Making a Guitar - Handmade Electric Guitar Build - All the Steps for a Tele (well... most of them)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 พ.ค. 2021
- A friend wanted a guitar! This is a build that from time to time while I was in the shop I would hit the record button. I didn’t catch everything, but I did capture most of the steps. When my friend Mike asked me to build him a guitar, he was able to show up and pick out every piece of wood from my stash. This tele has a roasted swamp ash, semi-hollow body; a Bastogne/paradox walnut droptop; cocobolo fingerboard; and a killer flame maple neck! The pickups were handpicked by Mike by listening to tones from @righteoussoundpickups. Hopefully you enjoy it, and as always, please ask any questions you may have. Thanks! Tye

So glad I found your page. Fun to watch your process of building..
Thanks for checking it out!🤘
It's a neat Idea that you are using a board covered in the tape to clamp up the different parts of the guitar body and blank. Making it easier to both clamp and remove once the glue dries sense the glue doesn't stick very much to the tape.
that your wife textin' ya all the time tellin' ya to get upstairs and get some supper into ya and give up on that blasted guitar ? lol j/k ya. that thing is beautiful, love the head work and tuning key stuff / area especially. i love it
Great Job ! You are The Master ! Fantastic !
Thank you! Cheers!
That's really cool that you chambered the body. I love the look of that top and the fretboard is stunning!
Thank you very much!
I watched this because I'm thinking of building my daughter a guitar for Christmas. Wow, what a great build! That guitar is stunning. Fantastic work!
Really cool! Good luck with your build, and thanks for the compliments. Cheers!
I really like the wood choices you used in this guitar build. Some amazing grain and colors.
Thank you! They were all selected by the customer.
That is some seriously gorgeous wood!🎸
Thank you!
Fabulous
Great build man! The wood on the top looks awesome in finish.
Thanks Chris! That one was for a friend, so he had the opportunity to hand-pick all of the materials by going through my stash. Bastogne walnut is one of my absolute favorites. Cheers!
I'm in love with these videos, man. I've watched every video you've uploaded. Extremely nice work. My sister lives in Cbus so I may have to come visit you next time I'm up there! Keep up the good work, my friend.
Sweet, and thanks for following along! Give me a shout when you are in town.
Such a great build! Would love to hear some demos with this (and all the guitars you make)
I really should start capturing some tones...
That's one handsome set neck tele!
Thank you!
Love seeing modern improvements to the classic T style. Leo got a lot right but it shouldn’t be sacrilege to have new ideas either.
I agree... nothing like a little 1.5 degree neck break angle to improve string action height.
Good music
Just found your videos today and I'm really enjoying them. I usually skip the "no talking" videos but man you are making some killer stuff.
Not gonna lie though, my heart stopped when you drilled that backplate on top of the body. Haha.
Looking forward to watching more of your stuff and seeing what you do moving forward. Definitely copping some little tricks already.
Very cool of you to say! I talk “just a bit” at the end, but I generally don’t like listening to myself. 😆 If you ever need any help, please let me know!
@@shockthefox ah man, thanks! I personally don't make videos because I'm so painfully awkward on camera so I post all of my pedal, amp and guitar builds on Instagram @snkpedals
A beautiful choice of wood and craftsmanship. Would sure like to hear what it sounds like n
Классно. Благодарю. Посмотрел с удовольствием. Россия, хабаровск смотрит.
Cheers!
Я рад что поднял вам настроение.
Wow! 🍷🍷🎸🎸
🤘
You use helper boards to keep your fret board radius block strait. Excellent. Did you get started by watching the fantastic David Fletcher videos? I totally need to send that guy a beer. (Beautiful guitar!)
Another stunner mate, don’t know why I hadn’t commented on this before, 🤦♂️
Thanks man!
I just watched most of this again… and I forgot how cool this guitar was. This was for a friend, and he got to pick out all of the wood from my stash - which made it even cooler. 🤘
@@shockthefox I’ll often relearn techniques I forgot from watching old videos and forget how cool something was when I first did it
Whoa, nice trick for the fretboard!
👍 A CNC would be SO MUCH easier, but without, you learn to get creative. Thanks!
@@shockthefox I'll try this trick for sure for my next build, I won't get a CNC anytime soon :D
That is one sexy Tele.. And love the video too.. The editing, the music background.. How is this channel not 1M subs yet? You have all the ingredients for a video that would go viral. Let me show my support by subscribing to your channel. Keep inspiring others, More power to you brother!
Very cool compliment! I genuinely appreciate it.
@@shockthefox You deserve it bro!
Very nice! I love it. Have you ever put F-holes on the top?
Plenty of times… check out some of my past builds on Instagram. You will find plenty. Cheers!
@@shockthefox thank you. The blue one looks great, I'm thinking of buying on when you open up for orders.
What is that laser level you are using? That's a great idea that I wish I would have used for my builds to help out lol.
I see you using ultimate titebond over the original titebond.Ive been wondering about it 🤔🤔
Where can I get the M&M beach towel?
Also what was that finish you used?
Gorgeous build . . what do you finish this with, Tru-Oil or something else ?
Thank you! I use Odies Oil - which is more of a hard wax.
🦊🎸👌🤷🏼♂️👍

So much glue!
Too much!
Hi
What kind of finish/oil you've used?
Odies Oil, butter, and wax.
Hi - could you tell me what wood is that fretboard? Is it as easy to work as it looked in this?
It is cocobolo. It works like a typical rosewood - and just as oily. 🙏
@@shockthefox thank you!
How long did this guitar take to complete & if it’s not a rude question, what would you sell this for? Really enjoy your videos. I see your cell blowing up with ‘orders’😉
I only do about 10 builds per year by choice. I don’t want this thing that I love to be a “production”. This particular guitar with these specific woods would be ~3-3 1/2K. Hopefully my answer isn’t rude. How long... not sure. I only do one at a time so I can focus on each individual guitar.
Shock The Fox Hello and thank you for the quick reply. We (the BF and I) loved the cut wood sunburst video too. The yellow you started with was amazing. Not that it didn’t end up spectacular, because it did. The price you noted for the above video is more than fair, if not low. So much time goes into it. Nothing like handmade!👍🏼
I’d rather the people that buy my guitars make money when they sell them. I price them to make a few bucks and that’s it. Thank you so much for following along! I liked the all yellow also - but I was convincingly talked out of it.
Trying to figure out how to read your entire reply. They are cut off. Do you have this issue?
At the very bottom of what I wrote, select “read more”. Or... I have no idea.
How do you set up the action from scratch ?
String action? I always draw out all builds full scale once I have all of the necessary parts for the build.
@@shockthefox Yes, I meant string action. What program do you use to draw all parts ?
Thank you for respond.
Also I noticed you are using the Festool router, what model is that ?
@@acsinler619 no program... just a pencil and rulers.
@@acsinler619 If I remember correctly, it is the OF 1400?
Bro what is the name of the band?
These are downloads from Epidemic Sound. You can find pretty cool stuff to go with videos - and it’s easy.
@@shockthefox thank you,bro...
Do you agree the weather in Ohio is complete crap? Or is that just northern Ohio
crappy music
Great feedback.
@@shockthefox classic Tye feed back to crap comments 🤣
