If I had a garage full of power tools I'd build guitars forever. Nice job man!!!
He said, "This is just a hobby, I do it for fun" ... All you haters quit nitpicking the build & stop telling him what he needs.
If he built it & enjoys playing what he built with what he had, that's good enough for him...he didn't make it for you.
Awesome work Life L1ke, keep it up & use whatever tools you have.
I'm sure even Hobbiest want to improve. Constructive criticism is a very good thing for that.
John. when you put up a comment recognizing haters they win because that is what they want.
Seeing as how this video is over a year old at this point, there are a few things I should point out about it.
The first is that I am 100% self-taught in doing this, and have never taken any classes in guitar making, just applying my general woodworking knowledge. That being said, over the past year I have spent a lot of time learning about better ways to make guitars - so if you're here to complain about how I did something in this video, odds are that I have already stopped doing it that way.
The second is about the audio quality at the end, at the time this was recorded, my direct audio recording setup for the guitar was not good at all. The guitar playing in this video was recorded through a USB cable for the game "Rocksmith" which is not designed or intended for audio recording. Since this video was uploaded, I have upgraded my entire recording setup. There is a link in the description to a more recent video where the improvements are plain to see.
Finally, if you're going to complain in the comments anyway, the least you can do is offer suggestions on how to improve. If all you're going to say is "sounds like shit" or "you're an idiot for doing ___", then your comment is useless and not worth reading.
Edit: Yes I am aware that this video in its entirety has been re-uploaded on another channel that Google translate tells me is Indonesian, I haven't decided whether or not to do anything about it yet.
Thanks for watching!
I would love to build a guitar like that! Is there any way you could make me a template of it? I was Going to build a Les Paul style, but this is awesome!
Life L1ke i was planning on modifying it anyways, but i will send u an email shortly
Email sent
Don't let the assholes get to you.
Hey dude, thumbs up for building that monster! 😀🤘
You learn by doing. Leo Fender didn't expect his first Telecaster ever to be without any flaws (and it certainly wasn't flawless!), so just keep at it 🤘🍻
This has to be one of the most beautiful guitars I've seen that was handmade! It really looks elegant. Very nice!
Jeez, the guy made the damn thing in his garage, lay off everybody. Good job.
I agree. I bet he made something a thousand times better than a lot of these butt hurt people could. I know it's better than anything I've made.
Ya, it's better than 99% of the people out there could do! It's a beautiful work of art! Awesome guitar!
you can make it better with a half of this guys gears btw
I agree. The complainers are probably jealous as they couldn't make a guitar.
Your choice of wood for the body is beautiful.
I like people who have the guts to build something and put it in youtube. Haters, and dislikers, show me one video about YOU building a guitar. Just one.
I built a guitar using very similar methods, a few years ago. I'm ready to try again using the knowledge (i.e. mistakes) that I made last time to help make this new one better. It is a great hobby for those who appreciate the meditation of patience and attention to detail.
Usually dont comment videos but I get really pissed of all the people that dont have any thing better to do then shitting on creative people. You see it everywhere on TH-cam. Everyone are experts....
Ffs you use the tools you have and solve the problem.
Good job man I really enjoyed your vid.
The bookmatching job on this is amazing. EXCELLENT craftsmanship. ABSOLUTELY STUNNING.
Actually it is not book matched. Book matches is a mirror image. But the grain matching is as good as can be done. If he wanted to book match he would have had to resaw both pieces and then glue them back together for thickness after book matching the side that would be seen. That is a lot of work and if you don't have a really good band saw, it is impossible.
I seriously can't believe that this was your first guitar build!!! That is SO crazy! It literally came out perfect. I love that guitar. I guess certain people in this comment section can't read, Lol. Obviously it sounds weird due to the recording equipment or something. You can tell that immediately. I am sure that guitar sounds just as good as it looks. Damn, congratulations on a job very well done! I want a lefty version of this guitar! Hehe.
Thanks for sharing your project, it was a pleasure to watch... Well done.
Great video! The woods are beautiful, the shape is cool...and it must be an amazing feeling to play a guitar you built from scratch.
Envy and jealousy is a killer! Great luthier skills for being self-taught, and all done in a garage without a full on professional set up/operation atmosphere like you would see in a luthier shop. Also flaws are what we learn from to better hone one's skill. Keep it up, you are on the right track. The more you build, the better you become, and greater the skill unfolds. I myself always wanted to be a luthier but never got any further than the thought. I admire the craftsmanship of constructing an instrument from scratch, and then being able to then play your own art afterwards.
At the time of seeing this video I seen 311 people who were jealous of your accomplishments, let that empower you to say I must be doing something right!
*_Cool freakin' guitar!_* If I had the woodworking tools (and space to put them), I'd build my own, too. Considering you've *_never_* built a guitar before this, your results are beyond outstanding. I can't wait to see what you're gonna build next. That slab of wood is awesome, btw. Thanks for puttin' this up! ️🎸️🎼👍👏
Just saw the video and looked at the thumbs down! Wow! You could legitimately find a cure for cancer and still get the idiots!
I think it is beautiful! Guitar player-not hater here (hey that rhymes) Makes me want to try this someday. This video is inspiring to me. You must have something right-not easy to get a half a million views!
For being new at I thought you did pretty damn good came out look fantastic
But now you have upgraded
Would love to hear the guitar again
Thanks 4 sharing
Gorgeous wood Amazing!! Excellent craftsmanship!!
Beautiful guitar. I envy people like you who can take wood and make something beautiful from it. My hats off to you sir. Great job.
Please buy a good router and good set of router bits. hogging out the majority of the wood with a forsner bit was a great idea but in future projects, leave it a little short of finish depth and use the router. The bottoms will be much flatter and make better contact with the neck for better transfer of string vibration. The body looks AMAZING! Keep building!
Those were my thoughts too. Any non-flatness causes 'springiness' and surface friction, which would transform vibrational energy into heat wherever it occurred. A guitar build must always use stiff hard mechanical junction points to optimise the retention of mechanical vibration energy, and this means close tolerances of flatness and squareness. Also, internal cavities need an electrically-conductive lining to prevent the pickup wiring picking up external EM fields from nearby electrical equipment like amplifiers and fluorescent lighting, and if you're using adhesive metal foil it's a lot easier to lay down on a smooth surface. There are electrically-conductive paints which work too, but you then have to bond either to the rest of the earthing circuit. . .
Nice to see the armchair quarterbacks out in force, as always.
Hell ya bad ass🤘that guitar is so so sick🇺🇸
Great garage build hell yaaaaa🤙⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Congrats my friend. That is a hell of a job. Looks great!!
Great Job Man! Considering the shape and look, I understand why you like distorted sounds though I would love to hear how your guitars sound clean or with just a slight crunch on them, too. Keep it up man, you just got a new follower!
Guys the guitar doesn’t sound bad it is just the recording of it
One of the best looking guitar bodies I have seen in a while. To many people are hung up on the "Classic" guitar look - this is a nice throwback to the 80's with your own uniqueness. With some fine tuning, fret leveling and a thorough setup this guitar could be very playable. Killer looks though - mad props to you on this.
I just wanted to say that I admire your guitar building skills! Since watching videos like this, it has been I desire of mine to build guitars, both acoustic and electric. Hopefully one day that will happen
The sped up sounds are making me nervous, got a dentist appointment coming up :/
That's literally the most beautiful guitar I have ever seen! Wandering how it would look with all golden hardware.
Look up barlow guitars
Gorgeous Piece of Art!!!
Pretty wicked looking. I like the light grain on the top; looks like a gnarly dagger. And the fact that you built it out of your garage is rather amazing. Great work, bro.
Nicely done, it's defiantly a one off, custom all the way, and a great job.
What an inspiring video. Love to wood you used. Can’t wait to watch another
amazing fit and finish
Wow, that light patch on the top gives it a really elegant look, nice job.
Beautiful guitar. Good manual skills.
excellent work! beautiful functional art!
Thats simply amazing.Great work buddy !
Just started watching it, that was cool having to shave down the two flat sides because it really expanded the color from the central stripe. Man that was some good fortune with the find on that wood. I think the knot was a good sign... it shows that the wood is "ripe" with distinction and maturely developed flavor and texture, density and connection. But that's all out of me arse. But seriously, I'm enjoying this video, watching the book matching unfold as it gets flatter. That wood grain is awesome to watch fill out.
Beautiful looking guitar with a great sound! Nice work!
I totally love this. Step by step... nice work.
Yes!!! Black Winter pickups, my favourites! I'd like to see some neck-thru or set-thru constructions as well!
Man, that chorded bit at the end is super catchy. I came back to say I've been humming it ever since!
She looks and sounds excellent bro! Great job!! 🎸🎸👍👍👍
ITS SICK,i love it.awesome job
With a good amp and a couple of pedals, I think you can nail it bro. Great work!
Those woods are beautiful
This is the most beautiful guitar i've ever seen
Hats off for the impressive build and nice video too!
excellent craftmanship
Looks amazing and I love the wood.
Damn good job for just a DIY build.
And to all the haters: I really like to see that not all steps ended up at 100%.
That shows me it is real craftsmanship and no fake-pro-damn I use the third take/attempt cut out-video.
Well done! 👍
By the way I love the wood.
Absolutely beautiful guitar
That looks amazing!
I think it looks amazing, nice work!
Astoundingly Beautiful!!
. excellent work here everyone, look how tight the neck is. sweet guitar. cant wait to hear it.
Les veines de ce bois est magnifique!
EN : The vein of this piece of wood is amazing!
Boys love your work and imagination, guitar turned out beautiful .I see you have the same problem with your drill press and hand drill as I use to. To fix the problem I listened to a learned elderly gent a long time ago, now I am that learned elderly gent. He told me to put the drill bit as far into the chuck as the drilling flutes and always tighten the chuck with all of the key holes usually three of them, but now a-days I have seen from 5 to none . just a thought to try to help with the accuracy stay busy Tim and THANKS
Tim McDonald
I think the drill press chuck and/or mandrel is the problem... It's a common issue on cheap, made-overseas equipment.
Absolute work of art.
I'd love for these guys to make me a custom guitar! What an amazing piece of art!!!
Very beautiful. A work of art for sure.
Hey man you did awesome I to am in cabinetry and like to dabble in fixing and refinishing guitars . Damn good job .
The look is incredible! I want that guitar just for looks. I wasn't sold on the sound though. Must be super heavy!
Nice job man,that top came out really nice.
Nice axe bud.looks great.the wood combo is spectacular.
wow! what a great job, congrats!!!!
You seem to have four hands, which must be such an advantage in building Guitars ! Great Guitar and great to watch the build. You should be proud. Just ignore the negative comments. I only stopped to have a look at the vid because it looked like a beautiful guitar … and you made it ! Well done.
beautiful wood.. im always amazed at the gorgeous hardwoods native to Africa
looks and sounds great well done
Simply Beautiful! Love it. Keep up the good work. You have a new Subscriber.
That is totally awesome!
Beautiful work.
Wow. What a beautiful hand carved body on that guitar! That is some impeccable work right there my friend! I wish i knew how to build things. Unfortunately, i don't have any tools, was raised by my mother and sister (aka- never had a father figure around when growing up) who knew nothing about tools, so in turn i know nothing about tools or building things. I would def like to learn one day though. It must feel great, to have and play a guitar that you built yourself. All the blood, sweat, and tears of your work pay off in the end when you are able to play a beautiful guitar that is all you..
Very good job ! I really like it
wow amazing best build ellectric guitar
Long time ago friend but did you notice the natural grain made the image of a cobra snake to the left of the jack socket on the rear….superb talent friend ….I had to make a 3:4 scale guitar for myself , I played 40yrs then chopped off my left index finger I 2004 and really struggled at first but I’ve got there again I’ve now got a Jackson minion and neck is a dog I’d make a new one but I shut up carpentry shop 8yrs ago so I’m stuck with it …awsome channel friend ❤
What a nice chunk of wood to start with!
great looking guitar.
Wow! Awesome video!
Fun! Great job gorgeous grain on the wood !
Very nice guitar. You have good skill with the wood. Good on ya mate.
Parabéns pelo seu trabalho de construção deste belo instrumento.
Long Live Rock 'n' Rolling and thesaurus Luthiers !
I've made guitars in a similar fashion. I think you did a fine job brother. Turned out great in my opinion
Turned out looking nice
Great job on your guitar. I'd love to build one but don't have all the gadgets and tools for the job. Your video inspired me very much. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills.
Great job mate!
Great job. Very inspiring.
beautiful guitar
I love this guitar it's so nice
Nice design!!!
This is awesome!!
I have been doing this for years, and was impressed with the final product, even though I hate pointy guitars.
Would love to see you tackle a set-neck LP!
Wow I actually learned a lot about putting a veneer on like you did makes the electronics easier and later found out that's your first build! Good job man my first build was a wall hanger that I ended up burning in a fire xd
that's a pretty damn good job for 1st time. I'd like to see gold/brass pickups to match the other hardware. Looking forward to your next build.
Man! You sure get a lot of criticism when you make videos! Don't know if I'd want to! Anyway, thanks for making your video. I think you made a gorgeous guitar! You're young. Most guys these days can't even take out the trash without screwing that up. Imagine your skill level 20 years from now! With the tools you have, you did great work. Like ya said in a comment...who has $8500 for a cnc? I love your choice of wood too! Very nice! Keep up the great work!
74dartman don't let the trolls keep you from doing what you want to do don't let them win. If you have a video and you want to put it up then do it and don't worry about assholes. The let the haters win.
74dart man 🙏
"most guys can't take out the trash..." Hahaha!!! So true
Nice car too! Mopar!!!
wow thats a cool custom
That’s an awesome looking guitar
Nice design!
Beautiful guitar, great woods. People here are saying it sounds bad, dude make a short video playing it with different effects etc on it, I'm sure it sounds just fine. Two things though, I would use washers with the neck plate/screws and also I would fix the neck on before you drill the holes for the bridge so you can mak sure the strings will end up going straight down the neck and not a little to one side. Well done, it's awesome! :)
There’s a guy on TH-cam I like to watch, his name is Ola Englund. He’s a musician and he also has his own line of guitars called Solar guitars. He has a factory in Indonesia that makes mass production and he gets to fly out on occasion to play them, set them up and do a quality control inspection. Don’t give this up, that is if it’s what you love to do. You just need more exposure and the right kind of network!
The aesthetic of it wow
Awesome, I like the sound also, very heavy
