Daniel, you would not be human if you did not make mistakes. The main thing is that you learn from your mistakes. Don't beat yourself up over it my friend. You will still end up with a stunning work of art.

We ALL make mistakes Daniel, the real skill is overcoming those mistakes and making them less obvious. Never give up Daniel. You have a great skill in guitar building!

Mistakes are part of the jobs. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger and other useless sayings. But I feel your pain. Keep building Daniel.

Wow Daniel, this is a stunning, beautiful masterpiece! And it's so precisely perfect! I agree preferring this top over the unlucky one: other than being more particular, I believe it better fits, by colour and figuring, with the beautiful mahogany of the body. And when you show what kind of result you can achieve in a small shop with some basic tools, you're perfectly right. I'd just mention that, other than the tools, you have an undeniable skill, because they does not do the job by themselves. 😅 And never give up Daniel: we all make mistakes, because we're human. You're too talented to surrender.

Actually it is great to see you go through the needed adjustments to get your perfect fit. I can see you pay attention to every detail, and that you are a perfectionist. So extra work is needed. The finish product is always bottom line the final key. It is looking super. Keep it up Daniel!

Amazing! This was a great video showing that yes…. mistakes are made. However, you can overcome them. Plus, the workmanship is fantastic!

I also can get very stressed at times. If I make a mistake or two while working in the shed, I have learnt to just stop and walk away before it gets worse. You did well to recover so well from those mistakes and build sucha lovely body👍🏼😊

Immensely inspiring to watch you overcome and fix those mistakes! I am a perfectionist myself and I just get devastated when I make a mistake. Making stuff look perfect is not necessarily the hardest thing in a project, rather managing the mistakes can be ten times harder. Too many times have I abandoned projects there was otherwise going well, just because of minor mistakes. So thank you for including the mistakes. It is a great inspiration. And the guitar body looks gorgeous! :)

Amazing work Daniel. Truly incredible. One thing I like to do before gluing the top on, is to paint the routed channels with a conductive paint. Then, when I route out pickup cavities and paint them, I get continuity between all cavities, and all wires are shielded in the end.

@Blast_HardCheese 3 ай бұрын

That battery compartment is such an amazing little feature/idea that it makes me want to build something with active pickups just for an excuse to do similar

Great work!! As all Unquendor guitars, this one will be beautiful! Thanks for the video, especially for showing the things that did not go as planned - we all learn more this way. I always learn something from your videos! And I love the way you fit the top to your guitars. Cheers !!

@Morganahoornweg 3 ай бұрын

Again a good video. It is of course a challenge for you Daniel when things seem to be working against you and you starting to feel disillusioned. But fortunately the new top is in fact more beautiful than the failed one. Your doing great in the circumstances Daniel. I got a lot of respect for you, since you’ve been through a very tough time. My compliments

making mistakes is just a part of learning or is it learning not to make them, really enjoying your series, thanks for your efforts and sharing them Dan

@davidm4275 3 ай бұрын

You’re exceptionnal, so focus and wise, but also human, made to make mistakes, a luxuary not every species has, but so annoying sometimes 😃 your guitare body with the inlayed top is just fantastic! Whaouh!

@SimonCustomGuitars 3 ай бұрын

Thanks again Daniel - sorry to see you struggle - I thought it was just me! I guess it's not so much what goes wrong, but how we put it right - and you did great. I'll be really interested to know how heavy the guitar is at the end. My first guitar was quite heavy, so I have made extensive efforts on all of my subsequent guitars to keep the weight down (but I have also selected some very heavy wood at times, so I haven't helped myself!) Looking forward to watching the next instalment. Kind Regards, Simon

I could see a little arbour press being super usefull for pressing the tops in, fast and loads of pressure!

@Stringsmith 3 ай бұрын

This was a great vid. My inlays always come out absolutely perfect. Of course, it's because I pour liquid epoxy resin into the rout, so it's pretty hard to get it wrong. Nicely done.

Looking good Daniel, Happy for you that you were able to overcome the issues you encountered. Body looks astonishing! Looking forward to the next video. Btw, maybe in the future you will have some resources to fit in an airconditioner in your shop..... "het is je gegund" Cheers BekkerGuitar

It’s a shame about the mistake with the original top, but I agree with you that the alder is more unique looking anyway. Alder takes stains great too assuming you’ll be doing that. I never understood why more people don’t route wire channels before attaching the top. It’s so much easier. I include them in my templates. Really glad I got to see this before I attempt to do the same sort of thing. Mine is top and bottom. The back won’t be glued in though - the entire back is the cavity plate. The body is more hollowed out and the top isn’t as thick so I’m guessing that’ll make it a bit easier for the glue up as it’ll be more flexible etc, but even so I picked up some great tips and ideas here. Thanks

I Heard someone say once that every builder makes mistakes, the good ones know how to fix them. You inspired me to attempt to build my own guitar, Finished it last month with a few minor problems. Now starting a second one. I have learnt alot from your builds. Your're a great teacher. Thank You

@PeterHBoer 3 ай бұрын

The mistake with the centerline happened to me also once😭. Some select cursewords and acceptance of being a fool led to dishing the top and using another (this time checking at least 10 times it was correct😇.

Hi mate. Have you written on each template as to what each one is for. By the way love your channel and your work ethics

@radioking 3 ай бұрын

The reason that top doesn’t fit where the Mdf template does is most likely the stresses and tensions being released in the timber after you have cut the shape out. Figured Alder will move more than Maple in my opinion.

The wobbly bench looks worse on video than it actually is. It is bolted to a metal plate fixed to the wooden flooring, it’s mostly the floor boards that are flexing unfortunately

Hey Daniel, I'm also from NL. Always procrastinating my first guitar build. Love your video's and inspiring me to build a shed an my first guitar. Can you share your wood supplier(s)?

Hi Ziggy, Stop procrastinating and just start making stuff. For wood I recommend Massave Fijnhouthandel in Zwolle. Good luck with your project

Great work and I'm glad u didn't decide to scrap the whole thing,, sometimes there's a good thing disguised as a bad thing , and after all we are just human,,,,by the way what do u consider a heat wave in the Netherlands , just curious I'm in the USA

@UnquendorGuitars 3 ай бұрын

Hi Keener, Thank you very much. I think it’s officially called a heatwave when the temperature is above 25C or 77F for 5 or more consecutive days with 3 days above 30C (86F). But most people consider any 2 consecutive days above 25C to be a heatwave. We are not yet used to the higher temperatures and most houses don’t have AC.

Just out of curiosity… why don‘t you remove the bulk of the material from the cavity with a jigsaw?

@UnquendorGuitars 3 ай бұрын

Using the Pilar drill and forstner bits is so part of my workflow, for when I don’t have a top on my guitar, that it’s easier to do it like this. Also I have a healthy dislike for jigsaws.

you have to remember you are not making the same guitar over and over getting better at each one ,you are making prototypes which is very time consuming and have mistakes changes ..
