Episode 19: Bolt That Baby On!
Installing the machine screw sockets into the back of the neck. This resulted in one of the most challenging problems I've had to confront in building this guitar. A socket didn't fit exactly right and it jammed, causing some head scratching, consternation, and work with a cut off grinder to remedy!

I do the final fitting on the neck joint, which needed a bit of work to get right... so far. #partscaster #guitarbuilding #amateurluthier #telecaster #hobbyguitar
Episode 17: Cutting the Neck Joint
Переглядів 9214 днів тому
Cutting the neck pocket into the body and test fitting the neck. This was a really nerve-wracking operation! I routed out the pocket and got a pretty good fit. It's so gratifying to see the guitar together for the first time where you can really see the shape and weight of the full instrument. #partscaster #guitarbuilding #amateurluthier #telecaster #hobbyguitar
Episode 16: Neck Unboxing!
Переглядів 41814 днів тому
The neck has arrived! It's gorgeous. I ordered this neck from Warmoth Custom Guitars and Bass Parts (no sponsorship...I paid fully for this LOL) and I had high expectations given their reputation. This exceeds them so far. I hope it plays as good as it looks and feels. I run through the specifications for this custom neck build. #partscaster #guitarbuilding #amateurluthier #telecaster #hobbyguitar

Episode 14: Binding, Part 2

Glue in the top binding and then scrape it all clean and level. The body is bound! I'm sorry about the fan noise in some of the takes. It was hot in the shop and I didn't turn off the fan. Especially in the last one. My bad! #partscaster #guitarbuilding #amateurluthier #telecaster #hobbyguitar

Almost all the focus so far in this series has been on creating the guitar body from raw wood. Here, I'm taking a step back to walk through an overview of my choices for all the other components that go into a working telecaster. #partscaster #guitarbuilding #amateurluthier #telecaster #hobbyguitar

Episode 07: Glue Up Issue!

Have to confront one of the first notable problems I've run into during the build of this guitar. An issue with a potential glue joint gap that requires a lot more finagling that anticipated! #partscaster #guitarbuilding #amateurluthier #telecaster #hobbyguitar

Back to some more interesting activity after last episode of calibrating machinery. In Episode 5, all the final decisions on the body, alignment of grain patterns, and the last of cutting body material to size for glue up. #partscaster #guitarbuilding #amateurluthier #telecaster #hobbyguitar
I just found this after months of research of my own, im excited to be here watching. I currently am in school for firearms manufacturing, but have been learning guitar for about 6 months. And in my guitar journey have gotten the itch to build guitars hopefully well, and eventually as a factor of my business so happy to have found these videos i have subscribed and given you a like good sir!
nice painting! ;)
Gee! I wonder who this could be!?! LOL
Thank you for this video!!!!!!!!!!ive been working on calibrating everything in my shop from my squares,miter saw,table Saw,bandsaw etc.very informative
All caught up. Can't wait for the next instalment. For a first time builder you are doing some nice work. It is always a good idea to make your own template from the set you bought. This way if something goes wrong, you have the master set that is undamaged. You might want to do some research about which Titebond to use. Original is typically used in guitar building. Titebond II is waterproof and much more difficult to get apart once it is set. Keep up the great work.
Meow!
Stick with it!
You came, you sawed, you conquered!
Whence the inspiration for this ambitious plan, lieber Bruder... Hendrix in flames? A categorical imperative from Manny Kant? G. Washington and a certain Virginia cherry tree? I'm staying tuned!
