Making an Acoustic Guitar - Super Fast

  • Last summer I made an acoustic guitar, my first one. I made the guitar from a bunch of free and scrap wood I already had so I did not have to spend a lot of money on something I would mess up for sure. I made a long, not sped up video of the whole process at the time. Now I condensed my entire guitar making video from a whopping 45 minutes to a short and sweet 6 minutes of acoustic guitar making goodness.

    I’m not a luthier. But I could complete my first ever violin 🎻 project. Without people like you on UA-cam it wouldn’t be possible. Now I’m thinking about making a guitar 🎸. Good tutorial. ❤️💙

    I’m surprised at how simple this looks. Don’t get me wrong, making a good sounding instrument is really hard but the process of making a guitar (not taking quality into consideration) seems quite simple. No special tools needed, just time and some elbow grease. I might give it a shot sometime. Seems like a fun holiday project.

    • @deepfreeze202
      @deepfreeze202 Рік тому

      There are some specialized tools that are highly beneficial if not outright neccessary, really depends if you intend to build more than one or two. It also depends whether you intend to use prefabricated parts which can eliminate the need for otherwise indespensible tools.

    • @TaylorTheOtter
      @TaylorTheOtter Рік тому

      @@deepfreeze202 not that specialized. I have all of them or have the tools to make them. Toolmaking is honestly one of my favorite things to do. Then again, a lot has changed since I wrote that four years ago and I'm now a piano technician so while not the same as guitar building, the skillset necessary is very similar.

    great video. I actually watched it at 2x speed (which is standard to me, I always watch videos at 2x speed).. at some point I found it too fast and as I changed it to 1x I was happy to see that you would still working fast lol.
    very nice shots/takes choice, you managed to display the whole process without being boring. new sub here.
    EDIT: Ah, and if you're inspired by Diresta, you should put your name on a lot more tools and stuff ;)

      Haha I know this video is brutally fast, it's just the 45 minute video cramed into a 6 minute video! Can't watch it more than a few seconds myself to be honest. And of course, who isn't inspired by Diresta ?! ;) Thanks for watching!

    The playing at the end is my favorite part, sounds like galaga or millipede.

    Do you have the plans, measurements, materials, etc? I read this was made out of wood you already had, but, do you barely know which tree was it from? Where can I see the long version?

      In the long video you can hear the normal sound
