Awesome, watching this guitar come together in person, and thoroughly enjoyed watching every second of this video. We couldn't have asked for a better way to launch the new student facilities at Crimson. This whole week with you and Matt was filled with fun and laughter. Thank you so much, when are you coming back...
Do you do acoustic guitars as well. I've been wanting to build a Lexan acoustic electric guitar but am certain it is beyond my skills to do so. I purchased all the materials years ago, thinking I would build one for my daughters 18th birthday/graduation gift. She is now turning 34...
@AprilWilkerson thanks for taking us along! I'm the one trying to start my own woodworking business repurposing and refurbishing items to keep them out of the landfill. Unfortunately, hubby is not really interested. He is however the guitarist in our relationship. (The only musical instrument I play is the stereo...hehehe!) He could not stop watching this one with me so thanks for that!
I was so mad with youtube yesterday when I tried to view this and it was gone . I do alot of diy projects and play guitar a little. I watched many of your videos and love them. When I watched this video I was thinking dang is there anything this girl cannot do. Awesome work April keep it up and the videos coming,,you have such a wealth of info. Thank you for your time in making these videos.
@@scotttovey LOL. I was surprised this morning when I received it again ,,thinking what in the hell is youtube doing this has happened on several videos.
I LOVE your reaction when you drew your first cut on the neck with the Shinto Rasp... I've yet to meet a woodworker who doesn't instantly fall in love with these rasps when they discover them... I saw Ben use one on Crimson videos, and thought "Hmm, I might try one of those"... I'm now hooked and own several of them...
This was perhaps the most fun week we've ever had - it was an absolute pleasure to be a part of it! Re-living all these moments on video is so much fun. Very much looking forward to welcoming you back to the UK very soon. Can't wait to do another big build with you and Matt next year - onwards and upwards!
It's so Cool to see three of my favorite Woodworking Artist come together showcasing their Love of the arts in one Video. A big THANK YOU goes to TRITON for making this possible. Not only did you put smiles on April, Matt, and Ben's Face's you put one on mine as well. Thank you, It's great to see that WOODWORKING is a Family tradition, and your making the family bigger Triton. Thanks again. April, Great Video!!! can't wait for the Finished product video. Matt and Ben, Hope to see your versions of this great build soon..
This could have been 4 hours and we still would have watched every moment. Didn't plan to make a guitar... ever... But now we feel we have to. Thanks April, Matt, Crimson and Triton!
Watching the Triton video this morning I couldn't help but smile when I couldn't figure out who laughed and giggled more. You or Matt. It is great when folks enjoy themselves and share that happiness with others.
Back in the 1960's the legendary guitarist Chet Atkins said in an interview that he believed making a guitar wasn't so hard. He had been playing and making records and working on his guitars for over 10 years at that time. He purchased a kit, an acoustic model, not electric, and began to assemble. He had a workshop so he thought he was prepared. He spent months building and assembling this guitar. When it was completed it was awful. He said his appreciation for true luthiers was enhanced 10 fold. Your neck build looks really good so far. I'm watching this instrument completed! You go, girl! 🎵👍
Yea well, must be said that wood quality is much more important for an acoustic Guitar and the body is surely more difficult to assemble, than an Electric 1.
One tip for you in the future on doing Bow ties to make it easier. Cut out the shape on some fairly thin plywood. Then shape the thin plywood to the exact surface you want. You can then use it as a router template for your thicker pieces. Faster method since the shaping job is on a thinner templace piece. You can use a small chisel plane to clean it up if your template isn't just right. Nice tribute to Nakashima!
I personally love how natural wood looks on things that are built...cant wait for another project and maybe even a collab with Anne Of All Trades....another great project...Thanks for the building inspiration
That was nice to watch. To see individual pieces of wood become a guitar always amazes me and is never boring to watch. I can't wait for your next video.
Thoroughly enjoyed this vid. I'm a lifelong guitar player and have often flirted with the idea of building my own guitar. So, right now, I'm living vicariously through you. Nicely done.
I actually seen part 2 of this first ,just wanted to say that you made a beautiful guitar and with the same excellent craftsmanship you put into everything you do i love it! 👍👍👍👍👍
That is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G, April!! I'm a guitarist myself and got into woodworking to eventually become a luthier. I would DEFINITELY buy that guitar if I seen it for sale! NICE JOB!!!
Hey April, this is pretty cool! Guitars is what got me interested in woodworking and made me find your channel, a few years back. A less relevant note: I was watching this on my tv and could hear the wind blowing in your microphone. If you set a low cut (or high pass) filter on your audio, at about 120hz, it should be gone.
April, I'm a huge fan of both your & Crimson's channels. So this video was a pleasantly unexpected surprise. Almost jealous that you got to build a guitar @ Crimson. Looking forward to see how you might use Ben's masking tape & super glue trick in your builds. And of course, looking forward to the body build for this guitar. Take care.. 🤘
Did you enjoy the unusually hot weather and lack of air-conditioning over there? Seriously though, I can't wait for the body video - and using a spindle sander as a sort of vertical drum sander/thickness-er is genius!
Can I just say I'm subbed to both of y'all for years and was really surprised when this collaboration happened the is by far my #1 favorite video right now 2 of my favorite TH-camrs coming together 🤘
Awesome video, I hope to one day go and build a guitar at crimson as well after building a number of kits recently. Just fyi, the reason you first sand all the frets flat is so that they are all level, which enables you to do a better setup in the long run eliminating fret buzz and other problems. After that the frets are rounded off to make the tuning on these frets more consistent.
You sand the frets flat so that they are level. If you leave it the way it is when you hammer them in, they will be at different heights. Then you crown them so that only a small amount of each fret pushes on the string, giving you more precision.
Great job on the neck. I know it's tedious and sometimes hard work. The neck is the most important part of how the guitar will sound and play when done. The more time spent on making it perfect will be appreciated when you play it.
April saw the beginning of you making your guitar on the Triton channel. Then I saw this thinking it was the next video on the Triton channel. Upon realizing my mistake I promptly sub your channel and turned on the notification bell. I'll say this I like your guitar better because your wood has more character.
You level the frets because if the frets aren't level the string will buzz against frets further down the fingerboard. Imagine you are fretting at the third fret but the 5th fret is higher than the third fret. Afterwards you round over the fret again because you want the string to only contact the fret at one point (ideally the middle). Else you might get fret buzz.
I was surprised to find two of my favorite TH-camrs in one video (Crimson Guitars and April Wilkerson)... I had subscribed to both of them for different reasons... but to my surprise, they appear in this video together. I play guitar and I love woodworking... so I guess I shouldn't have been surprised.
I know its not a contest, but I do think you beat Matt on the guitar design.... :D What's more important than that though is that you ended making a musical instrument, learned a lot of new skills as well as an appreciation for the craftsmanship of these instruments, and most of all, looked like you had a LOT of fun in the process too.
This was much better than the video Triton put out. TY for sharing. Looks fun. I've been wanting to visit and learn from Ben and Chris for a very long time. Come on lottery $$.
Awesome work April! 😃👍🏻🎸👊🏻 .... With all of the tedious steps and sanding it looks like a real pain in the neck! 😉 You did a great job making it seem like there was nothing to fret about! 😁
When you install the frets they may not be completely in line or level up and down the neck. If they are not perfect they will cause one or several strings to buzz when fretted and not produce a crisp clear note. So you install them, level them and then round them once more.
Wow! I've always been fascinated about your builds, but I never thought that I'd get to see you build a custom guitar!! I'm looking forward to seeing more of what you can offer ^^
Wow April this is awesome opportunity, wished i could play guitar and better yet build my own to fit me. I have Scleroderma and my fingers are all crippled up making it feel impossible to play :( but i enjoy watching you build this
THIS ... is very close to go onto the bucket list! 1200km away and more fun than any freakin' holidays in the sun can ever be!!! Hmmm ... in a few years I'd love to give it a go!!! :D Then maybe I can make more guitars ... and yes, I'm a guitarist! AAAWWWooooW! Now I got ants in my brain hahaha!
Beautiful work, as usual. Maybe just a little bit more detail work than usual for you, but so worth it, don't you think? Love the bow-ties in the fret-board and body. Killer looking guitar!
Cool, I've been waiting for this video since I met you at Crimson Guitars and then at Makers Central. I'm looking forward to the next video. I hope you picked up a set of those strap-locks I recommended for you to get. Excellent video.
That looks like Macasser ebony. A few questions, what is the radius of the fretboard, what's the nut width, what is the thickness at the first fret and the top fret, what size fret wire did you use, what pickups are you using and what was the final cost? I've assembled a few guitars from parts I bought from Warmoth, but I've never tackled a project like this.
Cool seeing the meticulous attention to detail needed, just like Anne 's mandolin, is it just a coincidence you both showed your builds within weeks of each other?, Is there plans afoot for you two, maybe Matt also, to jam together?, Great video
The best part of wood working is that if you want a exact copy of something you can get a computer to do the work for you..... BUT ..... if you want to make it "YOURS" then it takes your hands to make it work.........My Dad told me never to admit a mistake, just claim that is just the way you wanted it ........ all these years later and I never make mistakes !
First - nice video, guitar is looking sweet. Was wondering if you'd be uploading also after watching the first day on Triton's channel. But the wind/thunder coming through my speakers was wigging me out!
Awesome, watching this guitar come together in person, and thoroughly enjoyed watching every second of this video. We couldn't have asked for a better way to launch the new student facilities at Crimson. This whole week with you and Matt was filled with fun and laughter. Thank you so much, when are you coming back...
Aw thanks guys. That was by far the best week of my 2019 and probably one of my all time favorite builds. Big hug from Texas to all of you!
Two of my favorite woodworking channels working together, awesome! Looks like you all had a great time. Cheers from Arizona!
April Wilkerson: Don’t you mean “to all ya‘ll“?
Do you do acoustic guitars as well. I've been wanting to build a Lexan acoustic electric guitar but am certain it is beyond my skills to do so. I purchased all the materials years ago, thinking I would build one for my daughters 18th birthday/graduation gift. She is now turning 34...

That’s an awesome guitar you are building there, April! I’m a guitar player as well as a DIYer and that looks like LOTS of fun!
thank you April . i am working on making the forms for a classical guitar now tons of work to go before i ever start on the build . its lots of fun .
Oh that will be fun! Enjoy yourself and the build. : )

The body portion will be out next week. It isn't a tease, I just can't cram in all the information into a single video. : )
@@AprilWilkersonIt's my curiosity that is teasing me!! LOL
Three of my favorite channels. The only way it could have been better: This Old Tony making your tuners, and Abom79 making the bridge (or vice versa).
And AvE could make the pick ups
Awesome video, I hope to one day go and build a guitar at crimson as well after building a number of kits recently.

I was a luthier for several years and it's so exciting to see you try it out! Be careful though, as it is highly addictive.
: ) Oh that's awesome. Yes Matt left the experience saying he was going to go home and build more. Ha.
That's a great looking guitar. The bow ties were a perfect touch.
Looks like you had a blast making the Bowtar! Looking forward to seeing the body build video, then hearing you play it!
Great job on the neck. I know it's tedious and sometimes hard work. The neck is the most important part of how the guitar will sound and play when done. The more time spent on making it perfect will be appreciated when you play it.
This is fantastic. I also love seeing your interaction with Matt. So much laughter and silliness only makes any experience better. :)
Surprised to see both of my favorite channel in one video.. You're so lucky to see the most complicated 90 hrs guitar build of ben. Cheers.

Such a cool mash up of channels I never imagined would get together!

This was an excellent description of how to build and electric guitar! Thank you for blazing this trail for me
You picked the right shape for the body, I have always wanted to build my own, lucky!
Glad you like it! I'm fond of the body shape as well
I built a acoustic Taylor guitar in high school and it came out beautiful it was a lot of fun

I got a notification of this video yesterday, and I was looking for it. Great Job!
it was up for awhile then was taken down.
There was an issue with previous version so had to start fresh.
@@AprilWilkerson Ok! Thank you! Great job like always!
I know its not a contest, but I do think you beat Matt on the guitar design.... :D
What's more important than that though is that you ended making a musical instrument, learned a lot of new skills as well as an appreciation for the craftsmanship of these instruments, and most of all, looked like you had a LOT of fun in the process too.
Using the sander as a thicknesser is a great tip! I'll have to try making a jig for my belt sander
Yes I'll be keeping that trick in my back pocket as well!
April that’s beautiful work! May I suggest a project? I am a quilter and I would love to see you build a quilting frame!!!
OR, make a full-size loom!!!
Or make a quilt design out of wood.
This was an awesome video! Three of my most watched channels combined into one!
Thanks!
I watched this yesterday as it popped up as new this morning? 😯
it got pulled while I was watching it. I thought YT had a hiccup again and refreshed when there were no comments and got the "user pulled" note
Yep sorry about that guys, I had an issue with it so I had to start fresh.
No problem was hoping it was day 2 for this morning's post.😢

Awesome work April! 😃👍🏻🎸👊🏻 .... With all of the tedious steps and sanding it looks like a real pain in the neck! 😉 You did a great job making it seem like there was nothing to fret about! 😁
Very nice. I'm just curious as to why you didn't put single bowties at frets 3,5,7,9,15,17 etc.
Probably because that’s a lot of work
Wow. Jealous. :) Ben and Chris are awesome. Been following Crimson Guitars for a long time now. Wasn't expecting this particular collaboration. :)
This was awesome and the detail is great. Love the Crimson channel too!
Glad you enjoyed it!

That looks like Macasser ebony. A few questions, what is the radius of the fretboard, what's the nut width, what is the thickness at the first fret and the top fret, what size fret wire did you use, what pickups are you using and what was the final cost? I've assembled a few guitars from parts I bought from Warmoth, but I've never tackled a project like this.

My experience with sycamore is that it's good for building pallets. Who knew it would stand up to tight guitar strings?
