill bit called "Auger". You can easily find some pics of it on the net. It is a very delicate operation because there is long path to do compared to the thin thickness of the body. Better if you have a big press drill equiped with a good clamping system for the body. Bye and thanks for watching.

[@CaptainFantastic222]

Where did you get your templates?

[@rajkokrvavac5773]

bravo. Pozz iz Srbije

[@rolandeschain]

Great job! Really inspirational, and puré gold of the sound track, genesis firth of fifth and does the is Le Orme?

[@diyguitarsandmore4538]

Many thanks. Yes, Le Orme is a Progressive italian music group and the title song is "Sguardo verso il cielo".

[@rolandeschain]

Thanks a lot Darío, I really didn't recall the name of many Le Orme songs, and your video brought to me great memories. Cheers, from México.

[@Deshley_]

you could have cut it in half vertically from the side and maybe have had enough for 2 guitars, kind of a wast of wood there. for the rest great build

[@diyguitarsandmore4538]

Hi Roblox, I measured the wood thickness before starting to work and unfortunally there wasn't matter enough for two bodies. I thought to cut it in any case and save the wood for a future project but I also had the problem that the carpenter close to my home was closed and I haven't a big saw ... anyway I'm happy if the clip will be usefull. Many many thanks for watching.

[@bijikopiofficial]

Hallo.. want you help me. I want to build my own SG epiphone guitar. Want you share to me size of the body SG guitar. Bcause i'm not found it on internet. And i have not to much money to buy the template. Because i'm not a rich person. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@mr.e8432]

Great job, but why wouldn’t you bandsaw the slab to the correct thickness before glue up? That’s a lot of wasted mahogany!

[@that1deepvoicedkid196]

Only problem with that kind of guitar is the neck dive

[@markdalton6662]

This sounds like a song written by Peter Gabriel and sung by phil collins , could it be

[@camilo1455]

Beautiful guitar, but I have to ask, why not a mahogany neck?

[@diyguitarsandmore4538]

Hi Camilo. Just an experiment to understand if it is true that a maple neck makes the sound brighter than one made of mahogany. Unfortunally I still don't have an answer because I don't have a second guitar with mahogany neck to compare! I'll make another one ... bye!

[@austinrrhodes]

could you post the dimensions, or a blueprint somewhere?

[@csupornbymartoncsupor1911]

May I ask you to share the painting? :) I have an old copy made from good materials and I want to repair it. :)

[@dario10756]

Hi, Mr Marton. To paint the guitar body I used a filler and I sanded the surfaces until they were smoot like a plank of glass. Then I applied a little bit of walnut brown aniline color just to break the natural red of the mahogany. After that I simply sprayed 4 or 5 coats of matte transparent nitro varnish. Concerning the maple neck I colored it by red, brown and a hint of yellow aniline mixed for reaching a close color as the body and then the same 5 coats of matte transparent nitro varnish. To spray the paint I used a high quality of spray tin can varnish for coachbuilders. I hope I have been clear and I apologize for my really poor english. Have a fun D.I.Y. and greetings fro Italy!

[@FeistyLeviathan666]

Please don't tell me you put a Gibson logo on it...

[@reyjm100]

Hi, where can I find the template?

[@CaptainFantastic222]

Where you able to find a good one? I’ve been struggling with finding drawings I can print out

[@reyjm100]

@@CaptainFantastic222 I downloaded some from internet, but isn't the best

[@tractorass]

"Keyboard?"

[@diyguitarsandmore4538]

I'm sorry! You're right ... I confused the english word keyboard with fingerboard ... The problem is that in italian language keyboard and fingerboard are translated by a unique word wich is: tastiera.

[@agusspedernera5044]

Muy lindo trabajo final, pero muchísimo desperdicio innecesario de material ☹️

[@looneytunes47]

Fifth of Firth

[@ensignofindustry1033]

There's got to be an easier and less wasteful way than just chiseling the body, no?

[@Daizenzetsu]

You could just buy thinner wood, but if your blank is that thick, you'll most likely have to waste all of that. When it comes to thicknessing it though, you can use a router suspended over it with a gliding table type thing, or you can use a fence on a band saw to saw down to a line roughly, then sand or hand plane to the line.

[@mrmalcolmone]

You built it upside down! Guitarist don't play left handed! Left-handed people don't play guitar! They play 1st. Base!
