Making a guitar like a guitar pro builder means don't break it again!

[@Thr3-Words]

I love your enthusiastic yet relaxed way of explaining things! What kind of experiments have you tried in guitarbuilding, what worked, what didn't? This could probably be one or more episodes instead of just an answer

[@MontyMcKinnon]

You are right that would be a good video. You should send that to Tea with Monty. People would be interested.

[@not8brand]

Anyone else totally love the fact that Monty was a teacher and Peter does tutorials on youtube now?

[@MontyMcKinnon]

It's a crazy world. lol

[@not8brand]

@@MontyMcKinnon people like you and Peter make it a lovely world

Michael Builds sent me, so glad he did.

[@MontyMcKinnon]

So am I. thank for your support.

[@reddittellss9881]

I found after watching your sons vid where he updated your studio!!!

[@MontyMcKinnon]

Ya...that was crazy.

[@mpinkchristofalo]

Binge-watching your vids while getting ready to start a second guitar with my uncle... Thanks for the inspiration Monty!!!

[@MontyMcKinnon]

You are most welcome. Send me some pictures???

[@dtimsey9711]

Michael Builds sent me! Glad I came to see what you are working on!

[@MontyMcKinnon]

Thank you for joining me. Great to have you join us.

[@sonicpickups]

I am very excited to see the arm rest portion of this build. Been thinking of adding one to my current build!

[@MontyMcKinnon]

this is the fun part

[@danielcarter7430]

Michael Builds sent me here. Looking forward to your channel!

[@MontyMcKinnon]

He's a good man. I so glad you are here.

[@tegan007]

I am looking so forward to see this guitar come together. I love the clamps it looks like a spine like you are creating a living guitar like Frankenstein. 😂

[@MontyMcKinnon]

That's so funny.

[@angelatrebor8681]

Love Your video and plan to watch all previous. Love your amazing craftmanship and talent!! Your beautiful artistic skill is very likely inspired by virtuous patience. Even though your video is focused on a 'work-in-progress', your personality makes the process very calming. Thank You for teaching us how to be gracious and creative!😊❤

[@MontyMcKinnon]

That is very kind of you. Thank you.

[@jeffhesse8415]

Hey Monty, Michael Builds sent me to your channel. I've always had a fascination with guitars.

[@MontyMcKinnon]

It's only going to get better here. Thanks for joining me.

[@PeteMiller]

One (of many) things I enjoy with this build process is that you take it slow and methodical!! Far too often these days, ‘we’ are in an immense rush to get 9,314,510 things completed by Noon...and only actually accomplish 2 or 3 at best. Cheers Mr. McKinnon!

[@MontyMcKinnon]

You are correct. And thanks for your comment.

[@fngonzo]

Hi. Learned about you from "Michael Builds". I am glad he recommended you. I look forward to seeing more of your videos!

[@MontyMcKinnon]

I hope you like english Breakfast Tea. lol

[@benjaminwilkins1385]

Another entertaining video from the master of guitar building but I have to ask when you are going to do a video on drywalling your ceiling. I get so itchy just looking at all the Roxul insulation above your head but the English Breakfast tea at the end does make me feel better. You and your son's videos do inspire me to continue to pursue my own dreams and for that I thank you.

[@MontyMcKinnon]

Not sure about the ceiling. lol

[@Achisachis73]

great video! I always wanted to learn how to build a guitar, thank you

[@MontyMcKinnon]

Thank you for joining me.

[@micahfoordphotography3206]

Bit late to this one but had to wait until I was on a train. #TrainTimeWithMonty

[@MontyMcKinnon]

Sounds like a Johnny Cash song. lol

[@TheDjonSilver]

It’s very interesting to watch and listen to your video. I learn a lot.

[@MontyMcKinnon]

Wow...that's great. Thank you.

[@dantheman7344]

Hello Monty, #MichaelBuilds sent me this way. Very good, I haven't thought of doing this type of work but looks very interesting. THANKS..

[@MontyMcKinnon]

It is also very much a pile of fun.

[@a.butler1778]

Great channel! Michael Builds sent me here to check out your channel, glad I did.

[@MontyMcKinnon]

Wow, he is special. Thank you so much, I appreciate you being here.

[@cayloseals]

I love the vids! Keep up the great work!

[@MontyMcKinnon]

I needed to hear that today. I'm a little frustrated.

[@ceojoe21]

[@markattardo]

A while back I purchased a name brand solid cedar top baritone ukulele. They broke the linings too...I no longer have a baritone ukulele. I raised my cup with you but immediately realized the coffee pot was on too long. I've never had that issue with tea😂

[@MontyMcKinnon]

There you go...another reason for tea.

[@leighwilsonartist]

Great Monty, like how this retains its shape just after a little wetting. Would you have to steam up a piece of wood to bend without the cuts? 👍

[@MontyMcKinnon]

Yes, and the one I tried broke on me. It was too thick.

[@user-vt5hx1kz7l]

Just stumbled across your channel Monty! Great video, looking forward to seeing the guitar progress. Is that proper English tea you're drinking? If not I'll send you some from across the pond 😊.

[@MontyMcKinnon]

It is a Twinnings decaf. I'm sure it is mass produced. lol

[@user-vt5hx1kz7l]

@@MontyMcKinnon Even though it's mass produced, Twinnings offer a darn good brew 👍🏼. If you're ever in the UK make sure you stop by and I'll put the kettle on lol

[@MontyMcKinnon]

Deal!

[@adaxia1]

Hi! Maybe you should use GoPro to film in dust. On the other hand, Peter will definitely come up with something to show the machining process ... It's could be very interesting.

[@MontyMcKinnon]

I was thinking of my iPhone 8Plus for that. What do you think.

[@adaxia1]

Yep, if I remember correctly, the iPhone 8Plus has an IP67 rating of protection, which means it is dustproof and you can wash it under running water.👍

[@micahfoordphotography3206]

Monty McKinnon I still think GoPro is the way forward for this. Easier to clamp and get into awkward spaces than a phone

[@MontyMcKinnon]

I'm going to look into that.

[@CMRCustom]

Would like more detail on making the support strips.

[@MontyMcKinnon]

I will soon be working on the top support braces.

[@robertclarkguitar]

Nice as always. You told me you did teach and I was right asking if you did due to the amazing articulate speaking and mentality you seem to have. Grace and passion. English Breakfast guitar. Hahaha

[@MontyMcKinnon]

English Breakfast Guitar. I love it! lol

[@thomasjcahill2798]

Where can I buy a Monty guitar?

[@MontyMcKinnon]

I hope to have a website up soon.

[@Dave-bj2ff]

Hello Monty, why not glue the jagged stripes' smooth side to the body and have jagged side facing the inside volume? Isn't it better acoustically wise?

[@MontyMcKinnon]

Honestly I think the sound is better as it bounces and not absorbed with the saw cut facing out.

[@Dave-bj2ff]

@@MontyMcKinnon Thanks.

[@joppe6040]

First like! :D

[@MontyMcKinnon]

Thank you so much!

[@vapehunters1274]

That English breakfast tea is so good it will make you smack your mama!

[@MontyMcKinnon]

Well, that may not be a good idea. But it is nice tea.

[@robertclarkguitar]

I need to switch from Kuerig Kcups of overpriced lazy machine to EB. Tea. Lol

[@MontyMcKinnon]

Just think of the money you'll save. lol
