Full Acoustic Guitar Build - Koa and Sinker Redwood - Workshop ASMR - JKM Guitars
This build video covers instrument #38, which is a 485 model made from Sinker Redwood and Koa. Its also paired with Koa bindings, head veneers and 12th fret inlay. To compliment the golden colour of the wood, ebony is used for the fingerboard, bridge and strap button inlay.
It was decided with the customer to have a gloss finish for the body and headstock, with a satin finish for the mahogany neck. The spraying process isn't included in this video, as I do it off site, but the wood prep with grain filler, and the polishing are shown.

    Its nice to see the Shaper Origin getting some good use. I thought about building some templates that would cut the top out for me as well as the sound hole. Is there a reason why you dont do that and just do it by hand?

    • @nigelhasenbaum
      @nigelhasenbaum 14 дней назад

      Now that Ive thought about it, its much faster to get just a rough cut from the band saw and then router it off at the end rather than setting up all the tape and what not.

    • @JKM_Guitars
      @JKM_Guitars 11 дней назад

      Yes, thats actually the reason I dont use the shaper for that job! It is certainly useful when doing jobs that require accuracy, but sometimes other methods can produce results in a faster time. Also, it saves on shaper tape!

      Hi there! Yes the oil was applied directly to the wood. I have tried other methods before such as using an epoxy grain filler (I go through that process in the full finish tutorial video on my page.) Depending on the level of build you want, anywhere from 8 to 12 coats will build a sufficient and easy to apply finish for a top. Just apply and wipe off the excess, then repeat!
