348 RSW Custom Guitar Build P8 Fretboard Truss Rod And Assembly

[@lerkzor]

Jerry, you are a Master of your craft; the people typing that you are 'doing it wrong' are NOT masters of this craft. Please, sir, don't feel like you need to justify why you do things the way you do them, your instruments are the best testament that you know what you are doing. No amount of explaining will ever silence the Peanut Gallery. God bless you & keep you.

[@andrewsmith1520]

At 27.44 I can't help by be reminded of Matt at Texas Toast Guitars who always says, "If you're so smart, build it yourself, because that's what I do." Keep up the great work, I love watching you do what you do and with very few "fixtures."

[@TheTrashologist]

Your logic there with last one first to get done faster........ ABSOLUTELY GENIUSES

[@billyporterfield7755]

This is a nice looking instrument. These are the videos I enjoy. No sideline crap, just pure craftsmanship at it's finest.

[@MrJoeydano]

Well I’m looking forward to receiving this beauty 😍 a shame I can’t play like Leon but I don’t care I’ll still own a one of a kind 👍

[@74dartman13]

Whatever you charge for your beautiful creation, it's worth every penny and then some! Absolutely gorgeous!👍😎🎸🎶

[@RandySchartiger]

the fretboard can move all over the place when glue is applied, those locating pins was a good call! man that guitar has some beautiful wood in it, even the fretboard looks nice!

[@richfolkes]

I look forward to seeing this guitar complete and hearing its timbre. You satisfy me every time. Hats off to you Mister Rosa!!

[@lrstaf6]

I love it! I think it will be absolutely beautiful when the finish darkens the wood a little. You did not earn a thumbs up, you earned two thumbs up. As to how you do your work, that's simple whatever works best for you is the best way to do it. Each craftsman has his own particular way of working. What will be will be. Just accept that your work is world class and let it go at that. Be well my friend.

[@bakstabbath]

You're a true master of your craft, Jerry. This series has been a pleasure to watch.

[@cwilczak8706]

Thanks for the entertainment. I am really enjoying the build. I can now understand why a craftsman built instrument is time consuming and important it is for you to get it high standard right.

[@michaeladamcaira9174]

Matching the Rose with the dots, outstanding choice Jerry,looks great

[@lrstaf6]

Just wanted to say, I love the way you modify the colors of your rose inlays on different guitars. It's not only beautiful, it also makes each one an individual and unique.

[@mmccoy577]

That guitar is looking better and better.

[@donaldfisher8556]

As always Jerry you keep us hooked. Such beautiful work and craftsmanship; you make it look easy but I am no fool, easy comes with experience. Thanks so much.

[@karlshook6629]

I know I'll never be able to afford one due to disability...but I really wish I could play and admire one of your beautiful guitars. Truly impressed.

[@charlescartwright6367]

Aloha Jerry, Looking good, I agree with you about the salt. I am anxious to see it with the finish and hear it sing. Thanks for taking us along.

[@the.family.channel]

I absolutely love these series of build videos, beautiful work as always Jerry and once again thanks for sharing your craft with us.

[@74dartman13]

I've been planning and gathering supplies to build my first guitar neck. If mine turns out only a fraction as nice as yours, I'll be a happy camper!👍😎🎸🎶

[@limpindug]

Top job again Jerry, the Guitar is going to sound explicit, wish I could find the right word. Respect

[@JohnCarey1963Jag]

That laser cutter makes perfect details! Great idea using the porcelain repair putty as a filler.

[@mfc4591]

The product you used as a white filler is made in sunny South Africa. It comes as a clear, or white or grey for different applications, its tough stuff ! I think South Africa is held together with that product !...…. and I agree, don't listen to what people tell you. a master craftsman like yourself is in a league above what most of the rest of us humans do. Carry on doing what you are doing. This is a master crafted guitar built by a master

[@Grindstaff09]

that mandolin playing sounds great, and the instrument sounds awesome!!

[@Riffme81]

Truly a handmade boutique guitar Jerry. Love every minute of your videos.

[@1244taylor]

She is looking really really nice. love the colors.. I'm sure she will come alive with the finish and the final installation of strings and other hardware.. look forward to the next instalment...

[@electroKrunch]

The old school methods work just fine, Jerry! Don't let others sway ya, you've crafted enough instruments that you know when things feel right or not. The pin method for fretboard location is tried & true, why change? Many people don't realize the results of a craftsman's touch. Late 50's Fender guitars were blessed with Tadeo Gomez and his neck shaping skills, the necks were different when Tadeo left. You do beautiful work my friend, thank you so much for sharing what you do!!

[@sgnt9337]

Hahaha!!! Starting with the last one first! First that I've heard of that one... That fretboard looks fantastic. I like the magnet trick too. Great video.

[@josephtaverna1287]

Good evening Jerry she's coming along great my friend can't wait to see the finished product God bless you and your family

[@bootlebeats6331]

WOW! Your control of that Dremel tool free handing an access for the truss rod was a reminder what real craftsman can do. (I'll be calling your secretary for a dental appointment at your shop sometime in February :)

[@keninnis1]

Nice work...looking good..Bet the customer will be well pleased...Keep the videos a coming.

[@wjb2]

Thanks for the time and effort you put int your workmanship Jerry. God Bless you

[@stephengent9974]

You know what you are doing. I have made a couple of necks, and it is pretty easy to keep a line. What you are doing looks OK to me. Geetar looks real sweet. She will be a sound machine.

[@2323onetwo]

are you half way through yet? I binge watched these videos. I want to visit your shop. Awesome stuff.

[@jipes]

It looks absolutely great with the finish on all the colors of padouk and maple will surely shines on. Go Jerry Go !

[@one1gretsch]

A great video again, very versatile with so many tasks to solve. There are always new thoughts and ideas that have to be stored, for good use down the road.

[@roywalford1057]

Great build Jerry! Looking forward to seeing the finish go on.

[@MrUltraworld]

This guitar has turned out relly nice.

[@thomastommy1192]

Awesome video thanks for sharing. I truly like the Fret Board. The Yellow/Gold looks great on it.

[@kurosumomo]

beautiful guitar; if you flip the truss rod cover upside down, it might even look like the rose is sitting in a vase.

[@RickRomanelli]

Looks fantastic, Jerry. I love the curly binding.

[@barrywebber100]

It's all coming together really great, thanks for posting Jerry.

[@nickbellinger1047]

a work of art mate ....you should always use a flat block no matter what curve i am a spraypainter i know this ... i'm keen to hear it...thanks for the vid...

[@JC-nw2fu]

Excellent work Jerry! Can’t wait to see how she looks and sounds when she’s finished 😃👍

[@randoertle2965]

That is one magnificent guitar!

[@zapa1pnt]

Let me start by saying, I am Not trying to sell a "better" way, to do it. You expressed a bit of concern, with attaching the fingerboard binding, at the sound hole. Have you thought about using caul and a cabinet makers face frame clamp or an edge banding clamp? That guitar is well on it's way to being a superstar. Your selection of woods and their placement is just beautiful.

[@hughhall6474]

I don't believe a new Martin is as good as yours.

[@ThePreyMantas]

As usual, it's beautiful and the love you put into what you do is self evident by the end product. Your little locator brad nails, how proud of the neck are they, .03, .045, .06? I hear you talking about folks mentioning salt to hold the fret board on location. I'm with you, pinning things up is a superior, permanent locating method for most everything, besides salt and humidity is bad juju for pretty much everything. Thanks again for sharing and looking forward to seeing how your experimentation with finishes from previous builds is going to work for you.

[@1066wastrel]

thouroghly enjoying watching this build Gerry, found the Truss installation fascinating (never seen that before), thankyou for posting my friend, from west central Scotland.

[@Mulgy]

Another great video Jerry. But i could hardly pay attention to you cutting the slots for the binding on the head stock as i couldn't stop looking at the inlay, it is really stunning. also really love the choice of woods for the whole guitar really lovely. Padauk is really popular now too it would appear, tho i did see it on your channel before anywhere else. Ben over at Crimson Guitars is building a hollow body electric Explorer from all Padauk at the moment too.

[@Lancelot59]

The Guitar is coming along nicely. I look forward to each video and I have learned a lot. Thank You Jerry!

[@mikecurtin9831]

Your quality is consistently excellent, so I give a troll-crushing thumbs up before I watch.

[@capohd28]

Nice job! I learn so much from watching you. Personally, I would always take the ebony fingerboard, as rosewood wears so easily, but to each his own.

[@richardcooksey1600]

I love the guitar build video's. Had to go back and watch the last guitar build while waiting for this. Love your skill and artistic sense.

[@gwag8410]

The guitar is looking great Jerry, I’m looking forward to hearing it as well!

[@jmanhowwy]

So glad you posted tonight!! I will be enjoying you progress.

[@rayclark9643]

Jerry it's easy to see that this guitar is going to be fantastic when it's finished...can't wait to hear what it sounds like:)

[@andrewreynolds2647]

Great job Jerry the neck looks stunning. Peace and Love from Bonny Scotland.

[@janglada73]

Great work! I enjoy watching you work the magic. Kind of like a therapy. If I may say so I wonder how it would look if you counter sink the truss rod cover in the wood. I'm also wondering about part 9?

[@bruceducker2029]

I like your logic. Start with the last one first. :-)

[@colinricgmailcom]

You are welcome... By the way I am a qualified toolmaker, with a five year time served apprenticeship. I've always used the "Thou" and mm are as big a mystery as yourself!

[@maxradford5089]

Looking real purty. Good job Jerry.

[@jamesbrotherton3577]

Beautiful creation Jerry.

[@zapa1pnt]

Jerry, make sure your porcelain-white epoxy is Fully cured, before you apply the finish. If not, you may have amine bleed through problems. (there goes your finish) Not my own thought, just looked up using polyurethane over epoxy.

[@jeyapragashradhaakrishnan3443]

Another amazing video Jerry. Phenomonal Job. Can't wait to see how that Padauk pops when the finish is applied.

[@jamesharmon5963]

Thanks for sharing. That’s one very beautiful guitar. 🇨🇱

[@rbcphoto]

Another great job, thanks for sharing

[@0MyWay01]

I use the nipped off staple or wire brad method to accurately locate parts for glue up also. Salt in the glue Might be ok for building bird houses though.

[@sjp52047]

It's looking really great Jerry. The finish is definitely going to make it pop. Regards, Solomon

[@davidens8204]

I love the way you can make adapters and adjusters on the fly and have a superior product come of it plus you are not restricted by the old school method of saying well thats how its always been done its tradition you are like a navy seal o f guitar making adapt and overcome , among other things keep on doin what you are doin and maybe I can scrape enough money together to get you to make me one of those masterpieces before you retire .. take care my friend

[@xTHEFLOYDx]

Love all the videos brother

[@fireantsarestrange]

Looks nice ... I hope you can get that sound hole and neck fitting nice and even one way or another. Will be very pretty.

[@dtnicholls1]

Regarding the clamping of odd shaped things, I have no idea if it would be worth the time and effort or how well it might work, but you could cut the profile out of a piece of scrap wood in the laser cutter...

[@360vlogger3]

Been waiting for this one...thanks. Beautiful looking instrument.

[@webbtrekker534]

Looking really lovely!!!

[@WYO3]

Jerry, I think that when someone tells you how 'it ought to be done' you might want to ask them how many guitars they have built.

[@lrstaf6]

Jerry could always reply, "I'm the teacher, your the student. Be quiet and pay attention."

[@vilsiran]

That might be a stupid mistake. They may say 2000

[@levistubbs8949]

a work of art !!

[@johnniebgoode]

My wife is binge watching "Game of Thrones." Me? I'm watching your guitar videos. Much more entertaining.

[@duffduff4948]

if I built something as beautiful as that there's no way i'd be letting it go, it would be a keeper :)

[@SixSixthSix]

I think this guitar is going to turn out great! Still wandering why you don't eat any vegetables. You told us in a video not to long ago. Cheers

[@RosaStringWorks]

When I get brave enough I'll tell you. I'm actually a total genetic defect and that's no exaggeration.

[@bobberceli6874]

Jerry, Wow I'm only #64 to comment and don't know anything about wood working let alone musical instruments. However All So Very Inspiring! Bob

[@Ron_A._Bolton]

That Laser could put a rose into those dots don't you think?

[@mikelandreth7810]

Jerry great video. But I am having sound issues. Started with the neck binding.

[@georgekelly9797]

I think you have nerves of steel sometimes Jerry. She sure is turning out Awesome.. I love the background music also..

[@tonnygarcia8417]

Greetings Mr. Rosa, you just got to tell me how much that guitar cost to make, I think a lot of your viewers would love to know and probably purchase one

[@karlshook6629]

That is a gooder one... very nice work.

[@SuperNarcissius]

Magic hands !

[@swampfox3030]

Another Great Video. She looking Good!

[@danielzubov]

Thanks man. Very informative!

[@Wade6242]

Time to start doing custom inlay work.

[@saoirsepaddy]

I wish had some money to buy one of your Beautiful Hand made Guitars If I win the Lottery or get a better job . Jerry I be calling ya :) Cross your fingers guys :)

[@Peasmouldia]

I had exactly the same thought. I've never bought a lottery ticket in my 65+ years on this planet. Watching Jerry's channel is the only thing that has ever made me consider doing so. If I did win, then I only have to live long enough to get to the top of Jerry's waiting list + build and delivery time! Good luck to you sir.

[@walterrider9600]

thank you Rosa . you know what works for you lol most dont

[@GraeMatterz]

I don't know if you answered this previously, but how would a padauk fretboard work out? Would the oils in it cause problems? I'd really love to see you do one on the laser cutter. (I know you'll need to get a bigger one, but from your enthusiasm about it, I'm betting that's on the wish list.)

[@Pgcmoore]

outstanding!!!

[@DriveShaftDrew]

looking awesome thumbs up and shared

[@chris5355]

Great content, thanks.

[@zapa1pnt]

Do the last one first, huh? HA, LMAO. Took a minute for that to sink in. Nuthin' like Arkansas engineering! Holding instead of clamping: You can hold your work between your knees or in your teeth. Whatever turns you on. You are the artist/craftsman, turning out beautiful results, for a long time. "F" those who want to sell you a "better" way, to do it.

[@michaelburkmier488]

What video do you show how to make the trust rod from scratch?

[@jeffgrier8488]

I really like that fret board, it's really going to set off that guitar!

[@ryanramsey6391]

I clamp most of my work under my tracktor tires😁

[@lrstaf6]

May be crude, but it works donit.

[@danmooney6881]

Can you post the make and model of the microscope that you use?

[@RosaStringWorks]

I mentioned in a previous video I'm not giving out that information. I contacted the company asking them for a sponsorship they never replied. Since they don't bother replying I don't bother mentioning their name. I just want you to understand it doesn't really matter to me whether they sponsor me or not I just would have liked to gst a reply

[@danmooney6881]

@@RosaStringWorks Understood, not a problem, I was just curious if it was a standard scientific type or a digital camera type. Thanks for your videos they are greatly appreciated!

[@ickimadrasi8965]

One day I will get one in lefty
