Building Celeste 2.0, the longest video I have ever made

Took me two years to finally finish up this Master Edit of the Celeste 2.0 Semi-Hollow build, but it is here now. And it is one helluva journey I have to admit.
This guitar was always a labor of love, so stands to reason that the movie length video of its construction would be like it. Take it in bites or skip around the chapters to find your favorite bits, but to all of those that watch the entire thing: THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. Seriously.
The Celeste 2.0. A guitar a waited 6-7 years to make and another 2 years to finish making videos of.
And YET... there are two smaller bits coming. The Demo as its own video. And a No Talking, No Music start-to-finish video. Milking it? I think not. Testing formats? Oh most definitely and not afraid to admit it haha.
Thanks again to Joni from @bloodblindmetal for helping out with the demo!
Anyway, enjoy and here are the chapter markers for your easy skipping pleasure:

Welcome to movie time with IP Guitars😅
So happy to finally have this video made for all of you to enjoy!
What was your favorite part of the build?

[@CMRWoodworks]

Awesome build, man! I watched the whole thing.

[@IPGuitars]

Thanks so much for sitting through the whole lot! Glad you liked it

[@wardengrn]

Its awesome, you know what almost nobody covers on guitar builds, which I am getting addicted to watching and exploring to attempt, all the scale lengths, depths, widths and measurements. They also go into very little about the hardware selections, what you can mix and match and can't use together. I have seen tid bits here and there but nothing step by step. Do some of those and you probably hit a sweet spot if anyone is on the fence like me. Great job!

[@IPGuitars]

Thank you so much!
And I had this all laid out for one series, which unfortunately never came to fruition.
But thank you so much for reminding me, that is a FANTASTIC point and one that I will surely exploit for a new series!

[@4stringz.]

Thanks for taking us through this meticulous process. Sheer artistry!

[@IPGuitars]

Thank YOU for watching and the kind words :)

[@koffiefilter]

A rare sighting as a visionary bio hacker leaves his cutting edge laboratory (mom’s basement) to conduct rigorous field trials on a prototype prosthetic robot dingus. Will it stand up to the abuse in the face of his paraphilia for chilled dairy beverages? Or will his utter lack of impulse control and relentless pace prove too be too much for this hack? beverages and his
