i really need a tutorial video for this kind of guitar...

I love how you're so brutally honest about your mistakes. :)

I really like that body shape, those cutaways look like they provide awesome upper fret access, especially with that heel carve.

Limba and wedge would be a great combo - the idea of a Wenge neck is awesome

for fire - yellow guitar with a red fretboard is really unusual and will have a real impact - not that the other option is bad

Yellow and red sounds wonderful. Don't hesitate jump for it. Limba is a real Kool wood and looks beautiful let the four winds blow. Mysterious is very sexy.

Definitely spalted maple on the 1st one. I like the yellow and red too. Black Limba is definitely a good choice too. The Padouk looks good. And the Wenge. I have a feeling these gitars are gonna look badass. I've never seen a giutar with an oak neck. You're right it'll probably be heavy, but I bet it'll be quite stout. Here in Appalachia I'm constantly always having to tweak my maple & mahogany necks after winter. There's 51% humidity now but that's about to change here real soon. It will fall into the teens and even with my humidifier I can't even put a dent in it. Tweaking truss rods & filing fret ends are one thing, but once I had to pull all the frets on a guitar and replane the fretboard! Anyway, I see some WEN cases back there. I've got some WEN tools here. Not for building guitars, I'm not good with wood lol. I just do minor stuff. Guys like you who build guitars from scratch, I call you guys "wood wizards" lol. I'd love to learn but I live in a 1 bedroom duplex so I don't really have the room. Okay, I'm rambling, yes this is gonna be interesting. I can't wait!

I also like the Limba

Just chiming in for the air guitar. My thought on it would be to just use mainly light colors with some nice grains and then possibly add maybe some grayish shades across to simulate clouds. Like if one was looking at the sky. Someone earlier mentioned epoxy usage so you can mix some different grey tones to simulate haze and possibly a little light blue to have sky peaking through. Hope this sparks something. I’m sure it will look amazing.

Dude. Yellow? Idk. I like red and blondie. But there is a very clear choice for the baritone. Go with your instinct there 1000%. Make it a baseball bat Warwick wenge neck. I think the neck on my thumb -5 bass has a lot to do with the “growl” Warwick sound. It doesn’t have to be quite as enormous, but not a thin fast neck. Beefy slow neck. But that long scale neck in all wenge will look really fucking cool against the blue. Like a pirate ship against the Caribbean waters. Carry on

so many choices! love them all.

Damn. This video made me realize I need to step up my wood game. This is good shit right here tho. So jealous of your work now. 🤘🏼🔥

a lot of nice woods!! my choice would be: For Earth: definetely spalted maple, for Fire: I would like red guitar with the blond fretboard and for water: If you don't mind to share my experience: test the blue dye upfront, I once made an oak body for a guitar and I stained it blue, the final colour turned out to be black with some small streaks of grey....so I would suggest to start with a light blue on the black limba.....looking so much forward to the builds...all the best to you!!

i‘m just wondering why you would invest many hundreds of dollars and countless hours of work in guitars only to give them away to basically random people on the internet? i don’t criticize, i really want to know why you’re doing this? you got some nice pieces of wood there ❤

analysis paralysis. no wrong choices there really, i like the idea of the yellow fire guitar with the paduk neck. and obviously you have to use that spalted maple.

Thank you - I really enjoyed this - I use recycled wood where I can, so often struggle to get good matches that work. I like wenge, so pleased to see that. For me, a full wenge neck is quite a strong look. Are laminated neck off the agenda? I would cut a wenge fretboard and a wenge central spine for the neck blank and use the roasted maple for the sides - so a three piece neck blank. Looking forward to the next one Cheers

When people play "air guitar" it's an invisible kinda thing, so very apropos 🫥😂 Would some clear acrylic pieces be possible to work into the air guitar? I know nada about guitar building but clear acrylic is so interesting in any form. Seriously, the yellow guitar would be "fire" as my teenager would say. All of them are gonna be amazing! Fantastic creativity. **Looked it up, I guess the proper term for acrylic is epoxy resin, mixed with wood. Lol... like I said, I know nothing about the subject, but they look amazing.

For earth, I would go with the ash and ebony

Very nice choice of wood.would be an honor to own one of your Guitars. Talk about a show and tell to all my friends. Sweet for once in my life let me win.

What effect would teak wood have?

I'm not good enough to record anything really but I'll say that so many people concentrate on the art form of a guitar. I build, I know. A guitar is a tool a functional piece art, but it must synch with its owner. Some times it takes a little while to meld with it and realize the guitar you have, regardless of price or color is just awesome.

When is the deadline to submit.

These are gonna be amazing

Thank You for the opportunity. Great work you are doing,well done.

Very awesome idea dude 😊 love the ethos behind these builds and the inspiration. Look forward to seeing how these turn out. I love the idea behind the fire build the most.

Hope I win!

Cheers from Canada

Just came from an Instagram ad. This is one of the coolest ideas I've seen from any independent guitar builder. Good luck to everyone! 🫶

These are going to be cool

Do we send music to you or upload to a platform like RUclips or something?

Interesting. As sommeone who has been playing for 47 years, my take on this is that I believe the neck is the most important part of the guitar. If you do not have a good playing, comfortable neck, you might as well not even have a guitar. I believe that once the neck was replaced on Thesius' guitar, and the neck was different, ie different shape, different radius, different frets, it was no longer the same guitar. With that being said, the 1st guitar looked the most suitable to my playing. The scale length, the pickup combo. The headless looks nice but having only a bridge pickup means less tones avalable to me, and I like to have a lot of tonal options. The ergo-horn sounds interesting. I stay away from baritones because as a lead player the frets are too far apart and I really have to stretch to play whay I would normally play on a regulaar scale guitar. But they all look interesting. I'm going to enter so thanks for the chance.

Would love to win one of these guitars!

I'm excited

Wow! Thank you for this opportunity!!

I am excited by your unique approach to guitar building and I'm looking forward to seeing/hearing the finished products!

Can’t wait to see what you come up with man. Love the videos. Keep it up. Hopefully I get lucky.

I would Love to have one to show to all my friends and convenience them to get one.

I love the concept and your approach to the contest - never seen anyone set up a content this way

Looking forward to see them 👌🏼

Came for the giveaway, stayed for the philosophy lesson 🤝 Honestly, the ship of theseus is my favourite thought experiments, awesome designs btw🤟

wow!

I notice the wall of guitars behind you have NO POINTY guitars =/ I just built my own RRV Bass Guitar because Jackson refused to, as a Bass player I am SICK of looking at 1953 regurgitated until the year 3000... I don't Need to WIN a guitar I can build my own = have a look at the uploaded video in my list if U R bored

The ship of Thesius as a guitar to open? Yessssssssss - so good. And elemental guitars....all of them are spectacular. The leviathan one made me go "ooooooooooh that is really cool" 😄 Looking forward to seeing these come into the world. Happy birthday to Jason 🎸

I like the idea of a baritone representing water. Looking forward to all the builds.

so excited, will defs be sending a track in
