Gorgeous!!! Love that flame maple neck thru. Tip for the back plates: Amazon sells refrigerator magnets that work really good in place of screws. Total amateur here and I’m just finishing my second body and I used magenta for both guitars. The magnets are easy to install and they look so cool! Love the snap it makes when the magnets pulls the lid closed.
This is A M A Z I N G !!!!! FIVE STARS! This project has exceeded my wildest imagination. I'm still in awe and I can't wait to play it!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. \m/
I’ve never seen a builder use wood dowels to merge a pieces of the body into a neck like that. Beautiful build and the way you described the process and tools and pricing … very cool! Wish I had tools and the expertise to do this. Subscribed!! Right on dude! 🍻🍻🍻🍻
Amazing build. Beautiful work. I would love to own a guitar built by you. I'll let you know if I ever win the lottery. Lol 😂. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing.
amazing work. ONly thing I would change would be magnetic rear cavity cover. A little more work, but deff worth it. Each build gets better and better man. Keep it up
Beautiful work! I've made 5 guitars at home and I agree: the most important/useful tool is the router, the #2 for me is the shinto rasp. One tip for hammering in the frets: to avoid accidentally hitting the fretboard with the hammer, use a piece of metal (I use a cylinder shaped metal which is about 1,5 cm thick), put it on the top of the fret and hit the piece of metal with a hammer or rubber hammer.
First time I've checked out your channel and I'm so glad I did. The guitar you've made is just stunning, a thing of beauty. I will be visiting your channel again, cheers brother 😀
I’m a luthier and guitar tech and have been playing guitar for 28 years. That guitar is a thing of beauty. Really like the driftwood top. Even though it looks great as it is it would also look really nice if you incorporated colour resin in the top. I’m partial to multi colour resin tops and I’ve even incorporated gold guilding to give it a bit of extra pop. This was a really nice build though. Look forward to seeing what you do in the future.

Hi, congratulations. I am not a fan of epoxy on guitars, because of the idea, of the weight and the plastic appearance, but your idea, research, materials and execution, made my day, and the combination with that gorgeous fretboard, looks exquisite. How much did you charge for the instrument? and how much do you charge for a standard 12 inch radius fretboard from that same wood?. Cheers.
@@activese I charge 2-2.5x the total costs of materials and hardware for my instruments. The same would go for fretboard only. Thank you for your opinions!
I'm not a big fan of modern guitars and extravagant headstock shapes but I have to say that this is worth every dollars love the tones love the headstock shape love the driftwood top just perfect 🤌🏼 cheers form france 🇨🇵 !
Great work. Beautiful looking instrument. You should be getting a least twice the cost of goods because of the time and effort you put into it. Great video explanation too. Thanks!
I’m a Custum knife craftsman, a muso and a Gemini!! So please never expect from me to be able to choose between the two forms of art. That will be impossible from my side. Never the less, the price point you’ve mentioned here is absolutely cost. You should be able to ask the cost price plus at least $2K USD for your work. It takes a lot of hours to build something like this and it would only be fair to ask money for your time and hidden costs. I had some TV Jones pickups special wound for myself some 12 years ago, so it’s about time to build myself a semi hollow Gretchen-like guitar. I’m after that type of sound for many years now!!
Absolutely gorgeous work! Have you considered putting your brand name on the headstock? With your work so eye-catching it seems criminal to not advertise your brand on it.
Hey man! Great build! I enjoyed the process, from start to finish 😃 Which preset (if you don't mind me asking) did you use in GuitarRig 6, from 29:26 ? Sounds very haunting Would have liked to see the measurements on how you make sure the intonation becomes as good as possible on every fret on every string on a multiscale, that seems to me like a daunting task Cheers!
@@FlameInstruments Thanks for replying. Weight aside…it’s a beautiful guitar. I really dig how informative your videos are as well. Really looking forward to your next project.
Could you please share where you bought the ebony and curly maple from? Also, your video is very inspiring, beautiful work. I am a guitar player that wanted to make my own guitars in the future but had a nasty injury from using a power tool foolishly... In any case this is still one of my passions.

Fantastic work! Could you please tell me where you buy carbon rods? I find it quite difficult to get it in proper dimmensions to reinforce the neck. Thanks from advance!
Hey man!! I've been wanting to start building guitars myself. Are there any hand tools, power tools or DIY tools that you would consider necessary, other than files, clamps, sandpaper etc?
Hello Master of the Routing. I have never seen someone so skilled with a Router. What is the magic dust you use at 9:07 ? Is it powdered metal that fills the gaps and shines when polished?
How long does it take you to create a guitar? I’d like to buy one, but I’ve been burned before, you put a big down payment then it takes so much longer than quoted and prices go up, or the go out of business….this guitar is fantastic. Also can you create a bass guitar?
@@edhauser6052 I do it as a part time job, which I do in my free time. Sofar. I am doing all I can to make this my full-time main thing. Right now it takes me around 2 months to make a guitar (or a bass, the process is very similar). The thing is, so many people are asking me about custom builds, I have to delay their projects or even decline, because of the time and the current job I hate but have to do just yet... I never ask for money in advance, that would be stressful for both me and the customer. I buy all the hardware, electronics and materials and then sell it for approximately 2,5x.
@@tool4132 I have to buy Playstation and play it finally... Or would it be cool to build a Bloodborne guitar after just seeing a few let'splays? I don't know...
@FlameInstruments I would suggest playing it cos I do think it is the best Fromsoft game period, and you never know how inspiration would strike you. But if you do play, avoid spoilers at all cost because the twist in that game is insane.
I m making a guitar at home, just the body and its alreadi a lot of work. luckly I live in woods and my dad chops a lot of trees so I basicly have free wood
can i ask question? why do you didn't make armrest with random sander? also about shielding paint, if this application cost 4$, gosh. I bought 2 kg of graphite and mix it with any type of laquer, acryllic paint, shellac or anything else, and it actually cost me near 5$ in Ukraine. That is not much of economy, but it will enough for the end of my days for sure) Good job, keep it up)
I eventually did with a fine grit, but orbital sender works slower, and makes an uneven surface, because the softer parts sand faster and harder parts slower. And when you have mixed material, it would end up uneven.
You spoilt the glue..... How dare you think you can make a guitar when you sit the glue 😂 Such a beautiful guitar. For the peice that is removed from the back of the neck how do you make use of this?
It is truly original and beautiful and the value of something like this is subjective. Yet you didn't include stuff like electricity, the space you're in all that cost money . This is income so whatever tax is involved where you live needs to be added. Plus your time to even get the wood into the shop etc plus your hours of labour. I'd say 2,409.76 USD plus relevant taxes.
SHOW!! What an Instrument...you are surely a master of your craft...your Guitarist is not.. Price depends...if the headstock would say PRS or Musicman it would cost maybe 3K to 4K Dollars. If a western master Luthier would have built it, it would cost even more..up to 5 or even 6K I guess
Value and price might not be the same. Your time is worth at least $50/h. I suspect that guitar took weeks to build. If it was 4 weeks that would be $8000 plus the $1000 for materials. Very few people will pay $9000 for a guitar. So I am guessing you were paid far less than that, maybe $3000 🤷♂️ Big difference between price and value there. Often is with real craftmanship.

How much money does your guiatr cost if you sell them.
At least 2 grand
brother, you got ballz of steel! cutting those fret slots with the router without a jig, you must be really good with the plunge router 😂
@@1-eye-willy I use a guiding straight edge for the Dremel router, no more sophisticated jig necessary.
I worry about the almost solid epoxied top with the wood back. Expansion and contraction may cause separation. I like the look.
i would pay AT LEAST $5000 for that piece of art
try using a Japanese handsaw with some tape marked at the height of the cuts for another option when cutting fret marks
