Nice job!

Doing great!

That's pretty damn good!

Watched a lot of this on IG. Turned out great!

Kick ass! Going to start testing ceramic finishes this week 🤙

Absolutely beautiful

I kind of liked the satin finish

Can I buy it

Beautiful work…. And …. PUMPKINS!!!

It Didn't. Nice

Only one thing.. You forgot the bridge pickup.. 😄😄🇪🇸🇪🇸

If the painter Pablo Picasso would be a luthier, he would build guitars like those.. Greetings from Spain.. 😄😄🇪🇸🇪🇸🎸🎸

I need this guitar! Forest, VA 24551

I need this guitar. Coming from Austin, TX

It's definitely a unique guitar I have to give you that , I hope it sounds as unique as it looks .

Please keep making these!

thanks for allowing me to watch you create such a gorgeous work

I think it will be perfect design for headless guitar!!!😅

I love that recycled wood! I have made a couple of basses using wood from old dressers found at the resale shop. Much like your flooring, the panels are made of smaller pieces. We don't see all of the glue joints with the layers of stain and varnish they used to use, but a guitar body can celebrate that history. Your imagination was running wild with this, and it turned out pretty cool

Excellent Work Unbelievable , next one would be a Clasical Acoustic 8 strings 🤠

I want one of those twin turbo vises so bad, but man they aren't cheap! I love how your guitar turned out man!

Next time build it around your asshole and Sell it for a trillion....fools buy STUPID things for their stolen money☝️

The weak link is the plastic tail piece riser. I'd bet money it will either bend or crack from constant pressure over time. Tempered glass would have been more stable but it's almost impossible to work with.

Superb and very original design. Well done man, she’s a beauty.

I’m a template guy too👍👍

I've got an interesting question about using steel wool+ vinegar to blacken wood. I'm interested primarily in fretboards, and what tannin filled wood wood make a reasonable fretboard to blacken? Would their be any other issues in using a iron acetate finished fretboard?

I wonder if the original builders of the boxcar realized that after a million miles, the oak they were using would be so expensive to replace, that the industry would use composites of aluminium, steel, fiberglass, polyurethane, and insulation to make boxcar flooring. I'm sure it would have saddened them to know that old growth forests were a thing of the past, and the thirst for lumber would drive man to push nature to its brink, considering the fact that we are part of the very world we are destroying. Making guitars from recycled materials, is a fantastic idea.

Great job, really creative build.

Awesome build, and refreshing video. You just got a new subscriber! 🎸

It almost has the feel of a standup bass with the strings so high off the body cool build❤

Awesome work Tye! That finishing process looked like a lot of fun to paint on!

That is one cool guitar. I really enjoy seeing builders/luthiers trying new approaches to making guitars. It's great to see something innovative rather than the same couple of designs being done over & over again since the first electric guitars were built. Thanks for sharing this video, I really enjoyed it. Great looking and sounding instrument! Oh... the vinegar and steel wool concoction for staining turned out great as well. It worked especially nice on the white oak. Best regards. ~Glenn

Really cool brother. We will keep the community thriving. Everything I have learned about building is through or because of this community. I'm a proud member and I'm so glad you are involved in this as well. Awesome build man!! Peace & Love

Such a cool guitar, absolutely beautiful! and that relief!!! Great to see the entire process having seen the IG snippets

Really cool build mate. I dug it 😊👍🏼. Glad it didnt explode at the end 😅

Wow! There are so many elements of this that I've never seen before. The acrylic pickups are cool. It's all cool.

Love it! The oak looks really cool stained, nice and gnarly. I think the strings need earthing, maybe through one of the ferrules on the back. The fretboard material is interesting too.

Wonder if you put in bridge pick up it'll sound WILD 🎸👍🎶🎵😎😊 try put one in just for the record

Incredible craziness Tye. This thing is amazing, I love it. Love the creativity, the innovation, the balls. Incredible.

Ok, thats just silly!

I just did that vinegar and wire wool thing earlier this year myself on a cherry build, results are good but it really stinks when using it lol Totally mad looking build buddy! But I dig it

That's a very cool guitar 👍 may have to buy me some tickets for it. I've been experimenting with the iron vinaigrette sauce stuff on oak and walnut as I can get pieces from work and apparently you can get some QUEBRACHO Powdered TANNIN to make it really black but I just made a cup of black tea with 4 tea bags and wiped that on before applying the iron sauce made a huge difference in the colour.

Good to see someone not relying on epoxy pour

Totally epic mate, great video, totally original beast of a guitar

The relief at the end! I really like the abstract designs from both you and Mark this year.

Dude! What a great story and video. When I first saw this idea I was excited to see and play the final result because I know how you work Tye. Without boundary and restriction. Such a cool guitar and it was wild and unorthodox to play but I loved it. Thanks and good luck man. IT DIDNT FOLD IN ON ITSELF!

Great work as always.

This really is an interesting guitar design. Dave Dickens on his youtube channel uses one bolt on a few of his guitar designs. Some of his designs he calls travel guitars and he has used one bolt with screw thread inserts. The one he uses is different than the one you used. They are more of just a large slotted bolt that has a straight cut through the top of the bolt like a giant screw. Your guitar sounds really nice. Has nice rich tones with a bunch of sustain. If you had not mentioned that you had to change the design and up the acrylic riser where the strings come through the body I would have thought you planed it to be this way all along. it works well with the other riser of acrylic you used for the bridge it matches well with it.

It didn't fall apart (in fact, it sounded like it was still in tune). And lazy or not, you made that bandsaw blade look like it was made for work like that. Incredible build overall. Great work (as usual), Tye!

It’s awesome to see the whole process. Such a cool design. And just brave to see it through. The mid execution adjustments were really cool. I only have 1 mortise chisel, because I pretty much only do 3/8” mortises. It sits there on my wall-o-tools for sometimes months. But when I need it, I love it. It’s a brute.
