This has GOT to be the Most entertaining Build I've ever seen... The 40 euros for the robes. And the vice grip garage reference... Learning all the new tech terms. "Whatchamacallit and thingamabob"...and the radio dial planer adjustment... And the Fact that this is one Kick A$$ Axe ... Subscribed and liked
@@Kiiras feel free to make a video of the whole build, you can even show my mediocre photoshop montages. But yes, glue spreading videos would be a treat I can be happy with!
I'll have to invest in one of your builds one day! So refreshing to see a luthier specialising in metal axes instead of the usual semi hollow jazz shit. You rock! 🤘
My semi-hollow is the best high gain metal guitar i own. It has an evil sounding low mid voice that none of the rest have. Its a Grote 335 copy that i upgraded with all quality parts.
Man, once I have practiced enough that I feel worthy of such a beautiful instrument, I'm gonna order a RRouta for sure. I must've clicked through your configurator at least ten times by now.
Now THAT, is a V...Awesome guitar, Amazing craftsmanship. Well done and thanks for the video, so much work that goes into it but the end result is really worth the effort and I cannot wait to hear "No One Answers" played through that Beast.
How backed up are you? Do you personally do every build? Woodworking is addicting. Love seeing you build a masterpiece! Will check out your website. Have a happy day everyone.
Hey! Quite backlogged at the moment. I have 40 guitars in my production queue, but I'm questimating that I can finish 3-4 guitars per month now that I have found a capable apprentice to help me out in the workshop. So about a year's wait, give or take.
Do you feel laminated necks are stronger? I do.... There is some luthier on YT caliming that laminated necks are NO stronger or more stable than 1 piece necks. I think he is on dope
@@Kiiras this other dude swears its not stronger, i said "butcher blocks dont warp, because theyre laminated pieces of wood....they get wet and pounded their whole life like a cheap whore and keep shape" He would say "well a butcher block isnt under tension like a blah blah" or when I mentioned skateboards...dudes a dip shit
84 yrs?? Damn. It takes me 92 1/3 yrs to get to the output jack route point. (Because it's blind on a ML) ... The dustificator 3000..?. My "Go To" tool is the 3" Belt sander ... But .. to rach. Their Druthers 🤔
What monetary unit do you accept? I tried customizing an axe on your site and it came out to like “3.215,00”. I got no idea what the hell that is. I’m in the USA
Hey! I'm Finnish (and my workshop is in Finland), hence the "finnish" jokes 😁 Yes, I can ship to Canada. I have some information on the pricing for overseas shipping on my website (at the bottom of the page): kiirasinstruments.com/online-order-form-information-help/ You can use the online order form on my website to check the price for a guitar with your preferred specs. If there's anything you don't find there / need any additional info, just drop me an email and I'll reply ASAP.
The sidedots are Luminlay (= glow in dark & UV). At one point I was thinking to start doing blind fret slot and spherical fret ends, but decided against them on two major points: 1) Around half of my guitars stay in Finland. The winter is brutal here, and the fretboard shrinks during the dry winter air on every new guitar here causing fret sprout, more on cheap guitars, less on more expensive / well made guitars. So the spherical fret ends would be meaningless after the guitar's first year as they needed to be re-dressed, and the sphericalness shape would be lost. 2) Cost. I guestimated that both blind fret ends and the spherical fret ends would take somewhere between 5-7 hours of extra work on them (just a bound fretboard is easily 1.5hrs of extra work on fret install alone!), meaning easily 300-500€ extra cost on the guitar for, what feels to me like, a minor cosmetic upgrade. Yes, I've played a 5000€ Ruokangas guitar (10 years ago, would be closer to 7000€ nowadays) which had both of these features, and it didn't *feel* any different to play. Looked very nice, but no change in feel. I prefer to keep my guitars more on the affordable side (1695€ gets you a bolt-on playable guitar with basically all basic specs as Eric's guitar), the high-end would also clash with the more rustic style of finish I actually prefer and which keeps the relative price lower. #walloftext #doigivetoocomprehensivereplies #surelynot #hashtagsfromhell 😁
@@Kiiras thx for the answer. I've only heard to avoid glue at all cost on the trussrod, thus my surprise. Indeed, isn't that glue avoiding the truss action , by blocking it somehow?
Nope, doesn't affect it all. All the moving parts on the truss rod are proctected by the black plastic film around it, so the glue doesn't really get into direct contact with anything mechanical. Glue might have been an issue with the old-timey one-way truss rods, but for the ca. 200 guitars (kiirasinstruments.com/EVR-GTR) I've built this way, I've never had a problem with it.

Somehow I find the parts where you spray the glue with a stick (17:33, for example) to be very, and yet oddly, satisfying. 😆
I'll have to take glue spread videos for you when I'll start building your guitar then 😁👌

Awesome build man!!
And a funny Vice Grip Garage reference also 😂
I love VGG!
Glad you're back.
Definitely my favourite guitar crafting channel.
wonderfully built...I would like one as original as the ones you make, they are a perfect creation...greetings from Chile. 🤟😎 Lautaro.
YESH! 14:15 All of them! 😀
Killer build as always man! Wish I could afford some of these beasts! Looks super awesome when you split and mirrored the spalted wood for the body!
@2:50 holy shit 😮. That's one hell of a strong neck.
Now THAT, is a V...Awesome guitar, Amazing craftsmanship. Well done and thanks for the video, so much work that goes into it but the end result is really worth the effort and I cannot wait to hear "No One Answers" played through that Beast.
Love your videos and your guitars !
The red on the spalted is totally sick man !
I wish I could afford one of your guitar one day !
Sickkkk!!!!!!
Love the humor and editing!
Stunning guitar. Very well done.
This is just outstanding craftsmanship! 👏🤘🍻
F’N sick! I love this. 💪
Thank you for the video. Makes me happy.
Makes me want to move to Europe just to get one of your fiddles man. Killer work, awesome videos.
I ship worldwide, no problems there 😅👌
Kahler!! ❤❤❤
Super cool! 👌
excellent builder!
Dude you are a scream! Awesome Axe, awesome channel!
Good work!
2:55 holy fuck! That's quality man! Amazing build!
Perfect metal axe
class great stuff
Cool Video. Would like to know who the guitar shredder is in the background music?
so badass
Awesome build and superb reference to Monty Python!! Bring out your dead!!!!😀
Sick guitar! :)
AWSOME!
Great to see a build with a Kahler tremolo. But your custom V is an esp Arrow II production model?
Similar model, but different. The Arrow 2 is asymmetric model, the Valkyrie is symmetrical.
That's a Nice Rack You've got there....do you air dry and season wood there too?

What is instrumental music? Ca. 18:30
Beautiful guitar! Great job!
May I ask, what is the name of the tool you use on the frets at 25:50?
That's a standard 0° / 30° angled file, most luthier's shops sell them, like Guitars & Woods in Europe and StewMac in US.
@@Kiiras Ok! Thank you!
Killer! \m/
Great video - laughed a lot and that axe is brutal (though why would a Fin need to consult the 'book of Malmsteen'? 😆)
The Old Man works in mysterious ways 🙏
Aww shit my guy used "The Fiery Furnace" by Ethan Meixsell @17:49
sick
Little homage to Monte Python there...I like it.
Beautiful guitar. Only problem is, now all mine don't look so eye catching. Jealousy has spoken.
entertainig vid as always !
ps: would love to see how you build a bass.. :)
Bass for sure at some point. I have an idea about which one, but can't make promises yet.
Do you feel laminated necks are stronger? I do....
There is some luthier on YT caliming that laminated necks are NO stronger or more stable than 1 piece necks. I think he is on dope
Let's just ask then why plywood exists 🤔😁
@@Kiiras this other dude swears its not stronger, i said "butcher blocks dont warp, because theyre laminated pieces of wood....they get wet and pounded their whole life like a cheap whore and keep shape" He would say "well a butcher block isnt under tension like a blah blah"
or when I mentioned skateboards...dudes a dip shit
And then? Lol
Great job. Very entertaining and informative.
84 yrs?? Damn. It takes me 92 1/3 yrs to get to the output jack route point. (Because it's blind on a ML)

Couple missed opportunities here. I'd have done blind frets spherical fret ends and glow side dots but otherwise killer guitar
The sidedots are Luminlay (= glow in dark & UV).

@@Kiiras fair enough the build quality looks top notch
glueing the trussrod????????? really?
Sure, why not? Fill the gaps, keeps the truss rod from rattling / vibrating about, and keeps it in place so it won't come out when at zero position.
@@Kiiras thx for the answer. I've only heard to avoid glue at all cost on the trussrod, thus my surprise. Indeed, isn't that glue avoiding the truss action , by blocking it somehow?
Nope, doesn't affect it all. All the moving parts on the truss rod are proctected by the black plastic film around it, so the glue doesn't really get into direct contact with anything mechanical.

@@Kiiras awesome feedback, thanks a lot!
And beautiful realization here, to say the least!!!
The music was overwhelmingly loud.. but cool guitar.
