@@chippsterstephens6800 Fascinating. Utter nonsense in my view. Thanks for sharing. I will ignore everything you’ve said as I have not experienced any of the downsides you have mentioned. C

@@nelsonrosado463 finally. A diagnosis. Thank you. C

@@nelsonrosado463 I think you mean you’re. But hey who is checking grammar. C

@@nelsonrosado463 dunno what you are talking about mate. C

@@jeffreyprice773 So you just wrote ‘Fail’. Wow. Thats quite an intellect you are blessed with buddy.

@@ruleninetyone You’re right. Why does that always happen? Thanks for your support. C

@@user-qr7wf4li9l My jig is 15 degrees if I remember correctly. I believe the les Paul is generally at 17 degrees. I prefer a very slightly softer angle as I think it may relieve a little pressure, particularly as we tend to use lighter string these days. I can’t actually see the difference and the guitar is an absolute belter anyway. C

@@jeffmiller2434 Thanks Jeff. It’s a lot of work but it’s fabulous. C

@@ricardobelcredi2475 and I thank you from France. Best wishes from Chris. C

@@MrSDFD18 Yes. Avoiding rushing at the end game is tempting. But I’ve done that enough to know that doing that leads to another brown guitar. You can have too many of those. It’s best to build a good guitar rather than a fast one. Trust me. C

@@chrisreynoldsguitarmaking I don’t care if it’s brown. I want the wood resonating at its best. And a Partscaster should look like a Partscaster. It should be the raw, worn sense of the rustic original. Exposed wiring, no pickguard, vintage tuners.

@@MrSDFD18 no thanks

@@chrisreynoldsguitarmaking we all seek something different.

@@MrSDFD18 apparently so

@@MiniShowProductions Ha ha. Yes totally. I’m good but not perfect please forgive me. It’s hard to do all this a film it. To err is divine C

@@Z_Aye_P89 I think I eluded to this issue in the episode. But maybe I didn’t include it in the final cut. Ideally you want to make sure that the guitar is in a playing position. We are dealing with very small forces here that have tiny but significant effects. I try and get the guitar in a playing orientation these days when I set the intonation. C

That’s very kind of you to say so. My world is as real a yours. But I’m an editor with 45 years in tv. I guess something took hold. It’s all about story telling. It’s not that my story is so great. But I do have the tools to tell it. C

I’m glad you found me. I’ve been sitting here alone for weeks waiting. But hey you got there in the end and now are friends. Best of luck to you. C

@@chrisreynoldsguitarmaking 🤣🤣🤣

@@Z_Aye_P89 thanks very much. I’m on a break right now so I have moved to France to live. I have so much to do that the guitar making has to stop for a few months. I’m planning the comeback now. Take care. C

@@chrisreynoldsguitarmaking well I can’t wait for more videos I knew a little about making guitars now I know a lot thanks to you I love how you go into detail on everything it’s sooooo helpful keep up the great work you have inspired me to start from completely scratch and build a guitar from the bottom up !

Not sure if that’s a good sound or a bad sound!! C

@@chrisreynoldsguitarmaking it’s perfectly in time with the background music for like 5 seconds lol. Nice videos mate keep rockin🤘🏼

@@milesbandana Thanks Miles I will go check that out. Sometimes I time things up for a laugh but I don’t remember doing this on this episode

@@michaelweymouth4015 this was a while back now and I’m completely recovered. Thanks for your concern it was a difficult time.

Thank you! Cheers!

@@leaphchausew7277 I have made a neck through, yes. Of my own design. It’s helpful to think of it as a very long neck with wings on it. It helps to avoid a neck with a break angle as this really complicates things. I also used a very low profile bridge so I didn’t have to build up the fretboard height to get the strings high enough. Plan well and take your time. The only critical thing in guitar making is the scale length. Everything starts here.

Oh wow thanks for the comment and great advice. :) Yes, I’ll take all that into consideration and the wing analogy is helpful. Subscribed btw. :)

@@GeorgTheGuitar wow thanks George

@@philking6831 I see what you did there and I’m liking your work sir. C

Booboo Guitars C

@@MrGibsn1960 I’m sorry to hear of your plight. Pine is generally not a great wood to build electric guitar necks out of. But if it’s dense and stable you can make a body or two from it. I’ve seen some successful builds using harder specimens. Spruce is used extensively in acoustic guitar tops but it’s generally very high grade spruce which is a variation of pine. Spruce has individual needles that attach directly to the branch rather than in finger like clusters. To be honest. I would be realistic about what you can use in guitar making.

@@chrisreynoldsguitarmaking yeah, I’m not sure what it’ll become over time. It was a little over 40 years old with a pretty tight grain/ring structure. My wife was upset about losing the tree so I wanted to do something with it that would be kinda cool and unique. At worst, it’ll become a jewelry box. Haha

Thanks for watching! I'm doing so much work on the house right now I'm too tired to build. It will happen soon though. C

That's interesting I shall look that up. Cheers C

@@KruszO Thanks. Me too.

@@yankapoodle Thanks. It remains a firm favourite. It’s light and shorter scale like a Gibson. It also looks pretty. C

@@alastairmacdonald6794 Very kind words. I’m hoping to get to some guitar making this month. C

@@orvillegibson9714 its amazing and it’s going to get better C

@@greghowley3250 my sons had one of those. They are ok but I often find the SG to be poorly balanced. Neck dive is so difficult to tolerate. I’m always careful to plan my wood carefully to avoid that issue. Keep me posted on your build. C

@@lewe1882 Thanks Lewe. Ela says thanks too. I’d love to see the other flood video. It’s not uncommon to have water issues in old houses. It was a huge relief to get that sorted so quickly. I had visions of the ceiling coming down. C

@@minivanmachoman Thanks for your message. Glad you enjoyed the update vid. I suffer from tinnitus and that sort of stuff makes my head sing more than usual. It such a daunting situation we’ve landed ourselves with but the upside is very up. Yesterday was Bastille day and we hit the town hard last night. C

It’s about 3.5 x 2.5 metres. It’s enough. I’ve moved from the UK to France and my new workshop is huge. But I kinda miss my old wooden shed. But… it was too hot in summer and an icebox in winter. That I do not miss.

@@mariobernier4606 Thanks Mario. Always nice to hear from you again. It’s all happening here. C

@@chrisreynoldsguitarmaking sure hope it’s not as hot there as it is here. We’re in the high 30, sometimes low 40´s… crazy hot

Thanks Pablo. I love this guitar. C

@@tato4612Thanks very much. It’s a lovely guitar and I’m very proud of it. I love it. C

@@thenovello-pugh already done. C

@@lush462 Thanks for those very kind words. You get me totally that’s what I am aiming for. Demystification. C

@@hisproperty1438 Thanks Andrew. I’m as frustrated as everyone else. I want to finish the build but when you have nowhere to cook or wash the priorities are clear. C

@@uncleremus64 I know it’s been a while. Very hard finding the time and the energy to make some content. It’s been pretty full on. C

@@mikewalde143 it was a bit of an effort and took a while to compile. Squeezing it in between bouts of extreme fatigue and hangovers was tricky. It’s done. Hopefully a break will allow me to finish the strat build this summer. C. Glad you enjoyed the baffling Olympic parade.

@@realpool thanks so much. I’m glad you found it helpful and hopefully entertaining.

@@chrisreynoldsguitarmaking Very entertaining and informative!

Hah, I guess a messy workshop is a badge of honour. C

Merci a vous. C
