    Simply Beautiful,, it has a Paul Reed Smith kinda vibe, I tried to build my own guitar but instead of a PRS it was a POS.

      Try again bro or redo the pos guitar. My greatest accomplishment was I took a pos guitar and transformed into a steel guitar and sold for 6 times more than what my dad gave for it at Montgomery wards in 1968.

    this is so relaxing that i’d fall asleep on and off during the sanding portions. don’t mean that as an insult either. such soft and gentle technique making the whole sculpt look and feel like butter with such beautiful natural design from the wood all under the time lapse just sets your mind down the best most relaxing thing you could watch. not even to mention the guitar in the background complimenting the whole thing. really hope i can make something like this one day.

    Unbelievable...
    At first, I wanted to watch only a few minutes...

    Might I recommend a trapezoidal neck profile for your next build? I filed one of my necks into a straight endurneck-type profile which is completely flat on each plane and it instantly became my favorite neck. You can't really find them out in the wild so your only option is to kinda build or shape your own, and you have the tools and knowledge to do so...just a thought. I know it changed the way I interact with the neck on a tactile level for the better.

    This is a brilliant idea for a video. If I were a custom shop I would make one like this, too. There are MANY builders who rely heavily on assembling parts. There is nothing wrong with that. However, if a luthier has the skill set to build from scratch, proving it on UA-cam for everyone to see makes a lot of sense. Well done👍

    It's 13:00 minutes into the video, and the guitar is already looking damn gorgeous!
    I hope someday to be fortunate enough to build my own guitar. I've reached the point in guitar playing that happens to life-long guitarists; you know exactly what you want, and it's not available for purchase without assembly. Although I may never have the patience or tools in order to build a guitar starting with pieces of wood stock, (pun intended) , it's near the top of my bucket list to make my own custom, 7-string electric guitar, with EMG pickups, a killswitch, and 24 frets. (Even more than 24 frets if that's possible. It should be, but I haven't come across one. (Yet.)

    Great job, Awesome guitar. I have made a few guitars and I can appreciate your craftsmanship. I like the tiger (curly) maple on the front of the guitar. I made a box guitar and used wormy (ambrosia) maple for the front and back with walnut on the sides. I used hickory for the neck.
