Since this video has been picking up in views lately I just want to point out that this is the oldest build video on the channel and is therefore the lowest quality build video, both in terms of the video itself, and of the build. Anything uploaded in 2018+ is much better. th-cam.com/play/PLIeY3my9UbhQpEfNoq7yAFgkc_V_SSrck.html
What a wonderful guitar. Glad I found your channel. I am going to enjoy binging your builds oldest to newest...see how your craft improves. Continued success. 🎸🎸
This is the third of your guitar build videos I've watched. You videos are very good, and the newer ones better, but it's your guitar building skills that's most impressive.
Just a point to help - when glueing up the body, use two sash cramps underneath (near the ends, as you have done), and use the third one across the top of the body, in the middle. Saves using the little "G" cramps.
Wow. What a beauty you built here! You my man have a super talent! I so wish i could do this myself. Unfortunately not in my dreams could i build such a creation.
I recently finished a lap steel slide guitar out of mostly scrap, and it sounds pretty cool. It's mostly red oak from my kids' bed rail and brass from a surplus metal yard. A lap steel doesn't need actual frets, so it's possibly the easiest guitar you can make, with the possible exception of a cigar box 3-string guitar. It's a great starting place for a beginner. I have never built a solid body electric. Never quite figured out how I'd shape a neck with the tools I have. I guess you could use the neck off a Squier strat, Yamaha EG-112 or Pacifica. You could spend $50 and get a very nice cheap neck and lots of spare electronic parts and tuners. I have some ideas for my own body shape, but imho, the basic Stratocaster or SG shapes are the coolest production guitar shapes ever done. I love Jerry Garcia's Tiger and Rosebud guitar shapes, too. Seems one key is to make something that balances correctly, whether you're sitting down, standing up, or putting it down on a guitar stand. The upper bout has to let it balance right when played standing up and hanging from a strap. The lower bout needs to balance it when sitting, AND look good with the upper one. Unless you will always hang it by its neck when not in use, it's nice if the bottom of the guitar (near the end strap button) is flat enough to rest on a standard guitar stand correctly.
Watched this video until you began doing all the cavity work by hand with a drill press and just eyeballing it with a pin router. That will bite you in a bad way one day soon. The most useful suggestion I can make is to either make or buy some guitar routing templates for neck, pickup, body shape and cavity spaces in the type required for your builds. Use a plunge router with a "Flush Cutting Ball Bearing Router Bit For Guitar Making - 3/8". Google and Stewart MacDonald (stewmac) are your friend. Keep on building!
Thanks! I thought I had the audio balanced out, but that may have been my settings instead of the video itself. I'll look into balancing it out, but may need to completely re-upload to fix it.
It's quite nice for a custom guitar, I've been re-building two electric guitars when both failed on me in playing on my amplifier and my god... Was a mess in cakes of solder, flux contaminating the metals and the coils were shot XD, it was hard but hopefully mid February I'll get my last parts to finally get them both done.
Thanks! Yeah, the wiring is always the most complicated part, I pretty much learned how to do it by getting wiring diagrams from www.seymourduncan.com/wiring-diagrams, which is really helpful because you can get a diagram for any configuration of pickups, switches, and pots.
Yeah I got the print-layouts in putting all the circuitry. I'll admit who ever made both electric guitars back then, sure choked and eventually killed them both, I bought a 5-way switch blade, volume pots 250k B, pickguard chrome, bronze-plated pickups and humbuckler. Waiting on the bridge bronze-plated and capacitors 0.047U online. It'll be good to try them out to see the results. ^^
most of the problems are probably in prepairing the surface so the solder flows out without adding too mush heat or flux rough up the back of the pots a little with sandpaper then get a bit of solder to stick on it solder the wires and just touch the wire to the drop of solder on the pot with the soldering iron , they should flow together pretty quick if youre using a good soldering iron with a clean tip , get some flux remover and rub everything clean once youre done allso important to ground everything to one spot so you dont get ground loops and keep the wires still untill the solder has hardened , if the solder doesnt look smooth but like metal slag you moved too soon and the joint its porious and will not hold / conduct good enough once the solder is hard give it a slight pull so you know youre eyes dont play tricks on you it might help to lay a factory guitar open next to youre project so you can see how they done it
Yeah, I manage to get them both done actually, play well when I got the solders to grip both pots and wires. The blue one plays like a beast and am happy for it.
Thanks! Unfortunately I already have my next couple builds planned out which will take me until at least this time next year since I can't work in my garage during winter. My latest build is going to go up for sale soon though once I figure out how I want to list it. It's the one from this video th-cam.com/video/Hcnw1FoG_8c/w-d-xo.html and is a much higher quality build.
you had me hook line and sinker with this guitar then you routed the channel in the face and laminated over the birdseye.. otherwise killer skills and guitar.
God I didn't even make it that far. I got lost when he veneered the side he glued the Birdseye too. But wow to what u just said. Guy should've just used pressboard or basswood from the sounds of it.
NICE JOB, HEY TO ALL THE PEOPLE TELLING THIS GUY ALL OF THE THINGS HE IS DOING WRONG, REMEMBER HE'S NOT CLAIMING TO BE A LUTHIER. THE TITLE SAYS (HOBBYIST) CUSTOM ELECTRIC GUITAR. HE DOESN'T HAVE ALL OF THE SPECIALIZED TOOLS LIKE WE LUTHIERS DO AND WE ALL HAD TO START SOMEWHERE. CUT THE GUY SOME SLACK AT LEAST HE IS DOING SOMETHING COOL AND I THINK THE GUITAR IS PRETTY COOL MY SELF.
Problem with the the wood pot cover is you can rip you pot through it if your jack cord is tight I just did that to my guitar the screws got strip so when I pulled the plate came out and I ripped it out with the wires
You should also fix the side of the neck pocket cut it flat on the mapple then tapper it down to the top of the flat and it will look like you did it on purpose
could have used a long drill from the neck pocket to drill that hole under the top for the wire, the way the majority are dont, very nice though, better then anything i have built
JUST A TIP, TAPE THE SIDES OF THE GUITAR OFF BEFOR YOU GLUE SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIST TIME CLEANING IT OFF LATER. I ACTUALLY LIKE THE JIG YOU SET UP AS A VENEER PRESS. I THINK IF YOU KEEP BUILDING MORE GUITARS AND BUY A ROUTER YOU WILL DO SOME REALLY COOL STUFF. ALSO LEARN HOE TO MAKE MDF TEMPLATES FOR CAVITY ROUTS AND EVEN BODY AND NECK SHAPES.
Why did you book match the maple?, did you intend to have that as the finish initialy? TIP when centre joining boards cut the joints with a router and straight edge template, the joint will be perfect and much stronger than a sawn edge joint. I like this guitar nice design man
this may not be the smartest questions but why not ask if i don't know. what are the differences of an oscillating drum sander and a plain drum sander? and why use a a drill press before using the router?
An oscillating drum sander makes the sanding marks a little bit more random so all the sand marks aren't all going in one direction. Using a drill press to remove some of the material before using the router reduces the work the router has to do. Routers work best with a smaller depth of cut.
pitty about that channel you doug intoo the surface for the wiring wat you couldve done is use a long drilbit and drill through the back of the neckpoxket intoo both pickup pockets , then drill the hole for the jackplug in the rear and enter the drill through there and componenthole and drill from there intoo the back pickup pocket , that way you couldve hidden the channels and keep the bookended surface intact another option wouldve been to lay out the channels intoo the lower part of the woon before gleuing the top part on there (does take a little planning out to predict where they need to go ) as for making the relieves for the ribcage of the player and any other rough shaping : it eazier to use a cheap anglegrinder with a 80 grit plapper disk g02.a.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1cFd2IFXXXXa.XXXXq6xXFXXXN/10pcs-New-100x3x16mm-Quick-Change-Sanding-Flap-font-b-Disc-b-font-Grinding-Wheel-For-Grit.jpg to grind the relieves in then hand sand it smooth using a spokeshave works but it gets a bit hard when you have to work against the grain did you have any throuble with humming , usually you need to ground the bridge as whell so you dont hear polpping noizes through the amp when you touch the strings
I have drilled through the back of the neck pocket / through the pickup pockets for wiring before on other guitars. I had planned to have that area covered by veneer on this guitar from the beginning though, so I decided to use this much simpler method. As for humming, I haven't noticed any issues, but I'll keep an eye out for it.
Really cool design. However, I think you gave yourself a lot of unnecessary sanding work by not gluing on the walnut top piece by piece or pre-cut from a template instead of one big chunk.
AFTER FINISHING THIS VIDEO I SEE THAT YOU DO HAVE ALL THE TOOLS NEEDED TO BUILD A NECK. JUST TRY IT I BET YOU COULD BUILD ONE YOU HAVE SKILLS. THERE ARE MANY TUTORIALS HERE ON TH-cam. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.
So... Why did you veneer the side you put the Birdseye on again? Lol I know, I know. Don't poke holes in something that worked. I just hate veneers in the first place. They make a guitar look cheap. I'd rather see multiple pieces of good wood joined together. I do it all the time. I Keep it at 3 and under per body. The only thing I'll veneer is a headstock. But that's just me. I really just don't understand putting a veneer between the Birdseye and walnut
The lines on that darker wood are so crooked and unprofessional looking. I want to like it but the dark wood is just an ugly design/pattern, I mean the overall shape of the guitar is not sexy either it's bloated looking and just unsightly. But honestly you can see the potential in his work. The wood itself is beautiful the finish is awesome and he obviously knows how to make a good guitar. He just lacks that eye for refinement and overall aesthetic appeal. It comes with time, if not for those two major factors he would have a super nice guitar, but overall great job man.
I disagree with your point on the darker wood. I see the design as creative an unique and it’s execution as excellent. I enjoy the certain look of that dark wood but that is my own personal taste. I can see how it could be seen as not ideal. I agree with everything else you say.
OH YOU DO HAVE A ROUER, HAHA THATS WHY I NEED TO FINISH VIDEOS BEFOR I COMMENT I ALWAYS DO THAT. IF YOU HAD AN MDF TEMPLATE OF THE BODY YOU COULD HAVE SAVED YOURSELF HOURS OF WORK. JUST FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
first off the maple top should have been put on after you routed for the pickups and control cavity the body should have been thicker. the design with the cutout things in the top is stupid nobody would want to play a guitar like that the top should have been scraped like a gibson and with a lighter wood on the bottom you could have done the layers in the body but not the top and you shouldn't show your self painting (ughhh) and the control cavity should have been countersunk. don't quit your day job

Nice artwork for orbital guitars
This guitar screams for a Tru-oil finish. Fun to watch, thanks
Even though this is a old video it's still great.
Nice looking guitar 👍👌💪 I been playing guitar for 39 years now
i know a lot of us are not happy with your way, but hey if your happy who cares. you had fun doing it and never too old to learn and least try.
you are the man. cutting that board like that. good job.....
Just a point to help - when glueing up the body, use two sash cramps underneath (near the ends, as you have done), and use the third one across the top of the body, in the middle. Saves using the little "G" cramps.

all in all da design is stunning
You make such unique body designs
WOW...wish I could buy this one....❤️
Gorgeous... Just, gorgeous. Wish I could do what you can.
very cool video! if i can suggest one small thing would be to even out the volume.. some parts almost killed me... Thanks for sharing your talent. :)

most of the problems are probably in prepairing the surface so the solder flows out without adding too mush heat or flux
rough up the back of the pots a little with sandpaper then get a bit of solder to stick on it
solder the wires and just touch the wire to the drop of solder on the pot with the soldering iron , they should flow together pretty quick if youre using a good soldering iron with a clean tip , get some flux remover and rub everything clean once youre done
allso important to ground everything to one spot so you dont get ground loops and keep the wires still untill the solder has hardened , if the solder doesnt look smooth but like metal slag you moved too soon and the joint its porious and will not hold / conduct good enough
once the solder is hard give it a slight pull so you know youre eyes dont play tricks on you
it might help to lay a factory guitar open next to youre project so you can see how they done it
Yeah, I manage to get them both done actually, play well when I got the solders to grip both pots and wires. The blue one plays like a beast and am happy for it.
You have the right idea. Thank you for sharing, keep up the good work.
With CNC so great in there cutting you may want to revisit this design again, lol
This is a work of art ...
Was the most painful guitar I've ever seen made in my life , but he's got some skills
I thought why??
Although I don't like these seagulls in the design, I admire your vision and skills. Great work man!
I know this is a very old post but that’s actually his logo, the individual “seagull” pieces.
@@jinnij.caiman Ah yes. I see. Still don't like that looks, but it makes sense now. Thank your for your very late reply ;)
Life L 1Ke . That is one Excellent Guitar Walnut man I would love to have one made for me like that one . Thanks TroyFrost Troyster 🎸 🤘 Rock.

Bevel on the draw knife goes toward the work. Prevents the Boeing 737 syndrome. By keeping the flat against the work, you can't pull out of a dive!
The guitar that waves hello. ;)
Does that trick of clamping a towel down work with most towels and most kinds of wood? If so it's a wonderful idea.
NICE JOB, HEY TO ALL THE PEOPLE TELLING THIS GUY ALL OF THE THINGS HE IS DOING WRONG, REMEMBER HE'S NOT CLAIMING TO BE A LUTHIER. THE TITLE SAYS (HOBBYIST) CUSTOM ELECTRIC GUITAR. HE DOESN'T HAVE ALL OF THE SPECIALIZED TOOLS LIKE WE LUTHIERS DO AND WE ALL HAD TO START SOMEWHERE. CUT THE GUY SOME SLACK AT LEAST HE IS DOING SOMETHING COOL AND I THINK THE GUITAR IS PRETTY COOL MY SELF.
Beautiful !
great guitar you made, but you need to use tuner before play
awesome build Bro
Problem with the the wood pot cover is you can rip you pot through it if your jack cord is tight I just did that to my guitar the screws got strip so when I pulled the plate came out and I ripped it out with the wires
You should also fix the side of the neck pocket cut it flat on the mapple then tapper it down to the top of the flat and it will look like you did it on purpose
Really good too watch but can I ask what you're thinking was for the design on the front ????
Very good!
Its better to glue the top halves separately to prevent a black glue line and then glue the top on the body.
I swear I could smell the burning wood when he was routing out!!!!
Yeah I noticed that. How the Heck does that work? This damn internet is getting WEIRD.
awesome..
could have used a long drill from the neck pocket to drill that hole under the top for the wire, the way the majority are dont, very nice though, better then anything i have built
All criticism is good it helps improve your skills
Good effort
why didn't you put any shielding in the electronics cavity??? and did you make a 2nd cover for that cavity that completely covers it???
Do you drive your car like your power tools flatout . You know you can slow down the speed of the tools & maybe not burn out the edges of them?
JUST A TIP, TAPE THE SIDES OF THE GUITAR OFF BEFOR YOU GLUE SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIST TIME CLEANING IT OFF LATER. I ACTUALLY LIKE THE JIG YOU SET UP AS A VENEER PRESS. I THINK IF YOU KEEP BUILDING MORE GUITARS AND BUY A ROUTER YOU WILL DO SOME REALLY COOL STUFF. ALSO LEARN HOE TO MAKE MDF TEMPLATES FOR CAVITY ROUTS AND EVEN BODY AND NECK SHAPES.
Una vera zozzeria
Why did you book match the maple?, did you intend to have that as the finish initialy?
TIP when centre joining boards cut the joints with a router and straight edge template, the joint will be perfect and much stronger than a sawn edge joint.
I like this guitar nice design man
Andrew Hayes Yes, that was a waste of perfectly good Birdseye Maple.
Who was it that was helping you ? Your dad or your father in law ?
just so u know, by da look of it the neck geometry might be a lil off,, i might be wrong though
Could of just drill hole for pickup wires to go through look lot better
Gibson NEXGEN LES PAUL !!!

@@gregoftheyoyo thanks for the knowledge
That poor dremel sounded in pain...lol
That cavity cover could have been done a lot better than that if you first made a template
Nice build! Is that a Dremel Trio tool you are using on some work? if so, kudos to you, I find it useless for most projects.
Great video, but can you please turn down the power tools? It's painful with earbuds.
Intrigued by your Dremel router, Is such an animal still available?
If I recall correctly it's a Dremel Trio, and I assume they are still available somewhere.
pitty about that channel you doug intoo the surface for the wiring
wat you couldve done is use a long drilbit and drill through the back of the neckpoxket intoo both pickup pockets , then drill the hole for the jackplug in the rear and enter the drill through there and componenthole and drill from there intoo the back pickup pocket , that way you couldve hidden the channels and keep the bookended surface intact
another option wouldve been to lay out the channels intoo the lower part of the woon before gleuing the top part on there (does take a little planning out to predict where they need to go )
as for making the relieves for the ribcage of the player and any other rough shaping : it eazier to use a cheap anglegrinder with a 80 grit plapper disk

Im pretty sure it hum like a bitch...if you didnt ground strings/ Yourself.
Most people do it via a ground wire to the bridge/tail

oh that poor dremel LMFAO
How much did it end up weighing?
where is the earth to bridge post?
If you were to sell this guitar what would you want for it?
So... Why did you veneer the side you put the Birdseye on again? Lol
I know, I know. Don't poke holes in something that worked.

Where can one go to make a purchase of one of your guitars?
A few of my guitars are up for sale here reverb.com/shop/orbitals-boutique-1
Dude, why don’t you buy the templates for pickups. You’ll thank me later.
The special paint for you electronic pockets to help cancel the hum of you can glue in tin foil
cool
Neat design. I think the pups are a bit dark IMO.
The music was written by you? You mean you scored it with notation and copyrighted it? Really?
Meaning the riffs weren't copied from songs that somebody else wrote.
It's a shame you can't like it twice. Or four Times. Or even more...
Invest in a planner and some templates

Don’t you ground your bridge? Or do you enjoy electrocution?
beautiful craftsmanship. please intonate your guitar.

not too original, so you took a les paul and made it ugly, congrats, but yea really good skills
Don't forget to like and subscribe 😍
after all of that work that you did you cheat us out of listening to what it sounds like? I'll have to give you a thumbs down
I'm literally playing it at the end of the video during the wiring
@@OrbitalGuitars okay I'll take back my thumbs down but really you should make a video of you playing it it'd be cool
first off the maple top should have been put on after you routed for the pickups and control cavity the body should have been thicker. the design with the cutout things in the top is stupid nobody would want to play a guitar like that the top should have been scraped like a gibson and with a lighter wood on the bottom you could have done the layers in the body but not the top and you shouldn't show your self painting (ughhh) and the control cavity should have been countersunk. don't quit your day job
Fun fact, it's possible to be critical of something without being a shitstain about it, you should try it sometime.
I don’t what to say😟😟😟
