The Great Guitar Build Off 2021, scratch build, The Puzzle Guitar

[@ChrisFranklyn]

That is so lovely. I really like the "missing pieces" at the edge.

[@markbader4942]

Actually it’s driving my OCD a little. The rest of the pieces better come with!

[@aam50]

This has to be my absolute favourite of all the GGBO entries. Where lesser mortals would reach for the CNC, you’ve done an incredibly skilful job by hand - from sketching the plans on paper through to a really steady eye with the bandsaw and jigsaw. Stunning result as well - what a beautiful guitar.

[@shayeladshayelad2416]

There is good competition one guy built some kind of string tuners , every string has its own , amazing!!

[@bobbykanemusictube]

This has got to be one of the most amazingly beautiful things I have ever seen. The whole process, start to finish, simply amazing.

[@LeK--]

So much excellent woodwork and beautiful wood, and then you leave it dull, should absolutely be high gloss finish!

[@berberlowish]

Great job, the missing pieces and the hollow core around them give the guitar a beautiful and unique look. Congrats on the stunning work

[@philippehamelin999]

Thank you very much

[@russellscott1151]

[@tandrik6297]

Great work Phillippe

[@easyhelp]

Nice guitar, nice playing...

[@winklton]

I think this is my favourite guitar of this years competition 👍🏻👍🏻

[@TheWind213]

That is a really cool design and unique, I hope you get a really high bid for your build.

[@robertr4193]

Very nice work sir very nice.

[@vince8081]

Really great job, she's beautiful and original. Natural wood finish always win !

[@joh05058]

Wow! That is amazing. I love the use of multiple woods and the craftsmanship and mind blowing to watch with all the puzzle pieces. So creative.

[@Nour01]

Very creative ❣️

[@picksalot1]

What a cool idea, and well executed - Proving once again that guitarists and luthiers are some of the most creative people around. Your design brings to mind the tessellating and morphing patterns of Escher. That would look pretty awesome on a guitar as well. Thanks, and good luck in the contest. 😎

[@philippehamelin999]

Thanks

[@hahnjackers4151]

Really wonderful.

[@lowrising8130]

Beautiful. I love every bit of it.

[@ZitherBeast]

Another smashingly great guitar build. Fantastic job Philippe, fantastic.

[@xdoctorblindx]

Unbelievably good. Better than anything in the invitational, even. Great job!

[@frantiseksram9741]

Amazing build.

[@aaronmccallum2064]

Absolutely brilliant work, completely unique, this is what I think GGBO is about, best one yet, you should be an invitational!

[@jnorcic]

Super job Philippe and super creative with an eye for detail. I really like the concept. My best in the comp.

[@philippehamelin999]

Thank you, appreciated

[@aaronw9776]

Very handsome guitar!

[@timhallas4275]

You would get my vote, for originality, craftsmanship, and effort. But, it has to play well and sound good too.

[@HarryNicNicholas]

i have to say i like the puzzle piece shape a lot, having done a little bit of puzzle making myself.

[@barryallin8161]

Looks superb.

[@BBGuitars]

You must have the patience of a saint to make all those puzzle pieces! Looks amazing, love the concept!

[@DominusFeles]

Some parts of this was certainly puzzling

[@Furtheronmusic]

Extremely good build the final look is brilliant

[@timesurfingalien]

That's amazing. My daughter has autism and idk if your aware but puzzle pieces are a symbol of the autistic community. This really means more than words to me

[@MagicAtticGuitars]

Man this is awesome! I'm speachless. Good to have you in the competition this year.

[@Smike2095]

[@ronaldososa1975]

E X C E L E N T E ! ! ! ! ! ! Saludos Desde Argentina lo repito porque vale la pena... ... E X C E L E N T E ! ! ! !

[@vokinn72]

Such skill you have and an absolutely incredible guitar you have created! So good to see it done by hand as well. As other comments have mentioned others would have used a CNC but to watch you make this with hand tools? The best craftmanship I have seen in a long time. Congratulations young man you have a very bright future :)
