I built my first guitar last year. It was a Telecaster but I tend to like super strat styles more. Although, the reverse offset Squire Super-Sonic Paranormal is perking my interest.

If I ever decide to build any guitars, the first one would probably be a left handed copy of the 1949 Fender Esquire prototype. It's basically just a telecaster that only has a bridge pickup, and a snake head head stock.

I've just put 2 kit guitars together and ready to move up.Been woodworking for about 9yrs now, my dad got me into it and been playing guitar for about 15yrs.(trying to get good at both.lol) Really enjoy watching what kinda giitar you make next.

My dude…brilliant!

I've been playing guitar for 26 years. I don't know a single cover song. I trained semi classically although self taught, by doing scales, chords arpeggios and finger exercises. You'd never know I am highly technical by my songs, as I believe simplicity works best for telling a story. I play a bit in every genre but mainly folk, and all the hundreds of my songs are geared toward the love of my life. I have probably seventy on my TH-cam channel right now, but they are all set to private and only she can see them. I've used junk guitars and cruddy gear and software just to get em down good enough to show her. Some of em are pretty good though! I heard you say you have other media so if you have FB or insta I can send you a couple. So gimme that information, brother. Now that I'm getting good equipment in prep of my guitar I plan to produce higher quality stuff, and a couple of music videos. Far as wood goes I can do framing boat building and I turn bowls. Never did make any instruments because I consider myself a roughing carpenter at best. I love bowls though and turn em well because the bulk is just sand paper. A nice Maple Burl ends up being pretty wild with enough paper and some bees wax. Now onto some comments on your videos. You narrate very well and the flow is descriptive natural and fits with the background video really well. I'm sure your channel will grow my man! I'm kind of in a hard stint right now in life but next time I'm on the ups in totally sending you some exotic woods left to me from when my father died. Great video.

I used to be a woodworker, but I am now a bladesmith. I still get a minimal amount of woodworking in by making the handles, but not like when I used to make furniture. I also like to play the guitar and would love to win a template!

Amazing job

There it is! Watching now will leave comment after view.

Una alhaja. Felicitaciones. Sos un orfebre.

I'm a diehard Blacktail fan, and I JUST got recommended this video. You definitely did that wood justice, the end product is a work of art! But i have to ding you - you went through all that trouble and didn't get Cam's opinion!?

Frickin badass!!

12:48 that auto dial voice threw me for a minute 😅

Gorgeous looking guitars. Also I like that you are a humble builder and dont think your the best. but stunning

2nd bandsaw foe definite. A resaw is a separate tool.

I was just lamenting the algorithm being boring tonight... then it went and redeemed itself with this video. I've now subscribed. Thank you!

Can you make a bass guitar?

I love Blacktail, but I’m super miffed why he wouldn’t ship the wood. Especially if Hobbyist was paying. Would have saved countless hours and it’s for charity. Weird.

Love this!

My preference is whatever the Ibanez Wizard II neck is. Plays like butter and super thin.

Did you ever show how to make the jig in a video?

Aaaa, your builds are damn incredible! I'm planning to do my first build this coming summer, and watching your videos is just making me more motivated!

Criticism of the reveal. 1. Show more of the finished guitar. Both sides. Top and bottom. From many angles. It didn't feel like you showed enough. There wasn't enough pay off. 2. Show the finished guitar earlier. The end screen links covered up too much of our view of the finished guitar. If you show earlier it won't be covered up. It's quite annoying for our view to be blocked. Just show filler content during the final end screen part. Don't move the voice over. It should remain as is in the time sequence.

I mostly like the comments about these mistakes and how to recover for them. It actually teaches you a lot about woodworking and had to manage grain like you said.

Very nice build, but the poor maple, binding is not important for me, it is just a gimmick 😅.

Watching from Aussie, beautiful timber and an awesome build, nice one mate

you make some beautiful guitars

In the line of what duty?

Anything between 14-20" radii feel great to me. 10" is about as round as I'll go and still be fairly comfortable.

20:34 no way! I've never taken the dive into guitar making because shaping the neck scares me. This is brilliant!

You're absolutely not crazy to get a second op bandsaw. That's what professional shops do. What's crazy is all the professionals who have the money wasting so much time on machine setup. 8:22

Would love it if I could find someone like you to make / prep a body out of 125 + year old timbers from our house ( built in the 1890’s) Any ideas?

I made it with WoodPrix instructions !

Hi mate. Great video. I have been a luthier for more than 40 y'rs, and have almost always used outdoor PVD glue, and still have 1 guitar i made 30 years ago, and it's still playing strong, and NO glue fail. So keep on using the cheap outdoor PVA.
