I know this is an old video but Chris what’s your thoughts on intonation while holding it as if you were playing it I’ve always heard to set intonation as if you were actually playing the guitar and don’t lay it flat on its back do you think either way works ? Or do you think it don’t make much difference ?

Your videos are always so good.

I just found your channel a few weeks ago, and I must say a love your videos and commentary. IMO, the best youtuber on here, mate.

Came across your vids on my home page and thankful I did I love your videos. I know this one is old but figured I’d throw you a shout out and leave a comment

15:01 that scraper sound 🔥

Chris I’ll be praying for a complete restoration of your health. You are a blessing to all of us. Get well and carry on.

NICE!

Hi Chris. I was wondering if you have made or know of anyone home building a ‘neckthru’ design before?

Amazing!

Very inspirational! Look forward to seeing further 'Escape to the Strateau' adventures 🙂

Hi Chris. What’s the company you mentioned where you can buy those flawed bodies?

Chris, we recently had a hurricane run course through Houston earlier this month. Unfortunately it forced us to remove our largest pine tree. I kept two huge chunks of the base of the trunk to cut into slabs and eventually make into a guitar. Wish I could pick your brain on things but I think I’ve got a few years to wait yet.

I’m glad that the algorithm brought your video to my attention. Being a parts caster tinkerer myself I enjoyed your videos immensely. Got some good tips and advice. Thanks. Keep ‘em coming.

I heard about a sweet smelling wood called Sassafrass used for building boats and furniture. I think some of the 1st Fender Stratocasters had their bodies shaped from this Sassafrass, I hope some-one donates a piece so you might consider building a Guitar with it. Great viddy, thanks.

No small undertaking but what a dream home that will be. Looking forward to the next video Chris

what a great looking guitar! really well done

Superb tutorial , you're a natural teacher Chris... very educational as I'm building a partscaster tele

Very nice kitchen .😁

Can't wait for more build vids. Congrats on the move. I recently moved to a French speaking part of the world as well (Montreal) and have been inspired - in part by your videos - to take some of my cheaper guitars and customize them. Boring cherry Epiphone SG soon to become something more eye-catching.

Superb update Chris and Ella! I enjoy these updates so please keep them coming when you can. Funny thing is I think your twin brother is also making a video series as this cropped into my feed by these algorithm thingy ma jigs. Looks just like you and also had a flood…entitled “ Disaster Part 2 (deux for you Chris now you are en francais) - you should check it out ! Best of luck with the renovations !

Wonderful update sir! I could literally watch you do this type of video all day long! So exciting for you all! Also, thanks for the shop tour! I enjoy seeing the transformation and I am sure that you will appreciate the documentation many years down the road. Also, while you were demolishing the sink, I was like, "Oh please tell me he has hearing protection on!" (I am an audiologist by training), and score one for the home team, you DID! Good on you sir! Congratulations and taste all the wines!

This is a fantastic series for a guitar enthusiast like myself. I definitely would like to do my own build someday. I’m curious what are the dimensions of your work shop and do you find it to be adequate or wish you had more space?

Hi there ! Hopefully you will be done in the next year! 😄 It will be an amazing house and workshop for sure. All the best from Montreal

Try this trick and spin it…. Bravo… beautiful build

Sounds great!! Very unique!!

Saumur is lovely! Start another channel all about your French adventure!

Love your guitar building videos! Super helpful, funny and easy to follow.

G'day Chris, It's good to see you online again. I'm still looking forward to the next Strat build video, but enjoying your adventure videos. Keep up the good work. Andrew

Wow. This is great. What a surprise. I was looking for you latest video just yesterday. Very nice. Thank you.

It’s great you’ve managed to find the time to put together this update when you are so busy with all the renovation work - and drinking . . . The Olympic Torch procession was a particular highlight of the video. I thing your videography and commentary beautifully captured the excitement and pageantry of the event; it was just like being there myself 😂

Thank you very much for this series! You've created the ultimate template for what I want to achieve in my relicing journey. Your final result is amazing!

Disorganized workshop with stuff in boxes and nothing in the right place? Sounds like mine, and I haven't moved!

Heureux de te revoir Chris en pleine forme. 🎸🎶🍷

great update vid

Im glad you looks happy 👌🥂

Wow I built one myself

Hey Chris have ever thought of using a bit of trickery while aging. After you have aged all your bridge parts remove one if the saddle and screw and spring with a scuffed up slightly one so it looks like it failed and needed to be replaced? I think it looks good

On my relic jobs, I actually tape some 400-600 grit sandpaper (whatever I have on hand that's not too course) and play air guitar with the sandpaper taped to my forearm where it normally hits the guitar. After about 30 minutes or so playing in all the positions and angles I tend to play in, I have my arm relic'ing area. Do the same thing to mimic a guitar stand and also a wall hanger...... you get the picture. And of course knocking off the finish on the surface to just a matt aged look (a lot of work within itself). Then coloring it appropiately, etc... etc... My method has fooled even the most trained expert eyeballs out there. Guess I shouldn't tell all my secrets, but I love to see people succeed in their quest. Great build right here though. Personally, I would have kept it looking like a brand new guitar instead of any relic. Absolutely one beautiful piece you've made never-the-less!

congratulations on your new house! here in the US we put pigeon shit on little rolls and call it an everything bagel. but we weren't smart enough to build a whole tower on our house for it

amazing place man

Given that both the Strat and Tele were built with simplicity and modulation in mind when designing them, you’d think more people would actually embrace partscasters.

Your guitars are wonderful, but your amplifier Sucks!

As soon as he said, "There's no such thing as too many clamps" I stopped watching.... ... and went to go buy more clamps.

I dare say you’ve already had someone comment on this but the bridge plate is dull and shiney because Leo realised he could save a couple of bucks by not shining up the bit no one saw under the ashtray cover

Poor Brando, probably took it upon himself to look for the way back home to London since you guys weren't doing anything about being lost in France.

The videos in this project are so informative and inspiring to watch. You just might be my new favourite luthier!

Where are you buy ash body? Link please 🙏
