I am a lutherie fan from an underdeveloped and very poor country in South America, called Argentina, in the stores there are no strings, frets, good quality pickups, your videos are my inspiration. I don't know if one day I will meet you in person. I just want you to know that with your videos you make my life a little happier. thanks friend (I already consider you like that)
Really awesome stuff Tim! This is probably my favorite guitar that I’ve seen you build. Love the steinberger tuner hack to make it a 12 string. That’s the exact inspiration I needed to convert a 335 style guitar I have to add doubled g and b strings. Very cool stuff, I’ll be buying a raffle ticket for this one 🤘
Oh and using a cnc doesn’t make you any less of a craftsman. It’s just a different kind of craftsmanship! A whole new level of design and creativity. I’m starting to dabble in cnc as well and it’s not for the faint of heart!
turned out really nice! here is a trick i learned when it comes to painting 2 different colors like you did there: first off, no need to tape of the parts that will end up darker. second, after taping off the parts that should not get the 2nd color, touch the edges of the paint with the 1st color, to seal the tape edges, so the 2nd color can't soak through like it did here.
Looks really neat, cool concept. You really have the artist mindset with this stuff. You should do a 12 string Baritone next tho, now that you have the 12 string bug.
My electric XII is tuned to B even it's shortscale (Italia Rimini). I couldn't find any electric 12 string set at the store (before I knew I could borrow online), so I tried with acoustic strings. Tension is good, sounds great (telecaster bridge pickup).
Mr. Sway...you have an awesome channel here. Thank you for sharing your life with us. You're truly amazing, not only as a guitar builder, but as a good guy too. You're a solid dude. Thanks!✌️🤟👍🙌
I watched 7 GGBO build videos today, what a treat! Thanks from Colorado. ps. My 12 string demo song has always Over the Hills and Far Away for decades.
hi, I would like to share a painting tip from Jimmy DiResta I saw a while back: when painting 2 different colours, seal the tape with the first colour before you put on the second one. in your case, use white just along the tape, let it dry a bit, then paint it black. this will 100% prevent any bleed through even if your tape doesn't seal perfectly I think the video was called Masking tape tips and tricks, or something like that
lol. that attitude has mostly dissipated nowadays, but there are still a few troglodytes on the web. I can only assume they are viewing my videos from their typewriter because "computers ain't real word processin' ..."
@@timswayfunnily enough last night I was just thinking about a way to convert an old busted type writer into a basic computer than can type up & edit txt files, just for kicks
That jangly sound always gives me 60's vibes. Cool sound and cool look. This is why I come here, to never see the same thing twice. I bet no one told you life was gonna be this way. Good luck in the raffle! Thanks for sharing!
Tim thats fucking beautiful. and for charity. hell yea man it turned out looking ,and way more importantly, sounding fantastic! also very 90s of you to whip out the rembrandts at the end there.
Years ago I tried to make a 'double design' guitar (like two shapes in one, possibilities are infinite), but the Luthier I knew didn't want to do it. I did ended with a guitar I designed but onely one shape. Take care!
Interesting concept.... A 12-string guitar built out of wood by a bass player who isn't a woodworker!! Great work as usual Sir! Keep it up Tim! I hope this build generates a lot of money for your chosen charity!
Yea, maybe. I wanted it to be very dramatically different. Like I said in the video, if I were to do this out of the constraints of the contest and kit, I'd glue to separate bodies together.
I love the look of it. 😍 I think it would be a cool design even if it’s not stacked, like if you’d tweak your own design to allow for a white (or maybe beige) pick guard on a black body.
Some cool ideas in this video. I like how you are willing to experiment and try all sorts of stuff.the guitar is very interesting. I also had problem with painting my ggbo guitar this year. I used black stain for some parts and left other natural. The same thing happened, stain was just leaking under the masking tape. And had a hard time scraping it off as it soaked quite deep into the wood. And I'm also slowly becoming a Not a real wodworker😄 We should make a club. Good job man!
I still use rattle can for color after 30 years. My clear is from an HVLP setup...If you get a proper pin striping tape, go over the clean edge with a spoon, bowl side down in a circular motion, use a flat edge to do it where a spoon doesn't fit, you'll have a clean paint edge without bleed through. you can use the blue stuff from the vinyl (pinstriping) tape out if you need more protection.
I Luv the Vox Body Over the Other!! And, doing the 12 String was Great!! I'd LOVE A LEFTY Version, with the minor issues 'Tweaked' Out - Prefer P90s, or Perhaps the Fralin P90 in Neck and the New Fralin-Tron in Bridge!!
Love the design! And your channel. I'm still slowly gathering everything I need to build my first guitar. I've always wanted to make my own Dano style masonite guitars and put my own spin on it. Can't wait to get started! I think I'll start with a cheap AliExpress neck though and eventually move on to making my own when I feel confident enough with woodworking tools
I love the sound of a 12 string guitar this one is unique but there is nothing wrong with that or the sound it makes. Yeah I think a better way to go on the finish would have been to use stain but Trying to get the 2 different colors for the front and the back would have been just as difficult I think. Over all I think the guitar came out very well. Well done.
More CNC spin art please. Could be kinda your thing. I'll be taking that if you don't. And the guitar is great. A better pickup complement would really set it off.
You've probably used this joke before but. . . There is the RIGHT WAY, there is the WRONG WAY, then for creativity, there is TIM'S WAY. Couldn't resist. [Not true. I could but not as much fun.]
👍🏻 Great stuff! Love your work and the GGBO, and Crimson. About your paint line edge issue, I think I saw someone solve this. If I remember, after masking off the line of demarcation they lightly painted the color being masked off onto the masking tape at and over the border line with the next color to be applied. They then let this dry thusly sealing the tape's edge from any bleed-thru from the subsequent contrast color application. After they painted on the contrasting color the tape was removed before it fully dried and the edge is laser straight and totally clean... Maybe this is your solution?
Really cool! If you ever feel like building another 12 maybe you could design something like the "converter comb" Rickenbacker Convertible guitars have so you can go between 6 and 12 strings on the fly? I think that would be an interesting challenge.

Argentina is still the home of Astor Piazzlo and has a ridiculously rich musical history despite being made poor by Jorge Rafael Videla
The marker shooting ink everywhere was hilarious. I was NOT expecting that
obviously, neither was I :)
It made a cool pattern too man... there could be a finish in there somewhere...

Indeed! People who thing CNC isn't "real woodworking" are people who never tried to use a CNC :-p

I so appreciate your determination to ignore convention and do your own thing, Tim. Thanks so much for sharing your work.

I think this has to be the most inventive entry into this year's competition!! Love it, Tim!
thanks!

Both you and Ben are forces of nature. Thank you for your ingenuity and madness. Be well and be safe.
I'm a CNC machinist so I don't care what anyone says it's real work also I can't get enough of your videos, love your work!!!
those who say CNC isn't real woodworking are those who have never tried woodworking with a CNC :-p
Now that was a very creative guitar build Tim! Love the look & how it plays as well. Your choice of a charity is also spot on my friend! 👍👍🎸🎸
when in doubt, feed those who are hungry.
I watched 7 GGBO build videos today, what a treat! Thanks from Colorado.
ps. My 12 string demo song has always Over the Hills and Far Away for decades.
Great original concept. A very nice look and sound. Thanks for the video.
The angle from the playing shots looks like a panda bear with a really jaunty smile and I’m very much okay with it.
Great project Tim, very cool!
Great job on this.The opening chord to Hard Days Night sounded great! I hope you win!
This turned out super well! Always love seeing your GGBO work, was definitely worth the wait this year!

@@timsway *shouting* I SAID I HAVE A CNC, BUT I'M TOO SCARED TO TELL ANYONE
Cool concept. It's a lot of fun watching your design and build process.
My favorite design from you Tim. Really a big fan of the body design. Limitation fuels innovation!
That jangly sound always gives me 60's vibes. Cool sound and cool look. This is why I come here, to never see the same thing twice. I bet no one told you life was gonna be this way. Good luck in the raffle! Thanks for sharing!

that song was on a 12 string, right? That's how I hear it in my head...
16:00 hard days night!! nice i love the beatles. Also nice design, I'm sure that the recipient will love it!
Awesome job Tim very creative
Always innovating with clever and creative builds.
Have a Great Guitar Build Off and Christmas.
I really like how this turned out- really cool concept!
Totally buying a ticket for this, amazing concept 👌 best of luck,

Such a cool build! Great job!!!
Sway. Geeezzzz bro. That’s really making me have them old feelings of I NEEEED THAT!! lol. Seriously dope build. As always
enter the raffle! :)
Super cool idea! Agreed, the paint job is the only thing lacking. Could still get re-painted someday.
At last a "teardrop" that can be played sitting down. Visually, I instantly thought "Panda"
The guitar came out great and sounding great too! Congrats! Take care! (maybe a slanted bevel for the transition between the two shapes?).
Yea, maybe. I wanted it to be very dramatically different. Like I said in the video, if I were to do this out of the constraints of the contest and kit, I'd glue to separate bodies together.
Awesome Tim! love the look ..
I really dig the body. Those two smooshed together is very cool.
I love the look of it. 😍 I think it would be a cool design even if it’s not stacked, like if you’d tweak your own design to allow for a white (or maybe beige) pick guard on a black body.
So funny ehen the marker pen started spooning on the CNC!! 🤣 Love it, man
Good stuff! Thanks! Happy holidays! 🌞🎅🏻🎉🎉🎉🎉
Very creative! Very unique! Well done!
I can't be the only one who sees a cute panda face in this guitar? Either way, it's a very original design Tim :)
great concept, really pushing yourself with this
I was thinking of turning a cheap Les Paul copy I have into a 12 sting and you've done some of the things I was worried about. Thanks :)
Very very custom and cool looking!

Twelve strings are my favorite guitars. You thought of every detail, it’s a great design.
Wow great job 👍
That’s a very cool guitar, great concept and way to make something new without going too extreme with the design 👍
Aesthetics are awesome. This as simply a paint scheme, minus the 3 dimensional aspects, would also be great.
or pickguard... cheers!
Great innovation as ever Tim
That's awesome I like how it looks
It sounds great! I love the humbuckers with the 12 strings.
Sounds really nice!!
Great idea Tim 👍
Cool design and it sounds fantastic! Great job!
Great work mate, love the double layer idea 😀
Very cool concept!
the new finish spinnup some markers it would be cool,, cool build Godbless
How about running something along the "top" part as a reference to binding? Love the build and the whole idea! Thank you
as an avid 12er strummer this is such a fun looking guitar good job!!!
I Luv the Vox Body Over the Other!! And, doing the 12 String was Great!! I'd LOVE A LEFTY Version, with the minor issues 'Tweaked' Out - Prefer P90s, or Perhaps the Fralin P90 in Neck and the New Fralin-Tron in Bridge!!
Wow, 'the dot machine'! Guess it manage to put a dot on the board and then some more. It's a generous machine, 'the dotter'. Take care!
I didn't realise that the ggbo is back!
Love the design! And your channel. I'm still slowly gathering everything I need to build my first guitar. I've always wanted to make my own Dano style masonite guitars and put my own spin on it. Can't wait to get started! I think I'll start with a cheap AliExpress neck though and eventually move on to making my own when I feel confident enough with woodworking tools
That's the advice I always give: Buy a neck, make the rest. when it works,. go back and make a neck later.
Great sounding guitar. Would be cool to design some type of bridge that would make it an electric sitar.
Actually, loving the aesthetic. Sure it could be stylized a little more but. Good job, I wanna buy that.
$4 a ticket to enter the raffle!
Sounds good! That spinning marker accident could be an interesting way to decorate a future build…
Somehow it has a Panda-vibe to it :D. Nice job!
Turned out great Tim!
That time of year already? Great design! I'll have to win it to hear what a 12 string chug sounds like. :p
Very cool! 😊👍
Awesome!
Great job! The Andy Panduh (to avoid trademark infringement!) ;)
That's cool!
Very interesting! ...
this is a really cool electric mandolin

loooooved the sharpie splatter. you should do it on purpose some time overtop of a white finish to make a dalmatian guitar
i probably will :)
I really like the electric 12string. I've had mine for years.
Very cool. Keep getting an error trying to check out at the GGG website. I'll try again later. Hope to win yours or Picciuto's!
love that color trick he did.
More CNC spin art please. Could be kinda your thing. I'll be taking that if you don't. And the guitar is great. A better pickup complement would really set it off.
I have a Phantom copy so I absolutely love it!
Like deployed 👍
I would agree, it would have been better at least in my opinion mahogany body and maple top. But this is a great guitar. Awesome work.
You've probably used this joke before but. . .
There is the RIGHT WAY, there is the WRONG WAY, then for creativity, there is TIM'S WAY.
Couldn't resist. [Not true. I could but not as much fun.]
I personally find the shape hideous, but for creativity and originality you get a big 10! I would like to hear a real guitar player.
Very nice
Hello Tim! "Making Good Music", MAGOMU/MAGOOMU seems like an interesting name as a brand. Take care!
Dope!

IT'S A PANDA!!!!!!!!!

I literally WANT ONE OF THESE it looks like one of my favorite guitar I'll never own and that's a vox phantom 😭

Good pinstripe for the paint transition? Could also do the neck/head transition as well…. Looks great
I was envisioning a gold or silver one for the transition.
