    THAT HAS GOT TO BE THE COOLEST SEMI HOLLOW!! I love the headstock and bridge.

      Thank you! I wasn’t sure about the headstock, it was kind of a big swing, but I ended up liking it!

    Hi I just got into the diy guitar building and I just wanted to know if you sell the template's because yours turned out awesome and I'd love to try and build my own version

      Next time I’ll make a violin style floating bridge. I’ve got plenty of maple!

    Very cool build. I wanted to see what the back looks like. I know the wood used on the back wasn't that great, but it still would have been neat to see the back but very cool build nevertheless. I've really got to try to build one like this style. I haven't done anything quite like this yet.

    • @dannylewisguitars
      @dannylewisguitars  Рік тому +4

      Yeah I should have shown the back at the end! But you can see it around the 5 minute mark! It doesn’t change from that much with finish.
      The wood definitely wasn’t as nice as the mahogany! I wasn’t sure if this build would turn out so I didn’t use my best materials. I might try again with better quality stuff!

    @ChristianIsHere 11 місяців тому

    you shouldve put a hollow center behind the strings (even tho thats not on a violin) so you could use a guitar bow on it to sound more like a violin!

    Impressive build and I love the design! I just started watching your videos and I dig the creativity! I used to make a lot of things with wood, chairs and stuff, this makes me really want to up and make instruments but I've been too busy working all the time.
    I'm curious if it's possible to make a guitar you can play with a bow, where there's an arch to the bridge. It'd require all custom stuff though, so I don't know. It sounds fun to make though.

    • @dannylewisguitars
      @dannylewisguitars  Рік тому

      Anything is possible! You should totally try it!
      I wanted to build an instrument a long time before I actually did it and I wish I had just got started earlier. Im still learning as I go but that’s what’s fun about jt!

      Thank you! I honestly don't remember! I bought these pickups months ago. They're some cheap off-brand that I got from Amazon. Someday, I'll make a better version of this guitar and I'll buy better hardware and electronics. I'm thinking maybe 2 single coils like a telecaster would be cool for this bodystyle!

    • @dannylewisguitars
      @dannylewisguitars  Рік тому +2

      The bridge is just like a les Paul style bridge then I bought a tailpiece for an arch top. I had to cut the end a bit because it was meant for a thicker guitar.
