Additionally, you must have a woodworking machinery because if you just have a hammer and basic handsaw and a drill for home use. Nobody build a guitar from a simple board with home tools. Just the guitar hardware and electronics is about US$200, also finish and glue. The fingerboard is at least US$30 cheapest in eBay from Chinese manufacture. That is bull manure for saying US$30. I would pay him 30 bucks for that guitar and I believe this guy would sell me for that. Just Bull Manure
Exactly. If you have all the tools and expertise to build a guitar plus you have wood for free or cheap then you can do it for 30. Still the pickups bridge and strings were not there which were later bought.
Most of his tools he used are pretty basic for most men that enjoy things like playing guitar. Besides a planer, which I do have but you really don't need for this. I feel like a router is borderline considered a basic tool but if not harbor freight sells them for $30 & works fine
This was so funny. After supper my wife and I do a evening devotion. She was finishing the dishes and while I was waiting on her I played this video. She came in and sat down as you were doing the voice over for the Aussie, and we laughed so hard. Totally hillarious! Needless to say, we watched the whole vid. You did a super job Dan.
The casual roasting in the voiceover is incredible. This should be a video series in itself, just Dan playfully roasting guitar builds. Great guitar, very talented man!
So the middle part is actually reclaimed pine as Dan said, might have been an old bed or something And the acacia is actually wattle which I didn’t know until recently
Really nice video Dan. I've built similar bodies using what I call the "Clamshell" technique, which is using two pieces of wood for the top and back with no middle piece. I just route out the insides and glue them together and cut the the shape on a band saw. Works well for me.
Great voice-over Danno!! Love the accent and sarcasm! I have to say this was the first time I ever laughed non-stop during a guitar build video. Also a great cause for the auction proceeds. God Bless you Bro. Dan from Canada.
voiceover was AMAZING almost choked on the 'but i use ketchup'. edit: OMG please make more of these this was hilarious 'i have like 5 routers lying around but for some reason for the neck joint ill use a chisel'
That was funny as hell. Great video and very cool build. I do hope you will build one from scratch, would love to see how that turns out. Keep kicking out the great videos.
I've heard of folks looking all over for good wood to build guitars out of. I am about to post probably the most awesome source that I found, a thrift shop like the salvation army, I can buy an entire head board and foot board for 6 bucks. The posts can be used for necks and the actual head and foot boards can be used as a body, the only issue I have found is these are usually 3/4 inch thick so they have to be glued on top of one another which gets you to 1 1/2 inch thickness so it will need a cap of 1/4 inch thick for most guitars like a strat, tele, music man, jackson, ibanez etc. 1 3/4 is pretty standard for most a lot of guitars out there, however if making a hard tail version you can get away with just the 1 1/2 inch thickness. You can grab a chair or two as well and use the seat. While it is hard to tell what type of wood it is you can at least somewhat test for hardness by pressing your fingernail into an area of the wood, if it dents it is soft if not it is hard, the two I got was maple and birch. Right now I am working on my second body and its not that hard just tedious. The first build was a Squire bullet strat body to replace the plywood one, it sounds better than my USA made strat (squire necks are made really well) which may be due to having fender single coils rather than stock squire ones. The best tools to have when doing this type of work are: Rubber mallet (I use this to drive a carving chisel lightly in tight areas.)Belt sander and yes the cheap one worksrouter sharp chiselsforstner bitsfiles and rasps straight edgea tool for fine measurements (I use a digital caliper)long and short drill bits This is the tools I used which I already had. It can be done without automated tools it just takes longer.
Of the million and a half guitar channels yours is by far the best! You're talented, a great teacher, and funny as hell!! Ketchup glue, aussie accent, you're the best!!! I was waiting for the use of bloody, g'day, crikey, facey, mate, good on ya, reckon, twat, etc...
Not my favorite style of guitar but I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this video and your dubbing had me rolling!!!!! Gave me some ideas for a bunch of extra cypress I have laying around
That wood look so beautiful don't make any sense!! The setup with the pickups the bridge and the neck parts and everything is incredible!!! The wiring is awesome and like you said on steroids!!! Hell yeah boy!!
I’m building a guitar body out of a free piece of ash from a tree cutting service that was a scrap from a table top they had planked from a tree they cut down. I’ve been lucky enough to have friends and family that have the tools I don’t have. I’ve spent about $100 for sandpaper and bits I needed.
The acacia wood looks alot like aromic cedar if anyone in the us wants something like it. The streaks in aromic cedar are red though but it’s not hard finding
Looks great but you should run the strings UNDER the front bar of the bigsby so it angles up to the bridge. Itll probably take care of any bridge issues you had.
I thought that angle would be a little too aggressive. After I strung it this way I cut the strings too short to go under the roller bar or else I would’ve tried that. I just didn’t want to open another pack of strings lol
James Crider the aggressive break angle just makes more tension on the strings, it lets you get away with using ridiculously heavy strings if you don't put the strings uunder the bar
@@GunsandGuitars you want just that! the "agressive angle" will cure any issues you'd might run into with that trem/bridge combination! i am a pensioner by now but yoused to build and repair guitars and stringed instruments for a livin' . trust my words. change the way you stringed the guitar and you will notice a sometimes quite drastic change of the sound the instrument has. this is a direct consequence to the increase of pressure the string uses on the saddle. in principle: the more pressure, the better. apart from this, your build looks nice and beautyful and it sounds ok to me. it is not possible to jugde something you can not hear.......i would love to hear this instrument in a live situation and play it as well cause that would be the only way to really say/find out how an instrument sounds. youtube is bad soundwise and does not help much in finding out how an instrument sounds. the surface finish you did looks quite nice as well! have you ever tried out shellack? this i would recommend to you. almos all violins have been treated that way for centuries.... keep on keeping on, dear fellow! you do have a lot of talent!
It is the hard part. There are tons of cheap necks out there. Amazon, eBay, Tomtop, AliExpress. Or you can get more expensive ones from places like warmoth and carvin/keisel
Try the WIlkinson roller bridge next time you're in the market for a cheap roller bridge. They're rock solid, and only cost about 20 bucks. A big plus to them is that you can adjust the radius by cutting little shims out of an aluminum can and placing them under the saddles. They've been my go to roller bridge for years now.
"without gloves or ear protection" i dunno what kind of bandsaw you use, but they usually arent that loud, and gloves would actually be a bad idea when it comes to woodworking
Just a woodworking tip for that face glue up and the ammo Dan. Great idea, but it still slid. Adding some salt on top of the glue before you join the pieces together will basically eliminate that slide. You're welcome and great build regardless. Gotta go into how you wired those pickups sometime because that is some awesome control.
Bruh u a inspiration 2 me. I grew up in the hood and u be saying words I dunno and shit and I swear I be pausing yo videos and be looking them mugs up.
I'm also from Australia and loved your video! I always thought that the bigsby tremelo system had the strings go under the first roller, but maybe only because I'm from "down under". Ha Ha.
You should win the Oscar (Schmidt) Award for the the Cory Guitar build. Broke my chair laughing at the commentary. Been to Australia 5 times working with their special forces . One hint you were just too nice. The more vicious the more respect, you shelia. One suggestion american woods from the back yard to create a dream axe. thanks for your time."Because I am a HIPSTER, too.
Oh my God that was funny, we're all still laughing over here. "If you thought that last camera angle was bad, check out this beauty". You'se a funny guy Dan.
Hey, i did that thing routing one pickup to another output myself one time. It's probably the only way to use a saggy vintage fuzz and a tighter overdrive in parallel, because the second pickup is not affected by the low input impedance of the fuzz (-face, for exaple)! This opens up a whole new world of sounds, really fun to play with! ;)
Curious, why did you put on the strings this way? Never seen anyone string up a bigsby style trem that way. The rollers would have more tension and would not wobble around that much as well if stringed up the usual way.
Regarding your Danno Sound Mod, Parker Guitars does a similar thing with a stereo jack (AKA TRS jack). The main difference is that Parker has the magnetic pickups on one channel and the piezo on the other. If you plug in a mono plug, both magnetics and piezo are on the one channel.
@@saulgoodeguitars you ever try your luck at making a decent acoustic? I'm a bit of a xylophile so I've got an insanely strong and irregular passion for woods, and building things from wood.

hahahah that's about the worst aussie accent i've heard! but funny you did that because hey, if he doesn't care to do it, oh well.... he gets the best aussie accent you can do!!!
The swoopy single cut top bout reminds me of Aria Pro's LP knockoffs from the early 80s...always loved that look! Been thinking about what shape to use for a homebrew hollowbody bass, I think I just found it!
Celtic Fury it all started with me wanting a 175 and couldn’t afford it, so I traced around a 335 copy I had made and made a Florentine cutaway and I thought it looked better with the upper bout flowing into the cutaway Thanks for your kind words 😊
You strung the Bigsby wrong, unless it was intentional. The strings go under the tension bar then over the bridge. I have a set of the wide range style pickups from guitar madness too and yes, they do sound very good. You should try other models that he offers as well. I also have a set of 57 specials (alnico 2). Great build.
It was intentional because of the super high bridge, I didn’t want the angle between the bridge and trem to be too aggressive. But after I did it that way I cut the strings short (because of the locking tuners) and wondered if I should’ve just used the roller bar anyway. Too late now
You did a fantastic job translating. Not a lot of people speak Australian.
Dammit, the internet is American! Speak English, not that Australian commie nonsense.

How to build a guitar for $30:
Step 1: Be a master guitar builder.
Additionally, you must have a woodworking machinery because if you just have a hammer and basic handsaw and a drill for home use. Nobody build a guitar from a simple board with home tools. Just the guitar hardware and electronics is about US$200, also finish and glue. The fingerboard is at least US$30 cheapest in eBay from Chinese manufacture. That is bull manure for saying US$30. I would pay him 30 bucks for that guitar and I believe this guy would sell me for that. Just Bull Manure

How to buld a guitar for $30:
Step 2: Get all the machines.
I think it’s only fair that Dan takes what he’s learned, builds a body, sends it to Corey and let Corey do an American voice over for the next video.
If you throw the guitar does it come back to you?
owain bestley it hasn’t came back yet
Lol!!!!
Yes in pieces...
owain bestley
You think this guitar is Australian? Go make one out of eucalyptus wood.
owain bestley if they throw with you, do you come back...?
I'm gonna say that this wasn't actually built in Australia. The guitar isn't upside down
Yes it is. It's an Australian leftie, so it looks the right way up
But if the earth is flat, then actually the guitar should be inside out ! ...
William Caddy so are you saying that left handed guitars are just Australian guitars?
the world isnt a ball. its flat

Guns and Guitars just a pretender hey
tomato sauce is something completely different than ketchup so it turns out aussies are wrong on yet another level
Do they put ketchup on their spaghetti then?

The casual roasting in the voiceover is incredible. This should be a video series in itself, just Dan playfully roasting guitar builds. Great guitar, very talented man!
The voice over and description of what Corey was building was hilarious! Well worth the watch. Always informative, thanks Dan
Thanks Steven!
So the middle part is actually reclaimed pine as Dan said, might have been an old bed or something
And the acacia is actually wattle which I didn’t know until recently
I laughed my man boobs off at his attempt to do your voice LOL

Do you think it would work pallet wood? And just the part of the pallet wood in the middle for the block?
the commentary on the build video is priceless.
Dude, the voice-over was EPIC. That's one of the funniest things I've seen / heard, ever!
The voice over was great. Thanks for keeping it clean so I could watch with my son.
I was smiling the whole time. Thank you. Hopefully maybe some acoustic projects in future? They’re guitars too!
Definitely in the future for sure.

Thanks gene! Good you see you here again!
Why didn't you string the bigsby correctly? You ran them over the roller instead of under which would help the brake angle on the bridge

Never wear gloves using a vertical band saw. It's much safer to not. Gets caught and your hand is suddenly 6 inches shorter

The top and back are pretty thick: routing out the top and back would lighten it some; so would making the mid body thinner.

The Bacocaster!!!
Makes all you licks tastier, and your blues extra greasy.
Now in hungry

Mmmmmm...bacon...
You strung the Bigsby wrong, unless it was intentional. The strings go under the tension bar then over the bridge. I have a set of the wide range style pickups from guitar madness too and yes, they do sound very good. You should try other models that he offers as well. I also have a set of 57 specials (alnico 2). Great build.
It was intentional because of the super high bridge, I didn’t want the angle between the bridge and trem to be too aggressive. But after I did it that way I cut the strings short (because of the locking tuners) and wondered if I should’ve just used the roller bar anyway. Too late now

I subscribed to your channel based on the name of your channel, guns and guitars. My two favorite hobbies.
The voice over is basically a pisstake.
FUCKIN' BRILLIANT!!!
I’m an Aussie and I’m in tears with laughter....awesome Voice over 👍🇦🇺
Cool. I really like the fact that you demo the guitars 'naked'. Lots of guys demo with unspecified effects. No good to us. Thanks Dan.
Lovely looking thing, even with the chunks missing out of the fretboard.
