Making a Business out of your hobby is the ultimate aim, keep believing and make it work!

I won't bother with the cliche of "is it work if you're having fun" but dang does the time fly by doing your own thing!

I'm glad you got the AC and heat situation worked out! And getting organized so that you're happy with the space has to be a huge mental relief, as well. It'll be safer, too, from what you describe. Gotta keep yourself in one piece and protect the lungs, etc.

man that bench is killer very jealous! any idea if youre gonna sell standard-ish templates for things?

In my last shop, I had the same Wen filter hanging from the ceiling. And insulation/AC. No mouse, though. We moved and I didn't hang the Wen because it's too hot in the new shop (garage) so I just work with the door open and fans. But I think I have a mouse this time around 🐭

Hi Kent. Having set up a workshop before in a different life, the best bit of advise is Insulate your building as best you can at the beginning, especially the roof. Keep rockin.............

Looking good, have you got many orders yet?

yaasss! Rock on, gents

That Mark guy is really smart. I agree with everything he has to say.

good luck dude! dont forget to sell extra shit that isnt guitars so we can all buy the merch

Good luck. Live your life doing what pleases you. We are only here once? !

Good luck 🤘🏼

I want an art guitar.

- first track was so peaceful and chill until it wasn't lol, awesome. - second track that piezo sounds really good - third track love that body shape killer guitar - fourth track - uke track! awesome. I'm currently writing the demo track for the uke im building atm, thought it was going to be unique, the bar has been set now lol. Maybe we can have a uke off? - fifth track does having a pick in your mouth help with bass playing? that guitar is killer though, the fretboard board on it is awesome and the color on the body is so good - sixth track one of my fav builds for the last ggbo and fav demos. life is better in ripped jeans.

I might have to pony up for that stewmac fret end file. I mean, I know they're not much. But I figured my safe edge triangular file (from them) was good enough, and it still likes to scratch a board.

bummer that you are giving it away to a school or whatever that has access to more tax money than you can shake a stick at.

gotta get rid of that black sharpie of mine. enoying the vid, now i have to go watch the first 3. seems i missed them

Great videos. It was interesting to see the pickups being wound in one of the other videos. The double neck and uke videos were cool too. They're all great. That's vertical integration...making the instruments that you play.

'suspicious lighting' 🤣

FULL CIRCLE! I enjoyed it

That is so cool that you got the 1981 guitar back working. It's gotta say something that the proof of concept held up from when you were in high school, and you got it playable again (even the pickups work!), plus made the younger sibling in that style, but of course updated significantly and appropriately. This is a great video series. I enjoyed the whole journey, vicariously, of course. (...Now I just wish I could get that Olivia Newton John song out of my head.... th-cam.com/video/cLi8fTlDEag/w-d-xo.html )

Love the detail that you gave on your process. Unique and entertaining

I invested 26 minutes and I don't get to see it play?!?! 🤣

I'm sad a dano 57 reissue i won now has dead spots high E and b strings first and second frets. I'm a beginner and I am fond of the guitar because it's easier to fret and I like the string spacing.

i make my nuts out of stone.

don't blow your nut! it's important! believe it or nut.

nah, man, *I* need to get out more 🤣

I love the opening! I thought you were about to announce that you were starting to harvest your neighbors' trees for build materials. ;-)

Those birds were mad because you were talking smack about that wood. 🤣

Thank you sir, very informative and helpful and encouraging people who can't afford what the love to do. Blessings and regards from England.

I like to listen to the birds when I'm working, too!

i wish some make a Chibson with a snakehead headstock like PRS better strength and tuning stability.

never a dull moment when working with ''Feature'' wood, only dulled tools!

I'm in, but also, when you said cheap I was expecting ~90 bucks, not 250 :D

The way it was rattling around in the shipping box made me think you'd have some repair work to do. I was wrong! Were the strings slackened before shipping? I guess they ship enough instruments around the world that they know what the odds will let them get away with. It's kind of impressive.

The dowel system is cool, it's the same thing Maximum Guitar Works has been doing with their templates for a while now. Seems like it works well.

So you built this guitar in the midst of building your GGBO2022 guitar! I have to say you have some very innovative ideas in this build. I wonder if you used the same (or similar) ideas in a fun guitar build.

Love the shape of the guitar. And the larch works very well with the walnut! Great choice!

I may be more than a year and half late to your build series, but it looks like I've watched this video - back in 2022. Probably through Scott's playlist. Anyway, it was nice watching in context today, after episodes one and two.

Wow! Now I know what Daniel was talking about. Very nice video. I'm more than a year late, but I'll watch the rest of the series.

Definitely sell the templates

Hey brother. I bought myself a 24"x24" Lazer cutter for template making and inlays. I may need to pick your brain about template design. I really like your method man. Killer stuff!✌️&💙

Very industrious templating.

Looking good - and the templates with locating dowels are a good idea. At first I thought you were using Steve's templates from Maximum Guitar Works - I think he's been selling these for a while. Same idea, with off-body locations. Not sure if he has a system for neck angle.

Took 17 min to get to Guitar 1, what a joke video......

A Gibson Les Paul Custom starts at $5K and go up from there. I just bought another LP Custom last October from Sweetwater. If you have a place I can get a Gibson LP Custom brand new for $2,999 then I will buy 3 tomorrow!

I knew the second one was the Gibson LP . I knew the Epiphone was the first one. Epiphone always sound thinner. I never heard of an Agile. Agile is a great sounding guitar, but there just isn't any replacing a Gibson Custom Shop LP. They are not close. They are very distinctive.

the title of the video doesn't make sense.

Blind Test I picked from most preffered to least (All sounded great) #2, #3 , #1. What I heard was my preferrence to the string clarity of a vintage PAF. They just sound more bell like and I love that sound as you hear each string tone more individually. That being said the Eppi would be my favorite for scooped tones since to me it was the darkest sounding guitar out of all three. #3 probably best of both worlds and I'm sure If I was playing it myself, I would like the hotter pickups for higher gain tones, but if I'm playing clean to edge of breakup, the Gibson for sure. What I find is the lower output pickups are better for clean tones to edge of breakup being bell like in tone. For High gain tones hotter output pickups lose that quality the hotter they are and become more scooped in tone and less string to string articulation, but that is what you want for high gain. (I understand the Epi was not the highest output so some of it's scoop in tone was being the only guitar without a maple cap, and yes it does make a difference) High output pickups gives you that preffered creamy distortion sound. Judging these based on only tone is only part of the story, how they feel in your hand and the mojo each create is another that we as veiwers cannot determine. Great video, keep up the great work.
