Necks: Pacific Teak, natural finish
Fretboard: Merbau

A few muck ups due to substitute parts when I couldn’t get what I designed for. Will make an amendment video in the future showing more. - Навчання та стиль
Genius how you imitated the side tape. Will never come off!
Thanks! I think it worked out alright - did a good job of covering up any ply grain too.
Can you please tell me what type of paint you used for the edges ie was it latex or rubberised or whatever thanks for the great videos
this was awesome! i love what you've done! amazing job, lad! amazing!
Thanks!
Another awesome video. Love seeing your builds come to life.
Thanks! - I’ll be more productive in 2022 than this year…or at least that’s the plan.
Beautifully done!
Thanks!
OMGoodness...these are fantastic. Thanks for the video.
Thanks!
Those are both so gorgeous. Incredible. 🤩
Thanks! - a few niggles to sort, but that’s a 2022 thing!
I really liked the bed liner idea instead of regular edge banding.
Thanks. I thought it had a good texture with no potential future lifting issues like the originals.
Thanks for your videos!!
Thanks for stopping by!
FANTASTIC!
Thanks
This is really cool. I have the plans for a Dano, but I got some good tips from watching you.
Thanks. Good luck on your build!
Nice!!!!!! I love both.
Thanks!
Great work! I'm planning a Dano style build myself soon, something more like the convertible.
Nice, sounds fun!
Incredible
Thanks!
beautiful!
Thanks!
Great Channel. Great builds. What more could you want? Thanks for your work.
Thanks for the nice comment!
Excellent video featuring superb craftsmanship! As I don't have the skill to construct one, my next purchase will be a Dano, probably a '59...
Thank you! - sounds like a nice next purchase - enjoy when you find it!
The Lumberjack
Jackyl
Composed: Jesse James Dupree
I was born in the backwoods
Of a two-bit nowhere town
Fathered up some rock 'n' roll (baby)
So you mothers could boogie down
I ain't whistling dixie
No I'm a rebel with a groove
All around the world the ygo 'round and 'round
When they dig on my new stainless steel sound Oh yeah
I'm said a lumberjack baby
And I'm gonna cut you down to size
I'm a lumberjack baby
And you're the one that gets my prize
And when you hear my motor running
You know I surely I suerly a be coppin' a rise
Oh! So I'm gonna crank it up and cut down is it
I'm a lumberjack now baby
I'm a lumberjack now baby
I'm a lumberjack now baby
I'm a lumberjack now baby
But I ain't jacked my lumber baby
Since my chainsaw you
Whether ya like it or whether you don't woo
That's the way we like it
clever way to fake the Tolex binding !!
Not quite the same, but it wont be lifting any time soon either!
tune it!
Yes!
Haha the intonation sounds a bit off at the end there and perhaps you should have used a vinyl strip for the white sides but all in all great job.
Yeah, new strings and sub par playing attempt! (and a bit more time on bridge setup) Vinyl stripe would have been more original/traditional - thought they don’t have the best track record of staying permanent. Really I just wanted to try an idea though. Thanks for watching!
Very good build and extremely authentic looking.How did you teach your dog to play a guitar? 🐕🐕🐕lol (only kidding)😂😂😂
Now there is an idea!... just need to acquire a dog! 😅. Building tends to win over learning to play - no illusions of musical stardom here haha (though I really should learn a few licks). Thanks for the nice comments!
14:14 Hey what have you used for this pickguard? I tried to search for the material used on the original Danelectros guitars, but I couldn't find anything. On UA-cam I've seen a video of a "replica" build, where the builder used masonite for the pickguard as well.
I'm pretty curious about this
Hi. My pick guards on these builds was a 3mm plywood. I wasn’t going for exact replica in my two. Not seen masonite thinner than 5mm in my neck of the woods - but it would work well - though give it a protective clear coat of something just for longevity. Thanks for dropping by & good luck!
@@MikeHawkeyThanks man, I'm gonna try your method on my project
@@mel_163 nice one, hope it goes well!
@@MikeHawkeyAlso I want to ask you, what type of paint did you use on this video?
@@mel_163 cant recall brand offhand, but both colour tins of spray were hardware store type, a couple of coats, we sanded down a little, left longer to dry and then water based satin clear poly finish.
Did you spray an orange primer for the green one?
I cant recall now if im honest. Possible I used for base sanding coat followed by grey over - i may have used whatever I had at home. However- if asked I would say use grey for all light colours.
@@MikeHawkey thank you. That's exactly the kind of a tip I was looking for as I have no previous experience of finishing a guitar
They look great but sound like cold dump.
Like ‘cold dump’ or ‘a cold dump’?. To be fair, they sound better in the hands of someone who can play (and once setup…). Thanks for stopping by!
Where can I find pdf plans for this model? 🙏🏻
I couldn't find any online myself. So I made my own. Based on photos, so visually close: www.dropbox.com/s/tw19enofm15mk5c/DEP%20PLAN.pdf?dl=0
@@MikeHawkey oh man! Thank you so much 🙏🏻
Where did you got the blueprint of the guitar ? Or did you made it ?
Hi there. Made them myself, but recall one is out there for purchase. Here we go- google the Dutch Luthier.
@@MikeHawkey thanks you 👍
I wanna do this but I want it to be a bass
Nice. Very doable, id add a couple of reinforcement lines in the internal framing and go ‘normal’(not slim) body width.
Where do I find plans
Hi. Have a scroll through the comments. I linked my basic ones there in a reply to someone.
Can I buy one of these from you?
Hi there. Sorry one went to a new owner and the other stuck with me, but thank you for the interest!
Not a fan of the scarf joint. Still very inspirational.
Thanks! Not had one go on me on a build yet, but can be a weak area if unlucky/too narrow/poorly joined.
Could I pay you to build a custom Dano Pro clone for me?
Hi, sorry - though I’d love to do so I just don’t have time to commit to jobs for anyone currently.
@@MikeHawkeyIt’s cool, thank you for replying. Great job on both the guitars and the video. I’m happy to hear that you’re busy, because you do fantastic work.
