This is now my favorite TH-cam channel.
Yeeessss
Whoa, a headless tele, that’s going to trigger people for sure 😂 Stick a Floyd Rose on it and watch the internet burn down! I don’t currently own a headless guitar, but I am a fan and it’s only a matter of time 👍
They'll be making wicker men as they watch 🤣
I've got a whammy on mine i love it
@@neilduty8448 Sacrilege 🤣🤣
Love it. Should go to 7 videos a week because I don’t want to wait til friday
That'll be dreamy. I'd start with Tuesday and Friday first though I reckon.
I liked and I've now commented....✌️
Well done, you've been elevated to legendary status. x
Headless Tele? Holy moly. People are going to lose their ever loving minds! I love it!
Fingers crossed...
Oooooooh Schaller gold hardware would look awesome on this peach 🤑
Dial locked in on this bad boy Paul 🙌🏼
Mate it's actually dreamy ❤️
9:08 - “Laying the wood on top” is a no-lose strategy.
Exactly, go along for the ride and see where it gets you! I think we're talking euphemisms but I could be wrong.
I've been really fucking sick, all week! You have made me smile 😃 at the end of my sick week! A new project! I'm so happy 😊 Thanks mate, I really look forward to seeing how this turns out!
Cheers geezer. Get well soon. X
I'll watch ya build whatever guitar ya like. You crack me up. Best personality in the game sir.
Cheers boss.
Definitely my favourite guitar builder on TH-cam. Not only the most interesting, but also the funniest, and cleverest TH-camr.
Cheers Tony. Fingers crossed we can keep it going
That burl piece is really something else. Looking forward to the next episode of the tele mash-up; carry on, sir!
Thanks, will do!
Loving this build Paul, the more outlandish & weird, the more interesting! Looking forward to part 2.
Cheers mate. I enjoyed this one...
This is going to be a huge success...why? Because it's a tele. A funny story - I never wanted a tele. Then a few years ago, I got one, some deep internal yearning... I now have 4 of the buggers. I sometimes wonder if I need to go to TA (telecasters anonymous)... So, a headless tele is going to be wicked!
This video has it all - deep pour, sealing your edges and dare I say it ... crack filling - ooo, suits you sir.
I'm all headless waiting for the next episode...
I was the same, hated them untill I got old 🤣
Headless extreme wood and epoxy body. absolutely bloody mad I'm loving it.
Right on Cheers John.
A new series.... I'm invested.
Good man.
Very interesting choice for a body. Can't wait to hear what it will sound like. That is the only really important thing, right? As always Paul Thank you for taking the time to allow us the chance to watch. Oh, and the answer is no I am not peeking in your windows. LOL.
That's a shame...I would have organised a strategic flash 🤣
@@Milehousestudios Good one. LMFAO.
This looks bonkers and I'm here for it!
Brilliant concept. It's going to be very cool. Oh, and that totally unnecessary Stan Marsh cutaway, funniest cutaway ever. 😂
😂 What the Jeff is a Stan Marsh cutaway?
@Milehousestudios sorry! I meant Randy Marsh! 🤦♂️
Mandatory comment for my future guitar builder :) Crack on Milehouse! This will be another excellent build series. 👍
Looking forward to it
Loved the Going Clear joke.. "I'm coming in L. Ron, I'm coming in" 🤣
I was particularly proud of that one 🤣
That’s going to look so cool! Looking forward to seeing how it goes
Fingers crossed for me...I think the internet might lynch me before it's done
Gonna be a cool build for sure!
The Decapicaster, a tele that’s been beheaded
That's the best name yet
Another entertaining excellent episode Paul….. keep up the good work.
Cheers boss.
I LOVE THIS!!!!!!! Could call ut "The Guitarist caster" as no guitarists gets head..
To answer your question - it’s called caulking in the US no matter what we use to do it…. Bonkers, I agree!!
Ah...I thought so. Thank you sir.
Glad to see my favourite geezer/luthier back at it so soon.
Every week without fail brother
That is going to look amazing mate
Cheers boss
That is very cool.. Practicing for your apoxy table.. My daughter was given a birds eye teak faced accustic many years ago. The wood is amazing.
It's all about the wood 🤣
@Milehousestudios it really is! I wish I had your knowledge & enthusiasm 💧🌱🌳🌲
Thanks
Mate you're too kind. Thank you very much. All goes towards the charity builds throughout the year.
Every little helps….. love what you do… ❤ headless tele! Brave man… lol
Looking forward to this one!! Not a tele fan per se, but I reckon this’ll be bad arse!! Your videos always give me a laugh, so this series will be great. : )
Cheers Johnny.
Thats gonna be mega Paul cant wait till Chapter 6. Love fillin cracks lol
4 parts from now on.... Whoop
I don’t care for headless guitars but I’m here for the build reguardless. Also we call it calk in the USA, that’s what the tube says lol.
It says caulk on silicone tubes?
@ it did back in the day I guess. I was at tractor supply today and it says silicone
look forward to your videos every week
Cheers mate. That means a lot.
Way cool body shape!
It works, works well 👍
Proper gamble but I love it
That's a banging bit o' board.
Awesome idea
Thank you! Cheers!
Oak burl ❤
Love the design and your ideas. Looking forward to following this build.
Cheers mate. It's a weird one for me, I like the traditional stuff. Good fun though
Awesome can’t wait to see the end.
Looks pretty amazing !!!... no worry of neck dive on that bad boy eh !!! Cheers mate !
8K subs, pukka build and loads of chatter, love it!
A phenomenal first year I reckon...
Looking forward to the next episode... Was expecting a bit of a Vito Bratta thing but when I saw the body remembered you don't do things the easy way... Be interesting to see if that headstock gets any prettier... Never seen these tuners setup before bit Floyd Ish? Keep up the sterling work pal... Love it... 👍
Cheers mate. Think of this series as 'what sort of headless guitar would someone who doesn't like headless guitars build?' 🤣
I made one of my teles into a headless they are so much fun to play nice one bro
It really is! I'm loving this one.
See you for Part 2 !!
Thank you boss. This one's well worth it, promise
Nice!
Excited 🤏
Trial and error is how we have most of the cool shit we have today. Also, *New expletive added to arsenal* 😂
There's more where that came from
Dont know how I feel about headless guitars. But the body idea is brilliant. ( Oh well dont look at the mantelpiece I supose). The build will be great fun to watch though I am sure. Enjoying your work man.
Totally agree...I can't stand them as a rule. I just needed something to sit back on the sofa with the headphones to drown out Mrs Richards
Bonehead guitars made a cool headless style tele for the second Jurgs cup
Being privy to some info I know this is mint
You mean I didn't think of this before the internet 🤣 way to piss on my dreams Corey
@@Milehousestudios😂 he did a trem so you’re all good 🤣
Headless normally isn't my thing but really interested in how that body turns out. Perhaps a wall mount with a back light would look great with it.
You'll have to wait for episodes 3's thumbnail 😉
Weird coincidence. Im thinking of making my furst ever guitar and will be going for a telecaster kit to start off but will be doing it headless. I was pricing up parts yesterday then this vid pops up today
The internet's watching....😶
@@Milehousestudios Ill put my tinfoil hat on next time 😉
You lost your head mate!! Blamey thats a very nice piece of wood....headless are my favourite! and although a sweet telly is a nice idea a proper seven stringer, double cut, multiscaled chug monster is what would be really great to see....😬
A good start...bubbling up to be an interesting axe, looking forward to the rest.
Cheers mate 👽
Yeah you headless boys do love the crazy gear. I can barely play 6 strings though and this one's for me.. I had to keep it simple 🤣
Cool!
Oak???!! That’s gonna be a chunky one in weight. Love the big ones though. 😂
Mate it's surprisingly not too heavy. 38mm body thickness, some clever routing and 10% smaller than a tele. I managed to slim the bitch down...
One and a half minutes in and Im thinking....This wont end well! Lol hope it does though!
Inside info...It's a blinder
🥰 Outstanding 🥰
Many many thanks Chris
Noooo… not a headless tele!? I personally hate headless guitars. But totally look forward to the shenanigans!!!
I wasn't a fan either. it's just lovely sat on the sofa 🤣
Changing it up! Love it. I'm one of those that has never liked teles, until I found the one for me. You might know the guy that made it! That wood already looks tasty, but just want to check you are using 'tone epoxy', right? Also, 'See ya later fuck pigs' is the best sign-off yet. New t-shirt slogan? Already looking forward to next week. Cheers, Paul!
Mate this things dreamy.... I'm glad you're loving the Paisley prick. ❤️
Mate this one's gonna be tasty
Top secret info....It's already done and yes, it's a screamer.
That burl and epoxy might be even heavier than my G&L swamp tele. Expect to lose the feeling in your leg Paul😂 Gonna be ace. And I've never figured outthe difference between caulk and sealent either😅
I just weighed it out of curiosity Pete...All finished, 8lb exactly. That's the sweet spot innit?
@Milehousestudios Wow! That's certainly oven ready. And you must have taken half a pound out with that cutout. Fine work sir!
Well, I see you’ve had some kind of mental breakdown 😂😂
A headless Tele, this should be interesting, I love my tele but I think yours is going to be something special. Going to be a bit heavy, but undoubtedly beautiful.
Nice series, this should will be exciting (I don’t get out much 😂).
Last itch scratcher so finish the year off. Between me and you, this one's all done and not too heavy. I'll weigh it for the final episode.
Fucking love this idea mate, use my regular Harley Benton tele for everything but I wanna play and use a more hybrid modern guitar (for metal or metalcore purposes 😂) and this is a very innovative idea
I love your videos and you’re gonna grow your be a well known name in the business I can foresee that for sure
Very kind of you to say boss. Thanks for that. Fingers crossed
You’re welcome mate, cannot stop watching haha
We do call it a Calk Gun! I usually say im Calking then chuckle like a 5 year old who heard a fart. Because it does sound a little dirty! lol
🤣
Headless telecaster, I've just gone mental kicked seven shades of shit outta my duvet. Over it now mind 😂
I'm glad it had the desired effect 🤣
The figuring in that wood gives me wood! 😂😂 A headless Tele made by a headless chicken! Another entertaining series upcoming!!
Noice! An epoxycaster...
A headless transparent Tele? You mad bastard. I can already hear the hardcore Fender 'Leo perfected yadda yadda' brown noses getting offended and I'm all here for it.
Oh man...I hope so 🤣
Whilst making a Replica Gilmore Black Cat Strat,
He was often heard of referring to himself as a twat,
Trying to make the Guitar Used and Abused,
He tried but became very confused,
Until he discovered using it as a cricket bat.
Not far from the truth actually...
If I attempted to use all these fancy electrical saws and drills n shit I'd end up fingerless like Kenny Everett's DIY guy from the 80s.
🤣 maybe start with a kit guitar then 😉
@Milehousestudios nah, I think I'll just watch you make guitars instead. Much more entertaining and a better outcome.
Question, if you had dyed the epoxy black would you have the still seen the bubbles?
Only the surface ones that you'd inevitably sand though. It's all smooth and polished now and honestly looks amazing...
@Milehousestudios it's going to look absurdly good 😳
Another epic adventure into insanity 🤪, how about calling it the Teresa May Tele as she was headless no wait thats clueless
🤣
Just a quick comment... if you are putting an angle on rhe short headstock, it might be better to angle it the other way. The longer the tail (after the nut) on a string then the less it vibrates so better to be longer on the bass side... I know it goes against convention and usually bass is shortest, but there's been lots of experiments that show shorter tail means looser string when tuned so more vibration.
That's a nice point Dave. I actually finished this guitar and can report no issues. I enjoy the science though. I'll be reading up on this.
@Milehousestudios I read up on it after I made a headless travel Ukulele. The low G string (tenor scale with low G) was so "floppy" I had to change to standard Ukulele tuning to stop any string buzz.
I'd have a laugh and put something funny in the epoxy.. Mrs Richards car keys? 😂
I'd never fit her dildo in there...
@Milehousestudios 😂
My brain says fuck that shit...but yet I watch
I usually can't stand headless things either...That's why I went tele. Ergonomics are key with this one. It's soooo comfy on the sofa with the Waza Air's
My wife says “Fat bottom girls make the world go ‘round”. 🤣
Gravity is a hell of a thing
Duddeeeee you are amazing. Would you build a guitar for me, please?
Certainly mate. Ping me a message on Instagram.
completely fuckin mental..........right on target.
Last bonkers build...apart from the christmas special. Next year it's all very tasteful.
Yeah... absolutely fuckin mental. You've piqued my interest, mate! Black epoxy would have been pretty sweet.... body sized version of a Fender Starcaster headstock. Mental! Waffle on....
It's actually all done.... Wait for the beauty shots 😉
Call it the Tele-bastard
I'll give it a whirl in episode 4
🤘❤️🤘🍻🇦🇺
Paul I have a link for you, th-cam.com/video/JBlMlPG7tEA/w-d-xo.html, It is a guy building an entire door from epoxy resin with an insert. It may prove helpful or it may prove to be shyte. But I was excited but i get excited when the wind blows. So go figure. Let me know if was worth my time to send?
Definitely worth the time thank you. The deep pour epoxy I have was way too think compared to what this geezer has. I had no chance of getting rid of the bubbles without a pressure pot. (I've got one now.) Thanks again
May you grow and grow! You channel I mean, not your height…
Mrs Richards tried the same spell.....Massive fail 🤣
Comment
Took you a while to come up with that one?
That s not a headless telecaster. It should be called Bubbleboy 😅
Too close to home 🤣
Headless Telecaster? That's an Elecaster. It's an Elecaster build.
No head. Story of my life. 🙄
Boom....
“Fun pigs”?!?. LMFAO…I did hear that correctly ?… Yes we do say “caulking” here in the states….”… caulk it up!”, “…that’s gonna need some caulking..”, etc etc blah, blah blah
A headless guitar?! 🤮
Ugh, I'd rather have a headless woman....and by that, I mean a woman who won't give head, not a decapitated one (mind you, the latter would talk less).
Anyway, I soldiered through and, as always, it was a very entertaining video 👍 I'll be interested to see how it all goes.
A familiar story. I don't like them much either 🤣
@@Milehousestudios Yeah, and headless guitars are pretty bad, too.
@@joclock2900 🤣
my other half is not pleased with you , after watching all your videos i,m going to get my first guitar and start learning 👍
Awesome. Absolutely do it. Let me know your budget and ideas on Instagram if you do. There might be a video idea in there 🤔
You're so southern, you're practically French!
It could be worse...I could be in Cornwall 🤣
