Hey thanks for watching and supporting! I didn't follow much for guides I was just going off knowledge for the most part. Best advice is don't rush, errors can be fixed. The most critical is making sure the neck fits right and use a ruler when dry fitting to make sure your strings wont be pointed to far to the left or right, you want them centered. Run the ruler tight to the side of the neck and see where it lines up on the bridge. Give it a go, start with a cheap kit and learn from it. I definitely made mistakes on this one as well. Also one thing I didn't do that I should have was use a sanding sealer before doing any clear coats. Good luck!

@mattiecreates thnx a lot for the advice bro. I hope I can do it later this year. Keep the good vibes, 👌🏼

Hey! Thanks so much for watching, and yeah the back scratcher is a life saver haha. what kind of medium are you using for your tiger?

@mattiecreates oil

I used fiebings red , yellow and blue leather dye. and to dilute you can use 91 to 99 percent alcohol. The one step i didnt do which is a must is to apply an sanding sealer AFTER you dye it and then sand it back lightly and then apply your clear or oil coat. Also be careful not to sand through the veneer if it has one. but they also apply a sanding sealer so you need to sand that off lightly before you dey it or the dye wont take. be careful

I think you are referring to the water? when I spray the lather with water it becomes darker. I do that to make it damp so it can take stamping a lot better.

😂 you're late to the party

Thank you for the subscribe it is much appreciated. I have alot of videos planned but im not able to commit as much time as alot of people on UA-cam since i work full time. But stay tuned !!

@@mattiecreates He didn't say anything about friendship. Will we be friends? Friend!

Hello. I used leather dye for this. Fiebings leather dye it works great for wood!

@@mattiecreatesThanks! 👍

Thank you for the kind words! Appreciate that. Thanks for watching.

@06barcafan10 your son will love it, it is a big learning curve, I started to go through my clear coat as well and as soon as I see some stain colour when wet sanding I stop and put a couple more coats on. But you built it for him, and I'm sure he is going love it and play the heck out of it! Thanks for your comment and for sharing your experience. When you finish it, if you have IG, give me a tag in it. I'd love to see it.

Thank you I really appreciate that!. I did my best for what I had lol. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.

@mattiecreates The finish looks like a dragon heart or something.. The orange or yellow around the pick up area really adds to the depth..

@@Bmonty7777 Thank you, Yeah i knew i wanted a burst of some type and just played around with the colors i knew i wanted in it.

Honestly it was just a free backtrack I found on UA-cam music section lol if I can find out I'll let you know

@@mattiecreates ok thank you scott

Hey thanks for your kind words! I was going to do a classic shellac French polish on this originally but i could not get any shellac flakes. Have you used Rubio monocoat before?

No I haven't, iv just seen it on the net.

@JayceAllanGuitar Thank you. I appreciate the kind words!

Thanks! Im pretty happy with it. Appreciate the comment!

Thanks! Yeah it a PRS copy pretty much. I have always loved the PRS guitars, one day ill own a real one lol. Thanks for watching!!

@ Man look, I wish I had the talent you provided for the world to see here. Most are more concerned with failure while some of the best builders start out like you. You have certainly inspired me with the beautiful work of art you created here.😍😍😍

@@Dre-nr3je I hope you give it a go! Failing is the only way to learn and i assure you i fail at least once on every project i do haha.

I did use multiple of polyurethane, honestly i wasn't happy with the poly, ill probably due a true oil or nitro for the next finish. Appreciate your comment and view!

I finished some knife handles with truoil. You can get a glass-like finish, but you can scratch it with a fingernail

I really appreciate your comment! And yeah i lucked out with nice quilting. the staining with light sand backs each layer really helps build depth. I am thinking about potentially doing a guitar build and give away in the future so stay tuned! Thanks again for your kind words!

But I don’t think it’s a top, it looks thin as a veener.

@@JeanDo yeah Its a VERY thin veneer. not many kits have a solid top unless you are paying out a lot of $$$, the hard part with veneers is not sanding through haha.

@Patrick.B223 i definitely recommend them. The neck is really decent, and the body is solid. I would upgrade the hardware, but that's for any kit, really. Appreciate you watching and commenting!

@ivanlitvinov9917 Thank you Ivan!

@@mattiecreates what lacquer you use for body and neck on this guitar?

@@ivanlitvinov9917 I used a poly urethane but I really didnt like that. Next time im going to do a shellac or oil rubbed finish.

@@mattiecreates what's the reason?

@AndrewAHayes Thanks! Yeah I debated grain filling, what i actually did but didn't show was I used an 800 grit and wet sanded with the oil which acted as a natural grain filler. Tuners were garbage I put gold lockers on. Pick ups actually sound ok, I will uploadba video of me playing when I get compressfigured out, it would compress and cut the sound out bad lol. Overall it's pretty decent but I will upgrade the bridge and saddle to gold and grab some alinco pickups

Thank you! , I'm sure if you give it a go it would turn out great, With little bit of time and practice anything is possible. Thanks for watching!

@mattiecreates you got a good video rec so I know what to follow so it looks like yours? I'm super interested in doing one of these but in a yellow burst

@@kenjikodai A yellow burst would be really cool, hope you build it! One thing i didnt do which i would HIGHLY suggest is to spray a sanding sealer AFTER you are done your staining. I will show that process and slow it down alot more on the next build i do.

Great build just wish it was a bit slower so I could see the products you were using at various stages, inspires me to do one.

@@cjturner7477 The next one I will go a bit slower, With the attention spans today I tried to keep it moving quicker lol

Thanks Man!! 🤟

@Tinman1962-o5d Thank you. I appreciate that!

Thanks!

When it comes so Chavant and Monster clay they are both amazing at holding detail, once cooled you can use tools to get in and make the smallest of details. Thanks for watching :)

yes that works great but can get pricy haha! Thanks for watching

Hey thanks for watching. The leather has the acrylic finish on the outside but if you do nee to oil it you can oil it from the inside and it will absorb the oil. The acrylic finishes are removable it you want to take them off but I find they seal a lot better and give it a nice water proofing properties.

It was literally my first vids i ever made lol Thanks for your feed back

Thank you for the kind words! <3

yeah definitely. but honestly the medium is pretty firm. Hard is good if you want to do take away sculpting.

you wont be disappointed

Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. Soft and medium can be use for people with arthritis a lot easier. Also if you want to "quick sketch" and idea you can work the soft a lot faster. And to be honest its all personal preference . Hope the video helped.
