alright so thats two years in a row your build is by far the coolest guitar in the competition. the attention to details is insane, truly beautiful craftsmanship
Thank you. I’m looking forward to seeing the final submissions and the great builds that I’ve inevitably missed appearing.
Your patience about not just stringing it up as soon as you can is of legendary status!
Music from the rehearsal space upstairs beats live Zumba classes any day 😂😂
It’s looking absolutely awesome. Can’t wait for the Malmsteen touches and to hear the beast speak. It’s a loud bugger acoustically. 👏👏
Viking(s) rule. Beautiful. You made us proud.
That guitar is an absolute masterpiece. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this build all of the way through. Good luck in the GGBO competition.
Totally agree! Fantastic craftsmanship!
Can’t wait to hear that thing plugged in - I predict an amazing, unique tone that will match its looks. Kudos for an amazing build!
Truly a labor of love - and the love child is gorgeous!!!
That’s putting some truly horrific images in my head 😂 thank you.
So pleased that you got the recognition you deserve with the GGBO Builders Comp Prize. Let's face it, it was the competition that mattered most. Both this year's and last year's guitars are outstanding in every way. Simply excellent. Phil
Thank you. I’m still slightly in shock about the builder’s choice. It’s definitely helped my motivation when I’ve been struggling recently knowing that people are interested and appreciate the strange things that come out of my head.
Just frigging WOW man! I'm seldom speachless. Congratulations you did it!
I don't build guitars nor do I play them, but I was really impressed with the method you used to locate the bridge - very ingenious! Thanks for the share!
damn' that thing is absolutely stunning!! You are an artist, Sir!!! Your patience is remarkable....would like to own that guitar!!!
This guitar is a mood of its own really
You have done an insane amount of work on this guitar build and have done an amazing job on it. Impressive simply impressive.
Stunning mate, competition winner as far as I'm concerned
So many details, it's all in the details..
Just beautiful
Absolutely fantastic guitar. Really first class job in design, construction and presentation.
Splendid job !
Leaning towards voting for you out of the many builds that I've watched ...
Looking forward to a sound demo.
Definitely a unique and artistic Guitar. 😃
Thank you. Well I hope that lean stays. I’ve seen some incredible builds popping out of the woodwork recently. There is definitely some stiff competition, but whatever happens, we all have extra cool new guitars.
A truly magnificent piece! Well done!🎸
The dragon is looking amazing, great work once again
😂
@@4thAvenueGuitars music is too loud 😂
@@saulgoodeguitars I’m a guitarist. We set the levels to where everyone says it’s perfect then turn it up as soon as they’re not looking 😆
This is the first guitar incorporating copper that I like. And I really like this one !! You've got my vote!
Thank you. It’s definitely a bit of a marmite material, It’s usually either too shiny or too green for me, it was pure fluke really that I got a good middle ground... but don’t tell anyone that 😆
Gorgeous!
I've really enjoyed watching this series man. I hope to see more in the future. You have a very likable personality, or at least as a presenter 👍
Thank you. You clearly haven’t spoken to most of my friends 😆
@@4thAvenueGuitars you're just being humble 😋
Amazing guitar man, congratulations! It's great that you can screw/unscrew the back. As you mentioned, I once made a Lucille-inspired ES-335 and I had to make a rear access panel because there was no other way to fit the electronics. Good luck, you got this!
Beautiful build! Cheers!
You are GGBO top tier with this work of art!
Thank you. I’m looking forward to seeing all the great creations showcased together
This turned out magnificent! Very unique build in this GGBO series. Great job.
That is a good way to position the bridge, by intonation. I once found the right place in the third attempt, so there was plenty of "additional sound holes" in the body of that guitar... Yep, after that I started to use this intonation method.
Thanks. We’ve all done it. It’s probably the hardest measurement on a guitar to get right. Scale length plus compensation factoring in the bridge type, even string gauge and tuning can move it out of place.
Stunning work, and easily one of my favourites, well done dude!
Great work! This has to be a contender. Good luck with the voting.
My favorite series...looks stunning. Gotta hear it plugged in, howling it’s war cry.
Close ups dammit! Seriously? ‘I finished it, but couldn’t be arsed to take some glamour shots.’
I’ll still vote for you because that’s a unique guitar, with skill and artistry obvious in it’s design and completion.
I think it’s going to sound as good as it looks. You’ve outdone yourself, sir. Bravo!
Don't worry, there's a full set of glamour shots and a demo coming next week you know I love a good cliff-hanger ending.
I could go on and on about your build. Design, materials, execution and so on. Let's just say you got my vote. Wonderful project all around. And I'm also building a 335.
First of all, your 335 is looking absolutely brilliant. and... I've started my "Explorer-ish" project and, thanks to you, it has hammered copper scratch plates (2 pieces) running up and down the entire rt side. I got to play with fire!! It's looking promising. I'm probably going to cover the P-90 pickups in hammered copper as well. I'm really enjoying this build. Not even in a hurry to finish it.
Thanks. That sounds like it will be a cool guitar. Just be careful covering pickups with metal. It will always have an effect on the sound. Eg, aluminium pickup covers will absorb a lot of the top end.
What a sweet looking instrument. Great job. Being a left handed player I have noticed that every guitar in this years GGBO is right handed. As such we are totally excluded from the auction, I know only too well that we are a silent minority but the truth is I'm sick of being "silent". I would like to put it out there that in future GGBOs that just a couple of the builder's take a chance and produce a "leftie". We are out there and I think you should talk it over with the future entrants to see what can be achieved. I'm making this request on only a few of the other entrants videos. Good luck with the auction. Cheers Mark.
A lefty is something I’ve seriously considered building, the problem is that as a custom one off guitar a lot of people want something very specific. The market for right handed is much bigger and so means it’s more likely to find its perfect home. That being said, I agree that lefties seem to get penalised by simply being a minority market. I promise to build a lefty at some point. But I will need to be in a position where I can hold on to it until the right person comes along.
@@4thAvenueGuitars Thankyou for your reply.
That one is a beauty!😃
A great way to get pots in a 335 , take 12" of auto gas line tubing or surgical tube ing ,place over the shaft of the pot then take a piece of wire coat hanger or any stiff solid core wire place inside the tubing bend to shape with a small 90 degree bend at the end to grab the hole .And Bob's your uncle pull the tube through the hole and place the nut on.
The surgical tubing trick is one of my favourites... and funnily enough features in the new video which goes live in 6 minutes 😂
@@4thAvenueGuitars you know what they say about great minds ,two at a time works best and uses less wire that way .
i do love your guitar
great guitar. just need to hear it plugged, but i'm sure it sounds wonderfull
Brilliant!!!
enjoyed the videos awesome axe
Wow! This turned out great. I was a bit sceptical at the early stages of the build but it really looks fantastic. Sound demo next??
Thanks. I’m glad I changed your opinion. Though I definitely don’t expect everyone to like it. The full demo should be ready for next week’s video
There has to be swearing! Blood, sweat, and swearing, because the British don't shed tears.
60% of the video I cut out is swearing. That or me singing to myself and usually changing the lyrics 😂
That's how they do it at the factory. Install everything, then glue the back on.
And lol, I so hear you on the sanding.
Man I wish I'd had that option. I've been wrestling with the dang electronics all night. I've missed one ground, I'm gonna have to fish the output jack and a volume pot back out to fix it. Yay, archtops! Oh, btw, your build is gorgeous and novel, you should do well in the competition.
I think this is the coolest guitar in the GGBO. Will you post a video of a sound demo?
Thanks. Next week’s video will be a full demo and super edit of the build.
You should play something by The Police. (It is a Copper guitar!)
Last year it looked like you'd sewn the guitar together. This time it looks like you've riveted it. Do I see a pattern forming here?
please keep moving the bar in design forward . I love your imagination .
Thank you. I hope to do just that, though I might give my drill a rest for the next one. 😆
@@4thAvenueGuitars yes that drill got a work out. so put it to bed.
Epic
Hey man it’s been a week, quit watching videos and get back to work on your guitar 😎 👍🏼
@@SJ-cy3hp meh... work schmirk 😜 Actually they’re both done. But I do need to get back to work on vid edits...
@@BoneheadGuitars Right on! Demo time!
@@SJ-cy3hp working on it! 🤨
HELLO?!?! Plug it in please!! Lol
😂 I did straight after stopping the recording. That’s next week 😉
@@4thAvenueGuitars We do not wish to wait until next week. We want it now.
How do you repair a malfunction pot? Rob
On this thing it’s just the same as any 335 type guitar. It’s fiddly to get them in and out of the F holes, but can be done. I was just able to save myself hours of fiddling and swearing, so I did 😂
как ведро наверно
What a load of old faux crocodile skin. Its the Great Guitar Build Off not the "Lets build a memorial to Steve Irwin " or Crocodile Dundee " Build Off. I'll change a bit if it sounds good.
Now I want to build a guitar covered in crocodile skin... dammit!
Really interesting but look back over your TH-cam video. Only 20% of the guitar on view. I agree with your comments but it's more about the guitar than you and your workshop. Just an observation for you consider.
I’m sorry but that’s not guitar making, that’s guitar pornography and I think I’ve been groomed.
