Great build videos! Thank you for not adding over bearing annoying background music while showing us the true life of building a guitar. Mistakes and all!
Every choice on this build was so cool, even the mistakes that were resolved. The way the grain popped when you did the finish made me go "Oh!" (in a good way). That dark (almost black) finish looked like vinegar and steel wool. Your use of hand tools shows a great dedication to the craft, and I know those are challenging.
Wow, this guitar build is amazing! The way you’ve put everything together is truly impressive. From the choice of materials to the precision in the design, everything looks top-notch. I can tell a lot of care and skill went into this-definitely one of the coolest builds I've seen. Keep up the great work!
I was laughing out loud watching the ordeal with the magnets and switching to good ol' screws. Great to see the struggles and the bad and ugly. Nevertheless, the end result is beautiful!
I've always wanted a tele with a floyd. Now seeing this I think it will be one of my winter projects. I already have some ideas, not quite as elaborate as yours but still really cool! What a fantastic build! Your choice of woods and Gotoh parts... The video, showing all the individual steps was excellent! That's a beautiful guitar my friend and your craftsmanship top notch! 👍🏻
I just stumbled across your video, great guitar! I enjoyed watching your building process and video editing as well! The guitar not only looks great but sounds awesome as well!
Great job!!, I love how you use 3D printed pieces. I am building my own instruments and I print in 3D templates for cavities, nuts, knobs, even I have printed a radio sander device and it works perfectly. Your guitar looks amazing, thanks for the video.
Wow! Love seeing super capable people build things. When are you getting a small cnc?!?!?! I haven't built a guitar from scratch yet and probably should do it before going cnc but my head is aching, soul is hungry, to build a guitar with a cnc. And yes, Lee Nielsen is most definitely worth the investment! Good show, man!
I really want a CNC, but I convinced myself I'd have to go for an Avid machine. Buy once, cry once 😅. I agree though, best to build from scratch first before building with CNC.
@ I’ve been looking at shop saber for my cabinetry business but I kind of just want a table top machine for fun work instead of processing panels. By the time I’m into 4x8 or 5x10 with ATC and vacuum table, cost is more than I want to drop at the moment. Maybe a used desktop shopbot. I have seen those smaller Laguna/Powermatics used for a fair price. I’ve also considers building my own but haven’t calculated the cost savings over buying a used machine. Anywho, you’re clearly super capable dude. It’s awesome to watch!
@@DUY1337GUITAR at 1900 for reconditioned it might be worth it. I never really had an interest in the shaper origin till recently. Was a guy from New Jersey, forget his name, on UA-cam and he made really good use of it. Think I’ll hold out for a desktop 2x3. $5-6k gets a decent used non ATC machine. Resharpen my cnc skill on that for a while. It been a while since I’ve done cnc work. I miss it. Cool seeing you use 3D printed templates. Do you use fusion 360 for design?
As soon as I saw the book matched burl top I was in it till the end. It's really funny how we as humans are obsessed with how beautiful tree tumors are.
@@DUY1337GUITAR Yep! The tree gets disease, damage or environmental stress in some way and tries to wall the damaged section off from the rest of the tree, resulting in burl.
@@Steve-s4b Not meaning to be picky, but that doesn't fit the definition of a tumour, which is uncontrolled cell growth while avoiding programmed cell death. Granted one of those "deseases" a tree could get that creates burl could be a tumour. Unless the definition is different in trees, in which case, I'd be happy to be proven wrong. Still pretty hardcore though. I'm sure there's a deeper message to be had about being beautiful despite your wounds in there somewhere.
The edit, the takes, the result! Everything it's on point! What a incredible tutorial to start my first build! Can you please share the plans with me? I have my own design for the headstock and the body shape, but everything else (pickups position, bridge, scale, etc) are the same, so it's important to not screw things in the process lol I would like to share the process with you... I hope this petition doesn't bother you... Greetings from Colombia!
Amazing build man! I'm a huge sucker for super teles (Despite not actually owning one LOL.. eventually I'll find a old ESP neck through tele like Devin Townsend used to play) I'd have 100% done a monkey claw on the back of the trem route to reveal the wood layers. Also, black miniature poodle crew checking in. We're on poodle team #2 now.
Yup, some days those router tables will wake you right up! 🤣 I'm not a fan of those really big router bits. I prefer to step it down in small increments. Nice build, I'm finishing up my Tele with a Floyd myself. 😎
You are a true craftsman, using the old way of doing thins like planing a body blank with a hand planer, I have a question for you, what brands are your handplaners ? I am looking in to buying a couple of new ones soon.. thank you.
I own Lie Nielsen, Lee Valley, and Wood River. I did not like my Wood River, but the other brands were on backorder at the time. I recommend going for Lie Nielsen if you can. You can always sell it and recover a lot of the cost.
@@jasonhelms9410 I'm not sure I'm ready to open my building to the public yet, but hopefully one day. It's a painfully long process without big boy tools.
Dude, awesome work! Better than any Kiesel I've ever seen! Also, what's that sick trem spring plate with the allen wrench adjust? I need to buy one of those ASAP
Если кому интересно- изготовление этой гитары стоило ОГРОМНЫХ денег!! Это видно по оборудованию мастерской... Так что- если планируете заказать себе инструмент за тысячу долларов- приглядитесь лучше к Harley Benton.
From Amazon. They are 2-56 threaded inserts for plastic. If you get the ones like mine where it's split shaft, you have to hammer them in with the screw inserted, otherwise the inserts will squeeze upon installing
in video lable: Dog Me: checks out. Stunning work, you've come on a long way since your days of buying premade or stealing necks, in both building and editing. I mean, I've been watching since the dragon JEM XD Speaking of the neck, what's the thickness of that thing? just curious.
Bro, your editing had me rolling! Choir singing on the trem peg removal was hilarious. Beautiful build!
Bro, I like the way you show the struggle of building a guitar. We all human. We make mistakes. Keep the great job.
I don't know where you learned how to make guitars but you are gifted my friend. I could watch your video a 1000 times and still not catch everything
I learn from videos like these. I had to cut 95% of footage from 450 video clips. So much left out!
might be one of the most beautiful guitars i've ever seen
Great build videos! Thank you for not adding over bearing annoying background music while showing us the true life of building a guitar. Mistakes and all!
Amazing build! Love the editing and the fact that you kept some of the mistakes in.
That top is striking. Great work on both the build and the video.

I'm still mad about the magnets!
I find watching Guitar Builds to be very therapeutic which is why the anger bit cracks me up🤣
these edits are wonderful. thank you for sharing your love of making lots and lots of dust 💚
Damn bro! Didnt expected such a good playing! most builders have ok skills but you do it justice! Cheers from Mexico
Lotta work lotta sweat lotta joy good job look forward to your next one
Next video will be in a month or so
I know the feeling when the trem is tilted!
One of the most beautiful builds I have ever seen.
wow. what a cool build. I love the sound editing during the messups
That's disgustingly dope. Respect to you, man.
Thanks for labeling the dog, I was wondering what that was! 😃
Beautiful wood one this one. Very nice job.
Such a rad and beautiful piece! the Anger bits had me rolling LOL
Killer work Duy! It's awesome to watch you build these guitars. Keep em coming!
Currently working on a bass with the Nova bridge!
@DUY1337GUITAR siiick! Can't wait to see how it comes out 🤘
Nice job on making a blended concept your own! Looks and sounds great.
Wow! I am speechless!
Absolutely stunning! Impressive construction. It is pure art!!!. Congrats!
Master craftsman. Phenomenal workmanship throughout! Rare skills in modern life
Man this is awesome craftsmenship. Those Steel-Planes are sick

Oooooooo fck, it is simply beautiful! 😲 Amazing build, I wish I have it one time! :) 🥺👏
Immediately subscribed, excellent work, and amazing editing work.
That finish is great, makes me wanna have a telecaster
This is art.....he made big guitar companies look like a novice.......
Make a modern sg too...without neck dive...
What an absolutely beautiful instrument. Excellent work.
Great work man.
Love it❤
I appreciate👏
That is the only Tele style guitar I'd ever want to own, it's gorgeous!

Beautiful...I wonder why there aren't major brands doin such aggressive style tellies❤
I was covering my eyes at 9:27!!!!!
Stunning build. Thanks for sharing. Your finishing work is next level. Makes me want to try staining and spraying! ATM I just do oil finishes.
Im very happy with this. Very very nice job.
Ahah! And here is the guitar owner
Just exquisite design and craftsmanship! Well done!
Absolutely stunning. Instant sub!
That turned out to be a really beautiful guitar. Keep up the amazing work
IM AMAZED...... NOTHING MORE TO SAY.
Absolutely beautiful!!
Im ngl if i wasnt poor id definetely buy one of these from you. Sick asf man keep it up
Swapping magnets to screws was like "nah, too many sweats". And WHY ARE YOU KILLED LITTLE MAGNET HE DID NOT DESERVED IT
The magnet hurt my feelings
I'd be proud to play that at my next gig!
I think that this guitar makes total sens. Video was super funny too. Kudos
Man, that wood... 😍😍
It's very very beautiful, I love it
WOW! That is beautiful! Although, when you got to the staining, it would have been nice to add some colour.
jaw dropping and stunning masterpiece amazing work of art 🤯👏👏
Superb. Now I want a Ryng guitar.
Beautiful and badass.
Nice build bud! I am very jealous of all your tools you have some very nice stuff!
Holy dream guitar, thanks for posting.
Glad you shared your stress with us
Absolutely magnificent
Absolutely stunning guitar!
This tone was already great enough🤣
Bro, your work is Fn awesome! Amazing video.
Masterpiece 😍

No angled headstock? I'm reporting this video.
(Jocking, great video (and storytelling!), awesome wood skills, i'm following right now.)
Client didn't want, but I definitely want to do an accented scarf joint sometime
What an amazing job !
Great build , I would love too own one of your guitar's .

Never seen a fretboard radius done with a jig like that but I like it
Impressive
wow..I want one!!!!
Bellissima complimenti 👏👏👏👏
Where are your old videos? Remember watching them countless times!
They're at least 10 yrs old and not up to the quality I want now. Will try to fill up with new videos
@@DUY1337GUITAR Just rewatched them last year! So much nostalgia!
@@westbohan nostalgia is right, time is flying too fast!
@@DUY1337GUITAR It does! Do you still have the guitars you built 10 years ago?
@@westbohan Yep, a couple of them stored somewhere deep in the closet
Absolutely stunning!! what about the new screw system in the tremolo cavity? It come with the bridge itself?
The original trem claw came with the tremolo. The new one is the Schaller Sure Claw which I bought separately.
You are a true craftsman, using the old way of doing thins like planing a body blank with a hand planer, I have a question for you, what brands are your handplaners ? I am looking in to buying a couple of new ones soon.. thank you.

I'm here for the rage static sound effects
Amazing! That’s insanely impressive! Do you sell guitars you make?
Yeah, the guitars I made so far were made and sold for specific people
How can I get a quote on one very similar to this one?
Can I get one?
@@jasonhelms9410 I'm not sure I'm ready to open my building to the public yet, but hopefully one day. It's a painfully long process without big boy tools.
Best Machines and tools what you can buy 😊 good job. Greetings from Germany.

that deserve a subscribe!
It's about as far from a tele as it's possible to get but it is one fantastic guitar.
Great build. No gloves with rotary machinery please though!
Beautiful build and great video! Where did you get those threaded inserts for the pickup screws?
From Amazon. They are 2-56 threaded inserts for plastic. If you get the ones like mine where it's split shaft, you have to hammer them in with the screw inserted, otherwise the inserts will squeeze upon installing

Great build! I'm glad you didn't go with that penis-like headstock like it's typically done on telecasters
in video lable: Dog
Me: checks out.
Stunning work, you've come on a long way since your days of buying premade or stealing necks, in both building and editing. I mean, I've been watching since the dragon JEM XD
Speaking of the neck, what's the thickness of that thing? just curious.
I made it a modern C, so about 21mm at 1st fret, 22mm at 12th.
ちょーかっこいい！あと動画面白い。
