I’m heavily inspired by Novo guitars by Dennis Fano - and my building philosophy is - not to reinvent the wheel- but rather try to learn from the greats.

I’m a guitar building beginner and I have been following The Great Guitar Build Off competition 2020. I learned a lot from the competitors and that inspired me greatly to build a guitar myself.

I built my first guitar under lockdown last summer 2020 and guitar building kind of hooked me.

You can watch first guitar build right here:

Why is that a good thing? Because old wood is cool ... and also more resonant.

The point is to learn how to build great guitars. It can't be rocket science, but it's fascinating. My plan is to learn from the best by researching materials, components, and methods.

Thanks so much for watching 😃🙏

I love the use of numbers in naming the builds, it really strikes a mechanical chord like there’s more to come in a legacy.

[tito.tarantula]

Fantastic build, Michael. You must be incredibly proud. Thank you for sharing your building process.

[redbunny]

Somebody likes Denise's work and wants a Novo don't they? Nice job with the build I think it turned out well. I want to build a pine body one of these days too thanks to him. Seeing the guitars they build inspired me to start learning how to build guitars slowly as well.

Nice guitar shape, nice pickup choices. Really nice in that it sort of normal, yet not normal. You have not gotten hung up on history, but you have not settled for normal either. Totally great.

[badgrammar]

My perfect, dream guitar. Totally nailed all of it.

[loremipsumuser]

Another awesome video, the quality of the editing is impressive and of course the content as well.

COOL DESIGN I like the way you make patterns and use the router for everything! I been doing it the hard way, you gave me some good ideas to work with keep up the good work!

[thadstuart]

[TheGhostOfThomasPaine]

These guitars are so beautiful. The shape is all its own. Brilliant! I would buy one for sure.

[ScheltemaBoutiqueGuitars]

Awesome design.It's not easy coming up with something cool. You did. Congrats

[mralgebro]

This is one of the coolest videos I’ve ever seen. Thanks for posting and showing us the process! It gives me a new appreciation for guitars.

[AncientApparatus]

I get it that that was the look you were going for but still it's looked great & it broke my heart to see you distressing what was a perfect looking guitar.
But hey at least you'll never have to worry about someone chipping the paint :D

[spillemusicstudios]

These videos are really cool man! I've always wanted to build a guitar, but never been brave enough. Super inspiring to see these cool designs by Dennis and see that its possible to somewhat make them at home!

[jeffkelly]

Beautiful guitar! The 'relic' finish is well done, I've never seen 'relic' look done before. Great camera work too 🙂. Subscribed.

[HENRYCOGIS]

I have a 1963 Zenon Audition body with no neck I found on Reverb. The shape is very much like your body style. I hope to make it into a Frankenstein bass. I have a 1980s Squire bass neck with a Tele headstock. I love your guitar so far. Looking forward to seeing the completed work.

[JR-ddec]

Beautiful guitar, I'd use that as my rock stick
