I hope you enjoyed watching this video. This was my first attempt at building a headless guitar. It is actually much the same as standard guitar build. The only difference is planning the build.
I am not completely satisfied with the end results. There is some color bleed into the pores of ash wood so the border lines on the top are not as clean as I wanted them to be.
It is only an aesthetic issue but I cannot sell this guitar for its full price because of it.
If you would still like to purchase this guitar contact me on my website and We can talk about special price:

לזה קוראים יד של מקצוען. הייתי מת לנגן על הדבר הזה. אלוהים ישמור אותך אחי
8:22 - 🤯 that is the tool I’ve always wanted and never knew existed!!
I would never of thought of inventing such a thing myself
W E L L D O N E, SIR!!
Thanks man! I'm happy you like the tool. Tag me on Instagram if you end up making it. I would love to see.
yes that raw sound of the tools is ear soothing!
Thanks man!
I never thought about whether this should have music or not but once you’ve asked for ‘my’ opinion(!?) I’m now pretty sure that I don’t want music (don’t ask me why😂)
😄 Thanks. It still helps.
I like the videos best with narration so that we know what’s going on. You’re doing a great job. Thank you. I’m subscribing now.
Lovely guitar. And I really admire the comination of technology and hand tool skills in your process - you have got the balance right IMO. You are a 'proper' craftsman as well as a great designer!
Thank you very much. This is so nice to hear. I'm flattered.
Super video. Really well shot and put together. I love the minimal talk-over and your guitar work is exceptionally innovative and creative. Thanks for the inspiration and entertainment.
Thank you very much ✌️
I like the "without music" style better. Hearing the sounds of the tools and the craftwork are soothing
Thank you very much.
Signed in just to say yes, greatly prefer the video like this with no music overlays. Really nice build too. +subscribed
Thanks Nathan. I very much appreciate it.
Wooowww...!!! Amazing.. nice video 😁👍👍👍
Thanks 😊
Yes. It is good without any music. I like the soft neck heel.
Thank you.
Yeah this is amazing! Your craftsmanship is incredible!
Stunning absolutely stunning! You’ve taught me a thing or 5 about the process in this video. Thanks for sharing!
That's awesome. Thanks David!
That's one of the coolest guitars I have ever seen.
Thanks Marty!
4:28 - Those Pants! :). You do beautiful work. I wish I could afford one of your guitars. Genius move with the magnets :) Thank You for the video and letting us look over your shoulder. Best Regards and Best Wishes!
Gorgeous looking guitar.
Thanks man!
I absolutely like videos like this without "packaged" music. I do, however, always like to hear with the instrument sounds like when it is played someone other than the builder.
Thanks man. I still haven't recorded a demo for this one. I'll post it on my Instagram when it's ready.
Awesome build. I would suggest to add a CNC to the workflow for accuracy on your design, for the body, the side curves, and it can also create the holes for the magnet cover perfectly aligned (I was worried they would not fit after all the hard work you put into them xd)
Beautiful work!
Thanks man!
i'm definitely making a sander like that. both. the drum sander on the drill and i like that tight fitting fretboard radius sanding block. that's my next project.
Awesome 🙂
I did enjoy that ... thanks !
Shrooms would go well with this . And play the guitar etc. some of your own .
That is a clean build! I especially like the cut-out for the jack, I'll need to try that on a future build.
Thanks man. I like the cut-out too. It really puts the jack out of the way.
clean simple bold design....so beautiful...
Thanks 😊
VERY cool video and very,very cool guitar! I enjoyed the "no music" format.
Thank Mike!
Отличная работа и оснащение мастерской!
Thank you very much.
I LOVE that body shape, great work.
Thanks!
Beautiful guitar, build, and video. I prefer not having background music. Thanks
Thank you very much.
Amazing! Love how original it is. Great job.
Thanks man!
Absolutely beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous bro👍🏻🤩
Thanks man!
Dude. I had to watch again. Great job!
Thanks man!
Amazing job, love the neck heel carve the most.
Thank you Daniel.
Class all the way here. Too notch!
Thanks man!
Wow. Beautiful job done! 👍🏻✨🌿🌍
Thanks for video!
Thanks man!
I like the shape quite a bit. The epoxy fill looks better on the fretboard than on the body, imo. Very precise way of building.
Thanks man. I appreciate your opinion.
I like the sound of the tools and working.
Thanks Rachel.
perfect job, I wish I had one of these ! Greetings from Brazil!
Thanks man. I will sell this one on a discount. Contact me on my website if you are interested. ( magicatticguitars.com )
Isso é trabalho, não as grandes marcas que mandaram pra china e lá se cospe instrumentos sem fim.

Dude… I am so sorry I didn’t see this sooner. Friggin beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful
Thank you Jim.
So talented, I was thinking I would miss the music but I did.
Quality build, can’t wait for your ggbo entry
Thanks mate. I still have no idea for the ggbo. I will probably do something under pressure of the last moment.
I would like to thank you for sharing one of the most ideas people in guitars building are thinking of. I salute you my friend and keep the great job going please and will support you all the way. Best Regards from ENGLAND 👍👏
Man you just made my day with your comment. Thank you so much. It means a lot to me. I will certainly keep on going. Best regards from Slovenia.
that neck is awsome
Thanks man! Feels nice too.
Master builder 🤟🤟🔥🔥🔥
Thanks man 🤘
Wow! This gives me some interesting ideas. Amazing.
Nice. Thanks man!
dude i really love how you choose different head style, i love how badass the guitar looks, and i really support musicless video, ASMR of woodwork is the greatest of them all!!

That's an awesome looking guitar
Thanks Jim!
Very cool. Just found your channel. Though you said it was a 3MW laser! 🙃 "Oh boy..we are going to see some cutting now!" I appreciate no music and just sound effects and narration. Love your work Sir. Best Regards and Best Wishes. Subscribed.
Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.
Beautiful work. So many wonderful & creative ideas.
Thanks Gerry!
I love your guitar builds! Keep on rocking!
Thanks Toni!
I like videos without music. Usually the music chosen is something that I really don't want to listen to, and makes me change the channel more often than not.
Thanks Scott.
Well done ! Beautiful job, a lot of it freehand: fascinating !
Thanks man!
linda guitarra , seu trabalho é o melhor , parabéns!!!!!!
Thanks man!
Did you spot that fly's cameo? xD.
Good job, man. I wish I had this talent and build my own guitars
Haha you are the first one who noticed the fly 😄 Thanks man! Talent is developed by practice.
So satisfying to watch 👍
I'm happy you like it. Thanks 🙂
Liked your video! Your channel is seriously underrated
Thanks man.
@@MagicAtticGuitars Your videos should get millions of views.
@@Jyotisha-veda I'm very happy you feel this way. It would be awesome 🙂
Great video. Stunning guitar.
Thanks man!
Amazing job!🎸🎸🎸🎸
Thanks man 🤘
Damn, dude, Ur guitars are beautiful
Just subbed

Beautiful work! and great video too!
Thanks 🙂
16:40 Hey man can you give us a shoot of your spraying booth? looks sweet. Awesome work, subscribed.
Can it solder? Can it cut? Weld? is it an accessory that lasers of your fret board to teach you? What type of laser?
Beautiful!!!
Thanks!
Super beau travail
Thanks
GOOD JOB MAN
Awesome video....!!!
❤️🎸
Thanks James! 🙂
Iam doing a headless now...and seen where I can do better...that Lazer is awesome!!! About to Subscribe 👍
@@James-qc1zq that's very nice. I'm happy my video was useful to you.✌️
Beautiful clean and the lines so 2022
Thanks 🙂
8:24 Brilliant tool.
Thanks. You can download free plans for this tool. Link is un the description.
Amazing👍👍👍🎸
Thanks 😊
Great content.. you encouraged me to purchase that engraver! But I don't known what Is the máximum Depth of engrave.. you could give me some enlightment about it
Thank you! It very much depends on the material and settings. It's impossible to give an general answer to this question.
@@MagicAtticGuitars For wood.. could I engrave a body or neck?
Yes sure. It also depends on the density of the wood. I was cutting 4mm thick walnut with it.
@@MagicAtticGuitars Pretty hard wood.. no jokes on it! xD
Excellent
Thanks
Great work! Enjoyed your video very much. What is the black plastic-like thin material you use for the body? What kind of silver powder have you used for the inlays? The look cool! Thanks
Thanks. The black material is a maple veneer that skateboard builders use and the powder is aluminium dust.
I like the video without music, it's relaxing.
Thank you Pedro.
Nice work man! I would almost bet, judging by your Eng accent, that you come from the small and beautiful country that has about 40km of Adriatic coast and a 2850m highest mountain. Can I ask why you opted for the glued neck, was it aesthetics or also sound? And did you make your own pickups? I have never seen that shape of pu's before. Last question :) ... what gauge strings did you put on. The low E looks like it's quite thick, like 54 or 60. Cheers
Haha true. 😄 I believe that set neck has an influence on a string vibration enhancing the tone and sustain. If the joint is made properly it is almost like necktrough.
Pickups were custom made by Gorilla Pickups. I highly recommend them.
Strings are just standard daddario 10s.
But the guitar is tuned to D# standard.
@@MagicAtticGuitars mam eno vprašanje, bi lahko jaz enkrat prišel pogledat tvojo delavnico? Nekaj časa se sam ukvarjam z nadgradnjo in servisiranjem kitar in me zanima kako izgleda. Seveda bi moral zdržat tud kako vprašanje ;)
I like your raduis jig!
Nice. Thanks!
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for the comment 😀
Awesome guitar man! I wish you could also make a demo for this beauty.
I like the video without music. But would very much like the video with your speaking explaining what you are doing and why.
Thanks. You wouldn't mind my weird accent and broken English?
This is awesome! Lovin this guitar build of yours! Cheers!
Thanks man 🤘
What is the Black material you glued between the body Back & body Top?
It adds a beautiful accent!
It's just a black veneer. Thanks!
Have you had any issues with the audio jack over hang behind so thin? I would be afraid of dropping the guitar and cracking it
Excelente Acabados y calidad 10
Thanks Jose!
Hey man! Came across this by chance and....that is a sterling job! Really interesting guitar, nice one!...I just got into headless guitars, they are great and that looks gorgeous bro.I have just got a custom headless 7 strings, but maybe in the near future....you have no order form for headless on the site; is that an unusual build ?
Thanks and very nice work.
🤟👽
Thanks man! I'm very happy to hear that. Yet it was ment to be a one time custom build, but it seems to be quite popular. So I will add it to my site soon. I would love to build one for you. Keep in touch. 🤘
What are those string locks you used behind the nut? I've been looking at different string locks but haven't seen those before. I like those a lot better than what I've been seeing!
Those are ABM.
I dream of a time when they will be able to fit the model of the exact action of the bend and overstretch of the string, the nut and the fan structure of the frets to a general formula with all the amendments. Such a guitar should be seven-stringed, balanced on the shoulder, light and resonant, and enriched with a B low note.
Well, of course, the neck pickup should be for accurate and final adjustment of the scale, after the guitar wood has dried, and it can be assigned the duties of a sustainer. It is from him that the tone must be taken, in order to measure the errors of the system, but these tones can also be extremely beautiful to the sound, if everything is adjusted and rebuilt.
Man this is very specific and I'm having hard time to understand it all. Thanks for sharing though.
@@MagicAtticGuitars The neck pickup delivers a signal that more accurately reflects frequency and doesn't have the dominance of harmonics that confuses a digital tuner's tuning. On a neck pickup, not only are measurements more accurate, but the harmonics and harmonics match the true tone exactly. All scale adjustments should be made precisely and only on a neck pickup.
Your guitar does not have a neck pickup.
Well, the second. The shift of the temporal order of the string on the fingerboard is subject to two factors: - additional string tension to clamp it at a certain fret - and shift of the oscillation breaking point, which depends on the thickness of the string and its elasticity. Therefore, the system will always have a different error on guitar strings of different thicknesses. You've probably heard about looking for equal tempo on the guitar. This is actually a problem that has not yet been resolved.
This turned out killer. You mentioned templates? Those for the Ortur or just to buy? I’d love some.
I can make templates for your custom design if that's something you would like. You can contact me on my website.
Ach, gdybyż można było dać 5, albo jeszcze lepiej 10 "like'ów" - dałbym z radością! Pozdrawiam z Polski.
Dziękuję Ci Papa Pluto :)
Hi !
Where can I find the template to frets distance (with scale in mm) ?
What is the distance between the frets and the neck pick up ?
Could You pleasr give me a link ?
Thank You !
Too many gadgets & tools are being used !! Lacking simplistic skills.
I'm a sucker for tools and gadgets:)
The lure of sponsorship makes him less crafty in the workshop and rather soul-destroying for us. I'd prefer a through-neck build for this type - for stability and that beautiful lamination down to the tuners!
reminds me of the black rangers battle axe from power rangers. they don't look anything alike but this could be a power ranger weapon.
Could be🙂 Thanks for the comment.
I love this
Thanks man!
How thick was the material for your templates? I heard MDF does not laser cut that well, what was your experience on that? Great video
what is the black plate coated on the wood ? Thnks,,.
I'm not sure what you mean. Tell me more please.
How much would it be for a Steinberger GM2T (Body and headless neck), but routed for a Floyd Rose?
I'm sorry but I don't do copies of other brands.
@@MagicAtticGuitars I understand. But I figured it wouldn't be a copyright issue with a Floyd Rose route. Thanks for getting back to me. If I wasn't legally blind, I'd try and make one myself.
Wow!
Thank you Jeff.
Lovely looking guitar. Which bridge and head piece are they, are they any good?
Thanks Ian. I'm using ABM parts. They are manufacturing high quality guitar parts in Germany. I like their stuff.
@@MagicAtticGuitars many thanks.
@@Cadmonkey no problem.
what type of spray have you used?
Very nice guitar where r they available to buy ?
Thank you Lorenzo. I am seeing them on my website ( magicatticguitars.com). If you are interested in this particular one contact me and we can arrange something.
making guitars with a laser cutter is cool ....but a guitar that makes lasers that cut would be cooler !!!!!!
A guitar making laser cutter that makes guitars. 😁
