You’re doing some amazing things, Sean. And you pronounce “intonate” correctly!
Y’all argue over a FRX trem mounted to a brace block on a acoustic??? I’m pretty sure it’s possible?( I am a bit optimistic bout the bracing )
Is it In-tone-Nate or In-ton-Nate?
I freaking love how that instrument sounds brother, it has sound that backs up its incredible looks. You did a fantastic job!
I bet Lindsey Buckingham would love this guitar. Excellent work Sean!
Inlay some carbon fiber strips in the braces on the next one. The only concern about longevity I could think of is the braces don’t have the strength of a traditional cross grain braces.
The bridge is awesome man! These things are seriously loud and clear. You’re on to something here. I’d love to see one made out of redwood or cedar.
I've wondered a few times over the years why nobody does this... It seems like an obvious step in the evolution of the guitar.
Well done!
Classical guitars need something like this
Nicely done! I appreciate the journey, design, and experience sharing! Guitar does sound awesome!
That's a thing of beauty. Well done. It seems you get better with each subsequent build.
Beautiful craftsmanship and praise to Tim Sway Dan and fellow guitologist
That thing looks great!!! Nice work!!
This a totally different beast. Sounds really good. If the back has the correct support I don't think you need any screws to support the bridge, the glue will handle it.
Amazing work! I love to see you putting out these new innovations and breaking with traditional methods, using affordable tools in your garage to produce super high quality instruments that appear to play better than most "off the shelf" production models! I've got a long long way to go, but you really inspire me. I'm currently on my third build and experimenting too (long-scale baritone, from treated pine that used to be my back porch hahahaha). Thank you for being you, and sharing your journey with us!
I subbed post some vids of your work! And thanks!
We can feel your passion , when your talking man !!!
Great job !!! Your curiosity pays !!! A killer lookin and sounding good !!!
Very interresting to see you work , cool tips I got from this one !!!
Very nice. It sounds killer.
Sounds flippin great, Sean!!Dan at G&G was the first YT video I end watched. Love Dan and his family! Started watching Tim Sway shortly after I found YOU. Love what Tim does too!!
Holy Toledo you did what I always wanted to see done. Thank you.
Thanks for the idea mate, now i have a new idea for my new project guitar. 🥰
Hot and crisp! great definition!
HOLY HELL SMOKES!!! THAT GUITAR SOUNDS AMAZING!!!! YOU JUST BROKE THE RULES AND MADE A NEW TYPE OF ACOUSTIC GUITAR!!! Hell yes!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘
I love this one! I need one of these in my life!
Super cool ! I love it !
You really do some nice work.
Speaking of the great guitar build off, you throwing your hat in? Seems like a cool place to showcase these project acoustic hybrids.
Just awesome!
Wow that sounds and looks great.🤘
That's a really creative concept, it would be a good idea to patent it Sean. Very cool and sounds great imo!
It's about time someone made this. And it seems your the only one doing it or at least that I've been able to find. Too cool
Amazing work, you’re a master of your craft for sure
As always Sean, you come up trumps. Lovely build
Fantastic stuff, man! 👌🏼👏🏼
Sounds really good!
That's very nice.
Looks and sounds amazing! And patent that bridge design fast!
Very cool guitar man. Looks and sounds great and love how you put your own spin on an acoustic.
Thanks a lot!
Yeah, Brad is great! I absolutely love his channel.
Outstanding
sweet just sweet what more can you say
Sounds spectacular brother. I want one.
Very cool indeed
loud & proud sean, thats a nice.
Way ahead of ya....
Someday I’ll get one of your guitars. They are so beautiful and look wicked.
Fantastic work! An acoustic guitar ahead of anything else 🤓👽
Finally an acoustic I like. Love to hear how it will sound with piezo's or an internal mic.
WOW 😲 that sounds beautiful. Now I want one 😥
Ya man 👍🏻
Now Acoustic Guitars w/ Electric Guitar style bridges sound better than ever.
Nice freakin' work Sean!
🐉💀👽🎸🎶🎵🧠
The production quality has gone up quite a bit Sean. Niceeeee❤️❤️❤️
That guitar is awesome..
You look really proud playing that and you should be proud! Going against the grain and just letting them hate
\m/
Great sounding guitar the bridge is a fantastic concept.
Glad you like it!
Amazing!
Sean, I designed something similar, but more of a hybrid, thinner with steel strings, and a humbucker. It doesn't have the volume of a traditional acoustic but sounds good unplugged, and deadly plugged in. But I love your idea. Patent brother patent!
It’s a bit difficult to judge tone when the audio is recorded through less than optimal audio equipment but with that being said this is Extremely Interesting at the very least because it still sounds “pretty dang good” .
(And better than many traditional acoustic guitars I’ve heard on demo’s)
Sounds to me like it leans towards the brighter side but that’s not necessarily a bad thing as it may cut through better in a mix or when jamming with more instruments.
Would love to hear it live.
I dig it ... the whole thing .... the whole idea and execution.
Keep it coming.
I think it does sounds best under a hot mic. It doesn't have that annoying bass overtone that keeps an acoustic from being clear in a mix.
Well done Sean! It'll be interesting to see how it sounds when you plug it in. Looks and sounds killer! I really appreciate all that you have put into making this instrument and including me in the process once again.
No thank you for watching me labor over this crazy, out of the ordinary, wonderfully different guitar. I don't think there is such a thing as "perfect" but it's new and all your`s' brother! Enjoy!!
Looks and sounds amazing, Sean! Rich shared your little sneak peak with me yesterday, I feel privileged. I can’t wait to see both guitars you made for him soon. Keep on keepin on brother. (We gotta get together soon, Rich!)
Congratulations Rich!! That is an awesome guitfiddle!!
Love it.
Hey man, get a patent application going. You're onto something. Sounds way better than I expected.
Love it! Too many people don’t like this idea.
holy shit that looks beautiful
Great video. I think your dog is really cool! I like how you anchored the bridge. It sounds all right!
So gloriously in tune ! Fantastic idea with that bridge !
Glad you like it!
That is great! Only thing to make it better is if the plate was a bit more hidden under the saddles. I wanna see more wood at the end/opening of the bridge. Thats my only suggestion.
Nope that won't make it better, that will cause it to not work actually cause it willmake the saddle screws get hung up on the lip of the plate. It's exactly where it needs to be :) Lot of trial and error went into this.
That bridge is so smart
Outstanding innovation I like the idea. I was surprised at the sound, and volume. You should think about a patent Sean, I'm serious!
Nice sound.... 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you 😋
Man, it actually sounds great! Sounds like there are some electric guitar sonic characteristics (acoustically speaking) in the the attack, definitely caused by the metal saddles. Definitely does make a difference! I'm pretty sure the SS frets added some bite/clarity as well (GOSH I love SS frets!!!)
Great build and sounds pretty dam good that bridge is what did it most acoustic guitars are hard to intonate the low e is the hardest one even on my Kramer baretta the low e I had to take the stupid spring out to get back far enough plus I had to cut the screw because the screw would hit the string and that was on an $800 guitar I wasnt pleased to say the least but managed to fix it right but I was like this guitar should be better than this for what I spent hell every guitar will have issues I dont care if they cost a million bucks something is bound to be wrong because things are not perfect ever,but in your case its different you made something unique for you I like it alot you put work into something that will last for many years be proud of yourself the guitar is awesome I wish I could build a guitar I wouldnt know where to begin ,great video godbless and be safe
That sounds like an EAR GEMS PRODUCT!!
it has nice clarity considering it's a hard top guitar, it probably even improve over time
Nice job!
Thanks for the visit
Love the guitar and your videos.
It seems that the material cost is higher than that of a standard acoustic: instead of using many flat pieces that you bend into sides and have tops, you use large pieces and carve them.
Also not knowing how, I'd imagine your bridge transmits the vibrations of the strings into the soundboard worse/differently as the force unlike a regular bridge is not as orthogonal to the soundboard.
Great guitar though:)
Very very cool Sean.
Love your attitude brother, big reason I love Brads channel too.
Keep on challenging the "Accepted view" and always ask "Why".
We would never move forward without that way of thinking.
You and Brad both challenge my thoughts at times and whilst I don't always agree with stuff it NEVER gets in the way of enjoying the discussion and NEVER makes me think any less of who I disagree with if it's an intelligent dicussion and not just some asshole pushing his own views without listening.
I'm Australian so forgive me 🤣
That guitar looks amazing and sounds great. I bet it would be a really good Studio instrument.
Keep it up brother
All the very best
👍✌😎
Where can we buy a bridge like that
Wow.i hope i can make that too
holy shit...didnt know you could add electronics.Q>
gonna have to make some requests.!>
love the look and sound.!.
Dude you really need to put a Scared logo on the headstock of your masterpieces. Represent my brother, represent
Nice bro
Awesome idea sounds great, was wondering string thru acoustic?? Just curious if that would affect tone?
It would choke off the tone and it would never work because an acoustic swells it would never stay in tune I think
Jesus Christ you got some mega fast hands there.
I have been wondering when someone was gonna come up with an adjustable bridge for an acoustic.
7:36 nice!
wait whats the pick up selector for.>?>>?>?>
Impressive! Is it structurally possible to make a multi-piece back to match the top?
I’ve said it before but that acoustic bridge is Ingenious. Can you patent this?
Also, any acoustic have stainless steel frets?
Seems like perfect acoustic to me!
VERY cool!
Sounds killer.
☑️ Sub'd
I've always wanted an adjustable acoustic. They're such a pain to play in different tunings because of the Intonation
Like it😊
Thanks for liking
He is the only smart guitar master!!! He installed adjustable bridge!!! Others brains are stuck in 15th century!!! Guess what!!! I am a smart guy too! I ordered $8 electrical guitar bridge from ebay and will install it on my acoustic guitar!!!
You Good 😂🎉
You follow all the best channels. I'll check you out.
I'm a newb at guitar building. I've made 11 CBG's and I'm finally delving into an acoustic body. I'm curious why nobody uses an adjustable roller saddle/bridge setup? I recognize they are for electric guitars but has anyone tried this? If not, any ideas why?
I think if you were to add titanium nut and saddles it may just stand the test of time.
You are very fast looking like zom with Tim Allen in it
I would love to buy one of these bridges
HMU on Instagram or facebook
I love watching craftsmen work. This is coming from the guy that flunked shop because he couldn't get his wooden spice rack right.
Hey mang you seent them Floyd Rose FRX... what about slabin one a them on a (hidden brace block) on an acoustic ??? Seems plausible.
It actually does seem plausible
@@jefflitchfield4950 LOL You guys are trippin
I think it would work. Practicality is a whole new can of worms.
@@scarmyguitar why’s the top makin that crackelin sound? Cause Whammy!
@@PooNinja yeah, extra bracing lol
Close! Adjustable bridges (and nuts) WILL correct some built in tuning errors that guitars have. The sacrifice is better tuning but less TONE.
"less tone"- if there were ever such a meaningless statement it would be this one
WHAT TONE ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
Tone isn't a sound, it needs something in front of it, bright tone, muddy tone, warm tone (warm and muddy are the same ) or bassy tone
I never understood why people parrot this phrase, it's almost like they don't know what they are looking for in a guitar and just follow what a company gives them as the "best" sounding guitar
Pet peeve rant over
I agree as this guitar lost none of that big booming sound I'm used to hearing.
Thank you scar for that great guitar video I just want to add my comment and that is Brad isn't outrageously cool dude very very nice man honest man good man it just oozes off of his videos I have to get the use fact because I can't see cuz I'm blind lol stay safe everybody sincerely yours, the blind bedroom guitarist
What is the reddish wood?
I know this was an old question, but since you never got an answer, the wood is African Padouk. It's a hard, dense and very durable wood that I've worked with a lot myself.
I really love your work. I love building my own designs as well. Do you have any plans? I build only by hand.
No, sorry
