.... I have followed a few of the 2021 Build off Guitars.... got to say.... THIS is the one I want if given the choice!
That is SO INCREDIBLY COOL of you to say! Thank you! Cheers!
I'm in full agreement. Dude, you effing KILLED IT!
@@zrpcguitars6027 thank you so much! 🤘
yeah looks supercool
Amazing build Tye, bring on the Demo!
Hells yeah! Let’s get this thing in the hands of someone that knows what to do!
Absolutely beautiful. If I was a rich man, NOBODY would outbid me for this guitar.
That’s incredibly cool of you to say! Cheers!
Your Kids are right, you are Cool!!! That is one Awesome guitar. It's just the perfect set up. Simple, yet well made and thought out. The mammoth tooth inlays and the burst just screen Classic heavy rock band! Love it and I hope you win!
Thank you! I’m so happy you picked up on all the details. The mammoth tooth was so long ago, that even I forget to mention sometimes.
Absolutely beautiful. Great job!
Thank you!
That is an amazing looking guitar.
Thank you very much!
The result of your work is fantastic. I like your obsessive care in building and the materials you use are truly excellent. Bravissimo!!!!!!!
Thank you very much for the compliment. It truly means a lot. I am truly “obsessive” and even borderline OCD with my builds, and I’m glad it comes through when you watch me work. Cheers!
Your Kids should proud of you. Congratulations on an exceptional build.
Thank you!
Beautiful looks and it sounds lovely . Best of luck in the competition!
Thank you! I truly appreciate it.
Stunning .I’m sure you will be in the final few. Very unique and cool build. And the burst, I’m lovin it
Thank you very much! My fingers are most definitely crossed.
Soooooo good!!! I love this guitar more each time I see it!
Thank you! This thing kicked my a$$, but I am incredibly happy with it. Cheers!
The grain burst is stunning!
Thank you very much!
Excellent build! Both idea with maple beams-stripes and proportions of the guitar.
Thank you very much!
Absolutely Stunning !!!! Beautiful work !!!
Thanks again for following along! I truly appreciate it. Cheers!
Absolutely beautiful
This is stunning, Tye. Well done!
Thank you, Chris! That means a lot!
Fantastic Man! Congrats!
Thank you!
I’ve commented it before, and I’ll say it again…that is the most unique and beautiful way to use flame maple I have ever seen. Most people would be horrified to cut up such a nice figured wood, but your design is out of this world. The guitar looks great in every way. What kind of tail piece/tremolo is that? Good luck!
Thank you again for the genuine compliment, I truly appreciate it. The bridge is a hipshot TOM (of course), and the tailpiece/trem is a Duesenberg Les Trem 2. It’s an awesome tremolo, and I actually built the guitar around it and the single nickel P90 from @rightoussoundpickups. The trem is similar to a bigsby in feel, but the engineering is out of this world.
This guitar is just stunning! Amazing job!
Thank you very much!
Brilliant Foxy Lady!!
Thank you! Cheers!
DUDE! GORGEOUS GUITAR!
What a stunning Guitar you've made ...
I'd be very happy to play your creation !
Fantastic.
Thank you very much!
I'm impressed... great job!
Thank you! Cheers!
This is incredibly fine work 😮
Hi, this guitar is an outstanding beauty! Just wish it would have more pickups! I would order one in this style, but more pickups! The top that you created is such a cool idea! And with the finish, it is just wow!!!
Love the neck and the headstock as well! I have rarely seen such a special beautiful look of any guitar! Congrats!
I have to say that is an awesome looking guitar, and the time and processes involved to create this beautiful thing is an effort to be extremely proud of
Thank you! That is awesome of you to notice and say. Cheers!
Amazing work, really nicely done! I especially love the wave of the fretboard end
You are the first one to compliment on that. That as one of the little details that made sense to me. Thank you!
Such an interesting spin on a classic and looks amazing. Great work mate, I'll be following your future builds.
Thanks! That’s incredibly cool of you to say…. I genuinely appreciate it.
Beautiful Guitar sir. Well done.
That is just a beautiful job you did bringing your vision together from start to finish. Looking forward to the video that showcases the guitar being played too. Congratulations !!
Thank you!
Absolute killer!
Thanks Brian! You are killer.
That is the most beautiful finish I've ever seen on a guitar.
This thing turned out absolutely insane
Thank you!🤘
This is fantastic build awesome work
Thanks! That’s very cool of you to say. Cheers!
Beautiful Guitar!!
Thank you very much!
Stunning man. What a beautiful guitar you built! Truly one of a kind. Very new idea's yet classic at the same time! Bravo!
Thank you! It’s tough (as you know) to innovate something with 6 strings. It’s like a car with 4 tires… how many versions can there truly be? The classics - always cool.
Awesome! This one gets my vote!!
Thanks Scott! That is incredibly cool of you to say. Cheers!
Looks beautiful man. Very nice result.
Thank you! That’s very cool of you to say.
que tremenda guitarra!!! sigue subiendo mas de tu trabajo, queremos verlo estoy seguro!
un abrazo desde Chile!
Muchas gracias! Tus cumplidos me inspiran. Cheers!
Friggin awesome dude
Thanks brother! 🤘
Beautiful work man, georgeus guitar!
Thank you very much!
Quite remarkable build and I love it.
Thank you very much! Cheers!
Love love LOVE this guitar! The face is sublime & the rest is off the chain as well. And you always have best back ground music of all the builders in GGBO! Wish you had time to do more videos!
Thank you Scott! You and me both. Cheers!
Outstanding work! Craftsmanship is absolutely amazing. Really gives me a sense of what goes into all the guitars I’ve played. Thank you
That is a really cool thing for you to say! Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome! Now I want one a pair full size humbuckers.
Very awesome my friend. That is one fine guitar! Good luck man.
Thanks Todd! That’s very cool of you to say.
That thing is amazing. Really makes me want to pick up a DIY kit just kind of get my feet wet in building and to see what I can do.
Thank you! Do it! Remember, you learn a little bit more on every one you do. Cheers!
Gorgeous
Thanks brother!
Awesome build! I believe you're the first I've seen yet, to do a "full boat" finish, very nice!
Thanks man! Cheers! 🤘
This one should win. Good luck!
Thank you, Miguel!
Wonderful optimization of a classic silhouette/style. Happens to be my favorite too. That's one beautiful instrument you've built, bravo dude!
Thanks John, and thank you for continuing to follow along. That is really cool of you! Cheers!
Seriously nice guitar man and a hugely enjoyable video!, great work!
Thank you!🤘
Looks great, really original way to use the flame top! 👍
Beautiful axe!
I love absolutely everything about this guitar from head to toe. That finish with the matching headstock is just breathtaking. Honestly one of the most stunning guitars I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing the process with us.
That’s a really incredible compliment! Thank you!
Gorgeous beautiful build brother it’s got Phil X written all over!!🙏
Thank you!
Dude, killer 🙌
Thank you!
@@shockthefox no no thank YOU!! :)
Most TH-cam Builders: "You can't get a good finish with rattlecans"
Shock the Fox: "Hold my beer"
Thank you! The “hold my beer” always makes me laugh.
It doesn't matter how you apply the finnish. Tha common factor all great finishes share is patience, not application!
Congrats. So cool looking.
Thanks again Knize! #11thfloorforever
@@shockthefox Ha. I guess I need to change my profile name to Young Knize. It's Tim not Colin, but I've heard plenty of stories about the 11th floor.
@@Potter1215 Tim… I should’ve known better. Colin probably doesn’t know I’m on TH-cam. 😆
Brilliant. That is all.
Thank you. Truly.
Beautiful guitar there bud, especially the veneer
Thank you Matthew! I appreciate it.
Well done. It's both original and beautiful and that's not easy these days.
Thank you! It’s tough not to venture far beyond what has worked for so long and make it original. The classic shapes will ALWAYS be cool. Add more strings, make it headless, add epoxy… I dig it when people do it well, I just like making small tweaks to what is easily recognized. Guitars and cars… originality gets more difficult all the time. Cheers!
So good… so so good! 🤤
Thank you! Really cool of you to say.
Love it
Thank you very much!
I’m dying for a LP Special DC right now. This thing would scratch that itch very hard!
The LPJ is such a simplistic guitar that it is cool. I tried to over complicate the simplicity… I friggin love this thing.
That top is so much cooler than the boring bookmatched ones everyone is selling.
Thank you! But trust me… it was tough to make the first cut… seriously.
Classy instrument.
Thank you!
amazing build :D
Thank you very much! 🤘
The top is so cool 👌👍
Thank you!🤘
That is one very pretty guitar!
Thank you very much! Cheers!
very cool guitar
Thank you!
What a beautiful guitar it will really help the charity it is being auctioned for 👍
Thank you!
Boy that’s one sexy instrument, the effect you got with the wood is on another level. My only gripe is the back plate against the dark back, but hey what do I know? Truly one of the most beautiful guitars I have ever seen. Well done Sir.
Cheers, and thank you very much! I’m glad you dig it.
Beautimas!!
Thank you!
Cool
Thank you family!
The level of OCD in this guitar is so satisfying. I'm so very happy to see a building having such attention to detail. Looking forward to seeing this one up for grabs....
Thank you for noticing…. My obvious OCD became incredibly helpful with this one. Details galore!!! Cheers!
Wow, that is a beautiful guitar. I would advice to make a dedicates spray booth with spray guns etc, and a pedestal buffer to get that PRS "dipped in glass' finish. This will sell!
Thank you! I make 10 guitars a year, and I don’t do spray finishes very often. I typically only do hand rubbed oil finishes. I will never be a production shop like PRS, but maybe someday I will have a booth - time will tell.
Soooooo coooool.
Thaaaaaank yoooou! 🤘
Damn, that’s an amazing piece of art! What kind of bridge/trem is that?
Thank you! It is a Deusenberg Les Trem 2. Very similar to a Bigsby from a feel perspective, but the engineering is over the top! Cheers!
Love a 'Rattle Can' Paint job !
People who bag it, just don't have the finesse or patience....
Thank you…, it truly kicked my ass. 😆
yup, I've had an accident. That finish wow
That’s funny! Cheers!
Outstanding build. Very impressed with the originality of maple top, headstock and control cover. 1st build? Na! You have some serious skills and vision. The only thing I would do differently, and this is just a difference in choice, is maybe fit a Seymour Duncan P-rail pickup. Otherwise, damn good build.
Thank you! I do about 5-10 builds per year - but I am DEFINITELY new to the the TH-cam process. I really dig p-rails, but I really wanted to try the nickel p-90 from @rightoussoundpickups, and I’m really glad I did. Cheers, and thanks for watching and for the suggestion.
Mantap..liar biasa
I kind of liked the satin finish
I WOULD HAVE A ONE 👏👏👏✌👌
🤘🤘🤘
You could try 610 F next time ) The guitar is outstanding. I'd like to play on a same.
oh man, I really wish I had the money to bid and purchase that gorgeous guitar, congratulations, take care.
Thank you! She was certainly a fun one to build.
@@shockthefox and to watch you do it
Lo sopebar p90 with metal cover
@@activese @rightoussoundpickuos p90 with a nickel plated cover - so cool!
What was that tune around 2:05? It sounds like a riff on "Dam that River" ... sounds awesome. And the guitar looks awesome. Nice to see it come together.
Thank you! And it does sound like that song!
A little like Anger Rising off Cantrell's solo CD..great build!
Hi, friend ❤💞💗I hope you're always happy.🎵🎶💃🥰⭐🍧🌽🍫🤳👍🏽⭐🎈🎈🎈
Thank you for your supporting 🙏💞
🤘
Cool Factor X100… This should be a production guitar, you’d sell the shit out of them…🤘🏼👍👊
Thanks again Mark for following along and for the amazing compliment(s)! I only build 10 per year, so I will never be a “production” shop. It takes too long to make these things as cool as I want them to be. Thanks again brother, I really appreciate it! Cheers!
Finishing is always the most time consuming and nervewracking part of the process for me. Sand just a little too hard on an edge and burn right through. I have done it more than once. Great job. I would encourage you to invest in a spray system for your lacquer spraying. It more than pays for itself after a just couple of bodies. Rattle cans aren't cheap and don't have the best coverage.Using a spray system gives better spray patterns and less waste.
Someday…. I typically only use hand-rubbed oil finishes, so this was a new adventure for me. Thanks again!
Yo!
Do you have a website? do you sell these off to the public? do you take orders? This is incredible!
Nice work! What material is the nut?
WOW! What kind of bridge tailpiece is that???? Please share....
Hipshot bridge, and Duesenberg Les Trem II tailpiece.
You have it in your name, shocking!
🤘
eagle abrasives?
how you like 'em?
I dig them. It was cool to not use water to level sand, and I was very happy with the result.
@@shockthefox i have some of that and the 1500-2500 grade stuff but u haven't tried it out yet, got the idea from highline guitars of course!
it looks like you didn't have to go through a lot of effort in painting or sanding it and the gloss looks great from what I can tell in the video.
i have to get started on my stuff but the humidity is killing me
@@kmatax9237 yeah… I have through 1500 in eagle abrasives, and then up to 8000 in the 3M wet/dry papers. After that… very little buffing was needed. And… I did wait 3 weeks for the lacquer to fully cure.
@@shockthefox cool! i have crystalac to try out and was conversing with another enthusiast about it, he even surprised me with a build that he did using crystalac and then he reliced it, it looked just as good as any nitro job!
Ahhh the unfurling of the tac cloth. It's a love hate for anyone who's ever used it 🙃
Mostly hate. 😆
I think you must learn how to play the guitar well because anyone that builds a guitar that beautiful, needs to enjoy playing it!!!!
I’m better at making them than playing them 😆. Thanks!
Spider-Man! Unremarkable...😐😐😐😐😐😐
