Making a Les Paul Jr. Inspired Guitar with an Epoxy Ocean Pour // DIY Guitar Build

- My son just started taking guitar lessons, so I decided to make him his own guitar so he would stop stealing mine! He requested an ocean design, so my friend Sam from DIY Huntress helped me achieve that! Thanks so much Sam! It's just how I pictured it!

Thank you so much for building such an amazing guitar and then trusting in me to pour an ocean on top of it. So grateful for your friendship and for your trust in me!
Can’t wait our next play date... 😘
Next time we’re gonna make sparks fly!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Great job on the epoxy Sam! 😃👌🏻🌊👍🏻👊🏻
You did a fantastic job .
Nice job ladies, attention to detail is phenomenal 👍
It would be great if I could design a guitar with you (i don't make guitars I'm just very creative)
"Mom, can I have a guitar?"
"Yea. I'll be in the garage"
COOLEST. MOM. EVER. PERIOD.
Hahah 🤘
You
Built
A
Guitar
For
Your
Son
Best mom ever!
haha! so fun to make stuff for the kids
@@3x3CustomTamar what is that gold artwork 20:28?
Steve Thea not sure. It was my friends house
@@3x3CustomTamar OK 🥺
Why EVERYONE should make! Whether it's bada$$ guitars, clothes, artwork or homemade foods... the process and satisfaction it brings is priceless 👍
Agreed... awesome and inspirational mum! 👌
How cool is it for a kid to be able to say, when asked, where did you get that sick custom guitar?
"My mom built it!"
Your son is so lucky, What a great mom.
Thanks! I hope he realizes that. Ha
Shoooot. Me? I'd have it allllll over Instagram(& everywhere else), bragging about the guitar my badass mom built for me 😁
This ocean waves effect is one of the best i've ever seen. Great job.
ZaYwas Thank you so much for the love! 😍😭
Sam is the best! she did an amazing job!
Mom of the year! You even went as far as designing your very own guitar body shape and going with a set-neck construction opposed to the simpler bolt-on. You're awesome! Your kid will never forget this gift of yours!
Ha! Thanks! I’m always up for a challenge.
Unreal. I love how your mind conquers every "problem" (or task) on a build. Your son is very lucky to receive such a special gift.
Thanks so much! It’s so fun to figure this stuff out. He loves it. So I’m happy ☺️
Well my mom made me a laptop bag with music notes printed on the fabric so mine's cooler. Suck it kid who did nothing to deserve me antagonizing him.
@@3x3CustomTamar He better.
Okay good, my comment didn't wake mama bear.
tbonbrad 😉
drilling from the control cavity to the pickup, use the input jack hole go through that through the cavity into the pickup cavity
That would have been so much easier!
@@3x3CustomTamar In this case, yes. But if you prefer your output somewhere else, you can't do that anymore. My Ormsby has the output two inches under the strap button, pointing upwards, so you can better route the output cable through your strap for safety.
The two black buttons with the wave under it look like 2 eyes and a mustache.
Now you'll never unsee it. You're welcome ^^
Not only are you a woodworking genius, you can play guitar as well, which is one of the most difficult string instruments, and no you didn't stop there, you built one too. Are you from this world Tamar? So much talent in you, you could power a small sized country with it. I will never run out of compliments for you.
🤘🤘☺️
As a fan of single-pickup guitars, this is a real treat! I bet your son was super-stoked!
Haha yup! He loves it
This came out fantastic!! Going with a tapered neck was gutsy, but you pulled it off!
Thanks!! Yeah. I had some sleepless nights trying to figure out how I was going to make that work.
That came out so cool, love it! And can't wait to see you tackle making the neck on the next one. Building guitars is so satisfying!
Thanks so much Shaun! When this whole UA-cam thing dies down, I just want to make guitars all day....
You are amazing🤘
Holy smokes -- when this lady says she's gonna make a guitar, she's not kidding! No mere upgrade of a cheap kit, here! Incredible skills, beautiful results! Thanks for posting!
So glad you liked it. Thanks! 🤘
That guitar has that "Surfer Music" sound quality to it! The "Ocean" motif is great, as it goes wonderfully with the way it sounds, NAILED IT!
Thanks so much!
@@3x3CustomTamar You're welcome!
"my best friend, double sided tape" Ben from Crimson Guitars just shuddered.
Ha! I have tried the super glue tape tape thing. I don’t like it....
There's a lot things Ben would shudder at here but she did a great job anyway.
I was going to suggest Ben's tape/glue trick too!
@@cosplayboundlive There's a lot of luthiers who shudder in general at Ben's design choices..... (As in, the laughter levels are high in my luthiery course at college)
@@3x3CustomTamar well for both things it really depends on the tape... for the Superglue maskingtape thing, you need good masking tape for it to work. And the whole reason you do it is that most double sided tapes really leave ugly glue stuf behind... of cause if you find the right double sided tape for that job (that doesnt leave glue behind). I see no reason not to use it ;)
I’ve seen many guitar builds on UA-cam and this is probably my favourite. For the shape of the guitar alone.
That’s so awesome to hear!
3x3Custom - Tamar I was also so impressed to see how little you got deterred (on camera) when drilling through the body accidentally. It was very inspiring as that would have really broken me.
Solene Isconbi I edited out all the cursing. Ha
probably the best guitar building video ive seen and ive seen alot
So awesome to hear!
Any kid that age with a guitar to play is lucky but having THAT to play is next level. Ace job!
Thanks so much! It’s so awesome to see him messing around and learning on this thing
This is so awesome, Tamar! Love the fusion of passions :)
Thanks so much! I wish I could just build guitars all day and perfect them. I have so much fun with instruments.
@@3x3CustomTamar Your passion is so evident! Keep it up :) Looking forward to what comes next!
You really did a good job, going out of the way to do everything...
Great job.
Thanks so much!
That neck angle route template is such a brilliant idea!
I have to say, I really like that you show us when you run into hitches with your builds. It helps me to know that I'm not alone! And you always come through marvelously. BEAUTIFUL guitar! Thanks for the video!
thanks so much! I have yet to build something without making a mistake... it's all in how you fix them,
Great looking guitar Tamar! Your son said it all with his reaction 😊
Greetings from Croatia
Thanks so much!
This guitar is amazing and he’s really rocking it!!
Thanks so much!
You are one of the coolest woman on the UA-cam so far! Kudos to you!!!
🤘🤘
Lady you are something else and that is a compliment. You do great work, keep it up, Bob
🤘🤘
On playing demo tuning or intonation sounded a bit off. If nut was too high, that could be the reason. Also fretboard looks too dry, some dunlop lemon oil (not normal lemon oil!!!) can fix that. Otherwise wonderful build, if you just start with project like that, i guess soon you'll make big custom shop builders shy.
You are totally right. I brought it into my local guitar shop. The tech there filed down the nut and taught me how to do it for the next one. Now it sounds great. And I used regular lemon oil 😬
@@3x3CustomTamar I loved this video, Lemon oil is not an answer, I am no guitar builder but my much respected guitar tech told me to use normal oil lemon has a chemical factor in that has a detrimental effect on wood? I have no clue but I did notice a difference when I stopped using lemon oils on my rosewood necks
@@frankquinn1296 Change your guitar tech...I've been using lemon oil since i dont know how far back, 40 or so years and never ever had any problems whatsoever
@@bazwillrun Literally every modern guitar tech/builder tells you not to use real lemon oil. Dunlop formula 65 lemon oil is not really lemon oil, so it's safe. Strong lemon oil will ruin the wood by actually drying it, and loosen loosen up the adhesives holding the fret and fretboard down. 1% or 0% lemon oils are totally safe and SHOULD be used on any non-Maple fretboard.
Yup the ocean top made me want to build one....but then I remembered I have laundry to do and do not have the tools or skills to tackle this job.....it looks and sounds awesome though 🙂
Hahaha! And when the laundry’s done. There will be more..... ha
I've said this before but it's worth saying it again. YOU ARE FREAKING AWESOME.
Haha! Thanks so much! 🤘
Awesome!!!
First off you're great and do great work. Then you make your own guitar. And one for your son, who is learning to play. And it looks FANTASATIC!!!
Lucky family!!
Haha! Thanks so much! ☺️🤘
Your friend should have played Wipeout! perfect guitar for this piece.
it's a beautiful guitar. I'm trying to set up a workshop in my house, inspired by your videos. I hope one day I can make a guitar like you. I want you to continue your work and continue your success.
Thanks so much! That's so awesome to hear! guitar building is the most fun...
Totally bad a$$ gift for your son. You and DIY Huntress rocked that guitar!
Thanks so much! She killed it!
You are the coolest person ever. You are a great builder, play guitar, and a mom.
☺️☺️🤘
This is so cool! You’ve inspired me to want to make a guitar of my own someday! BTW, tell your son he made a great choice in the song to learn to play first.
Thanks so much! That’s awesome! Such a satisfying project. And Green Day is his favorite band.... ☺️
If a person is talented, then talented in everything
P90s! Yessssss! Best pickups Gibson ever dreamt up!
🤘
Tamar - coolest mum (mom!) ever! I've watched so many guitar building vids from luthiers all over the world but I learned so much from this vid, lots of really practical common-sense tips for small-shop hobby woodworkers which I know will work well for me. Thanks so much for your expertise and positivity, just love your channel, so easy to watch and learn!
Awesome to hear! 🤘
The song is High and Dry. Literally one of my favorite songs at the moment. What a weird coincidence.
Love that song.
Same, but I like heaps of Radiohead songs
holy shit that wave pattern is beautiful i wish i owned it
Thanks! Watch sams process! It’s pretty simple to do!
I love how you describe your thinking. You need the shirt Bob, @ I Like to Make Stuff, wears - Problem Solver. And thanks for the small (but matters) things in your videos like showing us the jigs that helped you get the results you were looking for. And thanks for staying humble - awesome! All the best!
Thanks so Much! So happy you like it. I always struggle with adding that stuff in because it makes the videos long. But I always just hope it helps some ppl out there
Don't leave me highhhhhhh, Dont leave me dryyyyyyy. Great song!
Radiohead is my favorite
The neck was designed for an arch top guitar like a les Paul .
🎸🤓🎸🇺🇸☮️
Greg Baker she could of easily changed the neck angle
now I'm watching your video for the second time.
Awesome. A woman of many talents. You never cease to amaze me.
The end result looks amazing, what a great effect!
Thanks so much! This is exactly how I pictured it in my head. Sam did an amazing job
if my mom made me a guitar i would kept it safe like my own eyes
Will you be my mom? I want a ocean guitar!
I have enough kids. Ha
You're the dream mom of literally every beginner guitarist ever, what a beautiful looking guitar, I hope your son has a ton of fun learning to play it.
It’s so awesome to watch him learn on it
You never cease to amaze me with your beautiful craftsmanship and your dedication. You are truly an inspiration to the entire youtube community and to me personally.
Thank you for all you do.
That's so awesome to hear. Thanks so much! I'm having a lot of fun, glad you guys are enjoying watching the ride... ha
Me: "Let me see how can I cut a piece of wood .. hmmm"
She: "Let's build a guitar"
Me: **Faints**
Wood working mom=female/male role model

🤘🤘
Super cool build and collab 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much gib! Sam was so fun to work with
UA-cam suggested me one of your videos couple days ago and I've got to say I'm hooked. I think what I love most is the down-to-earth-ness of it all. The way you include your mistakes and talk through your process makes it all seem so accessible. I've had a couple projects on the back burner (Designed them but not started construction) for a while now and can legitimately say your videos have inspired me to just start doing. Even if (when) I make mistakes I know sooner or later they will be finished and they will hopefully be as great as some of yours :) Thankyou for sharing your projects, I look forward to watching many more.
So awesome to hear! Mistakes happen on every project! What makes me a better woodworker is just learning how to fix those mistakes
Fantastic design. Love the shape.
Thanks!
Simply Beautiful. Well done, well done!!
Thanks!
Is there anything you can't make? You're absolutely fearless and very talented.
☺️☺️ This was a fun one
Instantly upvoted for the choice of song your son made to try it out.
Ha. Nice. He loves Green Day.
Your dual pronunciation of solder, much appreciated on the UK side of the pond :)
Haha! Glad you appreciated it!
Really enjoyed your guitar build, would love to do the same some day! thanks for posting!!
You're so talented and inspiring. Please keep making more videos!
Thanks! I will! Ha
You certainly have a gift. Very nicely done! The guitar souls great🎸
Thanks so much!
Fantastic build, well done, it looks great!
Thanks so much!
OMG like im so inspired right now I was really thinking to get into woodwork for the past years and this omg I hope its the start for something special in my life. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
That’s so awesome to hear! I hope so too!!
I have been playing electric guitar for 40+ years, you did a great job! I'm impressed.
Thanks so much! This was so fun. I totally want to build more
Absolutely amazing video and build!
Thanks so much! Really appreciate it!
Putting together a guitar is a lot of science and experience.....But doing custom bodies!, huge potential for that. Great video!
Thanks so much! So fun
Very cool build and design!
Thanks so much!
Nice guitar, useful comments all along the crafting! Thank you from France.
Thanks so much! ☺️🤘
You are beyond talented and your videos are true pleasure to watch. Thanks so much for your effort and sharing this with us!!
