The tortoiseshell binding went better with the blue top than I might have expected-a surprisingly nice combination. I also appreciated the “Five Stages of Carving a Volute”
Ahaha. My thinking behind the tortoise binding, I'll admit, was to recreate the teal and orange combination people are after in photo/videography. I think it came out nice but I'm biased :)
Having your daughter help you at times is adorable. You do fantastic work and every guitar I have watched you build is great looking and they sound great as well. This one is no exception great guitar.
I am not a luthier, I just play them, but man, mad respect to you. It looks like a tremendous amount of work and love goes into your guitars. Even though I don't own one of them, thanks for spending time making them great.
it's overwhelming how you let your daughter be part of the building process. I think she is a lucky girl and you are a lucky father. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Les remarques de la petite sont trop trop chou ! Le "ooooooh c'est joli !" plein d'admiration pour le travail de son papa m'a filé un sourire jusqu'aux oreilles ! Et quant au travail : juste exceptionnel !
I love you let your daughter help. Reminds me of when my daughter was so much younger and wanted to be involved with everything I did. I loved her interest and wanting to learn.
Absolute build perfection and what an amazing apprentice you have. Thank you for letting us glimpse into your world, it had a peaceful, calming feeling.
It is wonderful to see you let your daughter be involved. Those will be the memories the both you will keep forever. The best gift from a papa to his child.
Beautifully done!! And teaching that lovely girl of yours how to do it right at such a young age is priceless! Thank you for the video and tutorial on guitar building and how to lovingly raise a child.
This reminds me of the happy times with my daughter when she was of a similar age. I was always building *something*, and she and her brother were always involved.
It’s been a very challenging week and this video brought me a lot of comfort and a moment to just enjoy a great build. Thanks. I appreciate it. Looking forward to the next one.
- "Ca veut dire quoi 'poncer' ?" - "Ca veut dire qu'on va enlever ton dessin.." - "HEIN ?!?" Ahahahah Excellent boulot au passage, comme d'habitude Ce manche flammé 'roasted', ce frettage sorti des enfers.. Magnifique
You’re such an inspiration. I had always wanted to make my own guitar and now, thanks to your tele build videos, I’ve finally started. I can’t wait for your next build…. I think I know what it is😁
Beautiful work. I love that your little one got to help. She will have a special appreciation for art and many other things that she might later wish to own because of her exposure to how much time and effort it takes to make those things. Maybe she will one day even join you and become a luthier. En tout cas, merci et bonne chance !
Well done! Having made a few solid body guitars myself, I can appreciate all of the work that you put into your amazing guitars! Love how you constructed that scarf joint! Also, adding that edge binding was a nice touch! Great work & great sounding guitar! Looking forward to your next build... 🎸🎸👍👍
These videos have actually helped me a lot when it comes to figuring out how to build my own guitar. I’ve been working on it for over three years now, so it’s relieving to know that I’ll be able to do the neck semi easily once I have the correct tools to do so. Keep up the incredible work!
You have given me so much inspiration and motivation to finally start my own guitar! I will be starting on it sometime in the following weeks. Your videos are always so calming, insightful, engaging, and its adorable when your daughter comes to help. Keep up the good work!
I simply love that distorsion. The blend mode is amazing because it gives me the opportunity to have a saturated sound mixed with a second tone having a more defined sound with a distinct attack. As with every distorsion pedal it has its limitation I guess but I'm very happy with this purchase !
fantastic as always and I might have to steal that teal and tortoise shell combination. Just wondering if you had any reccomendations as to the body carve on a hollowbody build. In your shelf guitar video I noticed you drilled depth holes on one side and routed the other, was there a specific reason for this or was it just experimentation, in which case, which would you reccomend? Cheers mate, can't wait for that next build!!
It's hard to explain because of the way I edited the montage but basically I tried both methods, one on each plate (for the face side at least). For the inner side you just HAVE to drill depth stops :)
Beautiful, simply beautiful! When played clean that guitar has such such a hollow body tone. Yet with lots of gain it is very even and smooth. The laser work for the make and back of headstock information adds a nice touch. You pick the right pickups and hardware. So many fine details I could go on and on. Thanks for sharing!!
Another amazing guitar build!! Always a pleasure to see your little helper putting her touch on her father's masterpiece!! Thanks for sharing the love my brother 🙏
I love a guitar with a medium to thin neck with a nice volute. Not because it protects against neck breaks, because it doesn't, but because I put my thumb on it while playing open chords and it feels nice. Great video, thanks for filming and sharing. Gorgeous guitar!
Stunning finished product. Looks like a lot of work, but we'll worth it. Sounded great as well, you are a true craftsman. Also love that you got your daughter involved. Thank you for sharing!
C'est toujours aussi bien que ce soit la vidéo, l'ambiance rendu au montage, l'instrument (magnifique...MAGNIFIQUE !!!) avec en plus une sérénité et un apaisement très méditatif. Encore bravo et encore merci !!!
This is my type of guitar body through and through. Not my style normally, but this came out beautiful and anyone would be lucky to have an instrument like this for themselves. outstanding
What a dream it would be to be able to do that. I spent too much time playing. I started as a drummer . Then I had to learn how to play. I could feel the instrument before actually learning how to play. It took over my thoughts for years. But this! ! Amazing. And there’s no doubt of your love for the instrument! thanks. Rock on
Je suis admiratif ! Il y a certes tout l’outillage pour bien faire, mais il y a surtout la touche de l’artiste authentique. Merci à vous pour le partage de ces moments de pure qualité.
EVERY TIME I watch one of your videos I see so much cool, simple shit that I'm shocked I didn't think of. I just did my first laminate neck-through glue-up last night and spread the glue around with a plastic scraper, which works fine, but left a bunch dripping over the edges. I see you using a roller and I'm smacking my forehead with my palm! SO SIMPLE!

Can you do led light on fretboard?
I don't know I've never tried. I can't change a lightbulb without fearing for my life, that goes to show the extend of my knowledge in electricity.

And then SHE will be the one qui va poncer TON dessin :-D :-D
I am pretty sure he is already a proud papa.

No kids for me please.
Gorgeous looking guitar and your little girl's reaction to sanding out her art was priceless :)
she REALLY was upset :p
@@tchiksguitars Haha it seems that you misled her on what les règles du jeu were.
why did you remove the art work that was a masterpiece
It’s nice seeing somebody build a guitar that actually has a nice shape to it but still being completely unique
Thanks !
This guy’s a beast for building a great guitar in less than 20 minutes

Just love the guitar. Laser etching - way cool. Color is perfect!
This guitar looks absolutely beautiful. Amazing to see it coming together.
Thanks !
The stain is amazing, that section is my favorite!
I’m starting a bass build today! Thanks for the ‘how to build a guitar’ tutorial! It will be super helpful!!
Woohoo ! If it's a P or PJ bass, it's more or less the same as a tele :)
SAME !
AND I'M GONNA MAKE PROTOTYPES FOR A NEW INVENTION !!
@@tchiksguitars it’s a pj bass!
Beautiful! Love seeing kids in the shop! Tones are amazing!
thank you! Warms my heart that you say that, I love the sound on this guitar

thank you so much, I really get the feeling, I also watch soothing videos after a week of stress :) means a lot to me, thanks again!
Beautiful video, beautiful family, beautiful guitar. You're succeeding at life!
Another amazing build my friend! As always, your humour and little family moments really make your videos so much fun too 😊
Thank you !
Felt a little down today but seeing you and your daughter building this guitar really cheered me up
Hope you get better ! Tomorrow is another day

Good luck and have fun with your build ! People have sent me their builds on Instagram, they're amazing and I know yours will be good too
It must be wonderful to have such a life. Money, tools,, the best materials, and the time to build at such a young age.
I admit, I was looking forward to hearing the riff most of all :D it's a beautiful guitar.
Yeah I thought of you guys when I recorded it. " Must - not - disappoint "
Beautiful, I felt your passion and the build was near perfection. Bravo!
Beautiful, an absolute work of art.👌🏻
thanks!

I just finished my first guitar build today. Thanks for the help and inspiration.
Congrats ! Glad I helped :)
Incredible build! That blue looks so good. Glad to see you went with the Pugilist distortion too. you'll have to let me know what you think!
I simply love that distorsion. The blend mode is amazing because it gives me the opportunity to have a saturated sound mixed with a second tone having a more defined sound with a distinct attack. As with every distorsion pedal it has its limitation I guess but I'm very happy with this purchase !
