Rosewood fretboard / mother of pearl inlays
22 Stainless steel Jumbo frets
25.5" scale / 10" - 16" compound radius

3 positions switch
1 volume - 1 tone w/ push pull coil split
Vegatrem tremolo
Fender rollernut
Gotoh locking tuners

Custom builder here. this guy did a good job. A lack of expensive specialty tools forced him to make custom jigs to accomplish specific jobs. The jig for a comp radius was simple and effective. Good problem solving and critical thinking skills as well. A person needs to be Intuitive in this game in order to achieve quality. Not everyone has that. Keep building man.
Thanks a lot 🙏
This is one of the things that I hope to do one day! Right now I just don't have the tools, or the space but might try a Kit Guitar first...
@@72Z15SS most kits are super poor quality. So don’t expect it to be anything amazing. But building is one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done. It’s great. Get into it if you can. You may look into a makers space in your area if they have one. It’ll have most the tools you need.
The radius jig was smart.
+1 !!!
This for me, is the best video of a guitar built from scratch that I’ve ever seen!!! Everything about this video knocked my socks off. Fantastic craftsman, luthier, artist, designer,musician and much more…👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
And it ain't 45 minutes long.

I liked the fact that you accepted the mistake and turned it into a feature instead of feeling sad. Very nice work!🎉
oh he felt sad, unless he is that kid on the devils hour, Isaac... DOH!!!
The whole color scheme and characteristics are so tasteful… from the binding, to the pickups and hardware selection.
I love the planer mistake. Adds uniqueness and depth to the guitar.
Absolutely phenomenal build. The detail that went into the neck pocket, the tremolo, the pick up cavities, the pick ups, the neck and the body... it's insane!
I absolutely love how it sounds too. Freaking amazing tone!
Any chance it's up.for sale???
@@CallMeBigWorm Да! Интересно, за сколько денег?
Beautiful job! And a huge respect for your adaptability and your crafting tips!
Huge respect for this dude not only did he make a fantastic guitar but he plays guitar as well as his luthiery 👍

brilliant - enough info to see how you worked through the build and all the jigs and techniques you used without ever getting bogged down and the result is just beautiful - thanks for taking the time and effort to record your build and share it with us. I particularly liked your trem stop idea

You sir, are an artist. A labor of love.
Great job! Seeing the custom built jigs was awesome.
beautiful time lapse video
That is so gorgeous!!
Its a work of art. Amazing. Simply gorgeous.
I enjoyed every moment of this. Thanks for sharing.
I can easily say I love everything about the video, the process and the final result.
Amazing work. Loved seeing how you worked through unexpected issues (upper horn, in particular; adding the lines as a graphic flourish to cover the seam line was very clever).
And I'm FLOORED by the recessed vibrato system - that is SO cool.
Awesome ! Made my Day ! Congratulations !
a labor of love...great job
Looks awesome and sounds great. I particularly like the binding and body colour. It looks like one of a kind and it is!

Rock n Roll, man!
Splendiferous job, man!!! It turned out to be a beautiful and versatile instrument. I would proudly play and exhibit that guitar. Kudos, and don't stop building. You have the gift, my friend.
Love the trem lock. that's a really interesting idea and well executed.
Very impressive with the build, tone and playing.
Bravo dude... Beautiful Construction focused in things that matter a lot... locking tuners, dual humbackers, bridge with locking option! Really meant for the player. The best I saw in 2022
What a beautiful guitar. Well done! I'm so jealous!!!!
Beautiful & totally original. Love the back of the neck, love the trem stop, love the opposing fret dots locations, love the coil split (best pickup combo ever). Incredible & now I know what I want to do in retirement 🤘🏼
A Masterpiece Instrument
Wow! Wow! Wow! Its beautiful!
Real nice work and a stunning result.
Such a modern take on a strat! I like it.
You are great! The gitar is beautiful and super!
Looks and sounds amazing.
Thanks for the video! The guitar looks and sounds amazing.
Awesome guitar build! I love how you solved the problem with the bindings after you ran it through the planer. I started building a guitar with hand tools some years ago and it is still halfway finished in my shed. This inspires me to continue building. Great work! And a very versatile guitar too! So many different tones, from Pantera to Cyndi Lauper!
Awesome! A beautiful guitar, great build video and awesome playing with spot on timing! Congratulations!
Congratulations. Perfect 👏👏👏👏👏
great job done on the guitar. I praise the whole process of building and customizing it, success on your channel!
Amazing buliding idea and techniques. Very helpfull for my project.
Amazing guitar! I love the way you "stitched" together the part of the body that chipped off at the start
Great job, man. Loved all the jigs you came up with!
And amazing playing too!
Actually can't tell what's more impressive, creating or playing skills of this young man👏👏👏👏🤚👏
realy beautiful work
Great build! Loved seeing all the jigs and clever problem solving. Thank you for leaving in the mistakes! It's encouraging to know that I'm not the only one that screws things up-and that it can be fixed.
Also, excellent playing!
Wow! what a great job in this guitar, excellent!!! congratulations!!!!
that fingerboard radius jig IS FREAKING GENIUS OMG
Very impressive, looks and sounds great.
Nice to see you enjoy your efforts at the end! In my eyes , your the “Great Guitar Build off” Champion of 2022! Perseverance, oops’ s , problem solving,Tremendous ! Thanks for Sharing , a total joy!
Great build, great playing!! Awesome job.
The way you created and positioned that neck rout template is absolute genius!!!!!!!!
That solution is very cool and creative, I have never seen that before.
The guitar was awesome, and guitar playing was even better, nice range of tunes!! Kudos
Beautiful and inspiring
It's a beautiful guitar. You did a great job recovering from the set-backs.
Amazing.very beautiful
Its good to see a builder who can actually play the guitar well. Ive seen so many who build and they cant play for nothing. How can you build a good guitar but dont know from experience how its supposed to feel?
The quickly moving edits are kinda funny, the transition from showcase was legendary, and the playing with different varieties of genres is legendary.
Good work. Gorgeous guitar.
That's really nice. Love the way it turned out. Planning on building my first before long. Thanks.
Production values through the roof! awesome built. the diligence and craftsmanship is unreal ;p
This is inspiring! Excellent job!
Nice work.Thanks for the video.
Wow!! amazing build. Trem stop to alt tunings this machine does it all!! beautiful! congrats man!!
What a beautiful guitar you have made.
That was so satisfying to watch. Great, great job.
Absolutely Beautiful....and the guitar sounds awesome too...well done
Brilliant guitar!
Very well done! Just amazing. Your playing is good too. It looks and sounds just as good as any other guitar out there. Great job!
I like the way you got your trim in the back of the guitar really cool
Awesome build and superb playing! Great job!
