WOW! This is a true masterpiece! It was a real pleasure to watch all the episodes, your craftmanship is fashinating and also the knowledge about materials, elctronics and everything! Really impressive!
Thanks, really pleased you enjoyed it.
Awesome here, Fantastic Workmanship, Great Tone, I am Impressed, thanks for the video, Cousin Figel
I have thoroughly enjoyed this build!! Thank You from Texas, USA
Thoroughly enjoyed all 23 episodes. I just found your channel via the Firebird build (I just bought one). Beautiful guitar. You can be proud of your craftsmanship. ✌️🇦🇺
Thank you buddy, I really enjoyed that build and play that guitar quite a bit, still sounds great.
Turned out beautifully!! Sounds great as well. The middle pos is the best of both worlds. And the neck sounds like Clapton’s rolled back Cream tone. And the bridge, well we all need that screaming bridge to get our aggression out on. Nice job all around Patrick!
Thanks Dane, I think it has a nice ballance across the pickups, really happy wth it.
An absolute beauty and she‘s sounding great! 🤟
Thanks Manolo, I really happy with it and the feedback from other such as yourself :)
This was a fun series, nicely done sir, thanks for the entertainment!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :)
Sounded chimey unplugged. Always a great sign. Sounded killer plugged in. That chunky bridge sound was getting very near Ricky territory.
Loved the build mate. Very well done.
Thanks Dean. The first time I gave it a quick strum once it was tuned up I was pretty sure it was going to be nice. I'm really happy with the outcome on this one :)
Absolutely awesome series and stunning build. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching, really glad you enjoyed it. I play this one all the time, a really nice sounding guitar :)
Lovely guitar. Sounds good. Great series. Look forward to the next one...
Thanks Keith, first video of next build will be up on Monday evening...
Super Duda mate, you’ve inspired me to make a thinline type. I make a lot of Barncaster type teles but I’ve still not done a thinline. It’s been on my list for a long time so I’m now planning it for my next build. As soon as I’ve finished my current build, I’m on it. I’m also going to use nitro as the finishing product. I normally use a combination of oils for Barncasters or 2K for any high gloss finishes for more prestige builds. Thanks for the inspiration. 🤘😁🤘🎸
Great news, glad you have enjoyed this build and it makes me really happy to know I've inspired you to some degree.
Well done. Thanks from South Africa.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed :)
Fantastic job!
Definitely something to be proud of!
Thanks mate :)
This is a beautiful sounding guitar. The way it is chambered with the dual sound holes really makes it interestingly acoustic sounding. You could tell clearly if you couldn't see the instrument that this is not a slab body. I also appreciate the way you have documented all of the steps of your build, very helpful to all of us who want to build a tele from scratch. As far as the esthetics of the instrument goes, I think this is one of the nicest looking bursts I've ever seen. It transitions subtly and isn't overly dark on the borders. As well, I like your choice of top. Especially on a tele, tops that have too much figure in them I think are distracting. This one looks understated in the right way. Excellent work.
Thanks James, I love this guitar, as you say it has a great tone and it looks good to boot (it has an almost identical twin as well). I didn't want an overly fussy top but it does have some subtle flame in there. All in all very happy with it.
Congratulations on a fantastic build!! Really nice guitar! Gotta love tele's
Great job, and thanks for this series, I've really found it useful and entertaining.
Thanks Phil, really glad you've enjoyed it :)
You should be very proud of this guitar. Looks great, sounds great. Your craftsmanship and attention to detail was inspiring. I don't regret a single second I spent watching the series. I learnt heaps. Well done.
Thanks Daryl, I'm very happy with the thinline, it's one of my most used guitars. I'm really glad you enjoyed the series, that makes me happy :)
GREAT, all your steps shown here!!
Hope you found it useful :)
finally! excellent job! perfection takes time!
Thanks Ron, glad you've enjoyed it. I play this one most days, one of my favourites.
Wow, when you went to the neck pickup my earbuds almost melted. lol Incredible build. Incredible sound. Sounds like a classic tele only beefier. It's a tele that went on a weight training program, but didn't use PEDs. Alot of muscle, but all natural. Strong, powerful with loads of reserve. Going through all 23 videos was tedious at times, but the end product was worth another 23. Thank you for posting all of these. Really, really brilliant.
Thanks, this was one of my favourite builds, everything seemed to go right on it. I was really pleased with how this one came out, sounds and plays great. I use this one on a regular basis and it always brings a smile to my face. Thanks for staying the journey on this build and I hope the outcome made the effort worth it.

"I hope the outcome made the effort worth it."
Like I said, you could have taken 23 more and hearing the end result would have been worth it. Best sounding tele I've ever heard. Cheers from New Zealand. 🇳🇿.
I watched all 23 episodes and enjoyed watching them all, very much. Great work! 👍
Thanks, really pleased you have enjoyed them, it was a bit of a journeybut I'm happy with the outcome :)
One word.....SWEET!!!!!!!
Thanks Wayne :)
Looks and sounds great! Very well done!
Thanks Mr Waffles, I'm very happy with it.
Super build, class all the way.
Many thanks Philip, I've enjoyed the build :)
Looks and sounds good.
The single coil and humbucker sound really much alike, by which I mean they prove pickups are microphones that pick up the sound.
Thank you, I think the pickups are well suited to each other.
Looks amazing.. Still very honoured that you loaned me the original Patocaster for a live outing those few years ago.. great to see those skills on display!!
Hi Ralph, hope you are keeping well. I just hope the Patocaster was up to the job :) It might well be making an appearance soon ;)
@@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams the Patocaster was amazing!!
Well done a truly beautiful build! Hats off and can’t wait to see what is next! I’m sure it’s a firebird, because that is what I’m going to build next....
Thanks, next build is on the way. Can't say what it is but it's not a firebird. Would love to see your build.
great build cant wait for the next one ;)
Thanks Kris, it won't be a long wait. Starts on Monday :)
Great videos,thank you very much.
Very nice!! I really want a thinline with a snakehead neck!!
Thank you, I've seen some really nice snakehead teles. I do wonder how the headstock would effect the feel of the instrument.
Very good job, congratulation!
Thank you :)
It's been great watching your build, it's really a beautiful guitar. The guitar " Semi-Hollow bodied Tele w/ HB in the (N) " is definitely on my bucket list. If you ever decide to sell it, make sure you put me at the top of your list please. As I would love to be it's new owner !! Congratulations on such a successful build ... I really believe you hit it out of the park !! Thanks for sharing it w/ us.
Thanks for the kind words Jeff, no plans to sell at the moment but never say never :)
HI Patrick,There is something about a NEW guitar day. But you must be proud of the great guitar you have physically made your self
that is a triple bonus! Look forward to more like this!
Thanks John. Yes NGD is always special the these are just that bit more :)
Great job! Great tones!
Thanks Jeffrey, glad you liked it :)
The. Sound is definitely crisp and you get a bit of the hollow body sound.it looks gorgeous and like the rosewood fretboard standing out against the burst top. Well done !
Thanks Sal, I'm really pleased with it.
Well done !
Thanks Jeff, glad you enjoyed it :)
Well done! Thank you.
You are welcome and thanks for watching :)
Sounds great!
Thanks Sean :)
What a beautiful guitar; great build series. Looking forward to the next series.
Thanks Andrew, won't be long :)
Really looks amazing..!!..makes me want a tele.. great burst finish and that rosewood has nice deep color.. super job.. love the origin 20 also.. look forward to what's next..!!!
Thanks mate. The Origin 20 is a great amp for the money and much easier on the back than my JMP 100!!
Uhh,, fascinating build and process,!! Your technique is solid and reminds me of an Aussie builder ???? Fletcher??? Anyway very similar finishing technique with beautiful results. I,m surprised more builders don,t use the original snakehead tele neck! Three aside and direct pull! No need for string trees!! Mr. Fleatcher did a one piece snake head demo build that was incredible! Look him up! Very interesting! Like I said previously, a double cut tele with the snake head neck is my dream axe!!
Thanks buddy, very familiar with Fletcher guitars, it's a real pity he doesn't post much stuff on TH-cam any more.
@@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams yeah,,, my nickname is Buddy since childhood! My email is Buddypoor! I,m a drummer but love guitars and amps and play some. I use buddypoor because buddy rich is taken!! Yuck yuck!
Fantastic job, it came out beautifully! Sounds brilliant as well, such an enjoyable build. 😀
Thanks Bryan, I've really enjoyed this one :)
Beautiful! Amazing work. Looking forward to your entry for the build-off!
Thank you Michael :)
Really nice guitar! One of the better build series in a long time, and a great outcome. Looking forward to see more videos from you...
Thanks Johan, the next one starts on Monday ;)
Great Job! Thanks! Yo estoy tambien en el proyecto de realizar mi thinline.. muy agradecido por el gran aporte. Dios le bendiga!
gracias, feliz de que lo hayas disfrutado. Buena suerte con tu proyecto.
It's been a brilliant series. Sounds great!
Thanks Brian, I'm really glad you have enjoyed it.
well done Sir.
Turned out brilliant! Loving your channel and builds. Can't wait for GGBO 2021!
Thank you Chris, looking forward to GGBO myself :)
Sounds great! Been looking forward to hearing this for quite a while!
Thanks Chris, I'm really happy with how it's turned out.
Awesome
Thanks, glad you liked it.
Anyone would be proud to play it !@@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams
Lovely. Really enjoyed watching this build, a great job. You’ve inspired me, maybe this year maybe be the year I finally attempt my own. Maybe..
Go for it, you won't regret it :)
That is a great guitar! I've learnt a lot following your build that I'll be trying on my next build. Good luck in the GGBO.
Thank you :) Glad you are finding it useful.
Great stuff, looks and sounds really good. Definitely something to be proud of
Cheers, I love it :)
Congrats on finishing your build, looks and sounds great! You are the second channel I have found worth subscribing to.
Thank you for the kind words Robert, an honour indeed :)
It's been a journey! But finally looking and sounding good!
Ah yes, I've got plans for the GGBO2021 too. But not stressing over it too hard. I look forward to what you're going to come up with
Thanks Chris, It's been a long one but I'm really happy with it. Looking forward to seeing what you get up to in GGBO21 :)
Absolutely gorgeous ! Sounds as good as it looks. You’re attention to detail is impressive ! I’ll buy it. The finish videos are great, as is the finished finish. Took a while, worth the wait, a guitar that nice doesn’t happen overnight. Your patience also sets the bar quite high. I’m excited, for you.
Thank you very much, I really happy with how it turned out.
Followed the complete build on this Thinline. Exclnt presentation & well thought out craftsmanship throughout the whole processes. 5-star build 👍
Only one question is why you chose to go with a top-loader instead of using ferrules? I know how fun it can be drilling out the holes for the ferrules…lol
Thank you, very kind :) I loved this build and play the thinline most days. Regarding the toploader, it was as much about keeping a clean look on the back of the guitar. That said, drilling the ferrules can be a mission!!
@@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams
I know what you mean about having a ‘clean look’. I did a Tele build very similar to yours, except I had an access panel on the backside for ease of installing the electroniix. Didn’t want any screws showing., so used little neo magnets to secure the panel, I have to take the output Jack out to pop it off.
I chambered mine identical to yours’, but w/o f-holes. Flame maple top. Hum/single coil config. Did not make the neck though. Warmoth with Madrose board - boat V-neck.
I can appreciate your luv for woodworking & you’re VG at it!
Cheers 😎

@@Rich915 that's a sweet looking tele man, love the top.
Really good build and series looking forward to see you in the Great Guitar Build Off. Think you will need to go faster lol
Thanks Jim, yep goingto need to get a shift on :)
I may be wrong, but I thought you increased the bow in the next with your adjustment at 3:10m or does that truss rod work in reverse direction. Looks like a great end to the build. Thanks for sharing.
LOVE THE GUITAR &THE VIDEOS.
What was the final weight ?
Beautiful guitar...and as far as I can hear on the computer it really sounds great. Couple of questions - you seemed to just put in a couple of pickups you happened to have! I take it these are pups you are familiar with, but how much consideration did you give to choice of pups for this particular guitar? And are you happy to stick with them?
Thanks, I've used the bridge pickup a number of times so was pretty sure it would work here, the neck pickup is basically a PAF so should be nice in a mahogany/maple body. I'm happy with these in this guitar but I often try new stuff just to see if it works in a given situation.
@@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams Hi - thanks for your reply - good to hear you are pleased with your choice. I always find it difficult to know which pups to choose - mainly because I'm not a good player, and I don't play at much volume. I go more on recommendation, and budget! Cheers, look forward to next build.
👍✌😎
Cheers :)
Beautiful guitar but 23 parts was a bit much for me.
Thanks, 23 is quite restrained for me, I did over 50 on one build!!
Turned out beautiful and sounds good also, maybe just a little more fast forward.
