Bahahahahhahahaha!!!!! I want that $5 back I loaned you! Freaking hilarious song and I am humbled by it. But more importantly your guitar looks and sounds amazing! Be proud!
Thanks Tim! You put together a really nice kit, those pickups are killer!! They're so versatile and they sound great! I've definitely caught the guitar building bug and will be making many more. And uh... the check is in the mail, haha!
I havent got a nice workshop like you so i am thinking of buying a body. And do al the elektronics myself. Would be the 2e guitar i do with new wiring and pickups
That’s a fun video to watch. I’m getting ready to start working on my custom V 5 string bass kit and watching this is inspiring. Yes, my 5 string bass will likely have unbelievably bad neck dive but I don’t care. I’m probably going to play it seated with the center of the V on my leg anyway. You’ve got the tools, amigo!!!! Great work!!
Hey buddy you have a great talent and the guitar looks amazing. I am in the middle of completing a Flying V for my son and that’s how I came across your video (research). We also set up a wood shop and my son being 14 he absolutely loves being by my side as we build whatever we choose to. Not sure where you learned your craft but you had good teachers. Hoping my son follows my steps and does the same as he grows
Thanks, I learned a lot from my dad. Rather than teaching me one specific craft, he showed me how to figure things out. We made a lot of different stuff when I was a kid, from woodworking to sewing to making buckskin leather. So it's the problem solving skills that really help me when I try something new.
Excellent craftsmanship and the guitar sounds very good! ... It is also because you are a musician and you have a good Metal technique! ... The Flying V goes flying! ... Congrats Mr. Joe Pierce Maker! ...
@@JoePierceMaker oh dude, thanks man, right on I appreciate that dude I just do corny news stuff for now, but I'm building to be something like what you got going years down the line man, I wish I had the talent already, until then, I'll just keep watching you lol
I really enjoy your videos, especially the Guitar Rescues. You are a True Craftsman. Keep up the Great Work! And your Guitar Playing is not to Shabby either.
real nice job . reminds me of the back of a strat i made for my cousin. i used canary wood and purple heart in the same layout as you . but i laid them out on a 45 degree angle. nice t. sharp guitar!..........ptp
Thank you so much. If you would like a quote on a custom guitar you can fill out a request form at www.joepiercemaker.com/pierce-custom-shop Also thank you for subscribing!
Thanks. Yeah, purple heart is pretty dense. I got this chunk in a pile of wood from a friend and didn't even know it was purple heart till I put it through the planer because it was covered in wax.
Looks fantastic, I have always wanted a hollowbody V I know Dean made one and it was pants, I know you are more than capeable of making one that would not suck.
Wow got a lot of fret buzz going on there almost to the point to where it sounds like a sitar. I'll give you an a for effort. I suggest you do some homework on Fret dressing and how to set up a guitar. Thanks for the video buddy.
I know that the Purpleheart is right but I'm not sure what the other wood is. I have a pile of wood that were scraps from a high end staircase company and I haven't identified everything yet.
There is a video on youtube touring Gibson and how they make their guitars. You should steal some of their ideas on how they use pegs to keep their templates in place. Either way I have been watching you make some guitars and man I still had all my tools so I could make one. I have rebuilt dozens but never made one from scratch.
I get it. I’m normally not a fan of it either but with a V it’s really the only option. Of course I did the same thing in my SG as well because I didn’t want the strap button on the horn because the horns are so thin.
Next up, make a fiber glass guitar, oh yeah, and make it hollow, so it's lighter, matter of fact, make it a fiber glass, hollow bass. Also make the neck out of epoxy resin, clear, like glass. So u can see the rod inside. Peace. P.s. Great video.
Wäre schon interessant sich mal seine eigene Randy Rhoads zu bauen, dummerweise fehlt mir schlicht die Werkstatt und das dafür nötige Werkzeug. Wäre ja mal eine Idee Workshops anzubieten wo man dann seine Gitarre unter fachlicher Anleitung bauen kann. Das man aber auch dann ein gewisses handwerkliches Grundwissen haben muss ist denk ich selbstverständlich.
Just in case the neck breaks or I want to upgrade it. Also, since this guitar won't fit in a normal case, I was able to take it apart easily when I moved.
It’s called Be More Like Tim Sway. It’s an original by me. You can find it on all the major music streaming sites. open.spotify.com/track/143iMveBXlwBjgskRN9ePD?si=pS-OnEULRuKlGocrBLAZAg
Oh you're making your own Guitar and you put the Guitar Jack in the wrong place! It would be better to put it on the front with the other knobs! Oh well! 🎸
I don't like the ones that stick out of the front as much. Also the spot I chose allows me to secure the wire to the strap to prevent unwanted disconnections during a show.
Holy crap!! I tho that Joe had gotten Coyote Shivers to do his fill song!! (Sounds a *lot* like "Sugar High" from the "Empire Records" movie soundtrack, down to the vocal tones!! Check it out here, and then *try* to call me a liar!! [I *dare* ya!] -- ruclips.net/video/NwcRJyEY5n8/видео.html )-- May hafta get a coupla-five of these kits for meself!!
Thanks! I actually love that movie and that song. I was going for a very nineties, power-pop vibe on my song so I'm sure "Sugar High" was in the back of my mind while writing it.
So, first, I built my own guitar, and filmed the process. Then, using that guitar, I improvised a song using a looper pedal. You can actually watch me record it on my second channel ruclips.net/video/Dr6Y5MV7-VY/видео.html That's the first terrible song you hear in this video. Then I wrote and recorded a second song, this time with lyrics and such. THEN, I edited all that together into the video that you just watched. So thanks for watching and commenting because that's why I do all of this.
Bahahahahhahahaha!!!!! I want that $5 back I loaned you! Freaking hilarious song and I am humbled by it. But more importantly your guitar looks and sounds amazing! Be proud!

Thanks! food luck on your build. I used to have an SG bass that had the worst neck dive.
And it started off so well.....
Ended up pretty good too. Thanks for watching.

Thanks Bro!
I learned a lot I'm on my way to serial number # 01 Good Job!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Damn, thrash is great and all, bit that blues rock hits nice in a special place
Thanks! I like to do a little bit of everything.
thats awesome i just did a vid on the V i built from guitar kit world, maybe thats why i saw this but im glad i did good vid man nice axe!!
Thanks! I just subscribed to your channel as well. Great videos!
@@JoePierceMaker oh dude, thanks man, right on I appreciate that dude I just do corny news stuff for now, but I'm building to be something like what you got going years down the line man, I wish I had the talent already, until then, I'll just keep watching you lol
Fantastic build, Joe! The body looks awesome and that's a great sounding guitar. Rock on!
Thanks! It was a lot of fun and I can't wait to build more guitars.
Only thing is tone is a little twangy
wow.this joe dude is really a talanted guy.very impressive work..and a decent musician..i like his channel very much
Thanks!
Turned out great!
Thanks!
I really enjoy your videos, especially the Guitar Rescues. You are a True Craftsman. Keep up the Great Work! And your Guitar Playing is not to Shabby either.
Thanks! I've got some more in the works.
Thanks for another great build video! Keep building. And the song was a nice touch, haha!
Thanks! It's not often I write songs with words but I thought Tim Sway deserved one.
Just beautiful
Thank you!
This is so far beyond Bad Azz !!!!
Well done Brother 👊🏼❤️👊🏼
Thanks Bill!
Awsome V Built! U make it look easy
Thanks!
Great work!!!!! Beautiful!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much 😀
Really cool build. I made a V with a banana headstock and a vintage mighty mite humbucker. Gave it a EVH type finish.
Thanks, That's awesome!
Great work on the body! Looks good.
Thanks! I've always wanted a V but could never afford one so I made my own.
Man that’s awesome, great build! Love the mastodon shirt!
Thanks! I think that Brett Hinds would like this guitar.
Joe Pierce Maker He definitely would!
Cool man!
Thanks!
looks great, sound great
Thank you!
real nice job . reminds me of the back of a strat i made for my cousin. i used canary wood and purple heart in the same layout as you . but i laid them out on a 45 degree angle. nice t. sharp guitar!..........ptp
Very cool!
I know Tim Sway.
Yeah, but does he know you back? Because I never met the guy, I think he might be a myth like Bill Brasky.
I want a guitar crafted by you. Wow. Second video I watched, new sub here. Beautiful, beautiful work.
Thank you so much. If you would like a quote on a custom guitar you can fill out a request form at www.joepiercemaker.com/pierce-custom-shop
Also thank you for subscribing!
nice job. that purple heart is some hard heavy shit, aint it?.......ptp
Thanks. Yeah, purple heart is pretty dense. I got this chunk in a pile of wood from a friend and didn't even know it was purple heart till I put it through the planer because it was covered in wax.
Looks fantastic, I have always wanted a hollowbody V I know Dean made one and it was pants, I know you are more than capeable of making one that would not suck.
Thanks, That sounds like an interesting project. I may have to try that one day.
Great guitar
Thanks!
Wow got a lot of fret buzz going on there almost to the point to where it sounds like a sitar. I'll give you an a for effort. I suggest you do some homework on Fret dressing and how to set up a guitar. Thanks for the video buddy.
Thanks.
Rock on!
Thanks!
Purple Heart and Sepele? Looks awesome!
I know that the Purpleheart is right but I'm not sure what the other wood is. I have a pile of wood that were scraps from a high end staircase company and I haven't identified everything yet.
Love it, Very Cool!!
Thanks!

Either way I have been watching you make some guitars and man I still had all my tools so I could make one. I have rebuilt dozens but never made one from scratch.
That's awesome, thanks for watching.
What song is that???? I looked for this video for a hour just to hear the song again!!! I found it!!!!!
Thanks! The song is called "Be More Like Tim Sway" and its available on iTunes, Spotify, and all the other streaming platforms
Best video ever.
Bitchin original song. I'm Swayed.
Just had to sub
Thanks! I'm happy that my love of woodworking and my love of music have finally found a common ground.
I have a question Joe. Why not just use a single piece of wood for the body? Thanks!
The main reason is that I didn’t have a piece of wood large enough to do it from one piece. I also like the look of the contrasting woods.
@@JoePierceMaker Cool. Just curious. Thanks.
Awesome! Also, at what point did you regret putting the back strap button in that spot?
Thanks! I haven’t had any issues with the strap button being on the back.
I mostly just don't like the way it looks placed there, but to each his own.
Great build! Thank you for all the great videos!
I get it. I’m normally not a fan of it either but with a V it’s really the only option. Of course I did the same thing in my SG as well because I didn’t want the strap button on the horn because the horns are so thin.
Fumihiko Kitsutaka would be proud
Thanks!
Lol this is great man, love it.
Thanks!
Hey I like it yes and very good looking body too
Thanks!
I did an amazing job, which is the guitar diapason?
Thanks! Are you asking what tuning the guitar is in? If so, it's tuned to standard E (EADGBE)
I have a new neck block inlays and bound its like a bolt on.
I would like to find a body with binding. Whi knows where?
How is making The Gibson flying V in factory, from one piece of wood or couples pieces
I'm not sure how they do it, but finding a slab of wood wide enough to make it from one piece is kind of hard.
Next up, make a fiber glass guitar, oh yeah, and make it hollow, so it's lighter, matter of fact, make it a fiber glass, hollow bass. Also make the neck out of epoxy resin, clear, like glass. So u can see the rod inside. Peace.
P.s. Great video.
That sounds interesting.

Ich würde gerne Unterricht geben können. Vielleicht bin ich eines Tages auf diesem Niveau.

Thanks!
How about a Dimebag darrel
That would be pretty cool.
A very beauty guitar but why bolt on???
Just in case the neck breaks or I want to upgrade it. Also, since this guitar won't fit in a normal case, I was able to take it apart easily when I moved.
what are the measurements of the body?
I followed this video ruclips.net/video/GI1J6hLhCcU/видео.html but instead of using a computer program, I drew it out using a ruler and a compass.
hi will you share the templates?
I found the measurements online somewhere and just drew it out.
do you watch crimson? Ben uses that same super glue trick for templates
Yeah, I'm a big fan of their channel. The masking tape and super glue trick works a lot better than double sided tape or hot glue.
👍👍👍
Thanks!
What the name of the that punk song at 3:54
It’s called Be More Like Tim Sway. It’s an original by me. You can find it on all the major music streaming sites. open.spotify.com/track/143iMveBXlwBjgskRN9ePD?si=pS-OnEULRuKlGocrBLAZAg
@@JoePierceMaker that awesome you build and play badass that something I want to do
At last why you cut the video....
It just felt like the thing to do at the time.
👍✌
Thanks!
Make an Explorer to be the sister of the V
XD
I really want to.
Oh you're making your own Guitar and you put the Guitar Jack in the wrong place! It would be better to put it on the front with the other knobs! Oh well! 🎸

Thanks! I actually love that movie and that song. I was going for a very nineties, power-pop vibe on my song so I'm sure "Sugar High" was in the back of my mind while writing it.
Sir. I'm going to need an explanation as to how this is a kit and NOT professional lutherie.
here's hoping the guitar turns out better than the playing.
Everyone's a critic...
Who ever is playing... STOP..
It was me. And no.
Who'm is such a grif thing make?
Jesus, that music is terrible. Next time, opt for silence or the crap EDM that every other video uses.
So, first, I built my own guitar, and filmed the process. Then, using that guitar, I improvised a song using a looper pedal.
