  • Finally, It's completed! We started work on this collaboration project more than a year ago, we postponed it a couple of times due to other projects and workload but we managed to bring it to the end. We would like to thank Nate for giving us this chance to bring this project to life and create something new and unique. As you can already tell by the title, this instrument is tuned to an octave lower than standard tuning. To achieve this we had to lengthen the scale and order custom made strings just for this project. We used similar design we use for our spring bass model but with more intricate wood combination. We used maple, walnut and mahogany. You can see the details about the guitar throughout the video, just don't forget to turn on the captions!

As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practise the full stack project, is still great.

  • @Bloodray19
    @Bloodray19 Рік тому +5

    I really love your builds. One thing I would like to point out is the glue you use for layering. As far as I can tell, that's PVA glue. Now, it's an amazing wood glue in most cases, but luthiers don't really use it for building and repairing, because of a critical property. When it dries, it stays just slightly rubbery. In construction or furniture making that is in no way a problem. However when you're building an instrument, that thin layer of soft material between the good quality wood can lead to dampening of the vibrations throughout the body and neck. A much better option for laminating would be 2 component jeweler's epoxy. It sets up super hard, so it would be the ideal material for transfering vibrations. Another good option is Titebond original wood glue. It is made of aliphatic resin, that has better properties than PVA. You can do a really easy experiment. Put a dab of PVA and Titebond side-by-side on a piece of wood, let it completely dry, then try to sand it. You'll find that while the PVA will gum up the sandpaper and shred, you can beautifully sand Titebond. I hope this was at least interesting for you guys, even if you stick with your methods.

    Why did you make so many truss rods - please let it be so you can make more of these.
    Does it have to be unique? Couldn't this be a prototype? If you were making mk2 what would you do differently? What price are we talking?
    My attempts at the sub-bass concept failed miserably due to only increasing string gauge and not scale length.
    What gauges are you using? To my mind hearing it the E0 could do with being thicker and under greater tension.
    Seriously interested in this as product as well as this beautifully made work of art.
