I Built a Tim Henson Guitar

Fretboard inlay took me almost a month to finish, I only use small hand tools and a magnifying goggles to make them. The Guitar body took me 3 months to make, and 1 week of practicing #playinggod by #polyphia at the same time editing this video.
I was inspired by #timhenson 's music and made this guitar as a tribute to his great music, skill and talent. I hope you all like it, I gave my all producing the special guitar and this video.

beautiful video!

[@GitaraMaker]

It's an honor to see you here. Thanks for inspiring this video. ❤️

[@isshwor]

Tim replied, that's actually crazy

[@seanorz1920]

That’s crazy imagine if he could play it😫

[@rkpragyajitsingh3074]

​@@seanorz1920yeah i want him to play it

[@julysaurus]

Ternyata kita telah menonton video yang sama

[@bazwillrun]

Thats not guitar building...Thats Art !...The filming the music, everything just perfect

[@user-ir9op1vj9m]

I love how meticulous this is. I have just done a few hand too restorations to start off and I'm the same way. Its a shame I don't see this more often.

[@wordonthestreetministries6241]

It's both art and craft 🥰

[@k.k.3471]

Very nice work, very nicely sounds. Hi from France.

[@deadosaka1712]

the two aren't mutually exclusive, guitar building IS art.

[@thaurr8619]

The music is too much

[@ryanriggs9963]

Never seen someone put a sanding disc on a drill press, absolutely genius

[@badscrew4023]

Yeah, stealing this tip immediately. I was using a Safe-T-Planer for that but they're a pain to keep sharp

[@tammymorningstar4794]

That is a sneaky trick. Stolen. Tam's other half

[@mikehamelin7520]

thought that was very clever too

[@Glen-xz8wh]

Had the same thought....I was lucky to have found this video.... GORGEOUS WORK...

[@bigtalltim]

Came here to type the exact same thing! Genius - new sub here!!

[@schitzyoubreed4963]

No fancy background music. No annoying voice over.. just art

[@pennywise4843]

I am in awe of your skill, passion and talent. What an incredible guitar. This embodies craftsmanship.

[@GitaraMaker]

Thank you!

[@Huron_Ra]

I have a new appreciation for the amount of work that's gone into making a guitar.

[@tomstegall1346]

Could not stop watching, absolutely amazing build. Keep on keeping on . Righteous!

[@GitaraMaker]

Thank you! I'm glad that you liked it. Will soon upload a new one.

[@MashaT22]

This is an amazing build. I’ve played the TOD10n. I love that it honors the real deal while still retaining some of your own creative choices. I also really like the natural unpainted top. The inlays are pretty spot on to my eye. You even added some binding and a heel cap like the TOD10n - I really like the look of yours with wood binding. Have you tagged Tim Henson? I bet he’d get a kick out of your work! #TimHenson #Polyphia

[@aydenmcfly1362]

The binding made me go 😯 , ooooo what a classy fellow

[@jonathanyun7817]

Incredible build! I wasn't expecting to be nearly as mesmerized as I was by your intricate handiwork, framing and composition, and the sheer amount of detailed planning necessary to pull everything together. Bravo!!!

[@GitaraMaker]

Thank you!

[@pedrokd5439]

The secret of reproducing many guitars is making precise jigs for bending and glueing up. Makes construction a joy. 😊

[@PhrostMotion]

You are ridiculously talented. The tools and jigs, the techniques, the way you are combining things to make it work for you. Just Excellent!!

[@GitaraMaker]

Thank you!

[@ibrahimismail5625]

and he can play guitar too!

[@Overgis4058]

This is probably my fourth or fifth time watching this video and every time I do, I'm impressed again and again by the level of craftsmanship.

[@Velereonics]

the first song in the background is fantastic. what a mood

[@etulleervinjade5089]

That's not a guitar, that's a masterpiece 🔥🔥🔥

[@yell8w403]

Your right it does look like a piano 🤔

[@indigokid24]

Man, I would love to be able to do that. Imagine wanting a guitar and instead of buying it you just make it yourself! Living the dream

[@scottturcotte1860]

That was quite satisfying to watch! 👍😊👍

[@culeacosmin5650]

Simply amazing! I play the Tim Hanson Ibanez every day now. I dont realise how much work, time and sweat it takes to produce this guitar! Keep up your guitar work! 👍😊🎸

[@justcallmed933]

Oh, I love guitars in natural colour so much better, wonderful build!

[@valariecollins2278]

Wow! Absolutely beautiful,I love the natural wood.

[@BadHorsie2]

A little binding around the sound hole would have been cool. Awesome build!!

[@hudaif1451]

Bruh! I've been waiting for this for a looong time ,when you told me that its in work i keep coming back to you'r channel many times to see if you uplaoded it yet

[@GitaraMaker]

It's one of the most challenging guitar that I built, the inlay took me a month to make. I remember our conversation back then, that's why I have to keep my promise. Thank you for your patience!

[@Aresmusic.official]

The beautiful build and a beautiful playing! The unplugged version was more catchy imho. Well done mate!

[@GitaraMaker]

Thank you!

[@samouellette5130]

I love having access to videos like this where I can just see a master at work Something I have very little knowledge on myself that I can just immerse myself in and appreciate the craftsmanship I don’t build guitars I just play them Beautiful work

[@anishpillai396]

cant imagine the amount of time, hardwork and splinters this man had to go through

[@mellove3347]

What a beauty !!! That level of craftsmanship is just extraordinary!

[@HikingFeral]

The strength of simple wood glue never ceases to amaze me. Beautiful work!

[@ShredPile]

What a journey on a Sunday morning! Thank you so much for all the effort and time that went into this production. Increible!

[@koka5491]

I've been waiting for somebody to build it for so long. Incredible skills and talent. Great video and the guitar is even better!

[@marlonnascimento3966]

Obra de arte aí. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@karemare6426]

This is beautiful. To see this process captured like this, with these angles, with its natural sound, and the background music. It's just perfect. Thank you, sir, you brought some real joy to my day.

[@ted9876]

Beautiful work, at the same time of art, detail and precision. Congratulations on the complete video, showing the beauty of building a musical instrument with unique characteristics. And in the end, the beautiful sound, the result and goal of all the careful work.

[@adamcone6856]

Absolutely wonderful to see. You have great luthiery skills. I started my first electric guitar build very recently, which is a Telecaster. This is on my to do list in the future. Excellent music choices for us to hear while watching. I am now subscribed! Thanks for the video!

[@EricDandoy]

Amazing work, thanks for sharing!

[@greggesaman535]

Beautiful production and build. It’s wonderful to see a true craftsman at work.

[@LOVE2Flute]

Mesmerizing to witness. I love the true natural song she sings unplugged. Thank you for sharing your gift.

[@Kittypeony]

Amazing I enjoyed every second of this !!! the unplugged and plugged sound are so beautiful ❤❤ and I prefer the unplugged more 😍😍

[@orionthehunter9107]

That is art. Nicely done. Beautiful workmanship.

[@lehry100]

Astounding! What a masterpiece, you are art itself sir big respect *hats off* it's so soothing that made me sleep the first time I watched it. But when I woke up I immediately watched again til the end.

[@angelalonso9087]

My man, this was incredible! I pray to have a skill like you one day.

[@liontribegc]

Wowzers!! Amazing build! Great video! Cheers from Texas! 🤘😺🤘 Michael

[@Valtanen-music]

Outstanding video.

[@GitaraMaker]

Thank you!

[@Gaukler81]

Wow! That's fantastic... Good work my friend. Enjoy your guitar for all times...best wishes

[@guitarzleo]

Amazing build! Great detail and mostly done with handtools... I love the simple jigs and hacks you used instead of sophisticated tools. Very beautiful guitar! Nice sounding too!

[@GitaraMaker]

Thank you!

[@primitiveT]

Absolutely awesome! You must be so proud! I would be!

[@LeeBailes]

Loved the editing / stop motion look to the timelapse. Great workmanship too

[@GitaraMaker]

Thank you!

[@tintan9269]

Ang lupet! Wala ako masabe 👏

[@darkZero683]

This is just incredible!!

[@KC_moto]

Some seriously nice work! Very impressive, and sounds wonderful unplugged.

[@vincentdain9233]

it's kinda weird that this guitar sounds so good unplugged while the original Ibanez TOD10n sounds really bad unplugged (even Tim Henson himself told us to use the Fishman pickup).. Love your video !!! as a guitarist, I really appreciate all the hardwork from the Luthier... you guys deserve a higher recognition.. Tim Henson should play this guitar !

[@jambertin54]

Unfortunately Ibanez wouldn't let him. They have him locked down. He can't be seen playing anything other than an Ibanez.

[@rogue1537]

@@jambertin54that really sucks. Its hard to believe a contract is able to control their lives so much.

[@jambertin54]

@rogue1537 you sign your life away with these contracts. Tim used to play Jackson, Ernie Ball, and I think one other brand, but since his Ibanez deal. I think he got rid of all his non ibanez guitars. Metallica are pretty much the only band that can play whatever they want even though they're endorsed by ESP. When Tims deal expires, he can play whatever he wants at that point.

[@s9plus20]

Bravo !!! Well done, I love it!

[@fernandotavars]

Vamos Apenas Aplaudir esse Luthier !!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

[@angelaferkel4942]

Wow, that’s amazing! What a beautyful Guitar 👍🏼

[@GitaraMaker]

Thanks! I love the unplugged version too.

[@ruang_21]

Beautiful guitar making

[@GitaraMaker]

Thank you!

[@lakisaki9508]

Galing mo!! Saludo

[@user-nj6qk5kt1b]

Thank you for the wonderful video! I make guitars myself (more precisely, electric guitars), and the experience of this Master was very beneficial to me.

[@Lobisco]

W for making the body deeper so it actually sounds good acoustically

[@GitaraMaker]

Yes, I'm using this unplugged all the time and rarely plugged.

[@FroggyMan]

WOW so beautiful that is the work of a master Luthier amazing

[@muzacta]

Oh wow!!! So astonishing!!

[@CandleWaxwell]

Thats a great build man❤

[@thatbirbfriend2180]

How you “clamped” the wood was genius

[@franciscoborges9591]

amazing work ❤

[@NETTNobviously]

When I saw the thumbnail I thought, oh snap, maybe I can make this guitar on a budget and have one after all, how hard can it be. What a piece of art, I take it all back. It looks phenomenal.

[@kenbaker9738]

Absolute, perfection! I would like to give you the Gold Medal, for guitar making.

[@rumpires6485]
