This is absolutely one of my favorite builds! As for potential tips/critiques the bridge height issue can easily be solved by routing in a pocket for the bridge into the body. Wouldn't take more than a few millimeters. Also the pickup selector issue could potentially be solved by using Mini-On/Off switches for each pickup. Keep it up!
I know you've done a handful of solid-body acrylic guitars, but have you ever thought about making a hollow-body acrylic guitar? Old game consoles, controllers, and handhelds like the atomic purple GameBoy Color are such a big thing of nostalgia for me, that I can't help but wonder what a guitar inspired by those would look like. It'd even be cool if you wired in some modboards or just put in custom-ordered PCBs to really get that retro look, while being a bit lightweight.
A year ago I suggested what if he built a michael Anthony jack Daniel's bass, but put actual whisky in it so it has a similar effect like john 5's telecaster, a hollow body acrylic could achieve this!
If you want aniline dye to really show on wood, try mixing it with isopropyl alcohol instead of water. It wicks deeper into the grains and dries quicker.
@@Bleats_Sinodai Lignum vitae is golden brown to black, but can age to a deep green. It's also the second-heaviest wood in the world (after snakewood) so you would have to veneer it, or it would weigh 25 pounds. Doesn't need any finish at all, it's so oily and dense.
i could listen to you play for hours, your playing is always so peaceful and groovy and vibey....and then you started palm muting which also sounded pretty cool
Ken Parker started out trying to make the thinnest playable guitar possible that could hold the string tension and be stable. I played his prototype for the Fly and it was so thin that it didn't have a bridge, just basically nails/pegs and they stuck through the back. It was probably half as thin as this. It resonated like crazy and actually sounded great. But the Parker Fly itself is very thin. He used carbon fiber exoskeleton which is paper thin to add strength to the whole guitar and used a graphite truss rod which was considerably lighter than a traditional truss rod and also considerably stronger. Ken is a genius.
I have a 98 Fly Deluxe and at one time owned a unfinshed deluxe prototype. It is/was my dream guitar that I purchased in the early 00's. Rarely does it ever leave its case, but it's always in tune. Truely an amazing instrument and so ahead of it's time (and maybe still is).
You can't go wrong with Lace tey are very good Pick up's. Never used their Humbuckers but I have Strats with Sensors in them, their superb as is your build. Thanks for sharing.
Have you ever thought about building a microtonal guitar? I think it would be really interesting to see what you could do to compliment the frets with the weirdness of the guitar build.
Regardless of thinness, it's a beautiful looking guitar! While your guitars may not be the most "perfectly" made, they sure some the most creative and fun designs around. Glad to see you're selling them, if they play even half way decent, they're truly unique creations of art. Keep on doing what you're doing! ;-) \m/
Nice build! In this case instead of a three way switch, I would have used a blend pot if that fit, otherwise a dip switch or one that slides. But this works too and it looks good.
You never cease to amaze with your work! I'm glad to see you are selling some of your work. I will definitely be buying one of your guitars in the near future. Congratulations on your incredible work!
Lace pickups are incredible man, even though you chose them because of the circumstances of this build, you made a great choice. They have a very unique sound to them. I use Lace Sensor single coils in all of my guitars.
Have you ever actually used a Lace Alumitones, though? I don’t know what Sensors sound like, but Alumitones were the most vile sounding pickup I have ever owned. His demo sounds expectedly awful because of them. Nasty shrill high end with no mid character at all.
@@j.j.1405 Not sure where you’re finding demos of obscure pickups like Alumitones. This was years ago. Bought them used and sold them again a week later to some poor soul. These days it’s pretty rare to find someone who’s used Alumitones and doesn’t think they’re trash. If you do find that person, you should forever distrust their opinion of guitar tone. Lol
Your work is so inspiring to anyone who likes to make stuff out of wood , if it wasn’t for your videos I never would have started trying to make (super janky) guitars myself
I'm not sure I'd like to own a super thin guitar(for sit-down playability)but I'll be damned if I wouldn't like to check one out. Well done as always brother.
Nice looking guitar. One option would have been to look for a low profile rotary switch but your solution of multiple volume controls for the pickups is also good.
If both pickups are always active, you're only getting half power from each regardless of where the volume is set. You can also use mini switches as on/off switches. Beautiful guitar!
I think it should be fine, the neck through design makes it very durable already and the neck itself isn't really much thinner than that of a normal guitar
That's beautiful man. I just built my first kit, and it turned out infinitely better than I expected. I'm going to do a few more, then built one from scratch. Super fun hobby! Again, beautiful guitar!
@kopfstandsnoopy Well, something don't matter, but guitar does. If you don't agree, try swapping a few pickups (i.e., Seymour duncan, LP classic 57) between a Gibson LP (or regular Ibanez RG) and a thin-line guitar similar (Ibanez, Yamaha, or PRS). You will noticed, the full range and basses will decrease alot in the thin-line guitar - while the regular LP will capture every sound (pickups + wood body). On the thin-line guitar, you only hear the pickup.
This would be brilliant as headless with some lightweight headpiece and Hipshot bridge - it can go fairly low with saddless and fixes any possible head dive, since... no headstock. But it would need a lightweight headpiece too. NEXT CHALLENGE: HOW LIGHT YOU CAN GO WITH A GUITAR (while retaining comfort while playing)
Exactly what I was thinking! I do love the build, but as a personal preference, I would like to see it headless and the body shape with less extreme horns, somewhere in a similar vein to strandberg guitars.
He built a Guitar from insulation foam a couple of years ago, that was very lightweight but quite bendy. He even didn’t had to use a tremolo arm. He could create the tremolo effect by bending the whole instrument! 😂
Though the builds are superb, I honestly watch through the process of the build for demo at the end. You're a brilliant musician bud and would like to hear more of you playing. Keep up the great content brother! 🇿🇦
Another video, another amazing guitar. If I could play guitar I'd love to have one of your creations. But, alas, when I got my first guitar and tried to tune it via the included pitch pipes I found I was tone deaf. Keep up the amazing work.
Unless you have a rare genetic condition, your ear just needs work, You can tune by ear and develop your pitch over a long time, Like I said, unless you legit has a rare genetic condition, but then music and holding a mental tune in your head would be impossible. Don’t give up, pitch and eat training can be some of the hardest stuff to learn
Broooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…. That is SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!! You did such a stellar job on that! Thank you for making this video and sharing the build from inception to plug-in. 😃👍
Interesting build, I personally favor X-shaped guitars such as the Gibson Explorer and that natural finish really makes your X design stand out. The idea is a little different than the S series from Ibenhad because those bodies are thicker at the center and then sculpted thinner since they use conventional electronics. The Lace Alumitone pickups are also a curiosity, I remember looking at them a long time ago wanting them for a build but I ended up not purchasing any. Also, Burls Guitar Company when?
I've started to see lace pickups around more and more. I have an idea for a partscaster I want to buy and heavily considering a set of Lace's Alumitone over some DiMarzio's, I just keep hearing good thing about those.
@@Fermonx The sound of Alumitones are little different from traditional pickups but fascinating as well, I don't think you would be disappointed unless you found the sound to be unpleasant after purchase.
Awesome build mate . Limba can be really beautiful but often has worm holes and depending on where it’s sourced and dried can be really unpredictable in terms of warping. ESP Going so thin it might be worthwhile reinforcing the neck with CFib
An absolutely beautiful instrument, no doubt! About the length of the body... it's possible to make it even shorter with a headless guitar design with the tuners mounted behind the bridge. There are some great headless tuners and hardware available by Hipshot and other manufacturers... with a 40:1 gear ratio the tuning is impeccable. Just a thought... and the guitar could be even lighter in weight! Anyhow, really enjoyed your video and wonderful guitar! Very cool!
I love my Ibanez S and SA models. Glad to see someone else building thin and light. Love the way it came out! The upside down Lace sensors offend my CDO but I understand why you did it. Do you think it sounded thin? If so, due to the Alumitones or the lack of mass or both? Best Regards and Best Wishes! Gratz on selling it so fast!
How severe is your OCD when you can type “CDO” and not have a mild stroke? Methinks perhaps your OCD isn’t much of a “disorder” 😂 That said, I still feel you dude. Upside down pickups threw me for a loop as well!
Looks beautiful and so well crafted. I think you can hear a little less sustain because of the lack of mass, but if you're not doing a lot of long note bendy solos it would still work great in many styles. For those that can't (or don't want to) hold a Les Paul all night, this is a unique and gorgeous choice! Bravo!!
The body didn’t have enough depth to hide the cables under the pickup or drill the holes to the control cavity from the low E side of the pick ups, basically.
Greetings! I finally took the time to watch this video, and I really like what you did with this build. It would have been really interesting had you angled the headstock, but that does require a bit more work to pull that off, however, if done properly, no string trees are needed and a good break angle can be established for the strings. The pickup selection was a good choice, you may have room for a mini toggle switch had you really wanted a selector switch, but you found a solution that is viable, however difficult to easily and momentarily switch from one sound to another, there may have also been another solution or more. The comfort carve makes the instrument appear even much thinner from that side. Overall, it sounds great. Thank you for posting these videos! Please have an excellent and awesome day! ☀️✨
Lace makes outstanding pickups! Maybe on the next build, continue with the thin concept, but with a Convex body structure, you can account for the space needed for electronics while maintaining the overall thinness of the guitar.

This guitar looks amazing!!! reminds me of old 70s and 80s album covers where guitars were spaceships. I love the angles and shape of this build!!!

Parker makes a very thin guitar been around for a pretty long while. I like his too.
It's a beautiful guitar, I'd be interested in a follow up video in a few years to see what the effects of the string tension will be
