I made this full build video, because: Firstly I felt that the last one was too long with over 26 min, so I made it way more shorter (15 min only). And I wanted to make this video without explaining anything, to give the tools the stage to say what they wanna say. I hope you like it and share it with your friends. Many thanks for watching and stay tuned for the next build!
You should do both. ( easy for me to say) But sometimes I love the long version of a build. With all the explanation and the tools explained. Sometimes I like the quick version because I’ve watched so many instrument builds on UA-cam and elsewhere that I’m like; yeah yeah...bla bla bla..... but I really enjoyed this video. Beautiful guitar it was quick ( for me the viewer). For you. Longer than fifteen minutes 😂😂😁. Again, thanks for sharing man!
1. this turned out absolutely amazing! 2. dont shy away from longer videos. on many scenes i wished to see a bit more of the process to understand it better 3. id love to hear more about the finish technique u used since it really turned out amazing!
Unfortunately the algorithm of UA-cam doesn’t allow me to make longer videos that’s why I do short videos as much as they can Thank you for your time and watching. You can still watch a longer version on the channel
Somehow I find it very relaxing watching an exceptional craftsman such as yourself work, great job! I really love the wood you choose for the body!👍🎸🇨🇦
@@Kleyguy7 i might be wrong but i think the effect is good (amped Root vst), the clean isn't good by any means but it's bearable, the distorsion just brings all the imperfections of the pick-up and boost them
The body of this guitar is exquisite! A minimal stain was the way to go, for sure-and the brass hardware was an EXCEPTIONAL match for it. One of the prettiest Strat-style guitars I’ve seen in a while. Well done, mate.
Using that Forstner bit to cut the truss rod spoke wheel shape into the heel is genius! I've not seen that done before. I will use it for my first build soon. Thanks for the video!
An awsome beautiful handcraft guitar with complete disciplined works and lastly a mind blowing music. A God gifted hands and wonderful talent. Just loved to watch you. 💞💞
Your a great luthier. Not sure how long you've been building but looks great. Getting every detail setup right after the build is what makes a 500$ guitar a 10,000$ guitar. The fretwork, nut, intonation all must be worked to perfection. I'm sure you already know this, but it's all I can emphasize. Great build brother, and nice video.
@@BaradaGuitars I didn't mean to sound snarky. Your talent is obvious. I started building 25 years ago, and that's the one thing I learned was put as much into the setup as I did the build.... That's all. Keep on keeping on brother.
Start with a kit, or assemble from parts. It's a lot of fun. I intend to build one from scratch next. I have a chunk of wood waiting to make the body from....
@@alextaylor6216 Shit, I would have never thought of that, I only have one Credit card and its for guitar center, so probably not that bad if I cant use it anymore haha
Well, you convinced me! *I'm going to get busy with Fusion 360 again to finish mastering CAD and CAM so I can use my mill to do 95% of the work you just showcased! lol.* I'm sure I'll build a few by hand to get started but at the point I want every feature and elite scale of material and quality, I'll trust my CNC to do the bulk of it. I'm already planning to mill and build a lot of my own hardware like tremolos and eventually, string winches.
The most beautiful Strat I ´ ve ever seen!....and what a sound! You are à Magician !! Thanks for the post ! From deep south of France, C.&Chelsea the Dog limited edition !🐉🔭🐲
@@BaradaGuitars i should be thanking you. That guitar is a feast to my eyes. I'm always a les paul fan, but you opened my world to a possibilities of buying a strats. Cheers to you.
This is really special and why so many love UA-cam. Such attention to detail and expert craftsmanship. What a wonderful guitar and so relaxing to have watched it come together in this and the separate, longer vids. Liked and subscribed for more of this stuff.
All the tools you have in your arsenal, they deserve you. You're an artist~! Great build with impeccable perfection and finish. Very well executed presentation too. Lots of love from India :)
I was so touched watching your great job . You are just like a splendid magician . I can do some minor repairment of my guitars , but I can never make a guitar myself . I'd like to make my original guitar someday . Thank you .

So, do you build on request? I really liked what I saw and heard.
A beautiful piece of work.

@@timothycormier3494 if you click on the channel, you will find the same build with 26 min version and 2 hours version.
Thank you for watching!
What body material sir ?

Thank you very much!
It looks great but I always like to hear how it sounds clean rather than with effects. I think you get a better idea of how a guitar sounds that way.
You can click on the channel and see the full detailed build and hear the clean sound of all the 5 way switch options.
Many thanks for watching!
I have a squier Bullet strat that sounds alright in clean, but when you use effects it's juste god awful, so imho both are important
@@valentinroux7448 Then the effects are awful, not the guitar.
So unfortunate that he couldn't pamper to your singular opinion/expectations of what a generic guitar review should be.
@@Kleyguy7 i might be wrong but i think the effect is good (amped Root vst), the clean isn't good by any means but it's bearable, the distorsion just brings all the imperfections of the pick-up and boost them
First rate materials, first rate hardware and tons of hard graft! Really well done on this one!
Many thanks!
Great video...no talking or goofy music. Just the build. Thanks

I appreciate that!
Many thanks
It is like a therapy watching you craft that guitar.
Glad to know that!
Thank you
Breathtaking axe. A pleasure to watch you create it. Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic custom guitar, beautiful to look at and I bet it's a joy to play too in the right hands.
This is one of the best builds I have seen, congratulations on a great guitar 🎉
That lumber you chose was a fantastic choice, especially just letting the grain do the talking for its finish
Thank you!
@@BaradaGuitars Is the body wood Black Limba, or Ambrosia Maple?
Beautiful instrument, clean crafting and finally, beautiful video !
I've seen many guitar building videos, this is the best by far, incredible craftsmanship and detail
Many thanks! I appreciate that
@@BaradaGuitars you are welcome
Using that Forstner bit to cut the truss rod spoke wheel shape into the heel is genius! I've not seen that done before. I will use it for my first build soon. Thanks for the video!
Fantastic Build! This guitar is like Gold in your hands! Love the spalted maple body! Thanks for making this Video short.It was a wise move.Salut!
Man! Shaller really does make beautiful hardware! That’s a beautiful guitar dude!!
Fine work!! Thanks for sharing!!
Yes schaller does make amazing hardware with German Quality

It seems so easy to realize when we look at your magnificent instrument you have all my admiration bravo!! superb guitar
Fascinating. Respect! And good video length too for those of us who want to see the process, but not every single detail.
Thanks a lot!
What a beautiful guitar, a work of art, it sounds so nice
So beautiful and inspiring. I am just getting into building guitars and this is amazing. Nice work!
Many thanks
Man, That guitar is stunning!!

That is a beautiful guitar Barada. I am not a Strat fan really but this particular one looks utterly sublime.
Many thanks
I never thought to wrap my sandpaper around a cylindrical object while sanding inside the horns before. Brilliant move, thanks for showing me that! xD
Es preciosa... que tengo que hacer para tener una así?
Thank God, no pickguard ! The wood is
Beautiful. Great job.
Thank you
Love that format of video it's quick, effective, everything is clear and we can learn without watching you make the slot on the full fretboard XD
Thank you for appreciating the editing work!
Wonderful video. It was quite relaxing watching you work. The outcome is exceptionally beautiful and sounds incredible!
Many thanks, I’m glad you like it
Man a home built guitar to every spec that suits the player is guitar heaven and could be cost effective. If I had the tools id be at it all the time
What a great instrument you did!
Congrats
Work of art, sonically and visually.
Barada Guitars amazing 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿, I’m from Brazil
Damn, this makes me wish I could build guitars, looks so interesting!
Thank you for appreciating my work!
Start with a kit, or assemble from parts. It's a lot of fun. I intend to build one from scratch next. I have a chunk of wood waiting to make the body from....
Love those gold bits with natural wood, bravo♡♡♡
Thank you!
Great attention to detail ! I wish my worshop looked so neat and tidy.
That kind of color of guitar is the most I like..wish I had someday... GOD BLESS BRO. from Philippines
Incredible job in the video shooting and editing. Quick, to the point and not a boring moment.
Also, amazing looking guitar
I always study a lot with your videos.Thank you.
Dude that magnet backplate is fucking genius, It made me smile.
Glad to know that!
Thank you!
Just don't leave any ID or credit cards in Your pockets - those nasty little neodymium magnets can make them unreadable...

that is an absolute beauty. well done mate!

Fantastische Gitarre, so eine hätte ich auch gerne. Absolute Arbeit, besser geht es wirklich nicht.

Awsome work. Love the fact of being one piece of wood only for the body
That neckbuilt...! Love it
Great work man!!!, the same build but with the body with some green, black, grey or other color and same setup would have look even better!

Sem dúvida alguma um trabalho maravilhoso show demais 👏
