Watching from Brazil here. I'm in the middle of a guitar build myself (my second). One cannot have enough tools. To your wife I say this: approve the purchase, then, ask him to make something exclusively to you using said purchase. See, win-win. Peace and long life! 🖖
This turned out incredible man! Just recently found your channel and it's really making me want to dust off my very amateur woodworking skills and try my hand at a guitar haha!
Thanks for keeping me up watching your videos for hours. My musician friend has been pressuring me to take on a guitar build for him. After watching your vids, I’m all in! Going to start this coming weekend. Wish me luck!!!
Love this build 👍 I have black maple for back chambered body & mallee burl over 20 years old I want to build my own guitar & would so much love to win these templates please 🙏
From one luthier to another, excellent job bro! Watching through this vid made me realize I have no original thoughts while building cause you said everything I was thinking right after I thought it lol Absolutely loved the ecplise inlays, I am 100% gonna try that on my next build
A beautiful job with a great choice of woods. I recommend sorting the bearings in your bench drill as the chuck is not running true ( an easy fix ) and get yourself a 1/4" (6mm) 10 tpi skip tooth bandsaw blade and you will be able to cut out a whole body with one pass, instead of taking all those bites at it. Great job and excellent video, keep up the good work !!!
I definitely need to update my drill press forsure. I purposely do no use a small blade because I hate change blades out on the bandsaw. I keep a resaw king on it because my main use for the bandsaw is resawing and ripping. Also, thanks for the compliments!
Do what thou heart desires!!! Thine own will, carry my heart to the place of most beauty and unconditional love!!! Aaaaaaaaand BOOOOBIES!!! Love ya bro, keep doing kool stuff and it will always help ppl in ways you could never imagine!!!
I made my first guitar's neck out of maple, because I this is what I see as a standard for guitar necks. Then I decided to experiment with the next build: oak is readily available here, and it is about tenth of the price of maple. It turned out beautiful, it's color and grain is so nice. I liked it so much that I've used oak for the all my builds after that. One drawback of oak is that it's really hard and heavy, so maybe the balance of the guitar will be off because of the weight of the neck. I also read somewhere that oak sawdust is really toxic.
Damm..really nice guitar build..actualy tbh, this guitar body shape is the shape that i realy admire..i have dream to build this guitar body shape since last year..but this video show that you are the one who is capable to to it..nice job man..👍👍👍
Nicely executed, and most likely either neck would have looked just fine. Amazing bit of wood for the top, and the finish lets it stand out front and center.
You need that back cover brass. The rest flawless impressive esoteric ...amazing What no sound test aww man bummer well gud luck on that it's not too hard
I really appreciate you donating this to a good cause. As a veteran myself, I love seeing family's of those injured or killed in the line of duty receive so.e help to make their lives easier.
Took a lot of time to gather the tools, but the tools made it less time to make. 1000 ways to skin a cat, I’m sure you could do it with different tools!
Here are two other custom guitar builds on this channel - ua-cam.com/video/0lPR7xgmEcQ/v-deo.htmlsi=o4m6VbXWjJTXd7i_ ua-cam.com/video/izwbV4LA30U/v-deo.htmlsi=jzpGIPSYlP_UTQi0
@Bugzandbearsdad the charity is an in person event being held in Missouri on February 17th. If I get enough traction on this video, I’ll be selling some on eBay and donating many of the proceeds to music based charities.
Epic build. Heavier than the balls of Neil Armstrong. That´s seriously heavy. But seriously, I believe he would be in the next unfortunate Apollo accident if he refused to play ball with the MFrs.
Forgot to mention, those eclipses... Eclipsie?... Super cool idea!!
Thanks! I was just happy that it was easy 😂
Love the look of this! Saw a cedar burl guitar build in a Facebook woodwork group and it also caught my eye. Definitely came out really nice!
Much appreciated!

Maple is hard and heavy as well! But I agree, oak is stunning and I believe any wood can be toxic depending on the condition it’s in.

Saw this yesterday on reddit and thought "man I'd love to see the process of building that". Stoked to find this video, great work man
Glad you found it! Thanks!
The originality of this build is so inspiring, I am doing many hours of online research right now before attempting my own first build.
Thanks a lot! And very nice, good luck on this first build!
Fantastic design. Because large thicknessers are expensive, hobbyist guitar makers construct a guide rail sled to flatten oversized body blanks.
I agree, there’s ways around but dang it would be nice! Thanks for the compliment!
Heyyyy!! Just saw this on Reddit last night! And here we are! The “Symbiote” questionably stoned commenter!!
Hell yeah right on 🤘🏼 the more I look at it, the more I agree with you lol
Nicely executed, and most likely either neck would have looked just fine. Amazing bit of wood for the top, and the finish lets it stand out front and center.
Thanks. I agree they both would’ve worked. Yeah I think I’ll shop eBay more often for burl lol
You need that back cover brass. The rest flawless impressive esoteric ...amazing
What no sound test aww man bummer well gud luck on that it's not too hard
I debated on brass or black, I may switch it out eventually! Thanks!
I really appreciate you donating this to a good cause. As a veteran myself, I love seeing family's of those injured or killed in the line of duty receive so.e help to make their lives easier.
Absolutely, it’s the least I could do. What branch were you?
Great build and an awesome film.I bet the editing took as long as the build. Well worth it!
Thanks! Yeah both took quite a bit lol
Really good bodyshape.. what mold release did you finally use ?
Thanks! I just used paste wax
@@TheWoodenHobbyist thx 🙏 I got that from the video.. guess I don,t know what paste wax is (beeing German).. is it floor wax
🤘🏼🤘🏼
This is a beautiful one of a kind piece great job keep on keeping on thank you for your content.
Much appreciated thank you!
looks amazing, as an aspiring maker and luthier this is really inspiring keep up the sick work.
Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed it
Nice work, wish I had the tools and the time to make something like this.
Took a lot of time to gather the tools, but the tools made it less time to make. 1000 ways to skin a cat, I’m sure you could do it with different tools!
I love guitars, and haven't had the guts to make one yet. I really want to though.
Maybe you’ll win the template package! 🤘🏼
You definitely deserve way more followers! Amazing work!
Much appreciated!!
You are awesome. I enjoyed watching your video❤
Much appreciated! 🤘🏼
Still waiting for the link for the router bit :) Nice build!
Here ya go! And thanks! amzn.to/4eMpElP
Very cool! Congrats on the build.
Thanks!
Great looking build! I love the shape!!
Thank you!
Basonga
Love your work. It looks amazing
Thank you!
Nice work! Congratulations!
Thank you!
some huge balls loaded on your truck lmao
No kidding 😂
Your videos are great, love seeing the guitar builds
Thanks a lot!
Awesome build. Buy the tools…
Thanks! I might just do that. What the wife doesn’t know is a minimum of a 16in planer is needed to match the jointer 😂
Super nice build. Love the design.
Thanks a lot!
Wow that’s beautiful awesome job..
Thank you!
Wow! Everything from UA-cam University. Another successful graduate.
They should hand out certificates and diplomas lol
You put in the hours.... You deserve the sheep skin!!!
🤘🏼😁
Amazing work, and great content!!
Thanks a lot!!
That is an awesome guitar. Another great build, I have never tried a guitar... But your videos have inspired me
And Yes.... A 16 helical head joiner/planer would be great!!! Your wife should give up the new car and let you have it.
Thanks! I hope you get to build one yourself one day!
I’m screenshotting this comment and showing my wife right now lol
I recommended ebony, but wnegue also looks great in this guitar!
A bit cheaper too! 😂
@@TheWoodenHobbyist I'm starting my first build, went for a neck through design and wengue is the wood of choice. Pretty hard to work with :D
You should definitely get the jointer!
Thank you. I knew I wasn’t crazy!
Beautiful burl. Great work!
Much agreed, and thanks!
Tastefully done with the epoxy!
Thanks! I don’t know how tasty epoxy is, though. 😃
Here are two other custom guitar builds on this channel -

this is so cool, and a great charity
Thanks! And agreed!
Damn, she's gorgeous..❤
Thanks! Mother Nature did the hard work!
Burl...always a choice
I think it’s going to be my go to choice from now on. It’s gorgeous wood!
That is awesome man. Great cause too. Im astounded. Thats beautiful.
Thanks a lot!!
@@TheWoodenHobbyistI've learned my share from UA-cam but I think you paid closer attention 🤣🤣
Idk if I paid close attention or if I developed some sort of unstoppable and unhealthy obsession 😂
Great build video!
Thanks!!
I commented in your post about the fretboard wood choice on a fb group.
Well nice meeting on UA-cam! 😂 I think I like how the Wenge turned out
@@TheWoodenHobbyist yeah, looks great.
Thanks again!
Wow great design!
Thanks!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Looks great!
Thanks! 🤘🏼
Great job man!
Thanks!!
Nice build!
Thank you!
bad ass great job
Thank you!
Nice. But what were ya thinking with a cut=away which looks like it would not work well. Still cool, and the cause. Good work.
Which cutaway, the bottom? That’s a leg relief. Commonly seen on headless guitars. Plays rather comfortably when sitting down.
👍
🤘🏼
👌

Beautiful build!!!!
Thanks! We seem to have the same last name, Mr Whittington!
@@TheWoodenHobbyist long lost brother from another mother
Damn straight
Looks amazing
Thank you!
