I dont like plastics on my guitars, on some models I have removed them and cut and carved wooden replacements, and even got a few commissions when other musicians saw my upgrades to my guitars. Upto press I have only assembled and finished guitars from kits although I do plan to build one as soon as the wood I milled has dried correctly. I loved your wooden binding, I would love to have a go at removing the binding from some of my guitars and replacing it with highly figured wooden binding. Did you cut the binding for this guitar yourself? I also loved the green resin you used on the headstock art, it looks like some malachite that I bought from India while I was travelling there, I intend to use this for inlays on a fretboard. I am planning to attend an 8 week course at Crimson Custom Guitars Luthiary School as soon as I can come up with some guitar designs that incorporate some advanced techniques that I would like to learn. I loved watching your build and love your design, I also had a look at your friends website, wow! there are some things on those guitars I have never seen before. Good look to you both in the future! +1 Subscriber
Superb guitar, I love it!! Now make a single humbucker version 😁😁 Nice video too, subscribed! Looking forward to watching your stuff. Also your mistake correction on the fretboard was awesome 😊
@@USBlues I used to scrape tops until i got the shape right..... I'd have 10-20 hours in a top..... such a waste of time. angle grinder makes quick work but be patient with it! cause it's really easy to ruin a top with it too!
Really cool shape and excellent work. The super duper high pitch sounds did make me want to throw my phone in the river though.
Excellent - you feel the dedication
Every waking moment... Thank you!!
What a beautiful build!
Great video. The guitar looks awesome!
Thank you, brother!!!
I love the first fret inlay. I really like the idea of adding decorative inlays to frets that don't usually have any.
Thx! I've never done one but I think I'll do it again for sure

Hey thanks man! Really appreciate that :) actually never made a single pup guitar!
I liked the wood tailpiece; a different look that allowed you to repeat style theme.
Thank you!
Beautiful work! How long did it take to carve the top plate?
About 30 minutes for the top carve for me, another hour or 2 for the inside carve in the top! Thx, really appreciate it!
@@newillguitars You went from Saf-T planer to angle grinder to sander in 30 minutes?
@@USBlues yeah about that for the top, it doesnt take me long. Then carving out the back takes a bit more time, because theres more nuances to it.
@@newillguitars Thanks for your time, I need to buy an angle grinder!
