LOL! "...and a couple of pencils cause you're probably gonna lose one."
That is 100% true.
This guy is a natural instructor. He needs a TV show on cable.
ROCK ON MY BROTHER!!! YOU DON'T NEED AN EXPENSIVE POWER TOOLD EQUIPMENT JUST USING SOME POWER TOOLS!!!!!🎉🎉🎉
This was a spectacular video on how to build a guitar with minimal tools. I'm impressed... I think I'm going to try and make one myself. Thank you so much.
I love it man I love that you're using basic tools that everybody could Get at Lowe's or home depot
Just finished building my first guitar! My friend had run over his acoustic guitar and gave it to me so I fixed the cracked headstock and converted the acoustic neck to be used in an electric guitar. I built the body out of some boards that came from a carport recently taken down where I live. Everything is surprisingly straight and it sounds great with the Wilkinson mini humbuckers. It wasn’t the prettiest thing but I decided to weather it to embrace the defects. Love that guitar and will build another soon with intentions of making it nicer. Thanks for your video. Nice and inspiring!
Thanks for doing a good ‘how to’ video. It’s fun to see the steps! Ready for the neck profile video now. Lol.
Hold on just a dang minute that fret board doesn’t say Bobby Steele that’s enough flip flappin’ let’s make it happen 😂
Beautiful guitar. Well done.
Scarred 4 life! 🤘🏽
You are a very talented wood worker.
Sean, the real time was actually very helpful, and you did make it look simple. Looking forward to part 2.
Outstanding!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
❤ thank you that was 40:00 min so cool I'm a 65 yrs man bedridden i like your show so much this was great i set up my own guitars ❤ John C
Shawn, that lovely piece of timber was good for two nice neck blanks. Gotta love Maple. Always enjoy your videos.
What a fantastic video this is; an immensely watchable combination of skill, experience, encouragement and unpretentious teaching, coupled with good camera work, good audio and good editing. Anyone who teaches or produces tutorials could learn a lot from watching this.
You had an enthusiastic Thumbs Up by the 1:40 mark just for the pep talk. Gonna un-pause and watch the rest now! :D
Hell Yeah, To me this getting it done gotta say this has been one of the most straight forward ways to build a guitar from scratch!!!
Sean, with this video you have convinced me that I could make a guitar with the tools that I have. Thank you very much... I have all the tools you mentioned I just need a template.
when i built my first one, It was a plywood sandwich, and i cut all the cavities with a scroll saw before i glued them together. the first solid wood body, i had forstner bits, a palm/trim router, and chisels. The first few fretboards, i slotted by hand with a dovetail saw, and i carved the first few necks with an old antiques draw knife that my dad had, using a rasp and sandpaper to finish the carve. and yeah like you said, the first few were atrocious instruments, but technically they were playable.
Nice to see you in the garage again. Bring on part 2 please!
Thanks, Shawn. Great video 🎸

I work on my own guitars, and I’ve done kits/partcasters. I learned a lot from this video that I’ll use when I build my own guitar. Thanks for this.
WOW A caveman did it!
Great video Sean
Keep on rockin'
I would like to see more bass content. I love the no-nonsense content. Thanks
This is great.
I started building kits in 2020 during Covid lockdown.
Been doing it as a hobby ever since. Love it.
Yeah, mostly they're crap, but they're gradually getting better.
Just finished a 'GunsNGuitars' Behemoth Bass kit. It's still got plenty of matchsticks and filler in it from my rookie mistakes, but I've learned so much.
Keep making your videos. Great viewing.
Hey man. Long time fan of the show. Your the reason I actually started my first build and i failed horribly haha..
But I wanted to ask you if you might be interested in making me a custom guitar? If not not no hard feelings, I understand your busy with everyday life and your show. Let me know!
Message me on facebook, Instagram, or my email under the business section here on youtube. I don't use telegram lol
I have all the right equipment. My first build was a Dean ML. I bought the templates and 2 slabs of mahogany and got at it.. i should have started with hardtail..i will hit you up brother@scarmyguitar
Right on brother, good video. Thanks man 😎👍👋👋🎸🎸
This is the video I've been hoping for! Made me so anxious with the routing after removing the template and not clamping the body down! I say that because I screwed up a body doing it like that. I made it through the whole video, but you had me squirming in my chair!!! 😅 Awesome work man! 👍
Looking forward to part two. Great video.
Hey man great videos and keep it up. Im a 56 year old newbie guitar player and like working on them as much as learing to play. Decided the drums was getting boring and try something new. I bought a cheap Glarry with humbuckers. They were terrible so i took copper tape and wrapped starting where the wire comes out and around and cut at wire. I cut a peice of wax paper the size of the bottom if pickup and then folded like a xmas package over. It stopped the microphonic sound and made it better i think. I would like you to try that cause im just a newbie ex engineer hillbilly that dont know but to try something. I've seen where people dip in wax but that looks messy. So give it a try sometime a lets see if my Hillbilly method works. ✌️
That was outstanding. Wish I would’ve found this sooner.
Awesome work brother! Can’t wait to see more!
Da best things in life ARE SIMPLE! KISS!Keep It Simple Stoopid!
I love that CNC machine you got there. I need to finish building mine. I still need a few linear bearings and the motors & electronics. Then just have to figure everything out & build it.
cool tip, put masking tape on both sides of your template and then put super glue on the tape. holds great comes off clean. Ben at Crimson guitars does it for everything.
Sean have you ever wanted to build a Bass Guitar. I'd love to see you build one. Love you and Cathy's stuff building and fixing up cheap guitars. God Bless you both and all your friends in Jesus Name.
WOW, I have learned so much watching this! Thanks
Dude, it's a very good video
I'm glad you like it
Great Video, filming and excellent explanations! I hope I have all my fingers after I finish my first guitar.
Awww man that was fun ot see. I love your work my mate. bustin for part to now and to hear them pickups.
That was simply great!
Need part two sean, please sir. Almost had me committed 😂
But an ignorant person like myself is asking you tube search all kinds of questions.
How big for pick-up slots
Flush mount pick-ups
Pick-up rings
Where to buy hardware and supplies. Pot 250k-500k
Scale length for number of fret vs different types of bridges
Angled necks
Control cavities from front with pick guard vs access from back/ depth for pots.
Pot wiring, caps, volume, switches, coil splitting, through body necks vs bolt on with cavities
Wood types and finishes.
Its exhausting but addictive.
Great tips! I am building a guitar for a friend from parts that I have laying around. We are having good weather here in Georgia, so its time to shape the neck outside. Great video, man.
Everyone should learn the "ins and outs" of guitars, so you can work on your own guitars and save some $$$. Fixing your own guitars is fun too.
Finger that glue baby, finger that glue! Can't wait for the next one. Good job. \m/
Great video excited to see part 2 😉
Home Depot Pine!!
Where is part two at?
Underdeez.....lol I'm workin on it.
Great Video...Great for us beginning luthiers ..
very good, thanks.
The router works way better to cut out the neck than an unstable jigsaw! Use multiple passes wit a straight cutting bearing bit and it's perfect and easy!
I ruined an acrylic template with a jigsaw slip! Now I make a ⅜" pass with a flush pattern bit, remove the template and use that ⅜" cut for my guide to finish.
@@photojeffd u betcha!
Would love to see the second part to this build if you ended up recording it 👍
Part 2 is right here: ua-cam.com/video/lYhnznZ6sSg/v-deo.html
It's not specifically marked as part two, but he shows how to radius the fret board he just put together in this video, which is what he said would be in part two.
Thank you.
Love your channel. I've played guitar for years and I play well but I'm getting ready to take on learning the harmonica. I ain't going to lie, I'm a little nervous. I hear it's tough. But I love the sound of a good blues harmonica player.
Ryobi be like free ad plugs always welcome. lol
You The Man Bro
I always keep my respirator mask in a Tupperware container for that very reason.
Hey Sean you rock
Thank you! Now I just need to watch this a couple more times.
This is cool and only minimal flip flapping 😊
I’m new to your channel, but I much prefer your guitar making videos over cheap guitar reviews. I really want my next guitar to be my own built.
Cool, thanks!
great video bud!
Omg that’s so cool. Thanks again for your content, you are such an inspiration.
You are so welcome!
Hi, my guitar took longer, with only minimal tools, took a while to heat up the wood sticks to get soldering done.
Good video. Love it.
Good to be back in the shop making dust!
Sean, do you buy, or make your body templates, and what is the material?
Where’s the rest of the build?
Sean, where did you get the template for the body you made? I really like that. I rescrubbed the video, but I missed it if you said where that came from. Or is it a custom original?
custom original
Looks like a mix of an original fender starcaster with telecaster to me.
Love your videos Sean.
Hey great video!!! Looking to get in to building guitars. Is there any way you can write a list of the wood?
Great video looking forward to seeing it finished.
Thank you! Great learning experience!
The maple fret board link is the link for the router bit set woops.
Hey Sean! I actually think it's cool that you're building one from scratch. I was wondering if I had enough tools to try it myself, & I've got more than what you're using here. So that's a big fat yeah! Thanks for the nudge! Always look forward to your vids man!
Is that a small CNC behind you at the end of the video.
yep
It does matter if enough glue gets on the truss rod. It can interfere with the function.
🤘🔥🔥🤘
🔥🔥🔥🤘🏼
There is no part 2.
ANd then at 38:10 I'm Thinking Hey this Guy is a Pook Player too with that Hand Bridge
Where did you get your templates from?
I make my own
hey that's a pine body
Awesome. What a great video
😮 thanks for this your great .been wondering how to use a router
Great nice 👍 thank you 😊
Be @6:06 to use a biscuit cutter an glue in a biscuit for added strength..
I use a lot of your techniques
"ya will screw things up 'til the day ya die"
well aint that the truth
That's some wisdom right there!
Metal drills suck in wood, huh?
How thick is your body blank?
Sweet!!
Excellent and scary video. Hope you get some views!
Is there a part 2, I can’t find it

Hold on a dang minute Sean. You should be charging for tutoring all of us how to build guitars. Many thanks, I just finished my first and it plays pretty well and I'm afraid I'm gonna have to build another one now. My question is do you always use parts bought from Amazon or ebay or are more expensive parts going to make a better guitar?
YES! Finally back to actual guitar building p0rn! Also, no wonder you got spiders in your mask. Too much time spent reviewing guitars instead of building them. ;-) Also also, maple must be dirt cheap over there. A piece that big would cost me so much over here I would build as many necks from it as I could.
