My entry last year to the Great Guitar Build Off was a fun project but this year I wanted to challenge myself and build something more serious. It certainly was a challenge especially has it had to be made from recycled materials, anyway I thoroughly enjoyed making it hopefully you enjoyed the video.

As a luthier/guitar repair person I am amazed at your approach. There were a few mistakes, but considering this is your second guitar ever, and you tackled an archtop jazz guitar, which is by far the hardest to build, this is amazing. I know you didn't have time for it, but I'm sad to see the finish wasn't level sanded and polished. If you auction it off, try to get a repair shop to do a setup on it, as it greatly improves playability and I could see that the intonation on the tunomatic bridge wasn't set, so the notes won't ring cleanly. I hope this doesn't come through as a negative comment, as that wasn't my intention, just trying to give some advice. This project was truly amazing. ❤
Great video and work
Why the need to even say there were a few mistakes?
@@frikkied2638because that’s how we learn!
@@gregwilson2245 I guess you're right.
@@frikkied2638 Because there are a few mistakes. People who go out and do things often learn by getting knowledge from people who have done it already. I want honest feedback on my efforts, not empty praise for things that could be improved. If you are experienced and knowledgeable in a field, it is not helpful to do that to a fellow adult trying to develop a skill: don't simply placate with banal praise. However, you're certainly right when it comes to the opposite: empty cruelty aimed at nitpicking or tearing down somebody is even more destructive. This comment, however, does not seem like that to me. It was constructive, supportive, and listed specific practical advice and details from their experience.
You got to be kidding me... this is insane! Just yesterday i wondered when your next video will come out and now you uploaded this banger... just wow! Very well done!
I was wondering the same thing!
Neil never disappoints! Great skills.
Videos have been a bit slow lately due to them taking a while to produce. Glad you enjoyed it! :)
@@PaskMakes By all means, take your time! They are always a great watch, since you always try something new.
“I don’t know what I’m doing” and then proceeds to build this absolute work of art. Blown away as usual, it’s truly a thing of beauty
I've been playing guitar for 55 years and have owned many. I love watching luthiers build guitars from scratch.
I have to say, your meticulous work is amazing! I can't believe that you are not a professional luthier.
You take a back seat to no one. Fabulous job!
For a second guitar build, and not even being able to play one yourself, along with the deadline, this guitar has become so much more than being remarkable! And I have built guitars myself. My hat off to you, sir. Much respect.
Thanks very much! I may make another sometime, I really did enjoy it. :)
@@PaskMakes Thank you for the video! You are a wonderful master! The guitar looks very beautiful. But it seems to me that the frets should have been installed in fretboard first and then the binding. Many musicians complain that over time, with changes in temperature and humidity, the frets will protrude and injure the hand.
@@cosmicslider1307 Fret sprout can happen regardless of how the frets are installed but, luckily, it's very easy to fix.
@@FlameFlickers Yes you are right. It happens often, lucky it is not too serious.
As a luthier myself I have to say that what you did is very impressive. Amazing what a person can do when they don't sleep.
Sleep is for the weak!
that dowel and drill press trick is genius. Worth watching the video just for that 10 second clip.
I don't understand how this method works. If you're wanting the same material thickness over the entire face of the guitar, wouldn't the drill press dpeth need to change and be less as you go from the middle to the outside edge? Maybe he changes the depth as he goes along, he just doesn't mention it.
The outside is carved first, moving the body over the dowel allows you to always measure the distance to the already carved outside rather than its original overall thickness
I am so impressed with your skills not only in wood working but video production as well. THANK YOU!
Neil, I am speechless. The guitar is absolutely mind blowing and beautiful. My eyes misted a bit. You are such an amazing master craftsman and so inspirational. There will be guitar makers, making guitars their whole life, which would have a better technique. Same for life-long cabinet makers, metal workers, machinists and everything else, but you are one of a kind, Neil. You go into each field and just do it and produce things of beauty.
And even if you never make a video to be about you, your humanity shines through.
I am so grateful to TH-cam that we are able to watch master craftsmen's work. In past, that would be impossible, unless you had a lot of money, traveled far and were very lucky. And here I can look at your channel and just watch one jewel after another and be amazed.
Thank you so much!
Yeah, I felt that misted eye thing myself!
Thank you very much Jaromir! I really appreciate the very kind words. :)
As usual Neil you never cease to amaze. For a guy who’s only built another previous guitar, you took on a very difficult design and mastered it. You never cut corners. Well done. Isn’t it great when mates can help each other too! Thanks for another great video. Hope you have a very well deserved rest.
Thanks Dan! Glad you enjoyed it. It would be a little easier if I make another one as I learned a lot on this one. :)
As a professional musician, an Intermediate woodworker, and semi-pro videographer I am duly inspired. When I hear a great musical performance I pick up my guitar with renewed energy to create... when I see a skilled woodworker, I go down to my shop with renewed energy to create... I know how much time it takes to do things right. The guitar, the video takes tremendous amount of energy and skill. Only the truly dedicated can accomplish something at this level on a regular basis. You have a fan forever. Thank you for your gift of inspiration, it is appreciated.
Many people are surprised at what it takes to make an arch top guitar. There are so many specialty jigs and tools and knowledge you need. But you tackled it really well. Thanks for sharing the adventure.
Absolutely insane. The lumber you chose is so clear and pristine. Good for you for taking on another challenge.
I’m sure you must have seen Ken Parker’s videos by now based on your tools and methods.
I'm pretty sure that was not a challenge for Neil. If he built a second one, he could probably do it with his eyes closed. Yes, I believe he's that good.
Thanks very much! The wood worked well, shame about the nail holes but there weren't too many in the end. :)
@@PaskMakes It s beautiful, did you weight it?? I wonder how it compares to a Gibson in weight......It s crazy watching you work, you make it look effortless.
This is the second best looking thing you have ever made in my opinion. That Kayak is amazing. 😃
Thanks very much! :)
Your patience is inspiring. Years of perfecting your craft clearly shows!
Thank you! :)
The thing that strikes me when watching people like Pask work is the level of consistency they can get when free-handing. I really think this is the mark of a master; some sort of muscle memory from all their years of making. Great job - beautiful build!
Neil must be the best maker out there. The only maker channel I can safely say gets a like for just posting, because we know it going to be top quality.
Second that !
I'm not sure about that but thanks very much! Glad you're enjoying the videos! :)
Skill, craftsmanship and attention to detail on this is incredible but also what we’ve come to expect. Good stuff!
Thank you - glad you enjoyed it! :)
As the owner of two Hollowbody Archtop Guitars... I sat "glued" (pun) to your presentation ! Every moment of design build and the expertise of your skills with your tools and knowledge enthralled me... You have given to me a deeper appreciation of ALL my guitars, not least the two that are similar to the guitar you have just created... I shall enjoy playing them more and am inspired to 'play', with focus and patience, at least as 'good' as your creation... Also I 'noted' some of the other excellent comments of your followers (luthiers) and it is simply 'grand' that the world has such talented folk... Thanks 🤠 ! As Louis Armstrong said... "What a Wonderful World" !
The first four minutes I was like, ok I can build this. Then I decided it best to just sit back and watch a master craftsman create. What an absolutely stunning project. Incredible work. As always, blown away by the details. Thank you for sharing.
I can't believe that you made it in two weeks, with such attention to details. Great, great work!
Thank you! It was a little over two weeks and it was crazy long days, I'm still recovering now. I'm absolutely shattered. :)
Beautiful. If it ever needs a neck reset, some poor luthier is going to tear his hair out trying to get all that glue in the dovetail to release.
You are a natural at archtop building. For your first scratchbuilt guitar EVER to be an archtop hollowbody is INSANE. Good job.
How did you know that he exited the womb wood and tools in hand, Setting frets? Or did you temporarily forget all the years experience building skills?
"Он доволен процессом".Как я доволен нет слов сказать.Как классно работал ,я правда рад больше наверное чем сам мастер.Всегда восхищаюсь людьми достигшими МАСТЕРСТВА в своём ремесле.Очень рад ,что такие люди есть.Удачи и всего доброго.
Having made three solid body & one Acoustic guitar myself, the work that you did making that guitar Neil was over the top incredible mate! BRAVO! 👍👍🎸🎸👏👏
Thanks Steve - especially as you know what was involved. :)
That was utterly mesmerising ✨️✨️
This is one of my favourite things I've seen you build. There were so many difficult parts to this, and you made it look easy. Your attention to detail is exemplary👌
I loved the binding and the tailpiece. Well done, Corin, for being a great friend. What a lovely thing to do.
Thank you! I really enjoyed this one too and one of my favourite projects. I definitely didn't find it easy though, there was a fair amount of working out. Corin is really is a great mate and the tailpiece is amazing! :)
You built that in two weeks? You could have given me TWO MONTHS and I would not have come close to replicating what you accomplished. You are a true artist!
I think I'll talk for everyone by saying: get some rest now! You freaking deserved it! ❤❤
Hell of a build and video to watch. Amazing approach on so many different aspects of this project. Loved every bit of it 👍😍
Now that is an amazing Guitar Pask, your attention to detail is incredible, I can't wait to see what comes next, keep up the great work mate.
Thanks very much! :)
Neal. I love watching your videos. It dawned on me while you were working on this guitar. Why. No CNC. No lasers. Minimal power tools. Lots of hand work. True craftsmanship. I’m not opposed to any of those other things, and I watch other makers that use them, and I like those too. But I just love watching you do so much work by hand, often with tools, you’ve made yourself.
Congratulations!!! Outstanding job!
This is a bebop jazz modern jazz guitar, and the guy put fuzz on the tone!!!!! unforgivable!!!
This is a super stunning guitar neil. It must've been such a pleasurable experiance creating a master piece like this and what a privilege to play it .
Absolutely fabulous video as always mate 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks very much Ian! Maybe I should learn to play and build one for myself. I'm really not musical though. :)
@@PaskMakes I think you'd be great. I used to play up until a year ago I had a rather stupid accident and lost two fingers on my left hand so sadly I had to say goodbye to my guitar.
so sorry to hear. I'm sure you've probably seen videos of the great Django Reinhart. Best wishes.@@ianvicedomini2648
I love all the temporary jigs you create for specific jobs. I am also very jealous of your tool collection!
It was a pleasure seeing the time, care and Love you put into this build! And you have some really cool tools!
cracking job done, thanks for sharing the process.
Wow! Just WOW! A level of patience and talent I'll never have!! I thouroughly enjoyed watching you making art from scaps of wood.
You may not know guitars, but you definitely know woodworking. An impressive build.
Too bad about that butt ugly tail piece
Another great project! Always appreciate your work and the time and effort taken to share with all of us online. Thanks, Neil.
Been on the tools 37 years (and still going) as a carpenter & joiner so I've pretty much seen it all. I'm not easily impressed but I am with this build!
The level of effort you put in to all your projects is truly inspiring. Great job!
Beautiful work and results. Your "can do" attitude comes through in every word you said, and is truly inspiring. You really understand your tools and how to use them to their best effect. Congrats, and thanks for sharing your build. It was very enjoyable to watch.
Absolutely beautiful work. I am blown away by your attention to detail.
Guitarist and ersatz woodworker here. I never tire of watching this video! Relaxing and informative! Thanks for posting! 👍
Another amazing build and video from my favorite maker on TH-cam!!! You never cease to amaze me. Looking forward to your next project/video!
Thanks very much Reese - Glad you enjoyed it! :)
That is some truly beautiful workmanship and a very fine looking finished guitar. Congrats.
Thanks very much! :)
Your SECOND build? You just gave a master class in luthier"ship" Dude! Kudos
Incredible build, I love how we see a lot of the skills and ideas you had in your previous videos all come out in this build! Your atte turn to detail is impeccable! Love it! Thanks Pask!
Absolutely huge respect to you for challenging yourself to make an archtop hollowbody! Frequently among the most beautiful guitars in the shop/on the stage / in the studio. Well done!
Neil, your patience, attention to detail and craftsmanship are really highlighted in guitar making. It's a truly stunning piece. Good luck in the contest and I'm sure someone will be truly lucky and thrilled to play this one. - Chris
Thank you Chris! :)
Thank you Neil! I absolutely love this build. I was wondering when your videos were going to be out next and I do like this one a lot. That guitar is so beautiful and you did a phenomenal job on it. One love to all.
What a joy to watch this build!
Thank you for posting this!
Great work. As others mentioned I admire your patience. It's a very desirable guitar. 👍😊❤️🕊️
Great work, amazing you tackled such a difficult guitar in such a short amount of time and filmed the process. I think others have mentioned flat sanding and polishing would take the finish of this build to the next level and it needs a setup for intonation etc. but honestly almost all guitars you buy need a setup and it’s best after the wood and glue has had a few weeks to settle. Well done.
Fantastic! Great Job!! Love the neck work from scratch.
Thank you for the wonderful video!
You never fail to amaze it’s inspiring me to improve every time you put out a video. Congratulations on this tremendous guitar.
Thanks Steve - Glad you enjoyed it! :)
I have built a few electric mandolins and I can attest to the fact that they have required a lot of planning and a wide variety of tools and jigs. An amazing build here, well done.
That is absolutely beautiful carving. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Really stunning job here! A great tribute to the classic arch top guitar. Love that you went a completely different direction from last year's build. Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest!

Absolutely incredible build. Not only is it an awesome guitar, it is a piece of art. I was truly impressed, start to finish...
awesome work
A true craftsman,I must say. I enjoyed this video as much as any other guitar build I’ve ever seen. What impressed me was the little solutions I saw, ( cutting the kerf, or the variety of tools, etc.), and the ingenuity you used. Wow! Thank you! I’m now a subscriber! And, what a shop!!
Apart from an amazing build, the audio quality from your microphone was perfect. If only more TH-cam videos were this good...
absolutely beautiful. Long time since I watch you and its always a wonder watching. Way to go
WOW!! That is really beautiful craftsmanship. Top Notch!!!
Outstanding! Such attention to finish and detail, not to mention the setup work of building jigs and specialized tools. Very impressive indeed.
Awesome job! Excellent video! Bravo!
Beautiful Guitar.Amazing work!
Beautiful work .
That was awesome to watch, thanks for sharing.
This is the first video of start to finish guitar building I have watch. I'm just amazed at the skill level you are at with the tools you use and the patience and the time you put into this guitar, way to go man!
Amazing. Well done!
