Walnut TELECASTER Build
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 гру 2022
- This is my first ever electric guitar build. The guitar was built from scratch using European Walnut for the body, Australian Blackwood for the neck and Red Box Wood for the fretboard. The pickups are Fender Tex Mex Telecaster pickups, the bridge is a Wilkinson compensated three saddle bridge and the tuners are Gotoh vintage tuners.
I went into this project without knowing the ins and outs of guitar building and had limited knowledge on what was in store for me. Despite this I learned a great deal along the way and hope it inspires you to give projects like this a shot as well. Enjoy!
Pure craftmanship from start to finish.Stunning work.And no daft music or inane chat.Just honest workshop noises.Impressive video.Beautiful instrument.
😊
Well yeah, but if it wasn’t for computers and CNC machines we be paying through the nose 👃 for our guitars 🎸 today.
That was one of the nicest 27 minutes I've spent in a while! Nice build, beautiful work. You made it look easy. I hope you make more.
Thanks mate, appreciate it! Stay tuned for future builds for sure 👍
😊
@@greensguitarsI want one!!!!
amen
@@greensguitars привет! мне нравиться название твоего канала...бро!🤣 ты продаешь сделанные тобой инструменты!? спасибо!🙂
There is nothing on this guitar that isn't truly stunning. The wood colors and grain.....wow. Excellent work!!
Wow, thank you!
Your first build?? Wow. That's stunning. You sir are a true artist.
Being a retired woodworker and a guitarist This is a perfect thing for me to try Always wanted a Tele.
That Tru Oil is a great "go to" finish for natural wood. It really brings out the color in the body. Nice work!
Thanks 👍
@@greensguitars hi from Epernay, France. Please, what kind of jig did you use to round the curves with your drill ! Thanks
I bought a 20 piece drum sanding kit from my local tool shop which seemed to fit the need well
Tru oil are sticky on neck from my experience
Fantastic job, but TruOil is really a varnish and is slightly glossy, can be sticky. I've found that the best for necks is genuine tung oil (not "tung oil finish") cut 50/50 with mineral spirits. Apply, wipe off, dry overnight repeat the next day. Dry again. Then two coats of quality wax. Silky smooth, no warping problems to date.
Anyone else just loving the white pickguard!
So simple, so tasteful
I’m glad you like it!
I must say, this is one of the finest guitar constructions I have come across!
Wow! For a first build I’m Really Impressed! I’m a retired broke down old furniture maker, but I’ve always wanted to make a guitar. I think you just talked me into giving it a go? Thanks 👍🏻
That’s very rewarding to hear!
Amazing. Personally I think gold hardware would look much cooler on a dark wood with a black pickguard.
Ya, that would look really good as well.
Agree on the gold hardware. Seems to look best on natural and see-thru finishes.
Agree 👍💯
Gold hardware is like a gold tooth... it never looks good 🤓
@@sergiomatievich Bullshit.
Loved every minute of this! Superb workmanship ❤
A thing of beauty. Bravo sir.
Great build … great to see someone use “ordinary big box tools” to produce such quality of work 👍👍👍
Awesome built man! I so envy people with the space to have tools and skills to use them in such a beautiful way!
This Tele is pure perfection start to finish.
Amazing craftsmanship. A true work of art!
Great work - it's beautiful, and sounds lovely.
loved the whole process , the guitar looks absolutely stunning ❤️
I never even skipped the video. Wow. What a piece of art
What a beautiful build what a talented craftsman this man is truly amazing what some people can do!
Well done - I loved that you used unconventional woods for the neck / fingerboard - a fearless approach. The final product looked really nice and sounded great. Can't believe that is your first build!
when he fretted the board before putting it onto the neck, i realized this had to be his first build...😂 but looks great nevertheless!
@@jimi272 For me it where he didn't drill the body holes before scrubbing the template off. That was dumb.
How wonderful to see it done mostly by hand.
You keep developing your woodworking skills that way and not relying on machinery all the time.
Thank you very much!
The end result is great! Kudos to you for making such a beautiful instrument
Thank you for sharing. The guitar looks and sounds amazing.
Great job! Beautiful pieces of wood. It looks and sounds amazing!
Gorgeous wood and beautiful work!
Simply BEAUTIFUL, PERFECT!
Beautiful guitar!!! Fabulous workmanship.
Awesome work, great effort documenting it all so well 😊
I love the fret cutting jig you made using the top edge of the saw as the stop, quite clever. I think the fretboard is probably the most terrifying aspect of attempting a build like this. Maybe that and all the chiseling! thanks for sharing, great video.
This has inspired me to want to build a guitar from scratch like this. Always wanted a 60s style telecaster, so why not build it! Amazing work..
Wow.. This is a master piece of guitar build.
Great achievement building yourself a guitar from scratch. Looks and sounds great. You should be very proud of yourself, well done
Proper craftsmanship, many luthiers these days are just assemblers, you appear to have a gift and I for one look forward to seeing……..and hearing more of your guitars.
Thank you! More builds are coming so stay tuned 👍
Stunning! A work of art!
Absolutely incredible. Thanks for sharing 🙏
A beautiful custom telecaster with a great, individual sound. I would love to see more custom build's like for sale.
Nice build! I love walnut, and tele's.
Absolutely beautiful. Well done!
Beautiful work and craftsmanship. Fantastic!
That is a very beautiful guitar. Well done.
Awesome job!!! Beautiful Telecaster!😉😉

This guitar looks absolutely gorgeous on camera! Fantastic wood choices!
Thank you!
Wow. You're such a skilled dude and a big inspiration to me. Thank you for this build. It's an amazing piece of work ❤
Such a beautiful guitar! You have to be proud of yourself 😊 Amazing.
EXCELLENT WOOD! Walnut is my favorite too.
Pure art. Congrats!
Oh how valuable this work is and its beautiful, priceless effect..
Walnut is so underrated. I have two and they are both great.
Some pedal steel guitar builders in the USA use walnut as well.
I have a walnut lap steel.
High quality walnut is very expansive ( used mainly in top quality fire arms) , yes its a very nice wood.
Absolutely beautiful work.
Wow! That’s a very nice guitar build! That’s is inspiring ! I have done some DIY kits but I never had the curage to built one guitar from scratch ! You are giving me the right path to go! Thank you for sharing your experience ! 👍
Great Work! It's fantastic to see the whole process. You have a nice sound at the end there as well.
Thanks!
Excellent build! I really enjoyed watching your process and skills. Thanks for posting this video and sharing your talent.
Wow, what an instrument. Very well done!
Beautiful work.
I want to order you to make a guitar like that.
Please let me know its price and payment method. I'm from Vietnam.
Looks like it weighs 20 pounds
I built a walnut feel after seeing this and i had to hollow it out and add contours
I made one like this. It’s heavier than other guitars, but not terrible.
Think of the sustain
The Telecaster the Queen of all guitars all the way !Fantastic work
Expensive work done by passionate people 👍
OMG, this is the guitar I have always thought of in my head. Well.done!
thank you for making. been dabbling for years with building. I wish I had some of my projects on video but setting up the camera and editing it all together is BY FAR the hardest part. so kudos to you and great work!
A beautiful piece of craftsmanship and video. Well done.
Couldn’t stop watching. Turned out great!
Awesome. Stunning. Beautiful.
That's a thing of beauty great work, sounds crisp too
All I can say after watching this is.... Wow. Amazing craftsmanship
Outstanding workmanship
Fabulous. Sounds as nice as it looks. It must be immensely satisfying. Thanks
Beautiful guitar. Very nice job. Sounds awesome.
stellar craftsmanship .. .
Excellent work on the guitar and excellent video. Really like how crafted it with only a few basic power tools. The video is a complete tutorial on the steps involved. Great work IMHO.
Beautiful build.
I am blown away! Such precision, magic and depth of presence. What a guitar. Astounding process. Thankyou for displaying such creative mastery.
Wow… Thank you!
so peaceful and beautiful. thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
absolutely beautiful, great job!!
That is a DAMN fine looking guitar. Great work. I am in awe.
Amazing skill you have! Beautiful guitar!
This was so nice to watch. As a new owner of a tele I’m glad youtube suggested your channel. There is something about the guitar having no brand on it that I love.
A fantastic effort and a beautiful tone.
the best tele build video ive ever seen! thank you so much for this gem of a video!
Brilliant craftmanship
Something about that body with the lipstick pickup just manifests the tele sound every time awesome job pure craftsmanship
Love the sound, and of course the looks
Lovely...beautiful warm tone...
I personally would have opted for gold hardware, gold lipstick p/u, black bridge and no pick guard. Still a very beautiful, professional build from start to finish... BRAVO!! ❤
Absolutely beautiful guitar. Well done!
The perfect axe. Much respect.
Wow . I absolutely love this guitar
Glad you like it!
Utterly beautiful
I’m glad I watched that. Truly wonderful!
Beautiful piece of work.
Excellent video, gorgeous build. Sounds good too! I learned a lot.
Gorgeous guitar. Well done
