I've known Chris since second grade. Back then he was a talented model maker ,building balsa wood models that look like they could have been put in a magazine. As mentioned in the video Chris is an awesome painter. I have some of his work hanging in my house. The guitars that he's been building for the last 20 or so years are some of the most outstanding I have ever seen. What a talent he has been his whole life. Anyone who buys one of those guitars is buying a treasure that will be passed on for Generations. Great job Chris I look forward to seeing your future masterpieces!!
Am really glad i watched this documentary.Chris is an extremely talented person,he doesn't just make guitars,he makes individual work's of art.I would be honoured to own such beautiful instruments.I only have a martin.
Chris really is a renaissance man. He is an artist and craftsman but he has also learned a lot about engineering and acoustics along the way. Great video, just wish it had been longer.
Thank you so very much! I really appreciate you checking out what goes on. Scot is working on sound demos of the finished guitars. Cheers Chris - Macdaddy
I always enjoy happenstance videos popping up in my feed, especially when they introduce master craftsmen creating quality guitars. I really enjoyed this and would love to explore one of his guitars someday. Thanks!
Hi James! Scot has produced an amazing video of a day in the life of Macdaddy. He will be posting some great sound clips soon. Much appreciated Chris - Macdaddy
Hi Chris, I am a beginner acoustic guitar builder & can relate to how you explain the wood tones, texture & art. Your guitars are beautifully& tastefully designed. I have been building things out of wood for over 50 years. So far lately I have built 6 Martin D28 jumbo acoustic copies for my family. I live in New Brunswick Canada & getting inspired by people like you who share their passion to build guitars. Thank you for time & consideration. Vic
Wow Vic! that is awesome you are building and I really love Jumbo acoustics. I'm sure you are making amazing guitars. Us woodworkers are a rare breed for sure. I'm always willing to share ideas and talk shop any time. By the way my fathers family came to the US from Cape Breton Port Hastings a long time ago - what a beautiful place up there. Like to get back some time. Cheers Chris - Macdaddy
This is an awesome video. Great content AND sound quality. I’ve known Chris more than 30 years and have long admired his passion for wood working and, notably, building guitars. A true luthier (yes, he taught me that word years ago). I’m so pleased to see his work being shared with a wider audience. Oh, and he’s a great guy to boot!
artisans with a higher standard and true purpose…love ‘em!…they make the world a sweeter place…as for his guitars or knowing how they sound, , i’d assume it would be a real treasure to own even without being a guitarist…
Hi! well glad you asked - Scot is producing some great demos in the next week or so and you will get to hear them up close and personal! Thank you for stopping in. Chris - Macdaddy
Hello! Yes you can make your own guitars for sure you just need a few tools and lots of time ha ha. Always available to share ideas. Cheers Chris - Macdaddy
I really appreciate that. I've never just wanted to reproduce what's already out there. These are true hollowbody guitars on a different path. Thank you for stopping in. Chris - Macdaddy
Wow thank you so very much! I really enjoy showing what I do and you will see/hear sound demos in the next week or so from Scot. Cheers Chris - Macdaddy
Hi John! Well you asked the right question - Scot is putting together some great players and sound coming in a week or so stay tuned! Cheers Chris - Macdaddy
This particular guitar being built in the video is now a finished piece. It is a nylon string classical thinline model with K&K Pure Classical pickup system. I would compare to an Ibanez TOD10.

Dan you rock my friend and you are an amazing person in your own right. Thank you for checking this out. Chris - Macdaddy
Wonderful. Please follow up with sound samples. Really essential when speaking about designing and making musical instruments.
Yes I second that. I'd love to hear them played. Also liked Chris' pointing out the acoustic properties of the different tonewoods. More please.
This is in the works!

Hi Nathaniel! What fulfills me is having you stop by to see whats going on at Macdaddy! Thank you Chris - Macdaddy
Love the original designs, not just another ES copy.
I really appreciate that. I've never just wanted to reproduce what's already out there. These are true hollowbody guitars on a different path. Thank you for stopping in. Chris - Macdaddy
Four Stars ! ****

Where are the endorsements and professional demo samples and finished product.
Video in the works. thanks.
Hi John! Well you asked the right question - Scot is putting together some great players and sound coming in a week or so stay tuned! Cheers Chris - Macdaddy
Maybe you can attain unique construction like parker did. A guitar unique as you are building deserves the best innovative electronics.
Cantilevered neck and extended frett board . Sort of jazz guitar looking. So is this going to be a hollow body electric instrument.
This particular guitar being built in the video is now a finished piece. It is a nylon string classical thinline model with K&K Pure Classical pickup system. I would compare to an Ibanez TOD10.
