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.
Now excuse me while I drive my pickup truck with a beer in one hand and a lit firecracker in the other. God bless the USA!!!
Fun facts- if you mean the web, then that was developed by Tim Berners-Lee, an Englishman, working at CERN (you know, the kids who also built the Large Hadron Collider) in Switzerland. And if you're using Wifi- John O'Sullivan (Australian). All the Americans developed was TCP/IP, how to monetize it and how to flood it with outrage and substitute opinion for fact. So enjoy that week tasteless beer in your rusting unreliable pickup, and keep smoking that firecracker- you'll get to the end soon enough! ;-)
He could have requested the service of a native speaker. There’s examples on my channel
And he even didn't need to resort to subtitles!
Turd Ferguson III this fucking offensive to Australians cmon man
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.
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
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.
Or a master bator
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
How to buld a guitar for $30:
Step 2: Get all the machines.
the commentary on the build video is priceless.
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

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...?
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
mrscary3105 glad I’m not the only one with moobs, I’m glad he did the voice over
would you make me a guitar? reigns@dr.com
Master Life and Love I surely can, I’ve been swamped with requests so It might be after Xmas before I can get around to it
Brian Champagne hit me up and I can get cracking
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 voice over and description of what Corey was building was hilarious! Well worth the watch. Always informative, thanks Dan
Thanks Steven!
In Australian, it’s tomato sauce, not ketchup Corey.
Gosh what a noob. Or dead horse, not ketchup. Who does he think he is...
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?
gdawgs101 you don’t??
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 formula to determine the amount of clamps needed for any given project is Every Clamp you Own Plus One.
You can never have enough clamps
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.
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 idea!
Do you think it would work pallet wood? And just the part of the pallet wood in the middle for the block?
oh man...... that voice over..... "I suppose I'm doing this because..." hahahahha that was funny.
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'
Awesome stuff!!
May I ask where u gotten those fantastic bullet knobs?
People usually use glue, but I have my own custom recipe - KETCHUP!!! :D
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.
Eh...
The voice over was great. Thanks for keeping it clean so I could watch with my son.
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.
Haha thanks mate!
yo I read this as he said that
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.
Never wear gloves using a vertical band saw. It's much safer to not. Gets caught and your hand is suddenly 6 inches shorter
Carl Computer good tip
Here's a guy who's done some band saw work. Carl, nice comment bud.
Thanks, will memorize this
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.
Dude, the voice-over was EPIC. That's one of the funniest things I've seen / heard, ever!
Great impression of Aussie man❤️
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.
Thanks dan from Canada!
Finally, someone put an end to the "tone wood makes a difference/no difference argument. It is settled for me.
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!
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! ;)
"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
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
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!!
That pup set-up is what impressed me. It has heaps of tonal variety without sounding like junk.
I'm glad you chose guitar madness pickups. I've been using them for a while and they're always a great choice and a good value. love the video.
I really like these pickups, I’ll be trying out some more for sure.
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.
Dude, that was the funniest video I've seen in years! Your narration cracked me up.
I LMFAO when the Aussie accent kicked in...Awesome job gents, keep up the great work!...
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.
Thanks gene! Good you see you here again!
He didn't break the two pieces apart because they were never glued together. If you watch as he does the glue up, he doesn't apply glue to the very middle two slabs where they meet. This is a common woodworking technique that saves on time and clamp usage. Also the chisels are to square the edges, the router will leave a rounded edge in the corners that the neck wouldn't be able to fit in properly.
As someone with mild Aspergers, (last profiled during 2007) this is a really sweet gesture. Mad respect bro. =)
Thanks!
OMG that voice over was FANTASTIC, I almost peed myself laughing. Absolutely the best part of the video!!!
Had to shut off the volume after about 30 seconds and I realized the voice wasn't going to stop
LOL you missed the best part.
Nice work. Once you go locking tuners you'll never go back. Just for the ease of changing strings alone they're worth it.
You guys should go in to production, I really really love this guitar. The best hand made guitar I have seen to date. Awsome just awsome.
Wow thanks man!
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
Best guitar build voice over ever
Best voice-over ever. i guarantee it came out better than if he did it himself. after the video ended i noticed i was smiling the whole time. a+
You're a lunatic Dan. That was hilarious!
Brad Angove even though it was at my expense I found it so funny 😂😂
Thanks brad! I’m guessing you’ll be sure to get me a VO for our collaboration now 😂
Frankly I’m somewhat curious what you would do with a Canadian accent...
I was going to say that there are two types of Acacia in Australia, ( I am Australian), but in looking it up in my text book called, "Wood in Australia, types, properties, and uses." by Keith R Bootle; it lists some 30 species. It's an expensive little book. The two main species are Black Wattle, ( Acacia mearnsii, Acacia decurrens, Acacia mollis, and Acacia mollissima) Blackwood, ( Acacia melanoxylon), and a whole bunch of Wattle species that are also Acacia. Blackwood comes in two main types, the best for guitar building is very, very close in appearance to Koa. It is not cheap. this one is darker than the other species of blackwood.
Michael ah this stuff is the wattle variety, for a 1200x405x18mm board which the top and the back is made from cost $27au
I think this May be the best video I’ve ever seen...
Thanks!
If you have pins that don't fit, just clamp really hard on one end with some needle-nose pliers. The grooves in the face will spline the pin, giving it a friction fit that you'll still be able to drive out if needed.
That’s a great tip!!! I’ll try it next time
A cherry red finish on that guitar would look awesome!
Antipodean radiata pine is a ridiculously soft wood, & expands & contracts a huge amount with changing humidity
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.
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
We don't have Australian woods but ya COULD use aromatic cedar closet lining. Looks similar, comes 1/4" thin, smells like grammy's Sunday dress...
What do you mean we don’t have Australian woods?????
The voice over is basically a pisstake.
FUCKIN' BRILLIANT!!!
Dude that thing sounds so good
Lmfao... best video ever. This guy should make more videos like this 😂🤣
Crikey thats not glue, thats Vegemite!
Great looking build!
As a person with autism, I really appreciate the help.
"It might have even been reclaimed wood"
-Dan
HE DID NOT JUST DO THAT!!
It's 2 AM and I'm watching some American dude doing some Aussie voiceover while some mate from down under makes cool guitar out of scrap wood. I think I should re-think my life choices
"Body" - "Build your DREAM GUITAR BODY" Not whole guitar + hardware for $30. I think most of us got excited and misread the title on purpose. Freudian Slit. Still a great video/ thanks. Great work/ Beautiful guitar. Watching all your vids Cause I got an Yngwie Neck coming in the mail and I need a guitar to put it on. Great ideas on Yer channel
Daaaaaaaaaaayum that guitar is gorgeous!!!
That voiceover was great. I laughed really whole time.
Thanks! It was extremely hard to do that voice over without laughing myself
Shows how small your brain is if you found that funny. Ruined the whole hole video for me
@@xXN0SK1LLZXx dude chill, it is objective. Just shows who the dumb one really is...
@@willfowler8540 wow commenting on a 2 year old comment
@@xXN0SK1LLZXx still, my point stands lol
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.
The front looks like bacon, which makes it look really cool
The Bacocaster!!!
Makes all you licks tastier, and your blues extra greasy.
Now in hungry
*im
Mmmmmm...bacon...
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.
Turn on the captions during the "Australian voice over*. Its hilarious!
😂😂😂
I have a friend named Sean Dollar and he spells his name $ean. I had watched an old spinal tap vid where they had the double neck bass shaped like a dollar sign. This vid has inspired me to go either pick up a clapped out p-bass and a clapped out jazz bass and make a double neck dollar designed bass or pick up a couple of kit bases and put my retired fathers wood working skills to use creating my own version of that bass. Thank you for the inspiration
I got my Acacia wood in the food store, they where cuttingboards in reality but they work very good as a guitarbody I agree lol
I have an acacia cutting board, I did have a coffee table I made out of the shelving too but they eventually were made into guitars
This video is old as hell but your idea for stereo output from two pickups is just completely genius.
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!!!
Dude! I love your channel!
I purchased an SG Kit Guitar from an e-Bay kit guitar seller.
The neck pocket is a bit loose though, so I am going to have to tighten it up with some thin wood veneer so the neck fits tightly, & the pickups are horrible.
I purchased a "Desert Eagle" set of Dominger Pickups to put in it.
I custom wire most of my guitars and set them all up myself, so figured I would try my hand at building one of these kits.
I recently came up with my own body & headstock design for a 7-String guitar I'd like to build from scratch using some kind of Native Aussie Timber, maybe some kind of Gum Tree? I could try Eucalyptus, the trees that our Native Koalas reside in & eat the leaves of?
I want to start doing guitar setups, adjustment, repairs & custom modifications once I move house to a more suitable place so I can have a proper workspace.
I am so glad to have been pointed in the direction of your channel by GuitarMAX, as I am sure I will be able to find plenty of tips & techniques to apply to my builds.
The fretwork is the one thing I am dreading the most. But I need to learn it, as I have a few guitars that need some fretwork.
A 1990 Yamaha RGX 1212S Shred Machine with slightly worn frets needs a fret levelling, recrowning, and polishing. And I want to get a Seymour Dyncan Nazgul Bridge Humbucker to install in her too (I love Black Metal the most, but my Chaos musical style is Thrashing Grinding Blackened Death with some Blues, Power-Groove, & Jazz thrown in for good measure, & a lot of Pristine Clean Classical also).
I have an Active EMG 81 or 85 & 60 set to put in my Dean Razorback.
The pups I pull out of it are going into a cheap $200 SG knockoff that needs its frets completely replaced from brand new. 😤
I'd like to try a Seymour Duncan Black Winter set in something or other some day. Maybe my Jackson JS32 Uneven V?
Or should I put the EMG's in the Jackson & the Black Winters in the Dean? 🤔
Thanks for this video.
It was really 😎.
& funny, too. 😅
That's called the safety squint
As someone with Asperger's Syndrome it's nice to see you supporting a good cause.
As a DIY guitar builder; that body is pretty damn sweet looking, although I'm slightly disappointed it only had the Dan-O-Sound. I thought it was an on-board overdrive unit which would have been a first. Don't get me wrong, the Dan-O-Sound is pretty cool (even sounds Australian. Pretty sure everyone over there has an O on the end of their name; Dan-O, Steve-O, ect.)
As a metal guitar player: I would never own that lol
You guys are awesome...my son is autistic and LOVE'S music of all kinds...I play guitar (not as good or as often as I use too)but he and my daughter wont let me put it away when my fingers have had enough...lol...thank you so much for the video and donating to autism awareness...it is definitely something that the public needs to be more aware of....and every little bit helps😀👍
That accent tho...😂
" ... cause I´m Corey Muslow.... " " .... and I´m a hipster and I like chisels..."
Like it when people are on point. :)
I WORK WITH DEMINTIA PATIENTS SO I AM TOTALLY ONBOARD WITH THIS CHARITY
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...
Ok MATE ... You have to say Mate! And its Tomato Sauce ... NOT Katchup ..... grrr .... Great vid MATE ... ;)
Lol, tomato sauce is what you put on spaghetti here in the US
That's bolognese sauce, Dan.
Calm down mate. Have a lemon squash. ;)
Strewth, Gunnie, you fresh off the wheat'n'oat from the Old Dart? it's dead'orse , cobber.... :)
WRXBase might need a snickers 😂
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.
So early that the video is only in 360p :D
I'm sure that Corey is overjoyed with that VO. Really cool wiring on that.
James Lewis way Better than I would have done 😂
Dan, have you ever considered a career in voice-overing! 😂
I’m an Aussie and I’m in tears with laughter....awesome Voice over 👍🇦🇺
Its called a planer Dan.. lol
Lol I actually know that, it’s just a tool that most people don’t have unless they are a carpenter
@@GunsandGuitars lol I know you know Dan.. I was just playing along with ya..
DO it! Build it! I want to try building one once I have the necessary wood working shop. Not quite there yet, it's my dream to build.
Good job dude!! You had me cracking up! really enjoyed the commentary, and video as well!!!!
Love your sense of humor. Good video
The top and back are pretty thick: routing out the top and back would lighten it some; so would making the mid body thinner.
Mark Williams the back and the top are 18mm at the start, about 20mm from the edges I routed it down to about 6mm
@@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. Especially exotic or rare woods and even moreso with Acoustic guitars since I play acoustic myself. I want to teach myself to huild acoustics honestly but it seems so hard to learn without an expert luthier teaching me themselves honestly. I don't say that about much of anything either since I've basically taught myself everything I've wanted to learn since I became an adult.
ahahahaha you are a real Aussie Maaaate !! super enjoyed watching this video! buy the way the guitar looks awesome!
We have shelving boards in Russian Spruce at our local Big Box, Have played with them!
Glad to see the proceeds going to Autism research!!!! Nice guitar!
When he bent over to glue the wood up I held my breath, like when I tie my shoes haha.
You can get Acacia flooring planks online anywhere. Already tongue and grooved. Easy to bond.
Instead of routing out a huge amount of wood to make the hollow middle section, I cut out just the "rim" that is left, but in several pieces so that there was no waste.
