- Welcome to Newill Guitars! 🎸 Join me, Patrick Newill, as I embark on an exhilarating journey to craft our latest masterpiece, The Grasshopper - our stunning new archtop model. Inspired by the elegance of Artinger Guitars' Elipsis Archtop, The Grasshopper is an expanded version of our original Dragonfly Singlecut, boasting a distinctive offset belly for added character.
In this exclusive video, I invite you behind the scenes to witness the meticulous craftsmanship and intricate steps involved in bringing a full archtop guitar to life. From hand-selecting premium Khaya, quilted Big Leaf Maple, and curly Maple woods for this exceptional instrument to showcasing the precise processes from inception to completion, you'll gain an exclusive insight into the dedication and artistry embedded in every facet of its creation.
Don't miss the unveiling of The Grasshopper - a true testament to the marriage of passion and precision in luthiery. Come along and join me on this enthralling journey of creation at Newill Guitars! 🎶✨

Bonjour franchement superbe guitare .un son d’une netteté incroyable elle est magnifique sublime bravo vous êtes un artiste merci beaucoup pour votre beau métier vous avez vraiment des mains en or .merci jolie vidéo avec des prises de vue magnifique 👍👍👍🙋🏻♂️🎸
Drop dead gorgeous. 😮😮
Thank you so much man!
I am amazed by the level of detail and craftmanship you put into your work. The video was a novel, but it was interesting. I would have preferred audible comments, or subtitles to the music, but all in all it was a good watch.
Thank you! Trust me... the last thing you want to hear is my voice ;) but ill consider subtitles in the future!
very nice resonant sound 🎸🎶🧡
Thank you! It's a joy to play!
Maaaaaan, freakin amazing brutha 🙏🏼🤘🏼
Thank you so much man!!!!!
Seems like a very languedoc inspired build. Beautiful build!
I like watching people build things.
wow!
Beautiful. I bet it costs a fortune and worth every penny. Congratulations, and well done.
Thank you! Depends on what your idea of fortune is ;) much more affordable than some custom guitars!
Nice idea using the drill press to carve the top, that may help me doing mine. It's a pensa/shur like.
It's the best way I know to get the depth just right along a contoured surface :)
that's one pretty guitar for sure
かっくいい！🤩
Genious
Uma obra de arte
appreciate that! Thank you!
Cool guitar mate! Where did you get the dimensions from for the fretting and width of everything? Some explanations of what stuff you used would have been good like the finishes and wood you used, but great vid! Subscribed!
Thank you! I have a bunch of templates from my other guitars that I've used for years. I took strat dimensions on my first guitars, and tweaked them over time to get to what I have now. A ton of trial and error
Like to watch makers build beautiful things and is a master at it. Never seen your videos. Dont know anything about guitars. Was not sure why what and how that presses of when you put all those holes in flat peace was for.
Thanks! I'm not sure which holes you're talking about, though.
@@newillguitars you laid down a flat guitar shape piece on the drill press and drilled around 30 holes then you sanded then out. If that makes sense
It is at minute 0936
@@crusherj3535 Ahhh, thats because the inside of the guitar body has a carve too to keep the curved body consistently .25" thick. I set the depth of the drill press, and drill the underside of the face of the front and back of the guitar to achieve that
@@newillguitars ok i was thinking somewhere on those lines but was not sure. Thanks for the reply
Nice work! What finish are you spraying, if you don’t mind sharing? Thanks
Automotive Polyurethane, It's a 2 part system
Question for you: at 1:14:45 or so, I recognize the contraption holding the guitar as something similar to the stewmac freehand holder with an attachment I don’t recognize (one part being the acoustic adapter). Did you add on your own part to this, and if so, what is it and how does it attach to the guitar?
Yeah its a homeade system. Its just a threaded rod attached to a few L brackets to make spraying much easier.
Dude that’s really cool - how does the L bracket attach to the guitar?
Attaches to the block where the pickup cavity is routed out with 2 screws@@mongur
Real sweet work. Very ingenious as well.
Very nice, you did not show us your technique tips for the tiger flame effect on the wood
The tree does that, not me ;)
@@newillguitarsok, maple for the top! Sorry, I'm acoustic
@@newillguitars LOL If you ever figure how the tree does it, let us know! Absolutely stunning instrument.
Gorgeous guitar sounds great too fender amp?
It's actually just a little peavey lunchbox head into a 1x12. Great little amp tho!
I don't know why, but I get the feeling that John Abercrombie would have liked this beautiful sounding guitar.
oh man..... if only! amazing player :)
Should ask to subscribe more often...
Thanks for such an insightful and useful comment
@@newillguitars
I can't answer cause I am obviously blocked...
exeptional but why the black at the end it killl the line
I'm not sure what you mean
I want your guitar
You can always order one ;)
rich kid does guitars. man, your equipment is nuts.
Thx for the assumption, it's not my equipment :P it's Artinger Guitars shop if you read the description :P
Maybe you couldn't reach the same quality even with a better equipment.
@@paolob8288 I'd also throw in there that I'm 32 years old. Not quite a kid lmao
I dont understand, metrical system is much better than imperial system, imperial system sucks. Its not preccission.
its just as precision as metric, albeit more complicated for sure!
@onemintjulep actually imp. would be superior if it was base 12. But it is not. Inches for rough work are measured typically in 16ths. Occasionally 32nds or 64ths. Precision work is measured in 1,000ths or even 10,000ths of an inch. Feet are commonly measured in 12ths, but maybe measured in other units. Neither metric nor imperial is better for singular measurements, as the both deliver very simular precision, accuracy and repeatability. However metric is superior when it comes to complex multi unit calculations as all units for temps, pressure, mass, distance etc are in the same base 10 regardless of the measurement scale.
It's why the vast majority of the world uses it, including the USA for scientific and most mass production purposes.
That said had metric could have been even better if it had been base 12 or even base 20 as originally intended.
Vidio membosankan
Then don't watch it!
@@newillguitars
@@newillguitars actually I didn't want to watch it, because your video passed on my homepage
understand!!!
очень красиво!
Really love the double Maple binding on both the top and back of the guitar
Thank you, man!
