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!
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!!! 🐺
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!
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 !

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!
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.
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.
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.
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 watched Big D make that guitar and it couldn't have gone t a better guitarist pure magic right out of the box,much respect how long have you being playing? Cheers

Came here from BigD's channel. Beautiful build, beautiful playing.
Love your videos Justin. Always interesting and love the music. Thanks!
Thumbs up for all the music playing bro!!
Beautiful guitar! And some really nice playing!
That was sitting on his door step? The UPS has to hold that kind of thing. Good thing it wasn't stolen!
Great playing and beautiful guitar!
That sounds GREAT. Surprised the oak sounds that "tame". That project really came together well.
You are incredible Justin. From Elkhart Indiana
What a cool cat. I live in Nashville and haven't yet heard of Justin. I will be seeking out his talent. Great guitar and player.
Sounds awesome! Great job Big D!
I don't know how much you like blues harmonica,but I love playing along with you,I usually play a G Or E it sounds awesome
He knows sooo much about the different Luther's and the histories of the different model hes soo cool
You make beautiful guitars. I really like the whiskey barrel Teles.
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!
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.😂
Justin that part you start playing at 12:40 is one I the best things I have ever heard ..love it
Sounds great! Man you definitely got the mojo workin'! And this spiffy guitar should smell whiskey! Cool. Keep playing! Best regards.
"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.
Great finger picking Justin.. That walking bass style is timeless. You did Big D proud with this demo video!
Love the playing Justin ....very original and unique thank you ! ......Question what wood is the neck made of and fretboard ? Beautiful Tele
beyond words, time for him to do a world tour, europe would recieve him with open arms that's for sure
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!
Beautiful guitar and you play so well too, make that guitar sing dude.
Thanks for an awesome review. And you're playing out the guitar was also great
Love that guitar, and I'd love it more if I could play it like you.

20:47 I too was thinking he was getting a bit 'jazzy' there! /sarcasm
Absolutely astounding! Such pleasing sounds to the ear.
That is totally amazing. It looks like the hardware had some relicing done to it.
From the very first note! You are on fire!!! When you comin to L..A. Cali???
Must be nice playing on that porch with only the noise of a warm ambient guitar, keep rockin bro
Beautiful guitar
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.
Wow, just wow. Great guitar, great player. I'm thinking about oak for my next lap steel build.
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...
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.
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.
this guys got to go places....he's a classic
I thought BD guitars moved to Nashville?He does mae awsome guitars and fantastic finishes!!Cheers

You've got great chops, man.
Very enjoable, thanks for posting!
you are one lucky dude !!!!! wow - nice one !!
Do you sing as well ? You sound like some influence may be Johnny Winters style of slide.?
Nice guitar, BigDGuitars! I love the barnwood. Rosewood fretboard? I wonder how red oak would do. That stuff is rock hard.
Love his style.
17:20 sounds like a player three times his age. Awesome.
Love this guitar!
mannnnnnn........no words to say......fantastic!
Great guitar. My only problem with them is they don't make left handed ones of these as of yet.
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
WHOA!!!!! ONE OF A KIND GUITAR FOR THE ONE N ONLY GUITAR GOD, JUSTIN JOHNSON!!!!!!!!!
I watched Big D make that guitar and it couldn't have gone t a better guitarist pure magic right out of the box,much respect how long have you being playing? Cheers
he's like a kid in a candy shop , its cool to watch him unbox a new toy !
I'll be curious to know if the whiskey smell will still be there in a year or so
of course.
17:21 Great blues impro and great guitar too, real musician pro
When SRV left this shitty world, his last words were "Somebody tell Justin to cover my shifts."
