The Great Guitar Build Off : Invitationals. The One Piece Build (Voiceover + 5 things I never do)

- This is build n°9, and my 6th guitar build!
And this is also a very special video for me as it is my official entry to The Great Guitar Build Off 2021: Invitational competition. It is a friendly competition where TH-camrs and Makers get the opportunity to showcase their creativity through the building of a guitar. The 10 guitars then get auctioned on eBay and all proceeds are going to different charities across the globe. This year's line-up is composed of TH-cam superstars ... and me (must be an intern's mistake that Crimson Guitars, host of the event, had to stick to): CSGuitars, Tamar 3x3, Tim Sway, Laura Brokenwind, Crafted Workshop, Jimmy Diresta, Ben Crowe himself, Dylan Talks Tone and Brad Angove!
I know that this is not a unique concept, but one-piece guitars are rare enough to make a video like this visually interesting, especially without the use of a CNC, and challenging enough to be fun to build.

This guitar is the first one that I'll ever sell and probably the only one for a very long time, but it's for a good cause.
Half of the profits are going to the GGBO's own charity which aims at providing tools and courses to aspiring luthiers in need, and the other half is going to the charity that the invitational participants chose. In my case, the money is going to " Infirmiers de rue " (Street Nurses), a Belgian non-profit organization which aims at ending homelessness in Brussels through on-site healthcare and rehousing.

Since I already sold out by breaking rule n°3 & 5 once: I'll start a Red Special build at 100k subs !

It will run until July 2, so place your bid now if you want that guitar to be yours!
Sorry, I won't do that again
Tchiks, The apologetic builder.
There is nothing wrong with promoting your talents and your business. We all are feeding ourselves at the trough of marketing. Even the lowly janitor or truck driver wouldn't have a job if the marketing department didn't market. Many folks have completely lost sight of reality and have become the enemy unto themselves. But sadly, they are too socially conditioned to realize it. (Pavlov's dog's and Bernay's smoking women)
So beautiful... And the Red Special would be nice, but your own designs are far more interesting. There already are enough Red Specials. Just do a tchiks special!
The whole video I was thinking your techniques are the same as mine. Iv'e built 5 red specials from scrap materials and tools I've found over the years, no power tools at all. each one is custom and nothing like the original!
You should make a tchiks design guitar for sale. You should be breaking rule 5 more regularly.
@@Guitars-Gear-Music like your comment but Red Special from Tchiks would be great as well!
You know, that feelings when you know what to expect at the end but getting the real pleasure from the process :D
You are officially my favourite TH-cam guitar making duo! Every single thing about this video from the concept to the prodigious use of hand tools to the editing.. every single bit is awe inspiring. Well done and thank you for joining in again B
It’s a shame you don’t talk in your videos more often. I for one thoroughly enjoyed the commentary. Also, amazing guitar man.
Thanks!
I agree, Mr Tchiks has quite the sense of humour and a great way of telling his little one to not tell her mother she was playing with shavings! I was sitting with my 1 year old whilst watching this and thought "I'm probably going to tell her the same thing!"
I couldn’t agree more with Dan. I learn much more when you voice over your videos. It is much more personal. I also love that you include the interactions with your daughter. Those are big reasons for why I subscribed. I am beginning the process of my first build, and am grateful for the videos you have made that actively reach with words. Keep building!
I dislike the talking, to clear and straightforward. Has me convinced I can build a guitar… 🤣
Agreed on more commentary!
"Building a guitar out of one piece with two pieces is very hard.", I spit my coffee.
my wife silently disapproved of that joke, I can still remember where she was standing when she rolled her eyes to the ceiling
@@tchiksguitars At least we know where your daughter gets her sense of humor. :D
Apparently I’m old and out of the loop... I got that it was a joke. I don’t get the joke.
@@mrwaffles1394 Guitar kits (like the one he declined) come as 2 pieces: a neck and a body that you glue/bolt together. If the aim is to make something out of a single piece of wood, starting with your material in already two pieces makes that goal "very hard" (ie. impossible).
@@KimonFrousios In my defense... I went to public school... in Texas. I must have missed the reference to the kit. Thanks for the explanation!
The one-armed apprentice of the little girl who builds guitars now has a speaking role - AND an extra arm!
In all seriousness, you are such an inspiration. Thank you for your wonderful, thoughtful, beautifully-crafted content. It's always a great pleasure watching you work. 👍
Haha I've talked in previous videos, but not for builds indeed :)
I LOVE the style of your videos - Talitha
Thank you :)
I NEED to build a guitar like this. So amazing!
Oh hi there,
You definitely should try it out, it's so fun :)
For sure you can do that!! Watched you entry last, it was great!
Tamar, I started one last week, from a slab of Sycamore, coming along. I tell people like eating an elephant, one bite at a time!!
I cant say anything about your amazing Craftsmanship that hasn´t been said already but what I can say is: You sir are legitametly funny. You, your editing and your daughter make me Giggle and laugh multiple times.
Thank you ! I worked really hard on those jokes :p
Hermione: "The one piece guitar build"
Ron: "The one guitar - Piece build"
Only because he was blinded by the friend zone
There's a whole reddit dedicated to this phenomenon. It's called "Don't Dead, Open Inside"
www.reddit.com/r/dontdeadopeninside/
The one piece shirt at the end of building a one piece guitar...I love it.
It's the little things :)
Beautiful work- adorable daughter but the thumbs up for the “15th century pickup rings” 😂😂😂
That cracked me up!
You're one of my favourite content creator EVER and your content inspire me so much... Maybe someday I'll realise a guitar by myself, but meanwhile watching you is soooo satisfying 😂
Check out my tutorial if you haven't yet. It's crazy that I've waited so long before building my first guitar. Don't waste your time with birdwatching and stamp collecting. Guitar making is the sh*t!
@@tchiksguitars i saw the videos but I'm (aka my wife is) really worried I can cut my hand off. Besides, I really cannot make guitars in my living room, so this will remain a dream until I have a workshop 😂
That's why I love your videos and your skill, I'm living the dream with them 😉
That's so kind of you to say ! I really hope you get to have the space to make it sometimes soon :) to give you hope: it's been 3 months since the last part was released and dozens of people have sent me pictures of their builds following my instructions, and a lot of them fitted the " what's a chisel ? " profile.
I‘ve said it before, I‘ll say it again: this guitar is absolutely stunning, I loved watching the build process, and I do hope that this will raise a ton of money 😀
Your daughter's input is priceless. Thanks for sharing!
Just watched this voiceover version with my wife - she and I both really enjoyed it! Love your sense of humor - the 15th century pickup ring manufacturing technique is first rate :-D
I am beginning to think that the masking tape tone is really important to the overall sound of this beautiful instrument. Also, huge thumbs up for the One Piece t-shirt!
Haha thank you both !
@@tchiksguitars Our pleasure. We shared your video from out coconut shell guitar pick facebook page too (it's called ZSP Creations). Good luck with the sale, we hope you raise a lot of money for your charity!
I love this “special edition” video! It shows the unique story you, yourself goes through to make such lovely instruments! Everything. Insecurities and artistic decisions, and the story along the way. It feels like a complete story. I’m going have to cherish this one! 😂
So wholesome thank you !
I love that you broke rule one. Your voiceover was really funny 😁
I hope this finds you, it's been seven weeks since you posted this. I was going through the news this morning checking on the weather and I ran across a report on the flooding in Germany and Belgium. My first thoughts were of you and your family. I hope wherever you live in Belgium is dry and high above the flooding. I have much respect for you as a craftsman and as a human being. Your skill with a chisel is awesome and the scenes that show you interacting with you daughter are priceless. Your a good man and I hope this note finds you and the family safe and well.
That's so thoughtful ! All my family is fine, we live in Brussels and the flood levels didn't reach the literally apocalyptic levels in Liège and the German border! Belgium has been dry for two days now and police is securing the houses on the clock to prevent looting. This really sounds like a bad movie.
#notificationsquad is here!!!!!
AHAHAHAHA, tchiks notification squad is the best squad!
One piece shirt one piece guitar. This looks stellar, and for a great cause. Way to go!
I'm enjoying the voiceover videos. It's great to learn more about your process, challenges and thoughts. Thank you!
I love that truss rod adjustment. Great build as usual!
rules are made to be broken! kick ass job on this guitar
Just ridiculously cool. Everything about it! Cheers!
Absolutely gorgeous, very nicely done.
Seriously enjoy both types of videos you do! Very satisfying to just hear the noises of woodworking and you have a natural ability for voice over. Thanks for all the info and great content!
I think I'll try to find a middle ground in the future videos. I had to talk a lot here because of the contest and everything but I can tone it down to the essential in the next builds (I mean I dont have to comment every single frame, people aren't stupid )
This is incredible work!
I saw the less talky version first, and was amazed by it. And now I hear you've only been building guitars for 1.5 years, the amazement's only grown. May you win this contest.
thank you! Yes, things happen fast nowadays thanks to the magic of internet :)
Simply AMAZING, all around! GREAT JOB!!
Everything about this is awesome. The guitar, the craftsmanship, the editing and commentary. And I learned a half dozen great ideas/tips/techniques.
Thanks !
When I talked about this to a coworker, he asked me if it was done before. I said yes, but I don't wanna know how. He said I was crazy. Who's laughing now !?
Absolutely GORGEOUS piece! You EARNED my vote! WOW!!!
Another fantastic build and a fantastic cause to support.
I've just binge watched almost all of your videos and I just wanted to thank you for your amazing content. I especially enjoy your voiceovers, they are both relaxing and interesting.
thank you for watching !! voiceovers aren't my strong suit (makes me very self conscious) , I try to use them wisely :)
Excellent video. The guitar looks and sounds great! Good luck! That final video clip with the guitar in the original slap of wood was awesome!
Great video, amazing craftsmanship and a beautiful result. Best of luck in the contest👍
What an absolute pleasure to watch, You've crafted an amazing video as well as a phenomenal guitar. Nice work!
Thank you ! Glad you could enjoy both
Daaaaammmnnn, this thing sounds beast!!! What a weapon :D You should be so proud of your build, mind blown.
Not only is this a beautiful piece of craftsmanship and art, the video production, storyboarding, audio and edit quality is superb!
You have my vote. 👍
That guitar is stunningly gorgeous! Good luck with the auction and the competition.
Thank you !
Bravo! I too have wondered about one-piece guitars. Good on you for actually building one!
Really nice guitar , also your choice in the hardware puts you ahead of most best of luck
I really appreciate the carves on this instrument and the way you handled the cavities/pickup route. I love this shape!
As a girl dad myself, it never ceases to amaze me how much joy they bring! Amazing guitar build 👍
This series was great, I’m already collecting the tools to start doing this and this video really gave me the confidence to feel like I can figure this out. You did an excellent job explaining the process and I appreciated the humor as well. I can’t wait to finally get started, thanks for being a source of information
Thank you for a great guitar build. Been watching you from the first build. You inspire me. Thank you.
Thanks !!
This guitar is an absolute work of art. Thank you so much for sharing this video!
and thank you for watching !
I really like the commentary voice over videos. It's interesting to hear how passionate you are in making guitars
I just love all the sound bites from your daughter…
This guitar is AMAZING!
this is a really beautiful piece... and the beauty shot at the end with all the off-cuts! WOW!
It made its little effect indeed :)
So cool that you involve your daughter in the build - fantastic - well done and great build!
Fantastic build and video. Love the sections with your daughter, so wholesome. Demo sounded great too!! :)
Thank you !
Bro you killed it. Not only that, this was the first time i actually heard you play and only the second video of your i watched. I definitely subscribed after the first. Thank you. You inspire me to learn more and to play more ty.
Hehe check out my tutorial, you can make a guitar you just don't know it yet
Brilliant work! This gets my vote and I haven’t seen the other guitars yet!
amazing man i really love this one i hope u will smash this contest!!!
Thanks !
Wow. Beautiful guitar and inspiring build video as always! Love it!
thank you !
I never pass up any of your videos, there is so much more here than a guitar build. I love how you react with your daughter, how she helps you and how you can feel the love and happiness that you get from each other, Your a good man and it shows. Your also the best luthier on TH-cam, almost everything you do is old school and by hand, very impressive work! I wish you the very best in the competition. Oh yeah, I also like your commentary added to the video.
Thank you so much for sticking with me :)
Very impressive, this is the first of your videos that I've watched as it was recommended and I'm already a fan. That guitar sounds and looks amazing, the design with the pick guard is a beautiful contrast to the body. We need more original and unique guitars in the world, keep up the amazing work and thank you for the video. It was very relaxing to watch.
Wow, man. That's awesome! As a soon to be first time guitar builder, can I just take a moment to recognize the dedication and passion for learning this kind of work takes? You are a rare person and I applaud you! Have a great day and good luck in the build off! 👍😁
thank you !
Love the commentary and the guitar awesome job man
Man, what an instrument! Great workmanship! Your humour is on point too :)
Your guitar is beautiful, your daughter is adorable and your choice of charity is truly worthy. I hope your guitar sells for thousands.
Just wonderful... everything. One can always spot the gifted. They make the astounding look effortless. Thank you for sharing your gifts!
Thanks you're too kind :)
An absolutely beautiful guitar. Great workmanship. Love it!
Well done sir! I enjoyed your build and I loved that you shared the build process with your daughter!
Amazing guitar, amazing video, amazing skills. Inspiring!! And your daughter makes the videos very light hearted.
You have an amazing talent something to be very proud of.
I've been following you since the Shelf Guitar, and was thrilled when you were selected for the GGBO Invitational. Honestly, yours is my favorite of all the guitars. Well done.
Wow thank you ! Glad to have you on board of the tchiks' awkward TH-cam boat
Quality build with excellent presentation.
Somewhat importantly, the Guitar sounds great also ... !
Somewhat importantly :p
Another guitar and another amazed Pete. One piece of cherry.... wow. I love it mate!
Thank you Pete :)
I loved your narration. I like a voice over after the video as the voice volume and clarity.
You are seriously talented my friend! Beautiful guitar!
Thank you !
As always: just a blast to watch you doing your thing! Imho you really should do more voice-overs! Your voice sounds pleasant!
Thanks ! If I had a Patreon that would be the content on it :D
I just watched this again and it felt even more amazing this time around. Can't wait for your 100k subscriber Red Special build. And TH-cam really should let us "like" a video more than once. :)
Wow. I am absolutely humbled by your craftsmanship and approach. I love the use of hand tools to craft these beautiful guitars. I hope to emulate your creativity one day. Thank you!
Thank you ! Just try it out, it's a very rewarding discipline
This is only the second of your videos that Ive seen, but I'm really enjoying them! I think your commentary is really good too and you should do it more often.
thank you!
I'm still hesitant, I think 0 talking videos are cool because they're somehow more relatable. If ishitani furniture starts talking in his videos, I would freak out
c'est magnifique ! J'enchaine toute vos video depuis 1 semaine, BRAVO !
Haha un grand merci !
Beautiful guitar and awesome sound demo!🎸❤🎸❤🎸
I really enjoyed the commentary and this is my new favorite channel on the Tube
Haha thank you ! I'll try to not let you down
Great stuff!!! Love that you have your little one in on the builds.
I have a piece of mahogany that I wanna do a 1 piece out of.
This was great!
Thanks for sharing.
Always enjoyed your designs ..... for a couple years now. Your designs capture the motion of something in a fluid state that also sounds beautiful. My favorite of yours is still the simple MoonShot.
Wrong builder :)
"How pickup rings were made in 15th century" - priceless! LOL!
Your level of craftmanship is outstanding and a great charity!
Thank you !
It was one of your videos that inspired me to start even thinking of making guitars on my own. Currently, in the process of choosing the right tools and hopefully soon to start ruining wood pieces. Thank you. You are an inspiration and your guitars are trully gorgeous.
Ahah good luck with your build ! Don't miss out my tutorial :)
I absolutely love your videos. I too want to hear more commentary. It clears up so many questions I come up with, having watched a video showing just a build.
Thank you! I don't wanna make it a habit though, there's more narrated videos than silent ones on youtube, so ..
Awesome work.
Looking great.
So many great builds this year, this wins it for me though.
Thanks so much !
Again, great work! I didn't realise it was on the invitational thingy. It shows how far your "insecurity on your artistic choices" can bring you :p
As I said, must be an intern's mistake :D
Beautiful work as always dude, and greetings from the UK.
Game over. You win. Awesome build!
I didn't know that I need to learn how to do this! 🤩 Thanks for the inspiration!
now you do, haha, it's very fun actually
Gorgeous guitar! Love your sense of humour, keep it up! And I see what you did there with that _One piece_ shirt haha
Awesome build man! Also I really enjoy your commentary, you should do it more often:)
This is such a great video!And,such a great cause!
Truly mesmerizing!
I was soooo hoping you would leave the chieselo marks on the body carve. Beautiful. You are now my favorite builder. Build on!
The joke about the fifteenth century pickup rings had me chuckling. 🤣
The way you build guitars is pure art. I just love it. I wish I’d known about this before the sale happened.
Hehe thanks you :)
Awesome craftmanship and awesome guitar.
I wish I had a guitar like this.
You can buy it if you want :)
Great build and great playing too - subscribed!
Thanks !
Wow!! love this guitar and you play great too
Amazing build and video! really enjoyed it thanks.
