Thank you so much for building such an amazing guitar and then trusting in me to pour an ocean on top of it. So grateful for your friendship and for your trust in me! Can’t wait our next play date... 😘
Why EVERYONE should make! Whether it's bada$$ guitars, clothes, artwork or homemade foods... the process and satisfaction it brings is priceless 👍 Agreed... awesome and inspirational mum! 👌
Morning Coffee with Tamar....awesome job! ....so scary ...as each step increases the risk factor!! Love love love how you resolve the problems...tapered neck jig-No Problem!
Mom of the year! You even went as far as designing your very own guitar body shape and going with a set-neck construction opposed to the simpler bolt-on. You're awesome! Your kid will never forget this gift of yours!
Not only are you a woodworking genius, you can play guitar as well, which is one of the most difficult string instruments, and no you didn't stop there, you built one too. Are you from this world Tamar? So much talent in you, you could power a small sized country with it. I will never run out of compliments for you.
@@3x3CustomTamar In this case, yes. But if you prefer your output somewhere else, you can't do that anymore. My Ormsby has the output two inches under the strap button, pointing upwards, so you can better route the output cable through your strap for safety.
I have to say, I really like that you show us when you run into hitches with your builds. It helps me to know that I'm not alone! And you always come through marvelously. BEAUTIFUL guitar! Thanks for the video!
On playing demo tuning or intonation sounded a bit off. If nut was too high, that could be the reason. Also fretboard looks too dry, some dunlop lemon oil (not normal lemon oil!!!) can fix that. Otherwise wonderful build, if you just start with project like that, i guess soon you'll make big custom shop builders shy.
You are totally right. I brought it into my local guitar shop. The tech there filed down the nut and taught me how to do it for the next one. Now it sounds great. And I used regular lemon oil 😬
@@3x3CustomTamar I loved this video, Lemon oil is not an answer, I am no guitar builder but my much respected guitar tech told me to use normal oil lemon has a chemical factor in that has a detrimental effect on wood? I have no clue but I did notice a difference when I stopped using lemon oils on my rosewood necks
@@frankquinn1296 Change your guitar tech...I've been using lemon oil since i dont know how far back, 40 or so years and never ever had any problems whatsoever
@@bazwillrun Literally every modern guitar tech/builder tells you not to use real lemon oil. Dunlop formula 65 lemon oil is not really lemon oil, so it's safe. Strong lemon oil will ruin the wood by actually drying it, and loosen loosen up the adhesives holding the fret and fretboard down. 1% or 0% lemon oils are totally safe and SHOULD be used on any non-Maple fretboard.
3x3Custom - Tamar I was also so impressed to see how little you got deterred (on camera) when drilling through the body accidentally. It was very inspiring as that would have really broken me.
Tamar - coolest mum (mom!) ever! I've watched so many guitar building vids from luthiers all over the world but I learned so much from this vid, lots of really practical common-sense tips for small-shop hobby woodworkers which I know will work well for me. Thanks so much for your expertise and positivity, just love your channel, so easy to watch and learn!
Holy smokes -- when this lady says she's gonna make a guitar, she's not kidding! No mere upgrade of a cheap kit, here! Incredible skills, beautiful results! Thanks for posting!
Awesome!!! First off you're great and do great work. Then you make your own guitar. And one for your son, who is learning to play. And it looks FANTASATIC!!! Lucky family!!
it's a beautiful guitar. I'm trying to set up a workshop in my house, inspired by your videos. I hope one day I can make a guitar like you. I want you to continue your work and continue your success.
I’m not a woodworker (but I always watch your videos), but I play electric guitar! And ”Brain Stew” is the first rock song I played on my very first electric guitar, many moons ago! The color of the wood and that painting... Wow. Wonderful, Tamar, good job. Ciao
I had said it before and I will say it one more time What an exquisite form of attention to detail What a way to create!! What a way to innovate!! I know you can overcome this achievement but I can't imagine how !
Your guitar is super cool, the wave beach accent is the perfect touch. I enjoyed watching you create this guitar, you are a great guitar builder, thanks.
Yup the ocean top made me want to build one....but then I remembered I have laundry to do and do not have the tools or skills to tackle this job.....it looks and sounds awesome though 🙂
You are so Talented, such a joy to watch I like how you explain everything so clearly. With a Mom like you I can only imagine how far your children will go in life.
This is so cool! You’ve inspired me to want to make a guitar of my own someday! BTW, tell your son he made a great choice in the song to learn to play first.
This is so cool! I wish my mom was a skilled carpenter when I was a kid! I may have started playing at a much younger age. Your son is a very lucky kid! What a great Mom!
You're the dream mom of literally every beginner guitarist ever, what a beautiful looking guitar, I hope your son has a ton of fun learning to play it.
You never cease to amaze me with your beautiful craftsmanship and your dedication. You are truly an inspiration to the entire youtube community and to me personally. Thank you for all you do.
TH-cam suggested me one of your videos couple days ago and I've got to say I'm hooked. I think what I love most is the down-to-earth-ness of it all. The way you include your mistakes and talk through your process makes it all seem so accessible. I've had a couple projects on the back burner (Designed them but not started construction) for a while now and can legitimately say your videos have inspired me to just start doing. Even if (when) I make mistakes I know sooner or later they will be finished and they will hopefully be as great as some of yours :) Thankyou for sharing your projects, I look forward to watching many more.
The neck pocket is very hard to do. Especially the first time doing it! I was nervous for you! The les paul jr. is the perfect guitar in my eyes. You really have to feel the guitar in your hand more then others because of the simple design. It makes you a better player. You nailed it! Mom of the year!!!!!
This is such a fabulous and unique project. What an incredible mother you are to make such an amazing gift for your son. The wave pattern is fantastic, but even without it, the guitar would look great. The wood itself just looks beautiful. It's pretty impressive that you made such an amazing design simply off your son's request. Absolutely killed it!
I really love the ocean design/finish on the guitar.... it's definitely a cool idea and not really anything I've seen before.... u r awesome and your son is extremely lucky
The guitar turned out awesome. It is gorgeous and I know your son will get lots of enjoyment AND COMPLIMENTS from what a spectacular guitar he has!!! I am always impressed with your talent and creativity when it comes to making your projects!
Just: WOW! And you make it look so easy to do. Before I would have never thought of building a guitar. But now you really made me want to build one myself. Thanks for that. You inspire me and - I believe - also a lot of other viewers of your videos! Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭
That is so awesome to hear. Thanks so much! I hope you do build one! Guitars are the most satisfying builds I have done so far. I can’t wait to make more
You are an inspiration. I was intimidated to make my own guitar body, but your process pretty well insures success. Best tutorial I have seen. The ocean pour could not be any better. Since you said you may make more, I would suggest you make a clamp on drill guide, for the wiring holes. You may be right about adjusting the neck angle. For a prototype build, maybe make a "bolt on" neck. Then you could deliberately reduce the angle, install test strings, and tweak you router guide angle as needed. For certain if you bought a nut, it will need to be filed for the range of string weights you want to use. For a solid body, "rock" guitar, a set of strings gauged from 10 - 46 is a good starting point. The nut files are a bit pricey. I have heard a set of gas welding torch, tip cleaning wires, will work. I have not tried that however. Great job!
I like how your thought process is explained. It’s a lot different than what I’ve seen from other builders but that’s great. It seems like since you’re not regularly building guitars you were more conservative(safe) in your approach which makes sense to me who also doesn’t build guitars regularly.
Wow. Coolest mom ever! When I was boy (many years ago), my mother gave me the gift of music, in the form of guitar _lessons_. I realized FAR later in life how special that was. Someday your son will realize how special it is to have his mother BUILD a guitar for him! However proud you are today for creating this will come back tenfold whenever he fully appreciates the gesture.
From Leo: Great Job! to avoid the difficult hole for the bridge ground, just drill from the pickup cavity to the bridge bushing hole and drag the wire under the pickup through the pickup wire hole, works perfect. Been there, done that.
Awesome build 👍😎 You are right about the nut needing to be filed lower to get the action down on the low frets. I typically use a pencil that I have sanded basically in half down the center, it gives a nice flat edge you can rest on the first 2 - 3 frets then you just draw a line on the nut. It will be level with the fret height then just file the slots to the very top of that line, that should give you the perfect amount of clearance and a nice low action on your low frets (nearest the nut). If your action on the other end is too high then you need to lower the bridge, if that gives you fret buzz then either your frets need to be redone or you don't have enough relief in the neck (concave in the middle by about 0.5mm - 1mm). This is just a rough guide, you can easily find exact measurements online but for a quick setup this is what I typically do and it works very well. You can also get your action even lower if you do a tapered level on your high frets (nearest bridge). I typically tape some thin cardboard from the 12th fret to about the 7th fret then resting your leveling beam on that you will get a slight taper toward the 22nd fret (or 24th if it is a 24 fret neck). Mark your frets with a sharpy and sand down until all the frets are now leveled to the taper. I do this on all my guitars I use for heavier stuff that likes a low action. You can taper from higher up the fretboard or lower as you prefer but personally I find tapering from the 12th down gets the action I like. Make sure you recrown the frets when done. I wish I had all the tools I need to build my own guitars but I don't have the space for them all so I have to settle for modifying my existing ones :)
I thought your mini Cross sled was brilliant and all your other videos but this is the best thing that I have seen anyone make, come on "a guitar " you have talent Tamar
