Making a telecaster thats chambered with spalted elm. Salvaged from a dead elm that suffered from dutch elm disease. A pretty involved build that used rhino cad, a DIY CNC machine and home made pickups.
You pilot holes do awesome work! Sounds amazing, looks amazing. Great job Jack Plates!!
These Jack plates are brilliant Luthiers.
Where do you guys find the time to be great musicians, songwriters and carpenters??? As advanced as you guys are on your musical instruments & vocals it seems like to have come that far it would've consumed every waking hour...and now I see you're also great with woodwork and electronics...??? I'm impressed!
Beautiful guitar. I’ve always liked the idea of a chambered Tele myself and that one turned out great.
I love the wood choice. Non-traditional wood always makes for a good looking guitar!
Hey that's pretty respectable work for a couple of jack plates...
Great job!
These guys are officially famous
The finish on the wood was perfect! Nice job.
"Look at me I'm Sandra De." With that one comment, I think you made my wife interested in guitars. Beautiful!
Way cool. Love the finish. It really brought out the grain in the wood. All of the chrome gives an industrial look to it, like it was a machine, which isn’t too far from the intended use.
That is a piece of art. Beautiful beyond words. Thanks for the video guys.
True craftsmanship.
I need to make one.
thank you for the kind words
This is the most beautiful Telecaster I ever saw !
KStarDid thank you very much. I think Nashville’s humidity should get the credit
It was until they put that hunk of metal junk for a trem system on it. That wrecked it for me. Still.... impressive work. The guys have incredible skills, and talent. I wish I had that skill. Um. And their equipment. LOL
nice one. chambering makes sense when using the heavier duty hardware
Oh my, what a beautiful Chambered Telecaster creation!
Not bad for a couple of dirty rotten jack plates. It definitely sounded funnier in my mind. Great video and an awesome guitar! You just found a new subscriber.
Man, sweet as can be. Thanks for taking the time to record this so we can see what the set up was! Awesome!
Awesome work guys 🫡
WOW GUYS!! Totally Awesome! You inspire me! Now if I could just get the garage cleaned out!
Beautiful Spalted Maple and wow, what a nice Fat sound! Great craftsmanship, insane Tele!
Spalted ELM.
that final lick was super cool
Very, Very interestig work. What a fine and fantastic chambered guitar you've made. And finally i found you have installed the really good tremolo "Stets Bar Pro",very, very effective (expensive, but is the best). Congratulations.
Spalted wood is special. Thanks for using it in your build. I'll subscribe now in light of your good taste. Your humor is good as well...thanks!
Mark Tourtellotte thank you for subscribing. I wish there were a million more like you
There's just something about spalted wood, it just looks amazing to me - Love It!!! Great Job!!
Awesome video, love how peaceful you made it. great looking guitar!
Thank you
Beautiful job! I have a stetsbar tremolo on a Firebird (kinda industrial looking but it STAYS IN TUNE) My only suggestion for future tele builds would be to countersink the control plate. It looks great when the plate is flush with the body.
Ian Curtis You were the second person that mentioned that. And I agree. I think I need to plan ahead a little better on the next build. It seems like once it comes off the CNC machine it’s hard to center it back up.Thank you for watching and thanks for the comment.
BEAUTIFUL looking guitar! And it sounds fantastic, too.
Your talents are never ending
Awesome looking & sounding Axe , gentleman ! Love it !
This is one of the most beautiful guitars I've ever seen. I personally love wooden like guitars and instruments in general, as wood is an amazing material and has to show up in the final art. Congratulations on the very good job!
To hell with the naysayers, boys. That is some killer work!
thanks
Wonderful skills. I really appreciate the CNC precision on shaping the cavities and other parts.
What skills. The machine made the guitar. These guys just screwed it together.
The skills are being able to program the machine to make the necessary cuts.
@@helmuttdvm No, the skill in guitar building is in the knowledge of the wood and the shaping and contouring of the body and neck. He made a slab guitar, that feels, plays, and sounds like every $150 tele at the guitar supermarket.
late to the party, but she is a beauty! Would love to see a bass video sometime!
Two dudes vibin’ over building a guitar together. What could be more bromantic than that?
WOAHHH!!!! farrrkk wot a kick arse sound. Fantastic.
That headstock is just incredibly beautiful
A fantastic guitar with a awesome sound... perfect... you are the guy!
thank you man!
Wow that turned out nice! Good job!
that thing sounds killer. i need me a hum bucking tele asap
Absolute killer tele guys👍
I wish I’d seen the stetsbar top mount trem system before I’d cavity cut mine to fit a supervee maverick tele trem system... doh!!!!!
Even with the humbuckers your tele has a great stinging wirey tone.
Brilliant🎸
Wow! Tele with Whammy! Very Nice!
Fantastic, great video and guitar
Spalted maple has an interesting look to it. Everything looks really good. Thanks for sharing, we can see how much work is actually involved in building a guitar. 🤟
Spalted ELM.
@@chrispile3878 wow, never seen one from Elm b4, cool!
bel servizio, sull'artigianato, complimenti , e bel suono della chitarra è sempre una emozione, veder nascere uno strumento musicale. grazie , ciao. siete dei veri artisti.
Very nice! And...my lack of skills and equipment is exactly why I buy all my guitars.
I'm with you man
@@themassacoustics264 No your not "with him". Lol. You just posted a video building your own guitar.
Beautiful spalting!
Great video and a terrific instrument. Thanks guys
I have a feeling that the two of you will go on to do great things... So I subscribed. Thanks for the video.
thank you very much
Amazing guys!!!!! The most beautiful tele I've seen... Although I prefer tele headstock
Beautiful job!
Great job you guys!
Thanks, Pam
Beautiful work!
Wow, that is a stunning looking Tele! Love the trem
Looks and sounds great! I love a humbucker in a tele!
The woods of this guitar are amazing ! I thinks the metal parts that are mostly chromed could have been brass to match the wood and look extraordinary .
Yep, a bit better synergy with some warm brass kit on it!
Body : telecaster
Neck : strocaster
Pickup : les paul..
Nice combine
Beautiful exotic wood.
Spectacular! Really impressive how the guitar looks and sounds!
damn I got excited watching you create that magnificent instrument,i wanted to chord it bad,then turn it all the way up,nice sound
strattuner thanks man, I’m with you. I might be addicted to guitars
its alright,you not hurting anyone, indulge,hell you might create something no one has ever heard before,i really like the one you just created,lucky you
So calming
Nice sounding guitfiddle. Killer content.
Wow - really nice project!
sounds great and looks great!
Great job there, ya pair o'control knobs!! :)
Wow! Absolutely gorgeous!
Damn! Great job guys. I think I'd have gone with a hard tail though.
Me too not fancied on the whammy
Stunning work
what a couple of 'jack plates'
Really like this, I might want even more off, I hurt my back when I was 30 & My 74 Les Paul & 73 Strats were too damn heavy, killed my back, I like your approach. I've got 2 extra Strat bodies I'd like to run through a planer & then chamber & cap after like this. Thanks for the inspiration, sounds great too, I loved a Tele deluxe I had with humbuckers.
Beautiful sound!
If the pickup wires are shielded, you already have a noise reduction path, yes? I mean, all EMR will hit the shielding first and travel to ground, right? So, is it even necessary to shield the control cavity? Just asking. thx.
the connections to the capacitor and the pots are not shielded though
@@andreapiseri8521 I just wonder if shielding it really helps. I have some unshielded monitors in my little studio and I haven't tried some A/B test but I do get a weird hum when I face my monitors and big screen TV then if I turn 90 deg left or right, it's gone. ? weird.
Absolutely beautiful guitar amazing work 👍
Absolutely beautiful men and it sounds great. Great job. Thanks
That is so friggin beautiful.
Hey Dudes !!"! A realy wonderful job !!! Love this Guitar very well ! greetings from Berlin Germany !!!
Reiner Maurer thank you sir!
Very nice The making Guitar ... tremendous
Nice tele
Nice from your neighbor to the north east. Hey ya.
That is one of the FINEST examples of the Spalted Maple that I have ever seen . I DO NOT have a robot drill , mind ye .
IETCHX69 thank you. You got to watch those robots they can steal your medication while you sleep. I keep mine in a plywood box.
Its looking good 😎🎸🎸
7:35 is there a reason you're spraying clear sealer onto everything in your shop? Or is there nothing in the path that will matter at that point?
I'm pretty sure I cleared the area but I have been known to move too quick and be impatient sometimes.
@@themassacoustics264 I mean, if nothing important is there, it's prob no big deal. It just seemed like a lot of stuff was there so I'm like NOOOOOO! You are getting tiny droplets of clear onto everything!!! Respirator!!!!!! save yer lungs! I used to airbrush some and it's more fun to just start spraying paint onto shirts and canvases but that stuff FLOATS and you do inhale a good bit of it. Don't wear a mask, spray that stuff then go pick your nose and see what you get! haha so.... I won't use urethanes w/o a respirator nor spraying or sanding w/o a dust mask if not urethanes (ie, water-based). interesting vid!!
Your picture looks like that dude in that blind guy badass horror movie don't breath lol
Hey nothing will get in your nose if you're a mouth breather lol
Lol I just saw that part u talking about yeah he definitely breathing it in and yeah he had some stuff on the path of his spray rage haha hopefully it was a well ventilated space. Hell of guitar dude made though
Incredible ! Very nice !!
d jazz thanks!
Looks and sounds fantastic.
Sorry for the CNC comment, Sometimes that little "Ed Roman" guy comes out in me.... End of the day... Killer guitar!!! Nice job.
Nice work guys and a good sounding guitar at the end too.
Beautifull project guy's!!!
This is a gorgeous and well made guitar! That said, the only change I would suggest would be to do two individual channels through the main body instead of the individual chambers, and then you can do F-holes (another great Jersey insult) and make it a semi-hollow body Tele. Just my two cents though...
Great great job
dang.... that's a thicccccc jackplate
Fantastic ,send it here to scotland
Matthew Todd Scotland?! I might want hand deliver it. I love Scotland.
Dutch elm disease is a fungal infection spread by elm bark beetles. Nice guitar!
You screwing and tapping Jack plates.
Nice job!
I like chambering on a tele. I prefer the thinline style though. If your going to go through the trouble of chambering , why not tune it for an F- hole in the upper bout.
Stunning work!
That tremolo is sweet!
Yeah man!
shout out to stets bar
fantastic job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Uma obra prima. quem é apaixonado por guitarra sabe que vocês fizeram um belo e lindo trabalho. I'm from Brazil. I like this guitar very much. Congratulations.
Amazing Job!!!! Great!!
Sounds sweet, nice.
Great video...excellent skills...wonderful result!
CNC...must be really nice.
Dutch Elm Disease by the Beetles
(Lenin/Mc Artney)
I once had a burl
Or should I say
It eluded me
But then, down came a tree
By more than a breeze
Dutch Elm Disease
I went to the workshop to ponder and had an idea
Ran out in the yard to find beetles devouring that tree
Oh wow wow woweee
I took it inside
made it some tea
(that confused Betty Lee)
I chopped up the wood
sawed, planed and squeezed
Isn't it good
Dutch Elm Disease
Betty Lee knitted mittens while I carefully crafted a top
To adorn that ol' Tele with chambers and 'buckers and pots
That turned out quite nice
Betty said, between fries
Who'd a thunk, jeeze
Dutch Elm Disease
Mea Dish
Well done 👍
Sounds like a Beatle song...lol
Our next hit!...or only hit.
