I love Fano's! My buddy just got two new Novo's they're beautiful. You'll love this guitar and it will sound incredible. Who gets to pick out their wood???? Just beware, I would limit any relic features!
Enjoyed the video, but thumbs up purely for the C+C Music Factory
CnC machine: everybody dance now! the squirrel part lol . . . get lol my older cousins fav jam i heard that song on repeat as a kid while staying at the aunties n uncle's place back in da day
The Crocket Rocket!!! Yes
Hahaha
You and Rhett are making me GAS so hard for a Novo. Damn those guys are nice and legit
I've been GAS'n for a Novo for years, i feel your pain lol!
Good choices on the wood!! Can't wait for the final product.
This neck blank looks gorgeous!
you and Rhett should start a painting company. "annoying colors LLC"
Cant wait to see finished product
Awesome vid mang! Love the online vote and veto! 😂😂😂 "it's MY guitar dammit!" 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
🤣
Hey R. J. Looks like that neck's gonna be a winner ! 👍🏻🤘🏻
I really like the choices you made for the neck and fingerboard pieces of wood! Wow, I am so excited for the end result! :D
sweet opportunity!
Man that's some nice wood!! Can't wait to see the next vid!! Cheers RJ!!
Skippy the knot! :-D
Oh ya, that neck is the shyte ! ;-) Congrats R.J. I can't wait to see it finished !
Dude your guitar is gonna be crazy cool!!!!
5:24 hahaha that made me laugh :D
Some great choices there and it will look amazing when it's all done. I know you were going for the teal type finish with hot pink guard on it but what about doing a pink finish under the teal too so it shows through when it starts to wear.
What a great idea.
Love the Title!
Awesome video R.J !!
Nice piece of pine there R.J. I personally wouldn’t paint it. I’d do a transparent white wash and top with clear nitro. I would then add a tortoise shell pickguard with gold hardware. Just my 2 cents. No matter what you do I’m sure it will kick ass.
GOLDANGIT!
I was waiting to see the black and white striped pickguard ...
I'm thinking of having a custom made guitar with Prestige in Vancouver. It's cool to see the process
I happen to stop in a custom shop today, and I saw this neck where all the position markers were silhouettes of famous players with a guitar, jimi, hetfield, slash, dimebag, way... cool, I should've got pic
im excited for this one
Like a kid in a candy store! :) Nice video RJ!
Awesome!
Dude, yer vlogs are the best 🎸🎸🎸
2:21 - You just HAD to do it, didn't you? LOL! Dig it! #thatwasforyoupetermckinnon Quality vid work!
Slow mo coffee ftw!
Right on!
Did you tap the bodies and neck wood and compare? There can be such a vast difference between two blanks; some go thud while others go "Ting". Each piece is unique in its frequency response. Most overlooked is the neck wood and how it resonates along with fingerboard which seems to sculpt the sound of the maple/mahogany neck base. Looks killer. It is one of the most anticipatory experiences Ive ever had........waiting for it to land in hands. And most nerve wracking while its en route(fedex). I would imagine that 75%of the guitar, regardless of the materials gives you that base but its that other 25% that takes something over the top or just so-so. The great ones are that rare breed where everything compliments one another and pushes those frequencies forward. Its more of a gamble when ordering an acoustic but time, shredding and care go along way to what it can eventually become.I wait with you. Cheers RJ!
I didn't, but good point!
I have a feeling the secret sauce for raising the grain is literally water...
Love your vlogs!
I picked the same wood for the body.
😀
That Rhett image made me spit out my drink, lmfao!!! I’m loving seeing this process man, good seeing you on Ben’s stream last night, hope you saw/enjoyed GOT(I did), talk to you soon man.
-Aaron
I did, what an intense episode.
Agreed, that was an hour plus of “oh shit”.
hilarious music references! we know the color of your energy in the cnc dance factory!
0:12 *RJ puts on shades* Don Ron-Teal-io returns to check on the creation of his weapon...
😎
i love wood
Cant wait the full guitar!
I think I could have about 4 of their guitars. Solid, Semis, different pickup and bridge configs....
Your Ernie Ball JP has a Tempered “ Roasted “ Maple neck.
You're right! It's a beautiful neck
@@RJRonquillo You , my friend have great taste in Fiddles.
Just like on Rhett’s, it kills me that the Novo build video opens with a Guitar Center ad.
So much good wood in this episode (fnar fnar)
That's what she said!!
How to raise wood grain is not really a secret. 😂
I go through this process in my basement.
5:35 "The mills where we get this - they guys that we work with - they know what we want so they send us stuff we really like, they send us stuff with the right weight...' 5:48 "These are all bodies that were too heavy..." 🤔
Haha i caught that too. I think he meant to say too heavy for the normal builds, but perfect for their semi hollow bodies and tops.
We got a pallet in waaaay back that was gorgeous but a tad too heavy for normal use. So we saved it until we made semi-hollows. The stuff we were looking through for RJ was a fresh pallet - all good stuff for Serus J's!
@@MythosMatthew I understand - just bad timing on the video :D You guys make beautiful stuff
Really surprised at the pine body. Apparently Novo doesn't give much consideration to the whole tonewood debate :) No one builds with pine. Alright, HARDLY anyone. One reason is its so soft (and light) that it dents REALLY easily. Be careful. The first Tele prototypes were pine and the working musicians that Leo tested with told him to switch to hard wood for that reason. So will you share the final cost with us? And do their guitars really sound that awesome or is that just you?
Haha boner flame!!! I dig it man. Cheers RJ. Likd 98
Raising the grain when you sand it ...... so you are wet sanding not a big secret mate
I think they wet sand with Tennessee whiskey
R.J. Ronquillo well mate you better be careful you don’t set the neck on 🔥 when you get yours then
Love your vids but thats BS, 6 weeks!! I ordered and paid for mine in February and I won’t get it till August. Must be nice to skip the line. I’m gonna have to send Matt an email 🤔
Ooh snap, i'm gonna tell him
R.J. Ronquillo I’m just giving you a hard time. I get it though, your (novo) guitar looks better with a somebody (you) playing it VS. a nobody like me 😭
JAKE! Shoot me an email and we'll talk!
“420” eheh u know what i mean
Did they put ur name on the fret board or body ?
I haven't decided yet if I want my name or initials on it.
Yep. This video is getting copyright claimed by C+C Music Factory. lol
What if the body was the shape of a face
So RJ, I look at having a guitar builder relic a guitar as a wannabe move. I have 40+ year-old guitars that look in better shape than some of these relic guitars that get dragged around parking lots and look ridiculous.
My reason for having relic guitars (I have 4) - is, mostly mental - I can play them and throw them around without worrying about dings. I had a relic Tele fall out of a gig bag onto my driveway, and I couldn't tell where it got dinged lol.
I have a boner just watching this blog. Being a low budget musician, I get to pick my guitars through catalogs and music stores websites. Then watch someone like RJ demo it for us. RJ, if you read this, how long did it take you to pick all the wood?
Kinda cool, but wayyy too expensive. I'll charge more for what you want, you should be happy about it!BS
Please don't do the relic thing! It's like cutting holes in your jeans.
Knots in a guitar that costs $3,000? I get that it adds character, but it doesn’t appear to be quality wood. Maybe I’m a snob, but not my thing.
