Beautifully resonant and full of body and clarity. Just top shelf stuff sir. Would much rather have "Stephanie" than an overpriced R9. Well done sir. Well done.
I’ve got a guitar with sunburst urethane finish. Do you think it is possible with care to rub down the Urethane and then refinish in nitrocellulose without loosing the cherry sunburst colour please, or better to completely strip or just leave as is? Love your work and envy your skill and patience.
Hello. Thank you. If you remove the varnish, then it will certainly be removed with the paint, as it is one piece. Polyurethane varnish is removed with acetone or chiter. But the guitar will have to be completely repainted.
@@8BombCustom okay I didn’t realise that, I understand, I think I will leave it alone then. Thanks very much for letting me know so promptly. Best wishes Ian
In this video, the guitar is not completely detached yet. The action is very low and the neck is even, as it has not yet had time to bend. Thin strings are too loud, because the pickups are not quite correctly adjusted. After a couple of days, everything fell into place. Soon I will publish a video of how it sounds without connection to amp. This is an interesting experiment.
@@8BombCustom I can’t wait to here it now that everything has settled. I know there is a breaking in period where all of the components are learning to work together and I could tell you were maybe using a set of .09’s. Yet you were still able to get some solid tones out of a difficult amp already. I’ll bet unplugged she rings like a bell
I always use the standard set of Ernie Ball 10-46 strings, in my opinion this is optimal for a truthful perception of the whole construction. My Junior has been tweaked a bit and sounds clean and honest enough for optimal pickup and wood tone. I have been looking for such an option for a workshop for a long time to clearly hear the nuances in the production of pickups and track patterns. So far, he's doing well. Of course, each amplifier has its own influence on perception. But we recognize our native and familiar voice even through the intercom speaker. The experiment with recording the acoustic sound of this guitar exceeded my expectations. For a very long time I wondered how to honestly convey in recordings and videos what a musician feels and hears when listening to an unconnected guitar. And it succeeded. This was helped by a magnetic tablet pickup with a very flat frequency response for acoustic guitars. Swiss company. Awesome device and very useful. Straight like stethoscope.
Алексей! Если не затруднит, русскую дорожку бы вообще приглушить. Т.к. разные темп и интонация речи у тебя и у переводчика, то наши традиционные мягкие шипящие и ударные гласные "выстреливают" в паузах английской речи... А насчёт гитары, то очень крутой получилась. На бендах даже было слышно трение о лад, и в целом воздушно, но не легковесно. Респект!
A phenomenal sound not compressed at all and very dynamic!
Thank you
Very Nice! Lot's of work great results!! Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you
Tasty playing… this is my favorite guitar to date. Great work you keep finding a way to out do your last project. Awesome.
Thank you

Thank you!
Very sweet sounding. She's a beautiful instrument.
Thank you
She sounds as good as she looks. Another masterwork.
Thank you
A work of art!
Thank you
Can you tell me the name of the music you played from 1:18?
This track I came up with while improvising at the end of this video: th-cam.com/video/ZWQH6DPvsLw/w-d-xo.html
👍👍 Very good build

Thank you
This is amazing!
Thank you
A beautiful looking and sounding guitar, great playing too. What kind of price would one of your Les Pauls cost?
Thanks...... Mario
Thank you. Next auction on my Patreon started from 5k
great work? i wish it's possible to buy one of your les pauls
Thank you. You can subscribe to my Patreon in the Buyer level and then you will definitely not miss the auction
Sounds great! It's got the 'ping' sound that '58s, 59's and 60's have (according to Joe Bonamassa) which means you've done a good job.
Thank you
@@8BombCustom did you see the recent videos about a newly discovered burst that Bonamassa bought?
You make that blues junior breakup nicely. Very good tone. Beautiful looking and sounding guitar. How’s she play? How do you have the action set?

As soon as you hit that first note I knew it was a blues junior! They go great with Les Pauls cranked. Guitar looks and sounds beautiful Alex!
Thank you
Great Work Sir, thank you for sharing.
Still kind of tight sounding, she'll loosen up in time.
Thank you
Sounds great! How can I buy some aged pickup parts from you?
Thank you. I don't have parts for sale right now
Awesome work!! Whats the fret size?
If I remember correctly, then in my opinion 0.080 "
Thats Awesome
Thank you
Very nice
Thank you
👍👍
Hm...Why not wait a couple of days, when all parts should settle down, and after that not record a video with sound?
