Simply Beautiful, , it has a Paul Reed Smith kinda vibe, I tried to build my own guitar but instead of a PRS it was a POS.

That takes a whole hell of a lot of knowing WTF you're doing. Great job man

[joecraven]

I'm about to take on a first time build and this was immensely helpful. Beautiful guitar!

My girlfriend found me staring at the screen of my PC, heard the music and asked me "are you watching porn..?!?"

Me: "no... but actually yes..."

Man, shaping the neck by hand. You have mastered your art.

For the people wanting to hear how it sounds, I'll upload something one of these days...

[mateuszkocot]

Man! That's a great piece of art! Finish is so beautiful! Imo it looks so good with this fingerboard!

What a beautiful expression of your love and devotion went into this build 🎸🥰

The pacing of this video is impeccable- just the right amount of footage sped up appropriately, mixed with spellbinding craftsmanship

Nice shape! I like it when people come up with something just that bit different

My favorite part was the camera shot where we saw your safety gear. So many people forget what they are breathing and never cover their eyes. Awesome

I never thought of using Doritos Salsa as a finish, but I like outside the box thinking! :D

Thanks for sharing...seeing all the labor of love and quality tools going into building a quality instrument, I have no problem spending 1000 or more on a good guitar.

I nearly cried when the screwdriver slipped 😮...superb craftsmanship!... I wish I could work as fast as you.🤗

this is so relaxing that i’d fall asleep on and off during the sanding portions. don’t mean that as an insult either. such soft and gentle technique making the whole sculpt look and feel like butter with such beautiful natural design from the wood all under the time lapse just sets your mind down the best most relaxing thing you could watch. not even to mention the guitar in the background complimenting the whole thing. really hope i can make something like this one day.

Might I recommend a trapezoidal neck profile for your next build? I filed one of my necks into a straight endurneck-type profile which is completely flat on each plane and it instantly became my favorite neck. You can't really find them out in the wild so your only option is to kinda build or shape your own, and you have the tools and knowledge to do so...just a thought. I know it changed the way I interact with the neck on a tactile level for the better.

one of the most satisfying videos I've ever seen on YouTube, holy hell!

[captnsquid]

I must add, you have to LOVE what you are doing! Great workmanship and pride in what you do. thx for posting

[stevefpv]

yay! I was among the first 500 subscribers of this new awesome guitar building channel! Awesome content, good editing, not much talking and no sponsors all over the place and in every camera angle.
Fun to watch, GJ.

The Idea with the guiding pin to drill the string holes from the backside is brilliant. noted for my Strat built, if I'm ever going to finish it...
