Processing Back & Side Sets - Acoustic Build - Ep 1

[@punchion]

Looking forward to following the build. As a hobbyist I have built a few acoustics. I've enjoyed the process immensely and learned so much along the way!

[@GreenShortzDIY]

Processing the guitar wood was interesting. It’s nice to have a practice set of boards, saving the nice grain for a second build. I’m looking forward watching the acoustic guitar build series. Rock on, brother.

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

Thanks Tom. Having the ability to resaw large boards is a great thing to have. I can't wait to get these guitars moving forward.

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Nice job on the resaw. I love woodworking so I will be following along. Thanks Greg.

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

Thanks Randy. The right saw and the right blade make all the difference. It should get more interesting from here.

[@WildmanTech]

I’m tempted to follow along with a build of my own! I watched it all.

[@Benham_Design]

This is going to be a fun build to watch!

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

Thanks Brian. I have a feeling I'm going to learn a few valuable lessons on this one!

[@CMRWoodworks]

Awesome man! Looking forward to the series!

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

Thank you Chris! I forgot to mention your channel as well in the inspiration piece... I'm guessing you know how it is... The camera starts rolling and my mind goes blank sometimes. You are def on that list!

[@WildmanTech]

I’m tempted to follow along with a guitar build of my own. I watched the whole thing.

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

You've definitely got the skills to build a guitar!

[@CTmoog]

Cool! Can't wait to see more!

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

Thanks CT!

[@Buckswoodshop]

Beautiful wood and always a pleasure watching you work. 👍👍

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

Thanks Matt!

[@RandySchartiger]

acoustic guitars are a different beast! great work mang!

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

Thanks brother... Just hoping to do some justice in my first attempt. I've been studying everything I can get my hands on.

[@DriftwoodMatt]

Thanks for the shoutout! We can’t wait to see/hear your build! :)

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

I'm right there with you! Of course there's a million ideas fighting for position in my head right now. I've gotta get the first one done, so I've got a feel for this instrument type, then I can start to address how I can make them different! Thanks again for all the inspiration you can Chris provide.

[@hel_sim]

Excellent my friend!👏👏👏

[@allboutthemojo]

I envy those building skills. Awesome! Also really appreciate that you take the time to answer customer and non customer emails. All my instruments would be coming to you if I was local !

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

🙏

Looking forward to this. I am sure you are going to do well. you have the advantage of electric guitar building. I have been watching Chris McDowell and love the candidness of the videos. I am sure these will have a similar feel and I can't wait. - Rick Thibeault

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

Thank you! I've been spending a TON of time on fixtures, jigs and tools... I'm hoping to be through all that insanity in the next week or so. I'll be back on the guitar builds immediately after I'm done!

[@amendippanesar]

The acoustic build is going to be so dope

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

Thanks Amen. It's going to be an interesting journey, I'm sure of that.

[@metal_helm]

don't know much about building guitars, but that thumbnail is gold. Love the layout. I bet your click through rate is going to be through the roof!

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

LOL! There aren't a ton of folks consuming guitar building content, but it's all good. I just enjoy sharing my work.

[@metal_helm]

@@SkyscraperGuitars and it shows! I can barely put two legos together so I can't even fathom what you do regularly. not everyone has that kind of talent!

[@turbocobra]

Just realized you were putting content out over here again, watching, catching up !

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

Oh yeah! Trying to be more consistent over here.

[@homebuiltshop]

Nice! The pieces look great. I'm expecting to make some mistakes as well on the first one but I'm okay with that. Its part of the process and a very necessary part of learning.

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

Thanks Jeff! I'm glad I made a couple extras... The first glue up was a bit of a challenge. The subsequent 5 went well.

[@markgordon4368]

I've stripped and repaired so many I may have well made one I'm currently retopping an old fender to make it into a resonator, good luck 👍

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

Thanks Mark! I go back to the old adage - How many boards can you replace on a boat before it becomes a new boat? Guitars are kinda like that... If you've replaced a neck, then a back and then the top, and then.... :D. Thanks for checking it out!

[@jasonhall3923]

Building an acoustic at this point in my guitar hobby building journey has never really appealed to me, but I do 100 percent respect the craftsmanship and the skill that goes into building an acoustic. I am interested in the side bending process though. Maybe, some future content could be a hybrid something like a semi hollow 335 style build ? Really like the build series videos, I bet its a lot of extra work and time to do them, so thank you.

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

I have a never ending list of guitars I want to build. A 335 is absolutely on the list. I want to get a handful of "basic" acoustics under my belt, then I'll turn up the dial a bit!

[@crazyrees23]

How thick are your bandsaw cuts for top and bottom weeks sides?

[@snocrushr]

👍👍

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

Thanks Greg!

[@txsviking]

Mine would have to be a steel guitar. 😁

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

LOL!
