Awesome work! Maybe enlist a skilled guitarist to demonstrate the finished product?
A work of art. And a true artist. I want one.
Very nice!
Nice neck heal and really interesting fret markers!
That is a beautiful guitar! Nice work!
Stunning result, thank you for showing your process! 👍🛎
Epic !
Amazing job. You have talent.
Love the colour ❣️

Nice guitar.😲😲
What a beautiful guitar! Love it!
Seriously incredible work! He could easily sell me one!
Spettacolare!!!
Nova trem👍🤘
oddly satisfying
Somehow, I need to convince you to get a Sherline or similar CNC lathe, so you can produce your own tuners. The single, tubular, screw-style tuner, has been around for decades. There are many prints available for the three primary designs. The materials are inexpensive, the knowledge gained would be very valuable.
I do have some ideas for making my own, but to have them with good surface finish in an economical amount of time requires a pretty descent machine. I also have some ideas for making them on a mill exclusively that I might try at some point. If I'm just gonna make the same design then there is no point in not buying the existing ones (counting labor there is no way I'd make them cheaper DIY than buying them)
UA-cam really wants me to buy a CNC machine...stop tempting me!!! Great guitar man this is exactly what I'm looking to do
I am not a fan of headless guitars but your build is beautiful.
Beautiful. Congrats! I miss the chambering though.
This one is not chambered, but I could totally do that in the future. The body is also quite thin at 37.5mm, so even without chambering it is very light.
Love this build so much. Can I have this shipped here in Philippines? Haha.
Great build! Only one doubt: What did you put under the truss rod?
just some tape to make sure it doesn't raddle if it isn't tightened.
Beautiful! What is the name of that liquid he uses on the wood at 10:48 ?
This is the high build guitar finishing oil from crimson guitars
Is this a nova guitar bridge? How good are they? Is the tremolo arm very stable or a little bit wiggly like cheap strats?
Yes that's a Nova bridge. It depends on how tight you want the arm. If you like it to swing free there is some play, when you tighten it to stay in place it's almost gone. Otherwise I quite like it for the price. It can't quite compete with high-end models like the Sophia, but that one is at least twice as expensive.
What is the ballpark cost on something like that. Is it more or less than a basic j custom? About the same?
Since I'm still fairly new at this the price I quote at the moment for something like this would be around $2k.
@@DarkArtGuitarsdo you make baritones? As in 7 string baritone
@@jonsierra723Yea sure, on a custom build just about anything can be customized. Feel free to reach out on IG or to guitar@darkartguitars.com if you're interested.
what does that guitar weigh? I'll bet it feels VERY solid with that wood combination!
I didn't put it on a scale, but it feels quite light without feeling too light (to where it would feel cheap or not sturdy enough)
I would have thought Padauk would be very heavy, so I'm glad to hear it feels good!
@@DarkArtGuitars
@@ejclide In my experience Padauk is not any heavier than the ususal guitar woods. I'd say similar to ash, lighter than maple, heavier than sapele.
No one builds NECK-THRU's any more. Wonder why. Nice piece! Now I wanna see a few LEFTY custom builds!
I love neck-through guitars, if my CNC was just a bit larger I'd be building them, but I can't fit them on my machine. (that's why my neck joint is designed to be as close as possible to a neck-through while still being a set neck) I am totally open do doing lefties, just as soon as I get an order for one.
@@DarkArtGuitars COOL! I'll watch. STILL, your woodworking skills are phenomenal. Nice WOODS and GREAT SHOP too! Ever use any 'reclaimed' or old stuff? Thanx 4 reply.
Not yet, but I'd be open if the opportunity presents itself.@@allenmcdaniel1470
Where can I get one of these Strandberg knockoffs?
Hardly a knockoff, by that logic every superstrat is the same guitar. But in case the question was serious, check out darkartguitars.com
What do u call that carving machine?
It's a CNC router. This model is the RatRig Killerbee with a custom enclosure and some other modifications.
why rolled up tape under truss rod?
To make sure it doesn't rattle in case it is not tightened
Your guitar looks a very wicked and evil. Was it intentional?
Evil is my middle name :D
All kidding aside, my inspiration was a cross between a solar guitar and a starndberg.
@@DarkArtGuitars It would be fun to add a few small port holes along the body with a switch-activated pump in the cavity. After a venomous solo, you hit a pedal switch and gory blood oozes over the guitar's body. I think the guitar would need to be painted for more contrast.
A Kiesel Vader clone if i ever saw one, that said if your gonna copy copy from the best.
If this looks the same to you as a Kiesel Vader, then every superstrat must be the same and a straight clone of a strat.
why 1 month? cnc done almost ewerything. handwork that left is for 3 days max :(
Dumb comments are dumb.
Writing the g code could’ve taken a month, who knows.
I wish, the cnc cut out the rough shape, nothing that couldn't be done with a template and a handheld router. It's hard to show sanding and small detail work on camera but there is a lot that goes into making a high quality instrument. The 1 month does not even include all the 3d modelling and CAM. I'm not really using cnc to save time, more because it's fun and it means I don't need quite as many specialized tools.
Clueless comment from someone that’s probably never built a guitar.
@@bradswanson6788 built 10 already
That is one talented CnC machine. Maybe you should let it play the guitar for you.
He likely programmed the cnc machine. That way, he can build multiple identical guitars. I wouldn't consider it shear laziness.
@@lazzie7495 Programming the machine that builds the guitar is something 80 million people can do with little to no skill or talent. Modern cnc machines are so easy, a 9 year old child can build a world class guitar.
@@timhallas4275 uumm, citation needed
@@timhallas4275 then why don't you use a cnc? also a good wood worker cares more about the quality of his work than the way it was made.
I noticed he didn’t hand forge the bridge and that was a big disappointment. /s
I love the guitar but damn at least learn how to play it
holy crap if you only you focused on your terrible playing lol
Well, I don't claim to be a great player. You can buy one and show me how much better you are.
Solberg 😂💪🏻👌🏻
Everything is cool, but why did you paint it? You killed all the beauty of the texture!!!
There is no paint on this guitar, I only put oil on it to protect it. The color change is just from the wood absorbing the oil and showing it's true colors.
@@DarkArtGuitars It's clear ! Everything is fine with you!
Nice job!
