It's been 2 years, could you please make A video update about the guitar's condition recently sir?

There are different kinds of pine wood. I have some that have growth rings that look hair and the wood is heavy. (probably much sap) Do you think that would make a better violin than standard pine or maybe Spruce.

It would've been nice to hear the guitar acousticly so not via the pickup system. Because that essentially sounds the same and will does work with strings attached to a pallet as well. It's all about durability of the neck in this case and the state of the wood. If you have dry wood which has no tension in it, I think it'd be fine for a body. Do your neck does at least need carbon fiber reinforcements in order to last. Also your fingerboard will likely wear out fast, but you can counter that by finding very fine grain quartersawn pine

Dit klink mooi oom!

Guitar is sounding great! Very impressed by the violin!

Not a masterpiece but in the end it is you who must like it. I'd say it was a fine job.

Great job. Please keep on making them.

Thank you!!!!!!

sides, back and top seem thick wondering how it will effect sound.

i like it

Thank you for your video its good to see pine wood getting a little love in making instruments😊

The only problem I'm hearing as a little bit of misintonation, which is a mongrel to get right in any acoustic build without years of practice at fretting and bridge placement and I'm guessing the hum is in your audio gear rather than the instrument's electronics. Otherwise, I'd say it has good resonance, based on your recording and generally, I hold that tonewoods are myth to make people fork ove more money. Great little proof of concept project.

Great video! Quick question: where did you get the flat metal and the threaded rod? Did you purchase them online or at a hardware store? Hi from the US! 💪💪💪👍👍👍🎼🎼🎼

I really love your videos especially the all pine guitar build and like a year ago I got this really cheap and bad guitar that wouldn't even stay tuned so at that point I got motivated to make one on my own and do better than the company that made the cheap guitar but i didn't really know how pine would be and sound because that's the only wood i have access to but your video showed me and got me even more motivated.

Bro if you can carve a scroll with a steak knife, then I need to go make myself a violin wtf LOL seriously though, I love your humor here, and watching you go through this backyard process sheds a lot of light on how violin making can be done for fun and enjoyment, without the need for extreme perfectionism and tradition

I once saw a guy making a fiddle in Mexico, his main tool was a dremel, I'd say he did a good 75% of the entire build with that thing. I just wanted to add that you can use CA glue (crazy/super glue) to reinforce softwoods like pine, I've done this with balsa wood in the past.

Where I live pine is the only widely available wood and it's fine for almost everything, if you know how to work with it. However I wouldn't use such soft wood for bridge and fretboard. It's amazing for top deck (if its quality is good) and many more things, if we're talking about guitars and it's really good enough for almost anything related to furniture and many other applications. BTW love how you use bricks to apply pressure, will use this technique for sure :)

I like a Strats or Tele with pine bodies. To me it is a great tone especiaslly with cold neck. Reacently I ordered a master build Stratocaster with pine body (~70 years dry) and flame mapple top. It sounds just awesome to me and it has a very light weight which makes palaying so comfortable. As a result, the guitar's weight balance is also close to the middle. I highly recommend trying pine for solid body guitars as well. You will be pleasantly surprised!

Hello 😀. You can also take a hacksaw and cut the grooves deeper. This is how I saved several screw clamps. It takes a few minutes to do. It would be fun if you tried it with yours on a video 😆🤗. Sincerely, Lars from Denmark.

Hi dude, i want to ask something, why pine tree not popular for body of guitar?

your recommended amount is still far higher than needed. cracks me up when i see the amount people use. your first line was all you needed, not the extra lines. i guess the glue companies like you to do this, as they sell more glue. almost as bad as the american obsession with gluing both pieces (retired furniture maker).

I apply thin layer to both surfaces and let it soak into the wood for minute, especially for end grain. This is to help assure no air will be trapped between glue and wood. Clamp immediately so it sets with minimal gap. Zero squeeze out is ideal, but cannot be achieved because one cannot assure sufficient coverage everywhere without some waste.

Once clamped, a thin line of squeeze out is maximal. Anything more than that is literally wasted.

agreed. But do not forget to apply glue twice to end grain. First cover the surface generously, and allow the glue to soak in. Wait 20 to 30 minutes. then re-coat and join the pieces applying clamps.

Even at 1/3 application, it still looks like you used too much. I'm guessing that you cringe when you see other wood workers use way too much, especially when they apply glue to both sides. And thanks for NOT using your finger to spread the glue!

Would You like Me to send You a paper copy of My Fadolin neck template?

Wounderful sentiment...BRAVO 🎼

Can you make a bajo sexto?

Very nice video!

Sounding good! Please keep up your passion for building and music. God bless you and keep you.

Better looking and sounding instrument than 9,999 out of 10,000 violin players could make. Good work 🎉

On the bridge: I suspect you will find your fiddle sounds quite a bit different with a maple bridge. Probably louder, more "brillient" and harsher too. A concert violin must be loud to be heard. A fiddle? Not so much.

Listen, you’re older 50s early 60 model fenders. Specially the telecaster reason they were so resonant sound they were solid pine when strum them solid pine that’s the way to go. Very good choice.

👏👏Thanks for sharing your art!

Ι once aspired to become a luthier but it did not happen. But I like to watch luthiers at work, I find it fascinating. This pine guitar looks good to me. Soundwise, I like it best when strummed. Nice bass tones and shimmering highs.

Merry Christmas Thanks for sharing.

Very cool...thanks for posting

I just love it!!!!!!!!!!

nice work man, love the natural wood textures on the instruments!

Wehre are you located my friend? I cant get where your accent its from

just started hand making my own pine wood acoustic guitar. and this video keeps me going

I love the sound. It is a backwoods fiddle and is as it should be😉

I use wood screws from the inside. Never had a failure…yet.

Félicitations 🍾🎉🎈 .. avec les petits moyens vous avez fait un très beau violon..et qui sonne très bien 🤩 bravo ✌️👏👏🎻🎻🎻

This video is a year old now, how is the guitar doing?

spruce is a type of pine . ok so maple is not o well they use different types of wood all the time for the backs why not pine . and one guy is making violins out of trash so i think you did a great job . and as far as the glue goes i kinda think the glue snobs need to give it a break . wood glue of today is better last longer and protects better . if you need to remove the glued areas you have more issues then the glue anyway . good job

Great build! Love seeing someone make something out of simple materials and with simple tools. Nice job.

This is a really great documentary about a fantastic idea. And it is a motivation for the own homemade Guitar project. Thank you and best regards. Holz&Lack

Olaf the violin maker has used a steel reinforcement for a neck joint.

I’ve been woodworking for a short time, and recently started learning how to make an acoustic guitar. I found you video and wow! I’m impressed. I like the idea of using pine for my first build, just to reduce cost and see what works & what doesn’t. I liked the intent of what you accomplished. Building a guitar, not the best guitar.
