crossbreed between a guitar and bird house. I like it 👍
lol, interesting point of view!
@@ScrapwoodCity О, йес, йес - ,, гёрл"!
Fun how this guy builds a guitar out of wood. Has got to sound good.

That sample play in the end was 🥶🥵🔥🔥
When your wife doesn't want you to buy another guitar:
mm widze że polak XD
I'm in this comment and I don't like it
then . Why do u marry . Complete your partial job and goal first😂
Jajaja thats rigth.,
*sells wife to some Puerto Rican guy, and buys custom shop strat* 😎
I've been watching your channel for 4 years and always find your builds inspiring.
I am very glad to hear that, thank you very much!

Almost no tools, recycled materials… Simply spectacular! I love it!
thank you
Aleatronic ua-cam.com/video/F5u7XrT-BGo/v-deo.html
Fantastic of you to show people how to make one! I like the rough-and-ready finish, it's actually looks like it's been made by a resourceful "amateur" rather than a "craftsman".
Thanks. I think I belong to the second category anyway! :)
0:24 Wow, this man is really fast at work
Yeah dude, imagine if you speed up the video... Woah it could ve even faster!
If anyone is gonna comment, its sped up... I'll be saying this in advance
R/whoosh
@@klarenzcobie6595 ha ha brilliant
r/wooooooooooosh
Its fake! He cant actually work that fast he just speed it up!
That was lovely, Dimitri! I have made a couple of cigar box guitars and three stringed strumsticks, but even if I fret them diatonic I can't play them nearly that well. Sounds very pleasing for being made from such humble materials. Brilliant!
Thank you very much my friend! :)

Him: *needing to perfect the frets*
Me: *laughs in fretless*
XD nice comment!
Hahah, that's awesome, I'm about to make a fretless guitar
WOW... after building many Cigar Box Guitars with cigar boxes and with license plate and self built cases this project keeps jumping into my mind.. i think i will do this little guitar my friend because it seems to be so fun to build with ready available wood and fun to play too.. thank you for your inspiration .. Hi from Italy
Nice to hear that. Thank you
I love how you have the time to build and practice that
Hey that was old school SWC - the mitre box, the little plane, geometry. All that missing was the old music! And maybe Scrappy. Great job mate.
Thanks Mark, I guess going back to the roots is kind of vital sometimes!
I always wanted to do something similar in childhood.
Same
Tbh I think it’s just cheaper to get a cheap electric
2:30 just casually adds another hole to the table

I don't think he cares..when it gets ruined he biy a new plank and repair it.
as a guitar player, this hurts my eyes.
as an artist, this brings joy to my soul.
Lol! Nice
After seeing this, I built a CBG with 1/8th" maple frets. The darn thing actually plays. What fun!
nice to hear that!
If you could tune those dollar store guitars and make them sound good, that's what this sounds like. Super cool! You are great at what you do. Keep it up!
Wow that's so simple but really nice, you played it really well too!
Awsome build! I love the sound of this guitar!
thank you!
It's now 02:29 in the morning and as soon you started playing this i have a huge beaming smile on my face i am happy!!
Thank you
Esta guitarra tiene un sonido mas hermoso que la otra, buen trabajo. Saludos.
👏👏👏 looked forward to seeing/hearing you play your DIY guitar. 👍 Impressive! I liked the demonstration
. 😀
Cool! Even the theme you´re playing in the end is very nice. Congrats!
This instrument should be on a shirt of coffee mug. This video is in your top 10 best. Thank you Sir.
Thank you very much
It sounds like a shamisen! I love it!
Love that there aren't any expensive laser-guided or specialty tools being used here.
Great idea skills...love that you got intonation good and that last note of vibrato.
That's very good. Excellent work
I like the chunkyness of this! I am going to make a bombproof box instrument to keep in my gear, I like the way this sounds, and using wood frets is neat-o! Thanks!

Very cool. You and Tim Sway are cool dudes.
Awesome job, mate. 👍
And a nice little sample at the end. 👌
Sounds great.
Thank you
the video you did a while ago that was basically this is the thing that got me here. neat to see you do something different with it. i'm kinda blown away that wood frets actually work! :o
Thank you. Yes they seem to work fine with nylon strings
Excelente vídeo y una artesanía fenomenal felicitaciones amigo desde Colombia en el sur de América.

The birdhouse must be returned to the birds!
lol
Funny. 🤣
Looked good while being made. Sounds great! 👍
thank you
Estupendo,magnifico trabajo...!!"👏👏👍
Thank you
Thanks for sharing! Really nice job! 🙂🙂🙂
that mafker sounded dope!
Great use of hand tools.
This guy actually pay attention to use basic tools in DIY that every one can build stuff. Very often there is DIY in title but build is carried out with proffesional machinery.
Tu desempeño es muy bueno. Agradecemos sus explicaciones. abrazos...
Love it!!!! Thanks!
Vi com desconfiança o seu método construtivo, mas o resultado foi excelente!
thank you
The most interesting dude in the world 🤙
Sweet instrument :) Congrats!
Thank you
Nice build. Somebody watches DiResta clips. This is a nice weekend project. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you
It sure plays well. Well done
I guess it does the job. Thank you
Nice build & it has an interesting sound to boot! Well done SWC.............. :)
Thank you
Perfect. So Nice!
Thank you
I know it was supposed to be a low buck build, but some aquila reds are like $8.99 for a four pack. Single most important part of the sound.
Sounds lovely something like banjo.
Μια κιθάρα καθαρά από scrap wood. Πολύ σε χαίρομαι όταν παίζεις με τις δημιουργίες σου !

@@beesong2729 I refuse . To fix this because I'm just going to sleep it wrong again
Looks like one too in a way
theres just something deeply entertaining about sped up footage of someone using a hammer
I hope so. Thank you
Interesting choice of frets

What exactly is the purpose of the bridge-like thing glued to the inside of the soundboard? I thought that would be the bridge but then you glued it the other way round
it provides extra support against string tension!
What is the difference between a small guitar and a ukulele?
