making a acoustic flying V guitar

[@ESCAGEDOWOODWORKING]

That is bad ass!! I love the flame and how it goes over the sound hole like that. Jaw dropping look dude!!

[@sdmcustoms]

Thank you Eloy ,I couldn't decide on f hole or round so figured as I plan to cover them alittle both would look cool and sound good unplugged ,any recommendations on recording live sound on a budget ? Thank you for watching

[@ESCAGEDOWOODWORKING]

@@sdmcustoms Yeah I saw that you included both. The flame covering like that is super cool. If you are not looking to layer sounds like a full song with drums and just want the guitar recorded. I think either a usb mic directly into your editing software would work. You can use the plug ins that some of the video software includes for audio. Such as compression and eq. I use protools and and xlr for recording songs. But there is also the zoom recorders that have really good stereo. I think the zoom recorders start at about 100. I have the bottom model and it does really really good capturing sound. If you want to go cheaper there has to be china knock offs that do a decent job. It's a big subject. The sony action cams record video and do stereo audio and they are pretty top notch with the audio believe it or not. Like really good. You could go the rout of a daw and they sell those pretty cheap like the behringer u-phoria um2.

Thanks ,I have 2 different interfaces ,used reaper and had success in the past but since I moved and set it all up again it just has way too much background noise that I can't figure where it's from or how to get rid of it ,I've been looking into them hand held zoom recorders with the little mics on them

[@ESCAGEDOWOODWORKING]

@@sdmcustoms The noise can be from where you are set up and electrical interference from other devices or grounding issues from the cables and such. It can be annoying. I have a similar problem and I'm always dealing with those issues. I one of my last songs on my channel. The 1988 song, I had crackly going on and just said screw it and left it it. But I need to get my recording gear in order. including cleaning up my PC. So yeah I totally get the headache of that.

[@sdmcustoms]

It's not so bad recording heavy guitars and hiding it with drums etc ,it's trying to get clean bass or guitar I have the problem and TBH I give up too soon on problem solving

[@sdmcustoms]

This was really a exercise in making a jig do all the work ,once the jig was made it took a day to make the body and I spent a week finishing and drying time . (I started and built the body last Saturday and am playing it this Saturday!) I really like how it turned out and it plays and sounds great. The preamp has a tuner , EQ ,reverb and chorus ,it was only $26 but sounds great ,it came with a under saddle pick up. I bought the neck I didn't do any kind of playthrough because as I use a phone to video, it sounded shit on the recording so I'll get someone to help me with sound and maybe start another channel with playthrough of this and all my other guitars I've made ? It sounds good acoustically and great plugged in . Thanks for watching

@@sdmcustoms been busy - but about ready to make a move. Maybe a few videos - maybe a bench or two. Maybe a middle finger chair - fuck i dont know. I cant do a playable guitar - but i could mock one. Maybe just making a body - practice some of the shaping.

[@reesriddoch5332]

First of all that is amazing. Secondly do you have plans for this? What kind of wood did you use? How tall was the height of the sides?

[@sdmcustoms]

Thanks ,bending what sides?

[@stevewalker2962]

@@sdmcustoms Thanx for the inspiration!! You have some great idea and ways of doing stuff that make me think "why didn't I think of that?!" Haha. You have given me an idea for an acoustic I've been thinking of building for gigging with. When I start it I'll make a video haha 👍🏻

[@sdmcustoms]

Awesome I look forward to that ,I'm in the UK in August lmk if you have any gigs

[@Shameling]

Sick work as always, man. How does she sound?

[@sdmcustoms]

Thank you ,it plays and sounds really well ,but I'm having trouble recording it clean without a bunch of static noise ,I've been looking into them cellphone microphones ? Hopefully it'll give me something clean enough to post , thank you for watching 👍

[@JosephLatorra]

Awesome idea and guitar! How does she sound?

Thank you,it sounds good I'm hoping to eventually get some sound clips of my guitars on here but there's one of it on my Instagram if you want to check it out, thanks for watching
