Watching the color shift in the copper with the torch was super cool.
I love it! You don’t have to be crazy to try something like this, but it sure helps.
You have talent up the whazoo and the patience of a saint! I can’t wait for the next episode. It’s also very refreshing to see a workshop that doesn’t look like a surgery 👏🏼👍🏼✌🏼
The workshop is a disaster zone, I just get too carried away with getting the ideas out of my head and onto wood, metal, bone... whatever is to hand and forget to tidy up.
Thanks, I'm not sure about the patience... I edit out the hours of swearing and glaring menacingly at whatever is on the bench.
A recent study showed that rubbing copper on your hands is more effective at anti-bacterial qualities then hand sanitizer. so you have made the most hygenic guitar ever! ;-) Great video!
This is by far the best build I’ve seen so far.. and I’ve watched lots 👍🏻
Thank you. I’ve lost many hours to TH-cam too 😆
Your patience is incredible!
Your builds are insanely unique. Your patience and persistence knows no bounds. I would love to know how many hours you have but in to this build by the time it's finished. Oneof my favourite builders. And now full-screen videos too! Great pickups you made for Chris @ king bespoke
Thankyou. I wouldn't even want to start adding up the hours I've spent on this so far. New editing software was forced by a PC meltdown so its fullscreen from now on (I didn't know how to change it before)...
dude, the amount of effort you've put into this so far is phenomenal! and YAY full screen!
Gorgeous design! You had me on the edge of my seat. I’m really looking forward to the next episode.
6:15 Fire Goooooood. (Ben's gonna love this one; fire AND copper.) What fun. Thanks for the video.
Such a cool build and with the clairvoyance of instagram I am excited to see that installment. Percussive maintenance and building always fun 👍
Maybe you should run a guessing competition on number of holes drilled 🤪
I'd have to count them myself first. Cheers, I do love my hammers, check out the sneak preview on the latest post ;)
You are so creative and precise.
Looking really cool, love the patina on the top and the way you've filed the wood at the edges!
whouw, the amount of detailling is insane...but in a super positive way of insane ;-), You Sir, You are an artist!!
So much detail, wow. I was seriously tensed up while you were cutting, drilling and filing the copper. Its not like you can just glue a bit back in with a bit of dust and supper glue if you make a mistake.
Alos those pickups you made for KBC are outstanding. Again the attention too detail!
I’m having fun waiting for stuff to fall off the bench behind you as you hammer. It’s like watching the 2p pieces on a windfall arcade machine.
Also the copper looks class.
I spent nearly as much time picking things up as I did actually hammering 😂 thanks
Looking great, it should be within a shout for the prizes!
That is just amazing!
Truly beautiful and I love the details! Great job man!
incredible detail and I love it!!
Balls of Death! Looks stunning. Really like the f holes design of the end blobs not being connected. Also makes me think of olde pubs. Which is good. And on that bombshell I’d best have a beer. Be rude not to.
That’s gonna be uniquely amazing.
Thanks. I just about won the fight in the end.
It's the 4th GGBO entry I'm watching today and you all have very different approaches to guitar building... It's very interesting!
Thanks. I’m trying to keep up on as many other videos as possible, I love seeing the different approaches everyone has. There’s so much to be learned from watching how other people do a certain job.
Insane brother! You have an amazing mind for design. I can execute a lot of things but how you come up with this stuff is brilliant. I haven't even started carving the top and back yet on mine. I'm beginning to get nervous. Most importantly Ant, this guitar is a work of art. You may need to change your slogan to "Made to be adored"
Thankyou. To be honest, a lot of my 'design ideas' come from trying to avoid doing something in a way that frightens me... If it hasn't been done before, I can't do it wrong. Carving a proper hollow archtop is still something that I find incredibly daunting. Admittedly, beating it out of copper instead of carving it is a bit like, avoiding unlocking my front door to go to the shop by climbing over my neighbour's roof, fashioning a glider from chimney pigeons and tv aerials and hoping I land in the right place. haha.
@@4thAvenueGuitars, I get it, really.
Just love copper, but what a lot of work. Well done. You made some very cool pickups for Chris at KBC -- just lovely!
Beautiful job so far! Can't wait to see the finished product!!
For the Love of Bulding.
Total respect brother.
The effort and creativiy, cant put a price on that.
All the best
👍✌😎
That copper top and back looks amazing against the mahogany and those brass inserts.
Scalloped edge Guitar pie.
It’s going to be delicious 😋🤘🏽
Looking very good! If I were a drill bit company I would definitely sponsor this channel.
Crazy cool, I love it!
Outstanding !
Great idea. I just thought it should have unique sound on acoustic pickup.
This is amazing!
This build is lookin' fantabulous.
Wow ! Bear with me. Somehow, my “4APP”s ended up in the hands of “KBC CCCC” ! ( “4th Avenue’s Perfect Pickups”, “King Bespoke Creation’s Crisp Clean Chisel Craftsman” ).
Awesome collaboration. Kudos for working together! I’ll just have to continue salivating until my pickups arrive. I wish there was time for an “unboxing”. Would love to see how you packed ‘em.
That is Absolutely sick Brother. Right on!!!
In the old world I see you as an armor maker . Great skills man
Wow! Just wow!
Kids, this is your brain on gravy. Just say no.
Lunatic. Love it.
WOW!, That's Gorgeous!
Wow! Really great work here. One word of advice- lavaliere microphone
It was fun to watch he cutoff wheels shrink. It’s funny you diamond cut the sides, because I thought the copper looked a bit like an old Harley seat.
beautiful guitar, love the idea.
We definitely beg to differ! 🤣
we politely argumentative northerners will jolly well disagree enthusiastically with your incorrect opinion!
cool work - I like your chaos :-)
That's damned impressive
I filled a jar once and the nurse nicely said the lab really didn’t need a quart.😬😬
Ohhh Im dying here.... you broke out the new hammer you made and all I could think of was that "Fred Flintstone or Barney Rubble" was going to make a guitar. That looks amazing. For a while it was almost looking like saddle leather when the light wasnt so bright and shiny on it
Balls of Steel and repect for the potential danger.
Great stuff mate
Take care 👍✌😎 PS, did I say you're Insane 🤣 in all the best ways. Love it ✌
haha, thanks. I try to limit my insanity to the privacy of my own home, but the camera tends to be on every time I decide to do something a bit stupid. At least I went outside to play with fire.
Much respect for your skills and perseverance ....
Some Helium filled bags hidden inside maybe ... 😂
Awesome, I hope you're going to call this one Balls of death
Ha ha, I'm hoping it doesn't become the back breaker. If it doesn't work out as a guitar at least it'll be a pretty hefty battering ram
Wow, that's a lot of work! I wonder if it's more or less work with metal vs. wood. I love how those f-holes turned out! And I like your use of music. Is it all non-copyright stuff on offer from TH-cam?
Thanks. It’s all from a site called uppbeat, there contact address was listed as Leeds Yorkshire... so that sold it haha
Now we know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall.
I really enjoyed this. Where do we vote for this great build off?
Thankyou. I believe it will be on the website (www.greatguitarbuildoff.com) from the 1st of July
Wow!
Anthony. Making me proud. Nice ! Death wish/ steel balls = Lunatic with lots of patience.
haha. thanks. It looked a lot closer than it really was. but don't tell anyone that ;)
I beg to differ! Ha! Love it.
PS. I like the pie crust edging.
Granted Fireball didn't come out with their video until October, but if you're going to do any more grinding of F-Holes in metal you might want to see this. th-cam.com/video/hid9bDnSeok/w-d-xo.html
As to routing copper - death wish or steel testes... Best to guard against testes wishing to be steel; this last model, of mistaken thinking, is generally fixed at the first finger loss. Ask me how I know.
Yeah, looking back at how close my hands were was a bit scary. I was definitely VERY careful to know where my fingers were, making sure I had a good grip and ready to just let go if it kicked back at all.
Great look. Reminds me of Marc Bolan's metal fronted LP. How if any will it effect the sound quality of the final guitar. Or is it an about the visual athetic?
thanks. I have no idea what effect it might have in the sound at the moment, I’m very much stumbling blindly through unknown territory with this one 😂
so no change there.........🤓
BTW Harley calls it jeweling ! And it's a huge pain in the ass to keep shiney! LOL
Are you a H-D fan?
I like engineering, I have a classic VW and have been messing around with bikes and other engines for years despite not having my bike license. It does look cool though 😂
Yes it beautiful when clean. But there is no spray and ride. Must be cleaned right to get best looks. I got rid of mine when I rebuilt my engine.
BTW those pick up you made for Kbs build are awesome man! Just outstanding. Can't wait to hear them.
You should have eneled the copper first it would made it much easier. Like butter but real nice.
Thanks. I realised after I’d start beating it that I hadn’t annealed it. But I made sure to do so from then on, it went so much quicker.
Is the stump for sale?
I love my stump. It’s been a handy step to reach my top shelf easier this week 😂
12:12 hole apologist! Any excuse ;)
😲😮
Now I feel like an absolute, lazy ass for using flat 22 gauge brass and complaning about it!!!
