Amazing work gents, I would be happy to own ether!!! I think you two should should have your own morning TV spot... "and now we go over to Music Corner with Todd and Gio, what are you guys over engineering today?" 😂
Todd it's gorgeous n I was right once you got that black nut put in the neck looks whole n perfect. Gio it's beautiful n elegant like always. Both of you again have built art. Absolutely beautiful love the collabs, keep em coming.
There’s a couple of winner guitars there. I think my next purchase will be a semi in the style of these. I have a lovely old Ovation bowl back. Sounds great but not comfortable to sit and play. These two just look so comfortable and no doubt a pleasure to play. Thank you both for your work, artistry and sharing it with us. Legends both of you.
That's a really nice thing to say brother, thank you so much! We love doing this together and it's so much fun. I can't wait for the next one and as always, thank you for the support.
Thanks Jay, that’s really kind. I had an ovation many years ago and I had the same issue, it used to roll off my lap when I was sitting around noodling. I think Todd and I both agree that the feel and comfort is a super important part of the build. I hope you find a semi hollow you love, and if not you know where there are 2 for sale!🤣🤣
@@TornelliGuitars They are nice guitars but yes the bowl back isn’t the easiest design for sitting. Lol I wish I could buy both but sadly they will both be a long way out of my budget atm, and for good reason. But I’m saving up slowly with the hope to one day get a custom build (or maybe two 😁 ) and I certainly know where to look when I do.
That's a strong statement and I'll take it! Thank you so much. I love your work my friend and I wanted to wish you good luck with your giveaway! Peace & Love
Wow, fabulous guys. I don’t have a favourite, I love em both, but i do think they’re probably my favourite guitars that either of you have built. Totally with you Todd on the heel transitions and the happy accident with the maple is superb. Loving the choice of P90s., the snap and snarl, particularly through a Vox is awesome. I wish they did humbuckers and single coils with such clean mounting for non-scratch plate mounting. Last years GGBO, I used a Lollar, in the bridge with a different cap on the switch for the neck which might be a quick option to brighten up the neck 90 Gio. Btw, the juice box really made me laugh! I think what’s great about these builds is the yin/yang thing going on between you both. Jack Spratt and his wife, if you remember the rhyme. And while you learn off each other, I learn so much by watching you do that. There are many builders I pick things up from but I think both of you are probably the biggest influences of technique and process as I stumble along. It just works and what you do resonates with how I go about things and what I want to achieve. I probably sit somewhere between the both of you. Almost literally because I’m in England 😂 Im with you gio, i love RevsStars so will check out the recommendations. As always, I look forward to what you do next, either together or individually. Once again I write a comment that turns into a book 😂
What a great comment brother. I really appreciate everything you said here and it makes me feel so great to hear all of this. I'm humbled by it and I'm so glad you are getting something from watching the videos. Thank you so much. !!✌️🤍
Thanks Jamie, we really appreciate it buddy. And yes the P90s through the Vox sound so good, pure rock n roll! I know what you mean about clean pickup mounting too, I’m going to do that next time I do humbuckers, I have a plan that will work and look as clean as P90s 😉. I have just ordered a set of Bare Knuckle P90s so I’ll be able to test them back to back and I’ll stick with whichever sound best. I really like the style of your builds too, I think we value a lot of the same things! Thanks once again for the support and encouragement!👍
@@TornelliGuitars I'd be really interested to see what you do with the humbuckers. I'm rear mounting the single coils on my GGBO build to keep it clean. I hate that daft triangley bit on single coils and pickup rings look really naff when you have the pickups angled. And yes, I do think we're very much on the same page in many respects 🙂
Todd, Gio, those are some killer guitars! Love the natural wood finishes you both went with. Black Limba is my favorite body wood. The black hardware really pops as well. Many thanks for shouting out my pickups as well. Those are some builds to be very proud of for sure!
Bill my friend. Let me just say that I love these p90's man as I do all of your pickups. I will get to the point that they're the only thing that goes in a Sweet T Guitar. Thank you so much for the kindness you've shown us both and for being such a great part of this community✌️🤍
I love how we got a Big Lebowski reference from Todd at 9:25! We're a lucky bunch of subscribers getting to see you guys knocking out these guitars effortlessly. I love both of them. Well done guys, well done. Quality work, and entertaining & educational videos as always!
DING round two of the rewatches. I have to watch these at least three times to see all of what you guys did on your builds. First time I watch the over all edit then the other two are watching nothing but one build at a time. the wood choices are always top notch so I may be getting jaded as I don't say much specific about them anymore. Now days its more wanting a better match between my video settings and your camera settings to see more details like the flame in Todds build better. Gios edits seem to have that old school look of a light sepia filter so some light and more subtle colors don't show up as nice as they are in real life I am sure. But that is what happens when you get this close to perfect builds. The nitpick about outside influences start to show. Thats how you know you are an accomplished builder hahah.
I'm glad you're that way Bill and I listen! I really appreciate that you would watch the video 3 times. If I didn't know better, I'd say you are our first "Super Fan"😅 Anyway, Thank you so much my brother. Peace & Love
Bill! Another invaluable comment my friend, thanks. You’re right my lack of video know how is not particularly helpful. We do what we can my friend and I do try to get these things as good as I can. A lot of my issue is that I have a lot of natural light that floods in from the left and bounces off the OSB that’s all around the walls. I will at some point have to invest in more pro level cameras and software but for right now that’s not on the cards. I’ll need to sell a few more guitars first!
@@TornelliGuitars Oh don't take that as a slight my friend. That adds a unique atmosphere and enhances the charm of what you do. Highlights the old school "build with intention, produce perfection" method you work by. That actually aids the calmness and serenity of your videos. If you want to make changes based on my old eyes and warped perception of things simply take your builds out into that bright natural light for the final "Beauty" shots. No need for expensive new gear use what you got to its fullest. Even cellphones these days are more than good enough to do anything with detail justice.
Wow guys! Every video you both make I think you can't top this. And here you both are killing it. These two peaces of art are stunningly beautiful and so different. It's great to see how you guys drive eachother to higher levels. Please keep on doing these video's. And by the way, all te talking about the sounds of your guitars makes me very curious. Peace and love to you both.
Thanks once again Jan! We definitely are always aware that the other person will be doing their best work and that does motivate you to consider each part of the build carefully, it’s a great way to keep focus! I can’t wait for the sound demo either. 👍
Hey There, Todd. This must be one of the sexiest electrics I've seen so far. I also love P90s. And Gio's is also right up my alley - classy woods and not toomuch bling-bling.
Thank you so much Gabi! I'm glad you like this guitar. It is one of my favorites as well and I also absolutely love Gio's guitar and I've always been a fan of the P90 grit!!✌️&💙
I love both heals. I'd never thought about a stacked heal until I saw what Tye (Shock the Fox) does. But Todd's is nice and clean too. Awesome job guys.
Thanks brother. I'm glad you like the heel carve on mine. I debated that for so long. Cutting the binding caused me much grief but it's so much better the way it is now and the first thing I thought of when Gio said he was stacking his heel, was Tye. What a killer look!✌️🤍
Guys what a beautiful pair of guitars. What I love is that you both have your own style and each is immediately recognisable. Another really enjoyable episode. 😊
Thanks brother. What a cool thing to say. I've been exploring with every build to find my "Style" I'm so glad that's happening. It's hard to gauge that over a long period or time. I'm really glad you like the guitars man. Peace & Love
Awesome guitars guys! I am a sucker for natural woods too. I also love the pearl knob Schaller tuners too. I put a set on my Hagstrom 12 string back in 1979 or 80, just beautiful! Great work guys, can't wait to hear those 2 works of art. in the next video! Thanks for sharing! (Love the out takes at the end too! It's like a Burt Reynolds or Jackie Chan movie) LOL!
Thanks brother. We had a really great time doing this and I really feel like we're coming into our own with these things. I love Schaller Hardware and it seems they've discontinued the Davinci tuners😭 I try and always use high quality hardware and not much compares to the quality of the German made stuff. Thank you so much for the comment and the view! Glad you enjoyed the video✌️🤍
it wouldn't be the same if there wasn't some pencil talk at the end ahah! love both of these builds guys you've both done amazing guitars as always, so pleased to hear that were getting sound demos of them, and next video I want to see if Todd is quite as masterful as Gio with juice box opening skills 🤣
Im glad you caught that man. I laughed so hard the first time I saw that! Thank you so much for the comment man and I'm really glad you enjoyed the video. ✌️🤍
Fantastic video. Stunning instruments. Also loved whatever that first tune in the build montage, sounded as if the allman bros were playing over a beatles progression. You're the best Todd.
I thought exactly the same thing about the music. That's why I chose that😀. Thank you so much my friend. I'm really glad you enjoyed the video and I'm also way glad you like the guitars. ✌️🤍
I echo what Gio said. There are possibilities we have discussed and we are both brimming with ideas. It could happen and very well may!! Thank you so much Cliff. You are always kind and gracious in your comments and I'm so glad you enjoyed the builds!! ✌️🤍
Those are a pair of beauties. I have an idea for your next colab. Listening to Gio talk about how he over plans, and Todd say he doesn't plan; I remembered the videos that really got me watching Ben in the first place, the 12 and 9 hour builds. Start with hardware, and lumber you have on hand, no design in hand, just a blank sheet to draw on if you want to, a good supply of coffee, and a running clock. Live stream? Ben often says his favorite guitar is the 12hr, and it's one of mine too. I was in a hotel with the flu. I'd seen the Grace Kelly inlay video, and YT served up the 12 hr build. I wasn't going to sleep much anyway, so I clicked on the first episode at 9 pm. A lot of coffee later, there I was at 9 am watching him play it. I knew nothing about guitar building and, at first, I was just fascinated to see how one was made. As I've gotten to know Ben along the way, it was amazing to see him create on the fly, yet have to edit himself under the constraint of the clock. It was an interesting mix of the artist in Ben who wants to do MORE, and the efficiency of a pro at work as he just let his hands, tools, and experience do a lot of the thinking, and got it done. I think a timed challenge would perhaps push both of you, in different ways, to meet at the intersection of art and engineering. Anyway, this was a cool series, and have fun pluggin' in!
That's a great idea. We'll have to have a chat about that. I feel the same about Ben as you and he is one of the main people I chose to learn from in the beginning. I miss those days! I really appreciate the time you have taken to suggest a collaboration idea for us. Thank you so much. Peace & Love
My goodness that is an interesting suggestion! I think Todd would fare so much better than me!🤣 🤣 I don’t think I could get halfway through a neck in 12 hours either. However that is a really interesting concept, maybe we’ll have a chat about how to do something along those lines. I’ve saved the comment! 👍
Thanks brother. It was a requirement of the collaboration! No color. I really love how they both turned out. I'm glad you like the guitars and the video!✌️🤍
Hey guys, wow, both guitars are awesome and are both worthy of the GGBO and to purchase, that is if you ever decide to let go of them...lol. Gio, you killed me with the way you opened that juice box. At first, I was wondering what in the world did you have and what did it have to with guitar building and then it hit me, what a jokester. You guys are really having fun. Great work!
Thank you so much. I love feeling like I'm getting better as a builder. I find it so rewarding and it's nice to hear that is recognized!! Thank you my friend. ✌️🤍
Great job both of you!!! I really like both guitars, two very different, but classic beauties. At one point during the build montage, I was really trying to figure out what new fangled jig he was working on and how it would be incorporated into the build, until I realized it was a juice box. 🤣🤣🤣 You both are so entertaining! Keep it up.
i've been enjoying this buildoff. guitars are super. both of them. one suggestion, Todd - while you are offline, maybe hold your guitar or a piece of wood up as though you are showing us the detail, then look at how it looks to the viewer. too much fast movement makes us get dizzy, and the wrong distance makes it blurry.
I understand what you mean but as I said in a previous video, I am starting to finally alter the settings in my Camera and change my lighting to get better results on the videos. I see a marked improvement in the footage as far as color depth and contrast but I do know there are still things that need work. I will never stop trying to improve and will take your advice into consideration as I make these changes!✌️🤍
Thank you!! We enjoyed doing this together and have many more plans involving us doing builds and other things guitar related together!! We both really appreciate the support and the kind words!!✌️🤍
Two stunningly beautiful guitars there. Love them both. Can't wait to hear them both also... In todays market, do you ever put a value on these instruments? .... To me ( as they say,) they both look like a million bucks....Cheers. Mike. 👍🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
I think about that all the time. Honestly when I do start selling my guitars which I'm anxious to do, I want to be able to offer them at an affordable price that a player can afford. That's as important to me and anything else. I love this and sharing my love for guitars and building them is what is at the core of this for me. I think you know that my brother. Thank you so much for the comment and for your support over the past few years!✌️🤍
Sorry about that Tod. Money should not come into it I know. They are piece of art , just like my own collection. Some I play little and look at a lot.. :) While watching, I heard myself saying, Jeez, they look like a million bucks, and that started me off. Appologies to you both. ( insert slap on hand emoji here....) . Love the out takes again....Mike.
That is a great question Mike and a very difficult one to answer! I struggle with pricing more than anything else but I also would like to offer guitars an non ‘eye watering’ prices. I’ll have to decide by the time we do the demo because it will go up for sale on my website but I build for the love of it not for money, so that has to be factored in. 😀👍
Both of those guitars are beauties!!! I especially like the way that curly maple just pops. I can't wait to see the next build! All the best, brothers!!!
I think you both built a couple of pieces of art but me being here in NC I feel like Tod is my neighbor and I have always been in love with his work since I seen it from day 1 so I am going to have to stick with my neighbor but like I sId I would be proud to own either one. BEST OF LUCK MY FRIENDS.
@TornelliGuitars hey I didn't mean no disrespect but I have been loving Todd's work ever since I first seen one of his builds and he's my neighbor,but I did love your guitar to I would consider myself lucky if owned something you or Todd built after seeing your build I do have to say you do build a beautiful guitar.
@@darrell5228 I was totally kidding my friend! 😂 We really appreciate your support and part of the enjoyment is seeing which one appeals to different people! 👍
Yes! 5 coats Starbond extra thin And 5 coats of Heavy Thin. I sanded in between coats with progressively finer grits starting at 1200! I will use that method again! ✌️🤍
I use OSMO Extra thin wood wax #1104 for penetrating first coats then I switch to Poly-x oil in whatever sheen I want. I love OSMO above all other oil finishes. Thank you so much for the comment. ✌️🤍
I think both of those are some of my favourite shapes that each of you have done. But more importantly Gio, what size drill bit did you use and did it affect the flavour? 🤔
I laughed so hard when I saw that😂 Completely unexpected and just hilarious. Thank you brother. That's high praise from a builder I have so much respect for. ✌️🤍
🤣 1.2 mm bit and the 4mm reamer! A bit metallic tasting but that’s the cost of precision working!🤣🤣 Thanks so much for the feedback on the shape, this was a new design for me and I’m really loving it. Todd’s design looks great too, I love it!
They're Kluson Deluxe Top Locking Tuners product # KDL-6B in Black! Hope that helps. There's a lot going on when we do this and it's easy to get caught up in the moment, which is actually why we both do this. Those moments are worth celebrating to us and it's sometimes hard to keep everything in check. I'm sure you know this, I just thought I'd point out that we are getting better at the videos and will continue to do everything we can to improve both the videos and the guitars themselves. Like everything, it's a learning experience 😀✌️🤍
Wow Todd! What a beauty. Good work! Sadly i hadnt time to follow all Videos. But it looks very great. Good work.
Thank you so much. I'm glad you like the guitar and I appreciate the support and your time! Peace & Love
Those are some handsome guitars gents ❤
Thank you Laurel! 👍
Thank you. We had a blast making them! I'm glad you like the guitars! Peace & Love
WOW!! You guys Rock!!
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Peace & Love
Thanks again buddy!😀👍
Both are beautiful guitars.
Thankyou! 😀👍

Lol I wish I could buy both but sadly they will both be a long way out of my budget atm, and for good reason. But I’m saving up slowly with the hope to one day get a custom build (or maybe two 😁 ) and I certainly know where to look when I do.
Damn gentlemen, amazing guitars.

(Love the out takes at the end too! It's like a Burt Reynolds or Jackie Chan movie) LOL!
Thanks brother. We had a really great time doing this and I really feel like we're coming into our own with these things. I love Schaller Hardware and it seems they've discontinued the Davinci tuners😭 I try and always use high quality hardware and not much compares to the quality of the German made stuff. Thank you so much for the comment and the view! Glad you enjoyed the video✌️🤍
🤣 thanks buddy, we’re looking forward to the sound demo too 👍
WOW , you guys , they are amazing , it's always a pleasure watching both of you
Pair of cracking guitars!
Ps I'm the same Todd, never plan a thing lol
Tis the way of things my friend😂✌️🤍
Thanks Niel, and you’re clearly more imaginative then me in that case! 😂
Such a great job my man!!! The attention to detail and comfort A+. You guys did such a great job.
Thanks for leaving such a kind comment!👍
Thanks brother. It's so much fun and really pushes me to be my best!!✌️🤍
Don't know what I like more - these stunning axes or the brilliant personalities who built them. So enjoyable.
What a nice thing to say brother. Thank you!!✌️🤍
@@SweetTGuitars Instant sub, my friend. Will be checking in often. Binge-watching begins today... ✌😸
it wouldn't be the same if there wasn't some pencil talk at the end ahah! love both of these builds guys you've both done amazing guitars as always, so pleased to hear that were getting sound demos of them, and next video I want to see if Todd is quite as masterful as Gio with juice box opening skills 🤣
Im glad you caught that man. I laughed so hard the first time I saw that! Thank you so much for the comment man and I'm really glad you enjoyed the video. ✌️🤍
🤣🤣 Todd can’t hang with my juice box opening skills!
Fantastic video. Stunning instruments. Also loved whatever that first tune in the build montage, sounded as if the allman bros were playing over a beatles progression. You're the best Todd.
I thought exactly the same thing about the music. That's why I chose that😀. Thank you so much my friend. I'm really glad you enjoyed the video and I'm also way glad you like the guitars. ✌️🤍
He is indeed the best!😀👍
Wow!! Beautiful guitar’s guys!! I’m in love with both of them. Each one is unique in its own way. Well done guys😊😊
Thank you my love. I'm glad you love the guitars babe. ✌️🤍
Absolutely superb builds from you both. Stunning guitars.
Is this the birth of Sweet Tornelli Guitars?
🤣 well we have discussed co designing a guitar and doing our own take on the exact same design! So who knows 😀👍
I echo what Gio said. There are possibilities we have discussed and we are both brimming with ideas. It could happen and very well may!! Thank you so much Cliff. You are always kind and gracious in your comments and I'm so glad you enjoyed the builds!! ✌️🤍
Todd, I'm SUPER impressed with how you tapered the binding into the heel carve! VERY cool idea!
I have ended up loving that too. Thanks brother. ✌️🤍
If these guitars sound as good as they look, all I can say is WOW! Great contrast in styles and design, yet both so beautiful!! Well done, guys!
Thanks brother. I'm glad you like them. I can't wait to plug mine in. Coming soon. ✌️🤍
Thanks once again Cal, I can’t wait to ruin some classic rock riffs in the demo 😂😂
Those are a pair of beauties. I have an idea for your next colab. Listening to Gio talk about how he over plans, and Todd say he doesn't plan; I remembered the videos that really got me watching Ben in the first place, the 12 and 9 hour builds. Start with hardware, and lumber you have on hand, no design in hand, just a blank sheet to draw on if you want to, a good supply of coffee, and a running clock. Live stream?
Ben often says his favorite guitar is the 12hr, and it's one of mine too. I was in a hotel with the flu. I'd seen the Grace Kelly inlay video, and YT served up the 12 hr build. I wasn't going to sleep much anyway, so I clicked on the first episode at 9 pm. A lot of coffee later, there I was at 9 am watching him play it.
I knew nothing about guitar building and, at first, I was just fascinated to see how one was made. As I've gotten to know Ben along the way, it was amazing to see him create on the fly, yet have to edit himself under the constraint of the clock. It was an interesting mix of the artist in Ben who wants to do MORE, and the efficiency of a pro at work as he just let his hands, tools, and experience do a lot of the thinking, and got it done.
I think a timed challenge would perhaps push both of you, in different ways, to meet at the intersection of art and engineering.
Anyway, this was a cool series, and have fun pluggin' in!
That's a great idea. We'll have to have a chat about that. I feel the same about Ben as you and he is one of the main people I chose to learn from in the beginning. I miss those days! I really appreciate the time you have taken to suggest a collaboration idea for us. Thank you so much. Peace & Love
My goodness that is an interesting suggestion! I think Todd would fare so much better than me!🤣 🤣 I don’t think I could get halfway through a neck in 12 hours either. However that is a really interesting concept, maybe we’ll have a chat about how to do something along those lines. I’ve saved the comment! 👍
The pebble is in the pond, the ripples are spreading, my work here is done.
Two beautiful builds! Allowing the wood to show in it's natural glory was a great choice. Well done Guys.
Thanks brother. It was a requirement of the collaboration! No color. I really love how they both turned out. I'm glad you like the guitars and the video!✌️🤍
Thanks, it was great to go with a natural oil finish on these 👍
Stunning guitars fellas
Watched this when it came out but didn’t comment
Hey guys, wow, both guitars are awesome and are both worthy of the GGBO and to purchase, that is if you ever decide to let go of them...lol.
Gio, you killed me with the way you opened that juice box. At first, I was wondering what in the world did you have and what did it have to with guitar building and then it hit me, what a jokester.
You guys are really having fun. Great work!
I'm so glad you got a laugh out of that. I did too. Thank you so much for the comment man and for the view.✌️🤍
😂 Thanks my friend!👍
The skillset you guys have is incredible. Both guitars are beautiful instruments.
Thank you so much. I love feeling like I'm getting better as a builder. I find it so rewarding and it's nice to hear that is recognized!! Thank you my friend. ✌️🤍
Thanks for the kind comment!👍
Both look phenomenal. Todd the back of yours is better than most tops!
That's what Gio said. I didn't want the busy look of that Wenge grain on the front but yeah, It's a really cool piece of wood. Thank you. ✌️🤍
great guitars!!! I love both❤
Thank you brother. ✌️🤍
Thanks buddy, we appreciate it!👍
Great job both of you!!! I really like both guitars, two very different, but classic beauties. At one point during the build montage, I was really trying to figure out what new fangled jig he was working on and how it would be incorporated into the build, until I realized it was a juice box. 🤣🤣🤣 You both are so entertaining! Keep it up.
Thanks brother Dave. Wasn't the juice box thing so funny!! Completely unrehearsed😂😂😂✌️🤍
🤣🤣 I thought it was time I lightened up a bit! I always seem serious because I’m concentrating but it looks like I’m miserable most of the time!😂
i've been enjoying this buildoff. guitars are super. both of them.
one suggestion, Todd - while you are offline, maybe hold your guitar or a piece of wood up as though you are showing us the detail, then look at how it looks to the viewer.
too much fast movement makes us get dizzy, and the wrong distance makes it blurry.
I understand what you mean but as I said in a previous video, I am starting to finally alter the settings in my Camera and change my lighting to get better results on the videos. I see a marked improvement in the footage as far as color depth and contrast but I do know there are still things that need work. I will never stop trying to improve and will take your advice into consideration as I make these changes!✌️🤍
Awesome guys! Looking forward to hearing how they sound like.
Ps. P90 for ever
Absolutely. I love p90's. Thank you brother. ✌️🤍
Thanks I can’t wait to do the sound demo for these either!👍
Both utterly beautiful. And stunning. Well done boys ❤️👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it and I'm sure Gio feels the same. We had a blast and are doing the next one soon!✌️🤍
Thanks for the great comment!👍
2 stunning and creative guitars!
Thank you!! We enjoyed doing this together and have many more plans involving us doing builds and other things guitar related together!! We both really appreciate the support and the kind words!!✌️🤍
Two stunningly beautiful guitars there. Love them both. Can't wait to hear them both also... In todays market, do you ever put a value on these instruments? .... To me ( as they say,) they both look like a million bucks....Cheers. Mike. 👍🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
I think about that all the time. Honestly when I do start selling my guitars which I'm anxious to do, I want to be able to offer them at an affordable price that a player can afford. That's as important to me and anything else. I love this and sharing my love for guitars and building them is what is at the core of this for me. I think you know that my brother. Thank you so much for the comment and for your support over the past few years!✌️🤍
Sorry about that Tod. Money should not come into it I know. They are piece of art , just like my own collection. Some I play little and look at a lot.. :) While watching, I heard myself saying, Jeez, they look like a million bucks, and that started me off. Appologies to you both. ( insert slap on hand emoji here....) . Love the out takes again....Mike.
That is a great question Mike and a very difficult one to answer! I struggle with pricing more than anything else but I also would like to offer guitars an non ‘eye watering’ prices. I’ll have to decide by the time we do the demo because it will go up for sale on my website but I build for the love of it not for money, so that has to be factored in. 😀👍
Did I just see someone drilling a hole in a soda can? 😅
It was a juice box😂 watch the part before that. Gio looks so serious man. I laughed so hard when I watched that the first time!✌️🤍
🤣🤣 juice box. It was a test to see who really watches it all 🤣🤣 you win!👍
Love out takes fellas😂! And both guitars are gorgeous. Learning things from your videos, so keep them coming
Thank you. I'm really glad you get something from the videos. It is the most important thing to me!✌️🤍
We will keep them coming! Thanks for the support 😀👍
Both of those guitars are beauties!!! I especially like the way that curly maple just pops. I can't wait to see the next build! All the best, brothers!!!
Thank you brother. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thank you so much for checking it out. ✌️🤍
Thanks my friend, I’m itching to get started on the next one now!
@@SweetTGuitarsYou mentioned the side dots glow blue. What did you use for that material?
@@bigkahuna100 I ordered this rod in 2 sizes from Skur Composites on Etsy. It looks like metal until you turn the lights out!
@SweetTGuitars Thank you! I think that is a brilliant idea, and it sounds amazing!
We've all got the box of shame where necks and failed parts go to sit and think about what they've done wrong!
The growth of mine has slowed down but it's always there looking at me! Reminding me of what not to do😂✌️🤍
We do indeed!😂
I think you both built a couple of pieces of art but me being here in NC I feel like Tod is my neighbor and I have always been in love with his work since I seen it from day 1 so I am going to have to stick with my neighbor but like I sId I would be proud to own either one. BEST OF LUCK MY FRIENDS.
Thanks brother. We are both just so happy to be doing this together but I am really glad you like mine the best!! Neighbors indeed!✌️🤍
Darn, now I’m going to have to find out how to block your comments! 🤣🤣 thanks for the support my friend 👍
@TornelliGuitars hey I didn't mean no disrespect but I have been loving Todd's work ever since I first seen one of his builds and he's my neighbor,but I did love your guitar to I would consider myself lucky if owned something you or Todd built after seeing your build I do have to say you do build a beautiful guitar.
@@darrell5228 I was totally kidding my friend! 😂 We really appreciate your support and part of the enjoyment is seeing which one appeals to different people! 👍
I'm TeeFetch and I approve of this message.
Nice! Thank you!✌️🤍
Very interesting 🤔
We thought so! I hope this shows you that my IG account is no longer compromised😂!
And can i just commend Gio for over engineering a solution to his juice box.... that made me laugh hard!!! 😂
🤣🤣 👍
It made me laugh too. I hope that gives you an idea what I'm up against when I do these things with Gio🤣
Great guitars guys - really enjoyed this build series - what grit paper were you using when applying the oil Gio - Cheers from Canada
Thanks Dan! I was using 2000 grit 👍
thanks for the reply Gio!!@@TornelliGuitars
Thank you my Canadian brother. We're happy with the results. Glad you like them too!✌️🤍
Hey Gio, what are you running for an amp?
You did a beautiful job on that build!
Thanks Jackson, I really appreciate it my friend, I have a Vox AC15 (Celestion Greenback version).
@TornelliGuitars very nice!
2:33 superglue?
Yes! 5 coats Starbond extra thin And 5 coats of Heavy Thin. I sanded in between coats with progressively finer grits starting at 1200! I will use that method again! ✌️🤍
I was joking about Gio's drink 🤪
🤣🤣 👍
You said you use osmo wood wax! Which one did you used?? Great build from both of you btw !!! :)
I use OSMO Extra thin wood wax #1104 for penetrating first coats then I switch to Poly-x oil in whatever sheen I want. I love OSMO above all other oil finishes.
Thank you so much for the comment. ✌️🤍
@@SweetTGuitars I’ll try that for my next build for sure !! 😊
I think both of those are some of my favourite shapes that each of you have done. But more importantly Gio, what size drill bit did you use and did it affect the flavour? 🤔
I laughed so hard when I saw that😂 Completely unexpected and just hilarious. Thank you brother. That's high praise from a builder I have so much respect for. ✌️🤍
🤣 1.2 mm bit and the 4mm reamer! A bit metallic tasting but that’s the cost of precision working!🤣🤣 Thanks so much for the feedback on the shape, this was a new design for me and I’m really loving it. Todd’s design looks great too, I love it!
sorry, but Gio clearly (or unclearly) did not see those tuners at this time. no way, they were so blurred out.
😂 We exchange pictures before the vid because it’s difficult to see any detail on the call! Sorry they were out of focus.
They're Kluson Deluxe Top Locking Tuners product # KDL-6B in Black! Hope that helps. There's a lot going on when we do this and it's easy to get caught up in the moment, which is actually why we both do this. Those moments are worth celebrating to us and it's sometimes hard to keep everything in check. I'm sure you know this, I just thought I'd point out that we are getting better at the videos and will continue to do everything we can to improve both the videos and the guitars themselves. Like everything, it's a learning experience 😀✌️🤍
