just an fyi for next time. perhaps it's not the best idea to have the leatherman promotional quote "i use mine every day" while ben is talking about lubrication. my family members were checking on me to see why i was on the floor laughing for 5 minutes. i am well aware i have the humour of a 16y/o.
Did I miss something somewhere? In Ep 1, you had only glued/clamped the body wood together, the top wood together, and clamped the fretboard to the neck.
I think if we've learned anything from the One Day Build series, it's that building a good guitar from scratch in one day isn't really possible, or advisable.
I think if we learned anything from the several multi hour build series it’s that Ben is capable of doing builds at a boutique level in less than 24 hours.
@@alpeterson I've built several electric guitars. None of them have taken more than about 15 hours of actual labor to complete, but none of them were done in a consecutive period. I think you took my comment the wrong way. Did I?
@@peachmelba1000 I definitely get what you're saying as someone who builds guitars myself there's a huge difference between spending an hour a day for 24 days and building a guitar and spending 24 hours straight building a guitar in one day doing that much work for that much of an extended period you'll get tired you'll get complacent you'll allow for errors and flaws that you normally wouldn't your work will become more careless and the finished product just simply will not be as good as if you'd given yourself a break between working sessions I tend to build my projects in sections and pace it out so that each individual process can have my full undivided attention with no outside distractions and several breaks to plan the next phase and rest between phases I feel that breaking a guitar build down into as many small processes as possible and working to the best of your ability to perfect each process in its own time and space gives you the best end product you are capable of making
@@peachmelba1000 I just loved the old school build videos, and any chance to remind people they exist is a good one. While I love building guitars I wouldn’t actually try to do one in 9 straight hours start to finish, but I did love watching Ben do it. haha
Seeing a master luthier make mistakes me feel much better about the ones that I make. Thank you for the honesty, Ben. Keeps me motivated to press on with my own projects.
'master luthier' - I think you can only be called that if you are prepared to accept that you are fallible.. and I really am :) Thank you for watching!
May I add something to this? I think Ben does not like Gibson SG -style guitars. Now here we could have great challenge: Batman SG - where Ben has fixed everything he thinks original SG-design has wrong?
For the inlay i would have left in tabs like you would in CNC machining, about 2mm thick so the FIMO expanding while curing wouldn't move the parts, but 2020 vision and all that
Dear Ben and dear jxworkshop, you have made the first wonderful comment - to which I would like to add: Simply human wonderful and very hearty! Your Base will be stunning as every instrument - a true unique one! I just love it already so much! Please take all good care of yourself and your beloved ones🌌.
Beautiful build so far! What a great idea to raise sorely needed help for Ukraine. On the crest it would've been great to use a resin maybe. I think it would be much easier to get it nice and flush and really match the colors.
Amazing that the Ukraine has the Trident and a blue and yellow flag and my homeland of Barbados has a blue and yellow flag with the Broken Trident.....
This channel a month ago. Thumbnail image "Ukraine charity build guitar" with prominent yellow/blue flag. Title similar to this one but ep1. I'd post a URL but it would probably be autodeleted.
@@PaulCooksStuff Yeah, but I've seen this video, and most of it was just building the neck. He has only glued up two pieces of wood for the body and that's it (as far as I know).
@@shagarma_oharim ooops, yeh, you're right - ep1 condensed super-edit was neck footage. The body was built on stream day-1 (~4hrs in) but wasn't in the ep1 edit. This vid starts at stream day2. Hmmm, maybe they meant to do an edit for the day-1 body and forgot. This is kinda ep3.
very epic ukrainian guitar build. would like to see you build a lute or purely acoustic instrument and put all your creativity into it. maybe a medieval bandura?

😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 I lost the body building between the episode 1 and 2, there is another episode where I can see this part?? Greetings from Colombia (Bogotá)
I love the inlay and innovative use of unexpected materials. Yes there are flaws in the first attempt, but that's how we learn.
I have a neck and body I use for my first attempts at anything it was broken when I got it for 35$ on reverb
My wife’s a silversmith she recommends super pike blades over vallorbe blades if you fancy trying a different brand.
What a fantastic job to have, what was her favourite thing she's made?

no.. you did not miss something.. we did, I'm not sure how but we've gone and released the wrong damn video today!! Sorry :(
@@CrimsonCustomGuitars Whoops! That's okay, it's given me a chance to subscribe to your other channel and watch the build over there.
I wondered the same thing. I'm interested in building a hollow body myself and really interested in that part
@@CrimsonCustomGuitars which is the correct video?
I'm glad I'm not the only one asking "Did we just turn over two pages at once?"

Next Project Suggestion: Batman themed guitar (blackest of black) with black hardware and Floyd Rose trem system..
Also add batarang inlays..
May I add something to this? I think Ben does not like Gibson SG -style guitars. Now here we could have great challenge: Batman SG - where Ben has fixed everything he thinks original SG-design has wrong?
@@timolaitila1639 yeah and can add little bit of contouring to give it a feel of batarang.
Would love to see a guitar painted with some of that ‘blackest black’ paint. I don’t know how well it would hold up as a finish though 🤔
I was always taught that, you'll be surprised how much time you save, if you spend a little longer and get it right in the first place'. Be well.
U guessed right on the boelube. I use it most everyday at work.
Thwack thwack thwack! As ever, inspirational and interesting to the max.
"Who needs a laser cutter?"
Uh, everybody?
Too bad that the body prep and assembly wasn't included in the edited version.
Good evening
I’m a bit surprised you didn’t think about pushing trident out and using that as just the inlay.
Did I miss the bit where he hollowed out the body or was that not recorded?
How did I miss the F hole part
For the inlay i would have left in tabs like you would in CNC machining, about 2mm thick so the FIMO expanding while curing wouldn't move the parts, but 2020 vision and all that
Where's the content that would be between between Pt 1 and Pt 2? Pt 2 starts significantly after Pt 1 ends.
stunning! what types of blades for this scroll saw to cut as well and as cleanly? it's incredible
Such a great way to support a worthy cause. Don't think I've ever got a first comment before.

Have you used the dust blower collet that Dremel makes? Does it not work any better than the tape-ropeller?
Proxxon and Dremel, do all those devices go together?
They are fairly interchangeable imo. Dremel have far more accessories etc though
Beautiful build so far! What a great idea to raise sorely needed help for Ukraine. On the crest it would've been great to use a resin maybe. I think it would be much easier to get it nice and flush and really match the colors.
Tidy-ing up for a neutral work space, I know the feeling.
Hello. This accesory (triton) you use on the dremel so it becomes a router. Where can i buy one of these? Verkar nice build by the way.
Sorry not triton but proxxon
Part 2 of a 100 part build....
The name of the video does seem to suggest that the guitar is multiscale, even though it clearly isn't...
Omg! That is a sign of far too many edits ongoing 😱 sorry. Will fix ASAP
Amazing that the Ukraine has the Trident and a blue and yellow flag and my homeland of Barbados has a blue and yellow flag with the Broken Trident.....
When was the body built? It seems like there is no video on it (at least I can't find it).

Me too, thought I had caught all the videos, I don’t remember this build at all!

Not to be critical, but the initial body work didn’t make it into either of the edits…
ak! Wrong edit got made live :( Our bad
I've seen people on TH-cam use a tiny bit of mineral oil to help stop polymer clay sticking to fingers and tools so much.

Ukrainian trident is a really beautiful symbol. Thank you! Greetings from Western Ukraine!
