      @Virgil G I'm not completely sure, but his original equipment wasn't beyond 'weekender' stuff. I think he upgraded the band saw and possibly the table, and perhaps added the workhorse planer. Proof positive it's the hands, and in his particular case imagination, that made it.

      I don't know for certain either, but my guess is that by the time his first "Colored Pencil Guitar" video was approaching the "1M, 10M, or even its 30M views" benchmarks, he most likely had caught on to the fact that making these kinds of videos could literally become a career. Or maybe he just wanted to be a crazier luthier than Dan Ferrington from the beginning.

    I hope the neck won't bend, if it does let us know. I built a guitar with a slightly thicker than a standard neck, and it's holding good without adjusting the truss rod, I never actually adjusted it even after 4 years now. I'm sure the epoxy gives more strength to the wood.

    • @ryancozzolino7832
      @ryancozzolino7832 3 роки тому +2

      I have advice: if you want a wood neck that won’t warp, you should cook it with a kiln, to remove all moisture. With epoxy resin necks, we typically like to put carbon fiber inside, and it literally doesn’t bend at all, and will probably never warp.

      Without a truss rod i imagine the neck will eventually bend under the constant pressure over time, unless the strings are a very light gauge.
      Epoxy is a liquid which sets into an apparent solid; - old glass windows and even huge glaciers are liquids that appear solid but slowly flow and move through time, affected by force.
