I Built a Modern Tele Tremolo Guitar (Full Build & Demo)

[@rafael.r.soriano.music2023]

You are AMAZING of building this guitar...you have talent! Excellent job, my friend! This is definitely a true masterpiece! Keep up the great work!

[@Habalahab]

The increasing noise sound effect, the perfect representation of the silent anger building up. Love it!

[@nekonpan]

Bro, I like the way you show the struggle of building a guitar. We all human. We make mistakes. Keep the great job.

[@adamcone6856]

Bro, your editing had me rolling! Choir singing on the trem peg removal was hilarious. Beautiful build!

[@titmusspaultpaul5]

Same. He's great at filming and editing. He builds a stunning guitar, and is a wizard at playing the guitar as well.... triple threat guy.

[@oliver9089]

It was like jesus rising from the dead. But it was just a threaded insert rising from a crooked hole 😂

[@milesdelghingaro3248]

might be one of the most beautiful guitars i've ever seen

[@DreidMusicalX]

I really enjoyed watching your craft at work. I was not expecting what I seen. Awesome job!

[@stevebeaudoin7234]

I don't know where you learned how to make guitars but you are gifted my friend. I could watch your video a 1000 times and still not catch everything

[@DUY1337GUITAR]

I learn from videos like these. I had to cut 95% of footage from 450 video clips. So much left out!

[@upsetsharky6383]

​@@DUY1337GUITARis there anything you would recommend or advise to someone getting into guitar making?

[@jeffallen3382]

Great build videos! Thank you for not adding over bearing annoying background music while showing us the true life of building a guitar. Mistakes and all!

[@drewx10]

Every choice on this build was so cool, even the mistakes that were resolved. The way the grain popped when you did the finish made me go "Oh!" (in a good way). That dark (almost black) finish looked like vinegar and steel wool. Your use of hand tools shows a great dedication to the craft, and I know those are challenging.

[@rmax5150]

New subscriber here. Amazing craftsmanship doesn't even come close to a proper description of this build! Looking forward to viewing all of your videos. Thanks for putting this one out there! I LOVE THAT GUITAR!

[@hyramjackson]

Damn bro! Didnt expected such a good playing! most builders have ok skills but you do it justice! Cheers from Mexico

[@TheArchetypeGaia]

Amazing build! Love the editing and the fact that you kept some of the mistakes in.

[@EduardoAmaroP]

The anger thing was just hilarious!! Great and beautiful build!

[@aeynghus]

Thanks for labeling the dog, I was wondering what that was! 😃 Beautiful wood one this one. Very nice job.

[@spiccolirocks3580]

I've always wanted a tele with a floyd. Now seeing this I think it will be one of my winter projects. I already have some ideas, not quite as elaborate as yours but still really cool! What a fantastic build! Your choice of woods and Gotoh parts... The video, showing all the individual steps was excellent! That's a beautiful guitar my friend and your craftsmanship top notch! 👍🏻

[@titmusspaultpaul5]

Stunning work. I just love everything about this guitar. Very well done.

[@Skuidel]

Love the humor in this video haha. Great work man!

[@AA-lj6dp]

Wow, this guitar build is amazing! The way you’ve put everything together is truly impressive. From the choice of materials to the precision in the design, everything looks top-notch. I can tell a lot of care and skill went into this-definitely one of the coolest builds I've seen. Keep up the great work!

[@dedompler]

these edits are wonderful. thank you for sharing your love of making lots and lots of dust 💚

[@WrenB111]

Master craftsman. Phenomenal workmanship throughout! Rare skills in modern life

[@drethedead]

wow. what a cool build. I love the sound editing during the messups

[@jaythompson9565]

I'm 80 and eat up with arthritis, so can't do much. Built a few kits . So I kinda know what a real pro does, you are a real pro. Great work, beautiful project.

[@ImThe5thKing]

Planing the entirety of the body by hand is serious commitment lol respect

[@MuAlexJS]

the tone at the end was perfectly crispy

[@stevenbodo965]

That top is striking. Great work on both the build and the video.

[@SB-mb8fx]

Man this is awesome craftsmenship. Those Steel-Planes are sick

[@FineArtbyAldo]

I just stumbled across your video, great guitar! I enjoyed watching your building process and video editing as well! The guitar not only looks great but sounds awesome as well!

[@merdovamusic]

Just wow man. This thing is an absolute BEAST! Your wood crafting skills are remarkable as is the final product of your efforts. This axe belongs in a museum.

[@mle2433]

Absolutely stunning! Impressive construction. It is pure art!!!. Congrats!

[@SplyBox]

You built a damn fine guitar, love the building rage edits here and there

[@anthonystoval9267]

Absolutely phenomenal build man. I wish I had all those tools! You take a lot of pride in whatt you do. Always a pleasure to watch 😎🤘.

[@blackwaterpark011]

One of the most beautiful builds I have ever seen.

[@GodSpeedGato]

Such a rad and beautiful piece! the Anger bits had me rolling LOL

[@ploutone.guitar]

Killer work Duy! It's awesome to watch you build these guitars. Keep em coming!

Love your techniques. finished product looks and sounds amazing.

[@josepheucolono]

Lotta work lotta sweat lotta joy good job look forward to your next one

[@DUY1337GUITAR]

Next video will be in a month or so

[@SimonCustomGuitars]

Stunning build. Thanks for sharing. Your finishing work is next level. Makes me want to try staining and spraying! ATM I just do oil finishes.

[@D_Morse]

Nice job on making a blended concept your own! Looks and sounds great.

[@StephenLight-oc3tl]

What an absolutely beautiful instrument. Excellent work.

[@RicardoRivera-rv2me]

Great job!!, I love how you use 3D printed pieces. I am building my own instruments and I print in 3D templates for cavities, nuts, knobs, even I have printed a radio sander device and it works perfectly. Your guitar looks amazing, thanks for the video.

[@Tafaqum]

Bro, your work is Fn awesome! Amazing video.

[@TheFacelessOne87]

I was laughing out loud watching the ordeal with the magnets and switching to good ol' screws. Great to see the struggles and the bad and ugly. Nevertheless, the end result is beautiful!

[@DUY1337GUITAR]

I'm still mad about the magnets!

[@JayPoe80]

Wow! Love seeing super capable people build things. When are you getting a small cnc?!?!?! I haven't built a guitar from scratch yet and probably should do it before going cnc but my head is aching, soul is hungry, to build a guitar with a cnc. And yes, Lee Nielsen is most definitely worth the investment! Good show, man!

[@DUY1337GUITAR]

I really want a CNC, but I convinced myself I'd have to go for an Avid machine. Buy once, cry once 😅. I agree though, best to build from scratch first before building with CNC.

[@JayPoe80]

@ I’ve been looking at shop saber for my cabinetry business but I kind of just want a table top machine for fun work instead of processing panels. By the time I’m into 4x8 or 5x10 with ATC and vacuum table, cost is more than I want to drop at the moment. Maybe a used desktop shopbot. I have seen those smaller Laguna/Powermatics used for a fair price. I’ve also considers building my own but haven’t calculated the cost savings over buying a used machine. Anywho, you’re clearly super capable dude. It’s awesome to watch!

[@DUY1337GUITAR]

@@JayPoe80 I even considered the Shaper Origin to cut templates and intricate inlays while saving space, but it's so overpriced 😂

[@JayPoe80]

@@DUY1337GUITAR at 1900 for reconditioned it might be worth it. I never really had an interest in the shaper origin till recently. Was a guy from New Jersey, forget his name, on KZbin and he made really good use of it. Think I’ll hold out for a desktop 2x3. $5-6k gets a decent used non ATC machine. Resharpen my cnc skill on that for a while. It been a while since I’ve done cnc work. I miss it. Cool seeing you use 3D printed templates. Do you use fusion 360 for design?

[@DUY1337GUITAR]

@@JayPoe80 yep! Fusion 360 for dealing with all my designs

[@KjellBerg81]

That turned out to be a really beautiful guitar. Keep up the amazing work

[@TheNino37]

Just exquisite design and craftsmanship! Well done!

[@MichaelKennedy-e3x]

Bro you have some madd skills!!! Absolutely beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing!!😍🤟🙏

[@TopJazzCat]

That's disgustingly dope. Respect to you, man.

[@excusemeIhaveapinkbeard]

Immediately subscribed, excellent work, and amazing editing work.

[@Templar7832]

Nice build bud! I am very jealous of all your tools you have some very nice stuff!

[@Mr.DE4THLESS]

The edit, the takes, the result! Everything it's on point! What a incredible tutorial to start my first build! Can you please share the plans with me? I have my own design for the headstock and the body shape, but everything else (pickups position, bridge, scale, etc) are the same, so it's important to not screw things in the process lol I would like to share the process with you... I hope this petition doesn't bother you... Greetings from Colombia!

[@mojoriley4712]

I find watching Guitar Builds to be very therapeutic which is why the anger bit cracks me up🤣

[@Sniper_Cat_71]

That is the only Tele style guitar I'd ever want to own, it's gorgeous!

[@Krullmatic]

I like that you left the mistakes in!

[@justAnOldDudeChillin]

"Dog" That hooked me. The final product is furniture. Its absolutely gorgeous and has great tone. Id love to play it....

[@karmad3269]

Beautiful...I wonder why there aren't major brands doin such aggressive style tellies❤

[@gonoszmano666]

Oooooooo fck, it is simply beautiful! 😲 Amazing build, I wish I have it one time! :) 🥺👏

[@jibeji]

Wow! I am speechless!

[@jaxaishi]

Im ngl if i wasnt poor id definetely buy one of these from you. Sick asf man keep it up

[@FastRedPonyCar]

Amazing build man! I'm a huge sucker for super teles (Despite not actually owning one LOL.. eventually I'll find a old ESP neck through tele like Devin Townsend used to play) I'd have 100% done a monkey claw on the back of the trem route to reveal the wood layers. Also, black miniature poodle crew checking in. We're on poodle team #2 now.

[@kenjikodai]

That finish is great, makes me wanna have a telecaster

[@joseluisorellano69]

I was covering my eyes at 9:27!!!!!

I'd be proud to play that at my next gig!

WOW! That is beautiful! Although, when you got to the staining, it would have been nice to add some colour.

[@Tim_Duran]

Man, that wood... 😍😍

[@HearGear]

You are a true craftsman, using the old way of doing thins like planing a body blank with a hand planer, I have a question for you, what brands are your handplaners ? I am looking in to buying a couple of new ones soon.. thank you.

[@DUY1337GUITAR]

I own Lie Nielsen, Lee Valley, and Wood River. I did not like my Wood River, but the other brands were on backorder at the time. I recommend going for Lie Nielsen if you can. You can always sell it and recover a lot of the cost.

[@НикитаКолмаков-с9ъ]

Swapping magnets to screws was like "nah, too many sweats". And WHY ARE YOU KILLED LITTLE MAGNET HE DID NOT DESERVED IT

[@DUY1337GUITAR]

The magnet hurt my feelings

[@Mojojojoe]

Glad you shared your stress with us

[@RsSquier51]

Beautiful and badass.

[@humbertholzmann674]

Absolutely stunning!! what about the new screw system in the tremolo cavity? It come with the bridge itself?

[@DUY1337GUITAR]

The original trem claw came with the tremolo. The new one is the Schaller Sure Claw which I bought separately.

[@juelsguitars]

Echt hübsche Gitarre 🤘. Tolle Ideen für werkzeug 🤘. Eine Idee bevor du die Grundplatte für den body Klebst. Trenne das ab an der Bandsäge was du in 1:24min mit dem Hobel machst. Aus den Abschnitten kann man für eine andere Gitarre ein top machen 😉. Ich bin ein Freund davon soviel wie möglich Holz wieder zu verwenden. Weil es teilweise auch echt teuer ist.

[@DUY1337GUITAR]

I will try that when I get a bigger band saw!

[@juelsguitars]

​Where can I get the print file for the pickup stencils? World class idea🎉👏 ​@@DUY1337GUITAR

[@Steve-s4b]

As soon as I saw the book matched burl top I was in it till the end. It's really funny how we as humans are obsessed with how beautiful tree tumors are.

[@DUY1337GUITAR]

they're tumors?!?!

[@Steve-s4b]

@@DUY1337GUITAR Yep! The tree gets disease, damage or environmental stress in some way and tries to wall the damaged section off from the rest of the tree, resulting in burl.

[@DUY1337GUITAR]

@@Steve-s4b well that's hardcore

[@Furiora]

@@Steve-s4b Not meaning to be picky, but that doesn't fit the definition of a tumour, which is uncontrolled cell growth while avoiding programmed cell death. Granted one of those "deseases" a tree could get that creates burl could be a tumour. Unless the definition is different in trees, in which case, I'd be happy to be proven wrong. Still pretty hardcore though. I'm sure there's a deeper message to be had about being beautiful despite your wounds in there somewhere.

[@rickiedeesnutz7318]

Absolutely amazing

[@markdalton6662]

Great build , I would love too own one of your guitar's .

[@SWatchik]

Such a spectacular build and great video! is it as satisfying as it looks when its finished or do you always feel like you want to tweak something or wish you did something different?

[@DUY1337GUITAR]

There's always going to be some details I wish I did differently, but it definitely ended up better than I expected.
