This KIT GUITAR Shouldn't Rock This Hard

[@pauljeffzafra]

Came to this channel after 5 years, I’m very glad to see that you still make the same exact content 5 years ago and didn’t quit because of the Pandemic

[@Tuuralihn]

At 5:45 I swear he was unpacking a slice of american cheese and since it's Bob I was just "Huh, weird, I guess he has a plan." I trust Bob too much...

[@ChrisFranklyn]

Came here to comment that same thing!

[@TheDarkPreacher65]

I can just see Bob taking a slice of American and unwrapping it while talking about getting a new tack cloth, stopping, looking at the cheese, then the camera, and saying "What? It's lunchtime, I'll get the dust off that piece after my sandwich."

[@Iliketomakestuff]

best. comment. ever.

[@pmdinaz]

Your logo in orange on the pick guard and ILTMS on the headstock in black block letters with an orange border would definitely 'finish' it off. Nicely done! I like it.

[@washinthewind]

I like how you used Jimmy's icepick to mark holes for screws which you installed with Giaco's driver.

[@loganb2198]

I was heartbroken when he chose the white side of the pick gaurd

[@teemondy]

Yeah it needs… something

[@jessehoward6160]

It was great right up until then, the guitar didn't need one at all the only way to go would have been a transparent one in a traditional explorer guard shape......transfer tape or low tack masking tape man, draw it on then carefully take it up and re stick it down to your actual material

[@tonydiebold4899]

Yeah…. Same here

[@Nick-hm9rh]

Maybe a clear pick guard

[@brentfrench752]

Transparent would be good, but a smaller black plate would have probably been my choice.

[@wittworks]

I like it. I have that “screw driver you don’t need” too!

[@danthemakerman]

I wonder how many folks got the "Gluey" reference at 1:48? My favorite "Gluey" episode is "Clamping" really tugs at the ol heart strings.

[@UltimateTechHub]

I love double humbucker pickups! It's my favorite pickup serup. Great guitar build Bob! Very impressive!

[@JustnRTR]

I made my own explorer last summer and it came out way better than I ever thought it would

[@davebauerart]

Looks great. I really like burst style paint jobs and the color combo is perfect.

[@hiramrichmond3341]

Bob you should make the Double Decker Couch from Lego movie. I looked it up and couldn’t find anyone who had made it. Would make a funny present

[@BLBlackDragon]

I still have a few things to learn about guitar building before I'm ready to enter the GGBO (I want to enter the scratch built category), but I'm looking forward to it. You came up with a really nice design, and a lovely finish. Good luck with the competition.

[@CraigHollabaugh]

I watched 7 GGBO build videos today, what a treat! Thanks from Colorado.

[@CodyKhaoz]

Every time I watch your videos I learn something new,and the guitar looks beautiful!

[@TheDarkPreacher65]

I watched Pask Makes do this same thing on his channel, and I am enjoying seeing the different approaches to this challenge. Bob with his hair metal style guitar, and Pask with his copper work decorated guitar.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

I appreciate that!

[@benjamin.kelley]

My brother participated in GGBO last year, and I helped put his videos together! Seems like the pick guard won't really help since the natural strumming motion is the opposite way.

[@OfMasses]

Looks nice! One piece of critique, though - for that body style, I'd would recommend putting the front strap lock on the back of the guitar, near the neck joint.

[@sgsax]

Fun build that looks really good! That tobacco sunburst turned out really nice. Good luck in the raffle! Thanks for sharing!

[@Serkofetmet]

Wow i really loved the sound of that one. Very cool twang and classic tone. Thats one sweet guitar you made there.

[@James-of-all]

Bob guitars are gonna be a collector item in the future and are gonna be worth a fortune! Step aside Les Paul, Bob is in town!

[@TotalBoat]

Killer job! It turned out amazing!

[@WovenThorns]

Love the Gluey label!

[@jerupt]

Love the Matt Ferguson Empire Strikes Back Japanese variant in the background there

[@username14219]

That Gluey sticker made my day. I'll be ordering that!

[@someonesays8022]

Beautiful job Bob!

[@DoTheThingTheater]

I love watching Robert build things

[@C3DPropShop]

Robert.... 😒 well then.

[@jefffalls]

9:38 Using a hammer with no punch or other way to protect the guitar body. You have what it takes to sell real estate.

[@JonathanRansom]

I like the paint job!

[@sapelesteve]

Terrific guitar build Bob! Wish that I knew how to play because I would definitely be bidding on that guitar! 👍👍🎸🎸

[@bellescreativecraftdesigns1132]

That is so awesome!!! Love that it was for charity!! ❤❤

[@jbmenace214]

Awesome Job! That looks super sick!

[@starboy71]

At minute 5:45 I thought you were opening the largest slice of processed cheese. LOL

[@Iliketomakestuff]

HAHAHA!

[@dabeamer42]

This vid has some really good background music throughout. (No, I don't mean Bob's noodling at the end...)

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Thanks!

[@matthewk7487]

I'm over here waiting for the drum set build.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

So is Anthony!

[@JacobHGamez]

Awesome!!!

[@joshsebbage7873]

Gives me guitar hero energy

[@davidpeterson5186]

Way to think outside the box!

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Awesome job. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep making. God bless.

[@timhallas4275]

The pick-guard should be black. Since you left the wood-grain, a satin finish would look much better.

[@MatthewBowe]

That Gluey joke nearly killed me.

[@reforzar]

Love this! Nice work!

[@silent_rl]

Guitar's looking hella dope

[@cj6666666999]

It’s like the perfect mix of explorer an a kelly it’s wicked!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Thanks!

[@neothings7662]

Seriously thought the tack cloth was a cheese slice 😲

[@michaelrolph198]

Bob please, PLEASE, make an actual sized Skee-ball game. You’d have at least one customer buying those plans 😉

[@hassanal-mosawi4235]

Art work, beautiful!

[@jefffalls]

7:14 If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.

[@just.some.dud3]

*Watches Bob use the longest pickguard screws in history* Lol, good stuff Bob. :)

[@catgynt9148]

Interesting build Bob... could you have painted the headstone with the same colors as the body? Interesting project and build. Cheers

[@Officialshayne]

Make a Drum Set!

[@1korbinm]

Gluey. Amazing.

[@thomasbowen8565]

I’d really like this gutar

[@Thelaumartinussen]

waaauw it is cool.

[@bobbyfleury6521]

Love it

[@ryanfromdeland]

Cool!

[@VAXHeadroom]

Excellent build, love the burst job! But spar varnish?!? Taking a page from Jimmy Diresta's book in this case is a terrible idea. Yes I complained about it on his guitar too.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

To each his or her own.

[@VAXHeadroom]

@@Iliketomakestuff I guess. But spar varnish is designed to NOT harden so that it doesn't get slippery on boat decks. You put all that time and effort into building this, it seems a shame to use a finish that doesn't do it justice.

[@peachmelba1000]

@@VAXHeadroom The whole build is rather slapdash. The pick guard is preposterous. The burst looks pretty good from rattle cans, but he is a non luthier, so I guess he just doesn't have the depth of knowledge on how these build should be done.

[@VAXHeadroom]

@@peachmelba1000 I've followed these guys for quite a while including on the "Making It" podcast. He's a good fabricator with a solid knowledge of how to build - and finish - furniture. Just wish he'd used that knowledge here...

[@MichaelStoneham]

Hey did you include a case for 6his odd shipped guitar?

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Yep, we have a case

[@CryptolockerMD]

The color and spray came out nice, but that finish is still too raw imo. It's nice to have the grain come through on the texture but every other little imperfection and scratch will too, and I could see it in the video. Maybe I am just spoiled on high gloss finishes.

[@Mike_VH]

Can’t find that guitar kit blank on the website. Can you post a link.

[@Mike_VH]

Nevermind. Just found the page that says they are no longer producing them.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Oh Dang, good to know. I tried finding the blank to link for others.

[@bradleyboetel2822]

Not bad I want learn more

But check out StewMac.com they have lots 👍🏼

[@majora3043]

@@Iliketomakestuff Thanks! I'll check them out.

[@MichaelSmith-vt2xt]

I don’t know anything about guitars but is the nut optional on the neck?

[@joesharpe7685]

The nut is absolutely necessary! It’s what holds the strings in place and determines so many factors of a guitar. Guitars are generally imprecise instrument, but the nut is an area of great precision on a guitar.

[@ethanturner5164]

Cool

[@C3DPropShop]

Oh dang. Peep Bob's fancy boy bit driver! That thing looks totally unnecessary...definitely don't need it. 😉

[@DieCastoms]

It's beautiful ... but .. it -seems- like it's backwards. like .. it was supposed to be a left-handed guitar .. like the template was upside-down when you cut it out. Please don't get me wrong, it's beautiful as I said, this is just my observation.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Thanks! No, it's not backwards. I was trying to do a design that was inspired by the Gibson Explorer 👍🏼

[@DieCastoms]

@@Iliketomakestuff No, I know it isn't, I watched you design it that way.

Why is your guitar not listed on the website while your podcast associates made it? 🤔

They aren't offering it on the website now and I'm not entirely sure why :(

[@YN3_]

Unbelievable poor quality of the work ( so sad to watching this video. I don't understand how it's possible Oo

[@cedarstuff]

A pretty basic build - not what I'd come to expect from this channel.

[@JacobBanman]

His previous guitar build was better in my opinion... this one just doesn't feel right

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Sorry you feel that way. Luckily we're all entitled to our own opinions and what we deem as "quality".
