      Please read
      The Bible is truth
      The problem is it’s not something you can figure out by 20. There’s serious inner work that has to be done, and can only be done by an adult. It’s not until we’re in our 20’s that the real temptation of sin really starts. You have to understand what resisting sin means for you personally. Then breaking down before Jesus Christ and asking for forgiveness means something different. Please trust me. It’s in our inner healing, forgiveness specifically, that the truth of God and the Bible are revealed. Jesus Christ taught that to be forgiven we must forgive. So few knew of it’s importance because there’s this widespread perception that everyone either knows by upbringing or friends etc. So few ever read the first book of either testament. Considering what’s at stake, shouldn’t you personally know what is really taught?
      Please read at least three books of the Bible. Genesis, Mathew, and one you chose yourself. Bible books are more like pamphlets in size, barely a chapter of Harry Potter. Please, see for yourself what I mean. Open your heart to forgiveness from the lord and give it to others.
      Jesus Christ is the way truth and life.

Schecter are already well known across the metal & hard rock subgenres so seeing a more "standard" Strat style guitar from them that could happily suit jazz, blues, country or any other style really will help to turn heads of some like myself who always pictures the stuff like the John Petrucci signature when they hear the name

      @@TheBanana93 I guess the fact that their guitars are manufactured in China, Vietnam and Indonesia means cheaper manufactoring.
      Not saying theres not exploitation but wages are different in other countries. Like making 50k a year is very very good for Europe but for USA its base. Their guitars are made in the USA so they need to up their price for the wages. Also probably way better QC and quality overall.
      Also HB is owned by Thomann who are a retailer, so they can sell their stuff without a third party seller, which effectively means they are reducing the price.
      Thats why every factory is based in China/Vietnam/Indonesia. Now if this factory is exploiting their workers, its another story(which it probably is).
      But if you get a schecter you know 100% no one is getting exploited. However not anyone can afford a $800 guitar, especially when they are starting new so unfortunately theres not much you can do.. Once I tried to find a thrifted one but they are either just plain bad guitars or there none available in my area (and also im lefthanded).

It really makes me appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into making an instrument. Also, seeing the full process is a great endorsement for a company and I wish the rest of the industry would show us their processes. What a ride that was! Shout-out to everyone who made this possible. Everything down to the editing was top notch.

      Please read
      The Bible is truth
      The problem is it’s not something you can figure out by 20. There’s serious inner work that has to be done, and can only be done by an adult. It’s not until we’re in our 20’s that the real temptation of sin really starts. You have to understand what resisting sin means for you personally. Then breaking down before Jesus Christ and asking for forgiveness means something different. Please trust me. It’s in our inner healing, forgiveness specifically, that the truth of God and the Bible are revealed. Jesus Christ taught that to be forgiven we must forgive. So few knew of it’s importance because there’s this widespread perception that everyone either knows by upbringing or friends etc. So few ever read the first book of either testament. Considering what’s at stake, shouldn’t you personally know what is really taught?
      Please read at least three books of the Bible. Genesis, Mathew, and one you chose yourself. Bible books are more like pamphlets in size, barely a chapter of Harry Potter. Please, see for yourself what I mean. Open your heart to forgiveness from the lord and give it to others.

Would I use a hand router shave out the bottom? Because its a hand router. No edges or surfaces can be made straight and level I assume. Is that right?

    I knew musical instruments require so much craftsmanship and experience, but this inside view of the process just make me appreciate it even more. Same with the classical guitar build, it's so much passionate hard work. The passion being perfection to such a tiny scale. It also makes me appreciate my guitar more!

    I have never watched a video this long on youtube before, and must say I enjoyed every minute of it. I am amazed how much work goes into making a guitar, and appreciate mine more now.

    I realized a few months ago I wanted to get into luthier work, and this video was a really interesting watch for me! Thank you for this. And it made me appreciate my schecter even more

    This is the first 2 hour UA-cam video I've ever watched. It was so interesting my fiance watched it with me. This was really cool!

    Crazy how much sanding is involved, especially between all the stages. This was awesome to witness.

    The mix on the drums is immaculate. Such an awesome kick sound.

    I always come back to this video, it actually made one of my good friends understand the high price point on a good electric guitar.

    Rob trying out an obscure instrument for the first time: 'How can this guy be so talented?"
    Rob trying to build an instrument: 'How does this guy still have all his fingers?" ;)))))))) Awesome video! And this comment is not meant in any negative way! Please keep up building stuff!!
