Good lord, look at that shine. Blinding! Beautiful work!

Only just found your channel and am enjoying watching from the earliest videos.The content is perfect and your guitars look and sound beautiful. It's particularly interesting to see you work without a band saw and table router, which I don't have space or budget for. I spent a week at Crimson building a Tele and am hoping I have just enough equipment to build a Tele-inspired guitar at home.I think I'll be rewartching your videos a few times as I go 😊

As a near novice guitar builder, I really appreciate the advice and being able to see the build process using affordable tools. The guitar is stunning too!

That's good advice thanks

Made this Mod to my AC10. Good job on mentioning to use speaker cable and not instrument cable. This is really important.

What a satisfying video (apart of course from the heartbreaking water damage on the olive tele body…😖😖 - would have been great to see that instrument under finish!) Really useful to hear your dimensioning for the neck/fretboard - I was wondering how you catered for not having a headstock break angle! Cheers 😊🥰🥰🍷🍷🎸🎸

I stumbled across your channel a couple of weeks ago (your reimagined Les Paul…!) What a relaxed, good-humoured and informative presentation style you embody and what elegant stylish instruments you create! Thanks for your video output, I most certainly will be watching! 🍷🍷🥰🥰🎸🎸

Good job! Just a question. Is the same binding strip type used on the body than the one used for the fretboard? Regards!

This video is very well produced. No distraction, very good transition. Loved it.

I have carved quite a few necks and yesterday I gave your facet method a try....brilliant. Takes a bit longer but the result was so worth it. Thank you for sharing this.

Hi, just recently discovered your channel and enjoying it immensely. Beautiful guitar - I love the rosewood/olive wood combo. Your video narration is brilliant...you missed your calling...you should be also narrating BBC documentaries 😊

VERY NICE WORK, THE GUITAR IS LOOKING LIKE AN INSTANT CLASSIC !!! NEW SUB FOR YOU...THUMBS UP BROTHER !

Absolutely love everything you’ve done so far Gio ❤️ The fret board, body shape, body carving & can’t wait till see colour on the guitar 🧐❤️ I’m a big Slash fan, what are the specs on his Les Paul? Ratio Frets Pick ups Neck radius’s Humbuckers positions?

I'm gonna be "that guy", so sorry in advance. Scale legth does not have the affect on sound that you think it does. There is a reason that the bass instruments like a Bass, double Bass, extended range guitars, etc, have longer scale lengths. The reason 24.25 scale sounds warmer compared to a 25.5 scale is purely to do with relative hand placement - the equivalent to picking either nearer the centre of the neck or nearer the pickups. A shorter scale will have the passive effect of your hand naturally being closer to the neck - thus a warmer tone. There is nothing inherantly "warmer" about a shorter scale. Correctly learning differnt picking hand placement will yeald any tone you wish to achieve. Bang on about the pick up placement though.

I have never seen a video with your carving method or level of detail. I have learned so much. Thank you!

Great video

Great video

Do you include the fretboard when measuring your halfway points for the facets?

Great series! Awesome looking guitar!

Beautiful finish, and the guitar is lovely also. Does this lacquer work over stain well?

That this guitar was designed by a non player is just as remarkable as the design itself.

Where is your respirator?

Great video Gio!! Love, love the wood you chose for this great project. Can’t wait to see it finished🎉🎉

Finally manage ti watch the video! Super nice design. It really look like a les Paul, but with a modern spin. Love It! Also very interesting discussion overall!

Such a beautiful guitar! You nailed the shape and the headstock design!

Wonderful video!!

Awesome, looks fantastic

I always end up with a little too much on the shoulders. I am gonna try your method of sanding straight down and see if that helps on the current neck I am building.

Thanks so much. This is just what I needed to see. Sweet workshop you have too. Btw, where in Italy do they speak such excellent English?

Aside from skills which most have and develop, you have a peaceful voice and smiling face!! So calm and relaxing to watch your videos!!!

Excellent presentation and thanks for sharing.

I'm not into the music field actually but I got stuck to your explanatory video here as you talk and work as if it's the most natural thing you could possibly do; you make every step looking like smooth and easy when it's the opposit. Wow, astonished !!!!

Enjoying this series going back and forth between your two channels. Really great looking guitars, both of you!

I love the shape you came up with. Looks awesome. I also enjoyed hearing your thoughts.

In my honest opinion, the one major flaw in the original design of the Les Paul is the way the strings splay-out over the nut, with the splaying of the D and G strings being the worst offenders, making it very hard to keep those strings in tune, the other flaw in the design is the bridge itself, I have found that every guitar I have owned that's based on the Les Paul or SG, the bridge itself never has enough adjustment range on the A and D string saddles, and those two saddles always end up hard up against the bridge pickup side of the bridge, I've always had problems with getting the intonation set right on Gibson style guitars, it's about time someone re-designed the Les Paul to address the flaws in the original design.

dang that thing is pretty already!

Nice one, but is more like a Springer a Jvguitars à Soultool design from today, than a lespaul. It’s nice. Like it.

Well said, Gio and your attention to detail is exquisite. Love your version of the "Tele."

No need to "re-imagine" No need to mess with success!

That’s one sexy axe. I see where to your eyes, you think SG. But it totally gives me Malcom Young Gretsch vibes given a nice refresh.

Congratulation, you made a beautiful version of this one-man well too mass produce Springer Guitar. You should contact your fellow luthier colleague to let him know that you redesign his work.

Hello, great video and pictures for understanding this process. I have one question on tapering the neck - what should be the minimum reliable distance between the bottom of the truss rod tunnel and the bettom edge of the neck? I wonder how much could I taper the neck towards the head. The truss rod I use has an allen key hole on the head side and it gets taller and goes more downwards than the truss rod itself, so the bottom of the tunnel there (at the headstock) is even deeper. If the neck here should be the thinnest here, this question becomes crucial. Any thought? If 5 mm is ok I could manage tapering it.

Awesome Gio, love the design and the wood choice is top drawer as usual!

Well done. The quality of the design hits you immediately. The hours it takes, on paper, to get the whole design to work is always underestimated. Again, well done

Good god you have a video for everything. Maaaaaaaany many many many questions answered with this.

The grain pattern on the fretboard is stunning. Absolutely beautiful. And the shape of the body is really perfect. Fantastic work.

I love the design!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

It would be better to just call it by your unique name if you had come up with one. Riding on Lester is a cheap shot. Closer to Paul Reed Smith anyway. The appreciation you would get from me would be on a whole different - higher - level without you trying to link it to Les Paul.

Man, I am currently learning to build guitars and your love for this really made my day, just that little smile that you got when talking about carving and shaping the body is exactly the way I'm feeling right now, even though I'm just at the beginning of the journey, you got a new subscriber in me :)
