In Scotland, distillers use barrels until they fall apart, but in the usa...distillers can only fire and use them once. So nice to see such a work of sonic art out of wood that can only hold whiskey once...nice!
I know exactly what you mean about the whiskey smell. At work one time a few years ago, I ran out at lunch time and bought two half-whiskey barrels to plant roses in for my back patio. Had a VW van at the time and it was rainy, so I left the windows closed. When I got in after work to drive home, the interior aroma would knock you out! You're an amazing guitarist, Justin. Love all your videos!
There were two men who, when they walked into a room full of great guitars, the guitars got nervous, began sweating, worried that they wouldn't be good enough for these guitar players....... We lost one, SRV....... But make no mistake about it my friends.....Justin Johnson carries on without peer. What a fantastic talent! Thank you for showing us how to "un box" a guitar! ;)
I saw your BLACK one you made for Justin... you Guys keep the flavor of the Appalachian in your guitars!!! I'm down in Chatt., and I love your work!!! 🐺
Justin...ha ha...its always great getting a new guitar isn't it? That one is just plain beautiful!! Hope you have many years of fun playing through it.
You guys nailed it with that jack Daniels guitar , sooo cool ! And the blackened finish on Justin’s giveaway guitar is sweet , looks killer and sounds amazing with that pickup selection !
Big D Whiskey Barrel Guitars!!! The Truly Authentic Whiskey Barrel Guitar, a Double Cut Above The Competition!!! Everything Else is just Everything Else!!!! I'm sure these Headstock's won't crack. JJ is a Transendant Talent, born with a cylinder on his ring finger, there's no doubt about it... Stay Thirsty My Friend....
I watched part of the build and didn't realize the guitar was being built for you! That's an awesome one to add to your collection! Man it's nice! I love it!
Amazing guitar! Big D really rocks the world, this guitar needs to be in all the magazines, it just looks and damn, sounds! So Great! Big D, you did a super job with this one!
Man.....great sound, and awesome look. Oak is a great wood, made me a jazzbass once, deep sound with a bright top, though my tools got dull faster than other wood.
Unbelievable how Justin picks up a new instrument and produces beautiful songs right away. Fantastic looking guitar and an incredibly talented player. So thankful that you share your talent with us Justin and keep rocking on.
Man to win this considering my tele is unplayable due to a re-fret this would really be special to me to get the blues back in my hands baby unfortunately can’t afford it due to the pandemic this would be the best treat
I went to high school with this guy. I've been watching your PRS builds. Thanks for your help. The world is getting smaller. South Brunswick high school isn't a bragging point 😂😂
Quick question, hardtail bridge, set neck PRS style I don't think I need to angle it but what is the rough depth? When I get close ill keep fitting and removing till its right.
Hey Justin Johnson try a Seymour Duncan hot rails Style Blues pickup with a sustainiac it would be a good combo whether you're using slide or fretting techniques and locking tuning keys

Amazing guitar! Big D really rocks the world, this guitar needs to be in all the magazines, it just looks and damn, sounds! So Great! Big D, you did a super job with this one!
He knows sooo much about the different Luther's and the histories of the different model hes soo cool

That was sitting on his door step? The UPS has to hold that kind of thing. Good thing it wasn't stolen!
Love that guitar, and I'd love it more if I could play it like you.
Love the playing Justin ....very original and unique thank you ! ......Question what wood is the neck made of and fretboard ? Beautiful Tele
Man.....great sound, and awesome look. Oak is a great wood, made me a jazzbass once, deep sound with a bright top, though my tools got dull faster than other wood.
JJ, you are amazing. The best.
Great finger picking Justin.. That walking bass style is timeless. You did Big D proud with this demo video!

Amazing guitar man! And unreal playing! Love it!
Sounds great! Man you definitely got the mojo workin'! And this spiffy guitar should smell whiskey! Cool. Keep playing! Best regards.
i love your style
I just discovered your channel. Thanks for posting.
"I'm glad those Nashville guitarists stay in Nashville. If they spread around too much, I'd be out of a job."
Wise words of Jeff beck.
beyond words, time for him to do a world tour, europe would recieve him with open arms that's for sure
That is totally amazing. It looks like the hardware had some relicing done to it.
Unbelievable how Justin picks up a new instrument and produces beautiful songs right away. Fantastic looking guitar and an incredibly talented player. So thankful that you share your talent with us Justin and keep rocking on.
its not like you need to relearn the instrument when you pick up a new one...
Damn Justin. Your style is sticky sweet...and that axe is amazing as well.
I thought BD guitars moved to Nashville?He does mae awsome guitars and fantastic finishes!!Cheers
I came back to chicago. Job moved me.
yea one day i will own one of these sweet baby's JJ you rock!!!!
Awesome guitar , I would love to have that beauty !
What's up dude Still rocking it out
Man to win this considering my tele is unplayable due to a re-fret this would really be special to me to get the blues back in my hands baby unfortunately can’t afford it due to the pandemic this would be the best treat
This baby plays itself he says-This from a guy that could play Carnegie Hall on a shovel!!! Great new guitar Justin. You make it sound better.
Must be nice playing on that porch with only the noise of a warm ambient guitar, keep rockin bro
I went to high school with this guy. I've been watching your PRS builds. Thanks for your help. The world is getting smaller.
South Brunswick high school isn't a bragging point 😂😂
haha. Where Wilmington NC?
@@bigdguitars we all say Wilmington but its really Southport. He was good then, I haven't seen much of his stuff since.
thats pretty cool its a small world for sure. He is making a good name for himself in nashville. Been great working with him, super nice guy.
Quick question, hardtail bridge, set neck PRS style I don't think I need to angle it but what is the rough depth? When I get close ill keep fitting and removing till its right.
Muito bom.
Gosto e curto demais seu trabalho.
Iappreciante that !
Os brasileiros estão em toda parte
mannnnnnn........no words to say......fantastic!
wicked sounded guitar and song !
20:47 I too was thinking he was getting a bit 'jazzy' there! /sarcasm
Absolutely astounding! Such pleasing sounds to the ear.
lucky dog,😶A plus from big D. rock on....thank you for the fun!...sounds perfect...land o' lakes, WI.usa
Just one word to say at this stage.....LEGEND!!!

I'll be curious to know if the whiskey smell will still be there in a year or so
of course.
Those are some SICK struts yer slappin out there dude!
Very enjoable, thanks for posting!
Hey Justin Johnson try a Seymour Duncan hot rails Style Blues pickup with a sustainiac it would be a good combo whether you're using slide or fretting techniques and locking tuning keys
Nice guitar, BigDGuitars! I love the barnwood. Rosewood fretboard? I wonder how red oak would do. That stuff is rock hard.
Love this guitar!
has a very jazzy tone...surprised that wood held the sound so well. Oh yeah, watched BigD make that distinctive piece.
You could give this guy a shoe box and some fishing line and he would find a way to make it sound good
Have you seen the Vids of
him shredding on a shovel?
A SHOVEL!?
Very funny...
Agree 100%
@@teddyabearo1066 yeah I’ve got 7 guitars and he plays a shovel better than I could dream of.😂
Great guitar. My only problem with them is they don't make left handed ones of these as of yet.
Love his style.
Do you sing as well ? You sound like some influence may be Johnny Winters style of slide.?
Justin you play that new guitar like it was an old friend.
sign a a great made guitar.
I know Big D's like in the promo and Jack Daniels ain't mad either
Awesome musician great craftsmanship the Two are marriage made in heaven
17:21 Great blues impro and great guitar too, real musician pro
The Player is everything!
YOU COULD MAKA A WASHBOARD SOUND DAM GOOD LOVED IT!!!
17:20 sounds like a player three times his age. Awesome.
The slide at 23 mins. 😮
