Amazing👍
nice
whats up with the gap ,Fill it .
So I made one today, not off plans but from just the general idea, and it seemed pretty promising. I am making a tighter radius for my type of fiddles. So more curved than a guitar but I may have made it too small because I destroyed my wood. Should have used a test piece because I ruined a nice piece of bocote… Other than probably making it way too tight, my router sort of rocked sideways in a way that I wasn’t expecting. I’ll give it another shot but what a massive failure for my first attempt 😖
Lovely job, gorgeous guitar!
It’s my dream job to be a luthier but there aren’t any schools for it and hardly any music stores aside from guitar center where I live. I swear Id love to do it though, really a passion of mine. Anyway beautiful work, really hope I can get there one day👌
What do you use for the black veneer details? And what glues do you use with it? Thanks :) great build
It’s just a 0.5mm black dyed veneer from Australian luthier supplies. Regular titebond wood glue as well. Cheers!
I fully hoped that you would build a Ural-650 guitar😅
I use a cordless drill and the magic of maths to work out roughly how many turns by weight of wire on the bobbin. I did make a jig with a counter but found it was not needed. I have a hand cranked jig my grandfather made and it works fine if a bit slow. I like your machine but I probably won't build one because I'm too lazy.
finishing is super clean...wow
Thank you!
Excellent Video! This is exactly the route i`m taking. I have many basic tools from years of DIY, which I am now using to make all the jigs etc for guitar making/repair. I came to the same conclusion that having a known straight edge ( Crimson too!) and a set of radius gauges I can produce most of the equipment needed. Thanks for a great video.👍
I have a 100 dollar guitar that needs this desperately buying all the tools is the same as paying someone but I said screw it I got more time than money might as well learn. Now I'm just waiting on the tools thinking I wasted both my time and money lol.
Great video,like your son that guitar is going to age perfectly 👍
You did an amazing job..using the fret rocker at the end seems unnecessary. I've had to be extremely careful with rockers and metal straight edges to keep from scratching the frets.
Jesus Arran, that thing is beautiful. 😎
Cheers! I agree!
Fantastic design. I love the HS pickup configuration. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼
Thanks! It’s the perfect pickup combo for me. 👍
Another great build Arran, and it sounds great!😀👍
Thanks Gio. I actually finished this one in January, so I’ve had a lot of fun playing it!
Looks lovey and sound very good as well.
Thanks Robert!
Another amazing guitar! I've enjoyed watching you make this pair of guitars. Of the two i think this might be my favourite.
Cheers! I think this is my favourite too, but it was for me, so I’m a bit biased! 😂
Another belter 👍👏👏👏👏👏
Cheers! 👍
Very Nice Arran. Good to see you AND your guitars.
Thanks Jonathan. We must have another catch-up soon!
@@adairguitars indeed. Tell me when.
Lovely, a stunning build. Props to ya mate and thanks for the videos.
Cheers! I do enjoy making the videos as well as the guitars.
What a gorgeous guitar! The wood is beautiful. Great tones too!
Thanks! I was very happy with the wood combinations and the pickups.
Those look incredible!!!
Thanks! 👍
That sounds great, lovely choice of woods too!
Cheers, I’ve had a lot of fun playing this one so far!
Ah the sibling is done, that neck pickup sounds awesome, normally I’m a bridge pickup man but I dig the neck a bit more on this one
Glad I finally got to finish the video for this one! I love the neck pickup with this amp and pedal setup. The bridge pickup also sings with higher gain with different effects.
Very nice, sounds as good as it looks.
Thanks Barry! 👍
Welcome back mate
Cheers! It’s great to get some guitar building done again. 👍
thats some mighty pattern routing, amazing looking woods mate
Thanks Mick. I’m looking forward to carving into the neck to reveal the silky oak. 👍
I’m an amateur builder. Your videos not only provide excellent information, but also inspire me.
Thanks Tim, I appreciate that!
For a while there I thought you were going to leave the sides of the neck stained 🤣 Nice nod to Jurgs, he did a few neck through builds
Thanks Corey. Stain all gone, only to be stained again later!
Not a luthier myself (I do play tho) but you always give me excellent ideas and get my creative juices flowing for my furniture designs.
Thanks, glad I can give you some ideas. 👍
The man finally posts again great vids man
Thanks Jaydos. It’s been a busy start to the year!
Adair guitars 100 percent😂😂
The guitar is coming along nicely.
Thanks! 👍
I'm sure the final result will be another gorgeous piece of art, can't wait to see it finished! Don't you think that the joint on the neck exactly all along where the truss road is placed, could weaken it considering the force impressed by the truss road itself? (this is not intended to be a critic to your work, just a simple question 😊) As I'm writing this comment I just realised that normally there's a similar joint between the neck and tie fretboard, so I believe the answer would be "no"...
Thanks! Yes, the joins crossed my mind too, but they should be okay. That’s what I like about this use what you’ve got challenge. Throw all caution to the wind and take a few risks.
Yes, I'm sure they will be okay. Fender built one piece necks with maple fretboard where the truss road is installed on the back of the neck, on a routed cavity that was closed by a glued wood layer (you know this better than me 😉). This surely proves that these joins are safe when they're well done.
The direction of the load imposed on the wood from the truss rod being bent will be almost entirely up/down. That is unlikely to open the joint (which would require significant sideways forces). To be honest I doubt its all that different to a 1-piece neck with the load in that direction.
Yes @@dnizy, you're absolutely right.
I really need a band saw .... it makes guitar making so much easier!!! It's coming along nicely!!! 👌
Cheers! Agree, a band saw saves so much time.
Este metodo tiene una falla grave. El "radio" final depende de la altura de la fresa, no de la plantilla. En el caso del video, la fresa hace el corte a 10" u 11,5".
Those woods are all gorgeous.
I’m looking forward to carving into them Chris. 👍
Good call on the headstock. Wish I had a woodshop.
Cheers! It’s definitely nice having the space, but I’ve seen a lot of people build in much smaller areas.
Super paint and perfect assembly!!! Well done
Thank you!
Nice i have the same type of jig to avoid tear out on fretted slots use shallow passes straight up from the heel at the high E side aross at the nut end straight back down at the low E side to the heel then across the whole board it leaves tooling marks but they are easy cleaned up the biggest thing to avoid is being tempted to have the bit flush with the center of the board when making the 1st passes tear out will happen
Yes, definitely agree. Small passes from the edges first.
What is the white powder you're putting on your fingers? French chalk / talcum powder?
Cornflour to reduce the friction. Other types of powders would also work. 👍
@@adairguitars Brilliant! Many thanks
Cocane
I love that shape man! sounds killer too!
Thanks! 👍👍
Now that’s given me some ideas, a great demo and a very slick machine! Cheers Dave
Cheers! It’s a rabbit hole that I haven’t gone down too far yet.
Amazing stuff! Your video production is wonderful and you’ve got amazing ideas. I can see I have plenty of videos to watch and techniques to learn. Cheers Dave
Thanks Dave. Sometimes I have as much fun with the videos as I do with the guitars!
Oh I missed this guitar, that’s fantastic! A brilliant design. Cheers Dave
It was a fun one to build!
Great!
What glue you use
Regular titebond wood glue. 👍
Never in a million years years would mine go this perfect 😂
Beautiful! 😊
Thank you! Cheers!
