guys, what are you doing here.. it is purely amazing! best guitar work I have ever seen... too bad for me I will not be able ever to touch a guitar made by your hands :( .. this is a dream guitar ...
Japanese woodworkers are the best in the world. Im always amazed at how far ahead of us American woodworkers they are. Their tools, joinery, and overall skill and attention to detail puts the rest of the world to shame. I own one or two Japanese woodworker’s planes and they are an absolute joy to use. I love watching the videos of their blade makers forging their exquisite tools. Someday I hope to own a set of Japanese chisels made by a true artisan toolmaker.
you are just looking at the wrong woodworkers.. some of the great guitar luthiers have been in the US since Gibson started. They are not at Gibson... but the artisans are out there.
@@商品Aさん Yeah but America has not even been a country nearly that long haha Both American and Japanese woodworkers can be very skilled, it doesn't need to be a competition. I have a Gibson Les Paul Standard, and used to have a Tokai. The Tokai was better built, but I just liked how my Gibson played more. My Esp e-ii is also better built, it all depends on the individual making it. As a whole it seems Japanese workers take more pride in their work in general, where in America it's often the job just needs to be done efficiently. That said, if that person in America is passionate and skilled, they can create some of the best guitars in the world.
Call me a paranoid, but I got anxious about your long hair close to that buffing machine. The guitar is perfect. I wouldn't put trem on a LP inspired guitar, but the owner knows what he wants, not me. The guitar ended gorgeous, congratulation for both the constructor and the owner.
I have long hair too and the thought crossed my mind, the Lady who was scalped by a machine in China? that's a horror story and a reason to tie back or wear a hat or both, that aside a beautiful Guitar and like you i wouldn't put a trem on this either.
People get worried about the sustain with a trem. I built a double cutaway Les Paul style with a strat headstock at mahogany neck with Rosewood fretboard for me. Very slim body because more feminin, lol. The wood is very old and the sustain is very good. I used an original Floyed Rose, but the German Schaller also sounds very good.
What a craftsmanship and labor of love. Gorgeous guitar and work. We want you to make many more guitars for the years to come. Please wear a mask when painting.
I never get tired of watching Japanese artisans - whether it's crafting guitars or forging a knife. My Japanese grandfather, who was born in the 1800's, had this kind of focus when doing any task. I marvelled at watching him as a kid.
@@wilbur218 While the standard Floyd Rose is cool, there is also a WRX, made exclusively for guitars like SG and LP to utilize (It also looks purely brutal)
I have some Tokai's and Edward's models and I find the Japanese skill in instrument making unsurpassed, just like the making of ancient katanas! Although I've watched many videos on making LP replicas, I was blown away by your work and progress! Keep it up.
@@martymcpeak4748Maybe some people will blame me, but I think that Edwards is the best that a person can get from the ESP factory without having to take a loan from the bank or sell the car, of course - made in Japan. I was just thinking about your project this morning and I got excited all over again. I would love to be your neighbor and watch you do it, I would say that the project calms you down and that you really enjoy it, that it's not just "work", which is rare these days. My sincere admiration, my friend!
lovely build process - I was a bit freaked out by the buffing scene, certain that long beautiful hair was going to tangle into the polishing wheel and result in disaster. I'm thankful no luthiers were harmed in the making of this video.
There are a lot of things that I admire about the Japanese people. Craftsmanship is one major thing I like and admire about the Japanese. Japanese craftsmen and women do not seem to be in a rush to finish a project they seem to be more interested in the perfection of the craft.
I love the reasonable combined use of NC machineing and handwork. Also the initial neck profiling using machining I saw for the first time and I have to say I belive it is better, more precise and error proof method than going by the hand all the way from the begining. And lastly I appreciate the spraying of the guitar without wearing the gass mask with filters!
Coolest video I’ve watched on TH-cam in a long time!!! As a builder myself I really appreciate how you started with three billets, body, cap, and neck all raw and showed every step to turning them in to a collective piece of art!!! Well played sir.
You have just made me feel, with a big smile on my face, a deep admiration and joy, as if I were from Japan, by doing justice to your country's well deserved, treasured attention to detail and precision, outstanding QC, I can only imagine the experience, on playing such instrument. Happy for you, thank you, and congrats on your Craftsmanship. Please use a mask when spraying, love that fretboard, that kurokaki pattern looks amazing, not a fan of that bridge design, but haven't played with one like it. Cheers.
I bought a Japanese Aria guitar back in 1964 when I was in college. It sounded just as good as my friend's Martin. The strings were so light to the touch. It took very little pressure for them to rest between the frets.
I have a 1962 Japanese built Aria Classical Guitar. I was offered $4,000 by a former NYC School of Music teacher. She begged me while living in Israel. Then in 2014 my classical music teacher asked me to sell it to him for $4000. I still have it and rearly play it. When I wrote Aria in the early 2000's they told me it was built by a Japanese Master and was part of about 500 guitars that were built by him. I think Japan's craftsmanship and attention to detail is fantastic.
What a exelent job you took care of every detail, custom shoop there are many profesional musician and many guitar players that call you the best for you
Thank you for sharing your time, skills, hard work, and allowing us to watch the creation of a beautiful work of art that I believe will sound as great as it looks. Your dedication to perfection shows not only in the finished product, but in each individual process along the way. God Bless you!
I just wanted to say, this is some great craftsmanship and I really like the choices you made with the build. The deep tenon and the added touch of conductive paint in the cavities was particularly nice. Keep up the great work! Such clean lines!
Oi . Que trabalho feito com madeira lindo . Ainda mais fabricando esse instrumento lindo que é a guitarra . Parabéns . Ótimo serviço e muitos anos de vida saúde e felicidades ...
Great guitar workshop, everything made with love. Please be careful when using the polishing machine (at least 24.14 minutes) and wear hair protection. Greetings Tom

Mahakarya yang sangat luar biasa , dari dulu saya menginginkan sebuah gitar elektrik , namun saya tidak pernah memiliki uang yang cukup. Kerja yang sangat baik kawan .

Beautiful work! The pride of Japanese craftmanship is far beyond anything elsewhere. I have a Japanese Charvette that even though it suppose to be bottom tier is superior to any American junk that was 3 times its cost newly built at that time (1990). I believe the Japanese can't build a bad guitar. All that said I loved the work but the locking tuners weren't needed for the Floyd Road double locking system. Although I guess you could say this is a triple-locking system!
Beatiful and very well done. Howerver, since it's already a non tradicional Les Paul because it has a Floyrd Rose, have you ever thought about doing a Les Paul with nice countours, carving the upper fret access and all the modern good stuff?
bloody brilliant !! excellent workmanship. very skilled, and perfection, i'm rebuiling a burns tr2 '63 circa. and you've given me more momentum to finish it better, thank you. :)

One of the best guitar building video's I've ever seen. And the guitar .... a real gem !!! Well done, I wish I had the skills myself,
すげぇ！Great video. The guitar looks awesome!
I converted the price from Yen to US dollars. It's $5,317.35. If I had the money I’d take 3. This is craftsmanship!!!

This young man has talent that most men only dream of. Awesome build and educational.
That has to be the most Beautiful LP I've seen. Just exquisite craftsmanship. Well done
A beautiful guitar, the wood grain on the neck and fingerboard is stunning. Great to see a Les Paul with a trem.
Beautiful precision made Les Paul....I think Gibson would proud of your work.
Congratulations! The keyboard looks like a Sumi-e painting!
Stunning! The folks over at Gibson could learn a few things from this. I hope it sounded as good as it looks! すごいよ！
本体も個性的でとても良いですが、各パーツをウッドで仕上げているのもさらにいいですね。
The fretboard alone was worth the watch! It's pretty unique. I love the use of persimmon. - May all your notes ring true. -
Man, this is absolutely GORGEOUS! I bet you Gibson will be jealous of this. And using only locally sourced wood. Blew my mind, man!
Great guitar workshop, everything made with love. Please be careful when using the polishing machine (at least 24.14 minutes) and wear hair protection. Greetings Tom
Truly a beautiful piece of art , your attention to detail and craftsmanship is superb. Love the choice of woods used .❤ From the UK
