    I started building kits in 2020 during Covid lockdown.
    Been doing it as a hobby ever since. Love it.
    Yeah, mostly they're crap, but they're gradually getting better.
    Just finished a 'GunsNGuitars' Behemoth Bass kit. It's still got plenty of matchsticks and filler in it from my rookie mistakes, but I've learned so much.
    Keep making your videos. Great viewing.

    Just finished building my first guitar! My friend had run over his acoustic guitar and gave it to me so I fixed the cracked headstock and converted the acoustic neck to be used in an electric guitar. I built the body out of some boards that came from a carport recently taken down where I live. Everything is surprisingly straight and it sounds great with the Wilkinson mini humbuckers. It wasn’t the prettiest thing but I decided to weather it to embrace the defects. Love that guitar and will build another soon with intentions of making it nicer. Thanks for your video. Nice and inspiring!

    The router works way better to cut out the neck than an unstable jigsaw! Use multiple passes wit a straight cutting bearing bit and it's perfect and easy!

    when i built my first one, It was a plywood sandwich, and i cut all the cavities with a scroll saw before i glued them together. the first solid wood body, i had forstner bits, a palm/trim router, and chisels. The first few fretboards, i slotted by hand with a dovetail saw, and i carved the first few necks with an old antiques draw knife that my dad had, using a rasp and sandpaper to finish the carve. and yeah like you said, the first few were atrocious instruments, but technically they were playable.

    Hey man great videos and keep it up. Im a 56 year old newbie guitar player and like working on them as much as learing to play. Decided the drums was getting boring and try something new. I bought a cheap Glarry with humbuckers. They were terrible so i took copper tape and wrapped starting where the wire comes out and around and cut at wire. I cut a peice of wax paper the size of the bottom if pickup and then folded like a xmas package over. It stopped the microphonic sound and made it better i think. I would like you to try that cause im just a newbie ex engineer hillbilly that dont know but to try something. I've seen where people dip in wax but that looks messy. So give it a try sometime a lets see if my Hillbilly method works. ✌️

    This is the video I've been hoping for! Made me so anxious with the routing after removing the template and not clamping the body down! I say that because I screwed up a body doing it like that. I made it through the whole video, but you had me squirming in my chair!!! 😅 Awesome work man! 👍

    But an ignorant person like myself is asking you tube search all kinds of questions.
    How big for pick-up slots
    Flush mount pick-ups
    Pick-up rings
    Where to buy hardware and supplies. Pot 250k-500k
    Scale length for number of fret vs different types of bridges
    Angled necks
    Control cavities from front with pick guard vs access from back/ depth for pots.
    Pot wiring, caps, volume, switches, coil splitting, through body necks vs bolt on with cavities
    Wood types and finishes.
    Its exhausting but addictive.

A piece that big would cost me so much over here I would build as many necks from it as I could.
