I can’t take credit for the design unfortunately. I was heavily inspired by Novo Serus T. Check out this video to see the Novo: ua-cam.com/video/ER0c7EL0Tr0/v-deo.htmlsi=j6f2Gu14yckSh5_n Thanks so much for watching 😃🙏🏻
lovely. I'm an experienced woodworker and a lower intermediate guitar player. i have numerous guitars i have purchased, but this is inspiring me to consider my own build. thanks!
Hi Thad. I’m so happy that you find it inspiring. Thanks so much for your comment and for watching. 😃🙏🏻 If you have some woodworking tips let me know 😅👍 Mic
I've build my first DIY guitar using a guitar kit (I'm no carpenter and don't have the proper tooling) and I wanted to experiment a bit with spray cans (also my first time too). Learned a lot about designing and tuning a guitar, intonation, etc. I've uploaded a video on June 16th It would be great when you'd check it out and maybe give me some tips and tricks for the next one :) Have a great and inspiring evening Michael! Greetings from the Neherlands Bert
Nice guitar shape, nice pickup choices. Really nice in that it sort of normal, yet not normal. You have not gotten hung up on history, but you have not settled for normal either. Totally great.
Thanks so much Lance😃🙏. I can’t take credit for the guitar shape though. I just copied one of my favourite guitar builders 😉 ua-cam.com/video/ER0c7EL0Tr0/v-deo.html Thanks so much for watching 🙏
I get it that that was the look you were going for but still it's looked great & it broke my heart to see you distressing what was a perfect looking guitar. But hey at least you'll never have to worry about someone chipping the paint :D
@@MichaelLagerstedt I don't know of your going to sell that guitar but if so no price would be too high & whoever gets will be one lucky guitarist. Beautiful build!
These videos are really cool man! I've always wanted to build a guitar, but never been brave enough. Super inspiring to see these cool designs by Dennis and see that its possible to somewhat make them at home!
WOW this is truly amazing. I wish I could do this! I love the way this guitar was built. This pickup configuration would be my dream set up. Thanks for the vid.
Like I said in one of your other videos, I love the fact that you aren't just doing tele's and strats. I will be building one of these soon. I got your pdf plan and have made my templates for the body. I will be making my own neck as well so I am working on that first. My first one will be a double P-90 with wrapped tailpiece.
Somebody likes Denise's work and wants a Novo don't they? Nice job with the build I think it turned out well. I want to build a pine body one of these days too thanks to him. Seeing the guitars they build inspired me to start learning how to build guitars slowly as well.
Dennis Fano was also inspired by other builders. The cycle never ends. This build was unique in its own right. I look forward to seeing your build... "one of these days".
Im building 8 Colorado beetle kill pine guitars.I had the log milled quartersawn and air dried for 8 years before I started building . I love the tight quarter sawn grain on your build. Fantastic video too 👏👏
Hello Mickaël, Nice project! I'm a non-professionnal luthier from France and guitarist in music band. I've made myself 2 Novo style guitars and one of them is my main guitar( for playing in live) You've done a really good job!, Nice relic job, Look awesome !!! Yohann
Hi Yohann, sounds amazing. Please send me a picture of your guitars… if you want to 😉 Would love to see them. Thanks so much for watching and commenting 🙏🏻😃
I have a 1963 Zenon Audition body with no neck I found on Reverb. The shape is very much like your body style. I hope to make it into a Frankenstein bass. I have a 1980s Squire bass neck with a Tele headstock. I love your guitar so far. Looking forward to seeing the completed work.
Hi Luke, Thanks so much 😃🙏. I’m happy you found it too 😉. Yes I have a guitar build lined up for next month. I have all the parts ready except a humbucker pickup… have to find a good one… I’m super excited about it so stay tuned 😃👏🏻
I thought about that… but I don’t have access to sand blasting equipment at the moment. But at some point it would be fun to try 😉👍 Thanks for watching 🙏🏻😃
This is beautiful. Thank you for your channel and all that you teach. As a guy who only has worked on parts guitars, Michael's channel is a goldmine of info for me. Please subscribe. He should be at least at a million subs.
Hey Corben, thanks for the support man. So glad you enjoy the content. I would love to do more guitar build videos and I just heard from Joe from guitaranatomy.com the they would be happy to support another build. What would you like to see? Thanks again 🙏🏻😃
I really don't like the relic but : great job ! Maybe next time you can use only an oil finish ,as on the neck ( or transparent varnish) to show that wonderful pine wood ....
Hi Riccardo, Yes I know it’s not for everyone - I’m just trying to imitate what Novo Guitars are doing - I love the way they distress or relic their guitars 😃 Thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to comment 🙏
SIR..that is ABSOLUTELY beautiful. NICE work-especially your attention to detail. Tell me about the pickups and the wiring-...two 3 way switches? Again, BRAVO.
Cracking job Michael, I bet the smell of that pine was wonderful while you were working it. Great pickup choice and love the relicing. Nice job - Well done!!
Thanks so much David. You are absolutely right-I love the smell of that old pine and the almost orange colour is amazing. Thanks so much for watching 😃🙏
As interesting as the grain pattern is on that old pine I would have been tempted to do a natural clear finish on it instead of painting over it. That or maybe do a semi transparent white instead of a solid then relicing the guitar. But that's just me. You were the one that built this guitar and it was your choices. It does look good.
Hi Robert, I can definitely see what you are saying and I did the transparent finish on my first guitar build using the same wood so I wanted to do something different 😉👍. Thanks so much for watching 😃🙏🏻 ua-cam.com/video/4NwYjQEBODU/v-deo.html
Thanks so much 😉🙏. That was exactly what I was going for. I fell in love with the Novos and tried to do what they are doing and learn from some of the best 😉👍🏼
Top build mate ! how was the reclaimed pine to work with? Im a big Novo Fan too and am actually in the middle of my own series J “tribute” build 😆 Please make more guitars mate you’ve definitely got the talent
Thanks so much 😃🙏🏻. I loved to work with the old pine wood and the smell is amazing. It’s soft yet dense. Thanks so much for watching and taking time to comment 👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😃
Hi John, I know it’s not for everyone - I felt like you but Novo guitars turned me totally around on that - So I’m trying to imitate what Novo Guitars are doing - I love the way they distress or relic their guitars 😃 Thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to comment 🙏
Did you change your mind from burst to white, mid build? I wanted to see the burst look. The way you use those shadow boards while painting the different layers was cool.
Hi Hamp Yonce, No it was planed that way. Check out this video to see why: ua-cam.com/video/O01cLozmRIU/v-deo.html If you want to see the sunburst check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/IF8vwBNaU-I/v-deo.html … and thanks so much for watching 🙏😃
Very nice, but why you dont build your own neck guitar? It's the most interesting part of the building. With a bit of knowledge, it's not so difficult. Great anyway !
Hi, Thanks so much for watching 🙏😃. I bought a really cheap router … I think the brand is Franken or something like that but that doesn’t matter. You can use any router you xan find where you live. 🙏😉
Thanks so much. I really appreciate it 😃🙏🏻. I am actually seriously considering selling this one to finance my next build. It turns out that building guitars with good parts can pretty expensive 😅. If you are interested please send me an email. Thanks so much for watching 😃👍
Hi, Thanks so much 😃🙏. To get enough money to build more guitars I think I have to at some point. 😉👍🏼 I you are interested just send a mail 👌🏼 Thanks so much for watching 🙏😃
Thanks so much 😃🙏.. well stay tuned… 😉… I just got the parts for the next build … just need a great humbucker Seymour Duncan sh-1 59 … and then I have everything… I will announce it soon 😉👍🏼
I actually had a friend cut it in a CNC machine at his workplace. It’s cut in 3mm aluminium but the Novo guitars are only 1,5 or 2mm, not sure what exact material. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻😃
Hi Michael I see that you make a crackeled finish, but you finish at nitrocellulose or poliutethane? I think at polyurethane is not possible made crackeled thanks for your help, best regards from Barcelona
Thanks a lot … it’s not just a little inspired by Novo, it’s heavily inspired by them. The reason I got into building a guitar was because I saw a Novo I couldn’t afford 😅 Thanks for watching and taking time to comment 🙏🏻😃
I hear you... I'm a big fan of Novo guitars myself and had to cancel a custom order (Serus P2 in 64' sunburst) beginning this year because of import taxes sky rocketing in Turkey... Great job, I love what you do! @@MichaelLagerstedt
What stain did you use on the neck before you applied the boiled linseed oil or was that just a boiled linseed oil and if so how many coach did you used to achieve that color
Hi, I just used boiled linseed oil and only one coat. But I should have given it 2 or 3 thin coats with 3-4 days drying time between each coat. I’m going to do that soon. The brown colour is because the neck is roasted maple 😉 Thanks so much for watching 😃🙏
Hi Ted, Yes it’s something you either love or hate I think. My guitar building role model is Dennis Fano and the Novo Guitars guys and I love how they distress and relic their guitars. I try to do the same but I have a lot to learn Thanks so much for watching 😃🙏
Hi John, I used a bit with a bearing closest to the shaft. Something like the smallest of these: www.walmart.com/ip/4Pcs-Pattern-Flush-Trim-Router-Bits-Set-1-4-Inch-Shank-Bottom-Bearing-bit-1-2-Cutting-Diameter-Cut-Template-Guide-Woodworking-Milling-Cutter-Tool/1714085732 Thanks for watching 😃🙏🏻
Wow! Incredible Craftsmanship! Thank you for sharing your process. I may have missed but do you use biscuits to join the two halves of the guitar blanks together? Keep up the Great Work
Hi, I just used ordinary clamps 😉 You might get a better picture of it in this video : ua-cam.com/video/GO2xIj62_3U/v-deo.html , Thanks so much for watching 🙏😉
Hey James, thanks so much 🙏😃 … and you are definitely not the only one that doesn’t care for the relic thing 😂👍🏼 My role model is Novo Guitars and the way they do relic’ing 😉
Neither was I until I did my own! No more worries if your baby gets scratched. We’ve all done it before and felt depressed over it! Liberating!!! I no longer care for brands or minor scratches as long as it plays!!

Cool project! Inspiring design.
Thanks so much Eric 🙏. I can only take credit for the small tweaks I made to a great design by Dennis Fano though.
Novo guitars 😉
you should consider sandblasting the body like Novo to pull out the texture
I thought about that… but I don’t have access to sand blasting equipment at the moment. But at some point it would be fun to try 😉👍
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻😃

Hi Michael the plate of knobs is aluminium or inox? Best regards from Barcelona

"guitar BODY" :)
Yes I got that 🤣
Nice job as always! What’s your next project ? :)
Thanks so much 😃🙏.. well stay tuned… 😉… I just got the parts for the next build … just need a great humbucker Seymour Duncan sh-1 59 … and then I have everything… I will announce it soon 😉👍🏼
How did you get the metal pickguard did you cut it or let it get cut for you? if so do you have a file for it.
I actually had a friend cut it in a CNC machine at his workplace.
It’s cut in 3mm aluminium but the Novo guitars are only 1,5 or 2mm, not sure what exact material.
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻😃
Stupid question…was the neck already made or did you make it from scratch??….awesome job my man…love the design and relicing!!
Thanks so much Eddie 😃🙏
Hi Michael I see that you make a crackeled finish, but you finish at nitrocellulose or poliutethane? I think at polyurethane is not possible made crackeled thanks for your help, best regards from Barcelona

@@aonortac Thanks so much man🙏🏻
The real precision is when you can put a floyd rose on it and be perfect and they always build these with those old crappy style bridges
Great vid and build! What did you apply after you reliced the finish?
Thanks so much Guy, 😃🙏
I didn’t apply anything after relic’ing 😉👍🏼
Dislike string trees, try a scarf joint and get some tilt on the headstock😀
I might try that when I start building the next from scratch 😉👍🏼
So what are you building this year ?
I have a great plan that I’m super excited about but I’m not quite ready to disclose that yet… but please stay tuned. 🥳🥳🥳
So you build Novo replicas? I believe that's a serus T.
You are absolutely right… but a Serus T with a twist. The 3 pickup setup and the pick guard has a little something I didn’t get from Novo 😉👍🏼
What stain did you use on the neck before you applied the boiled linseed oil or was that just a boiled linseed oil and if so how many coach did you used to achieve that color
Hi, I just used boiled linseed oil and only one coat. But I should have given it 2 or 3 thin coats with 3-4 days drying time between each coat. I’m going to do that soon. The brown colour is because the neck is roasted maple 😉

Thanks for watching 😃🙏🏻
Wow!
Incredible Craftsmanship!
Thank you for sharing your process.
I may have missed but do you use biscuits to join the two halves of the guitar blanks together?
Keep up the Great Work
Hi,
I just used ordinary clamps 😉
You might get a better picture of it in this video :

Thanks so much for watching 🙏😉
Sir,hw do I get one with dual buckers?
Hi Lee, you should build one… or you can order one from Novo Guitars or me for 2000 $ 😜
Love your design. Not a big fan of the “relic” trend, however. That’s a matter of personal taste, I guess.
Hey James, thanks so much 🙏😃
… and you are definitely not the only one that doesn’t care for the relic thing 😂👍🏼
My role model is Novo Guitars and the way they do relic’ing 😉
Neither was I until I did my own! No more worries if your baby gets scratched. We’ve all done it before and felt depressed over it! Liberating!!! I no longer care for brands or minor scratches as long as it plays!!
@@MichaelLagerstedt me three !
This looks brilliant.
Even cooler than my Talman.
Congrats ;)
Are selling any of them
Hi Michael, yes maybe. If I get the right offer I might 😃👍
Thanks so much for watching 🙏🏻
Do you sell them, probably not!✌️♥️🎸
