*R E D S P E C I A L* announcement: I'll start a Red Special Build as soon as the channel reaches 100K, but don't rush, I need to finish that Les Paul first :) You can follow the weekly progression of the Les Paul here: instagram.com/tchiksguitars/ (Also I put a couple more sound clips of the blue guitar over there, with the drive from the Strymon Iridium + (mini)Tubescreamer instead of the Fender Pugilist you can here in this video). Have a great day ! Bisous, tchiks
@@tchiksguitars si jamais, et si tu y es pas déjà, va faire un tour sur le Red Special forum sur Facebook! Il y a tout ce qu'il faut comme info et sources de hardware / micros 😁 j'en fais moi même partie même si je me suis jamais lancé dans la construction!
Having your daughter help you at times is adorable. You do fantastic work and every guitar I have watched you build is great looking and they sound great as well. This one is no exception great guitar.
The tortoiseshell binding went better with the blue top than I might have expected-a surprisingly nice combination. I also appreciated the “Five Stages of Carving a Volute”
Ahaha. My thinking behind the tortoise binding, I'll admit, was to recreate the teal and orange combination people are after in photo/videography. I think it came out nice but I'm biased :)
Les remarques de la petite sont trop trop chou ! Le "ooooooh c'est joli !" plein d'admiration pour le travail de son papa m'a filé un sourire jusqu'aux oreilles ! Et quant au travail : juste exceptionnel !
I am not a luthier, I just play them, but man, mad respect to you. It looks like a tremendous amount of work and love goes into your guitars. Even though I don't own one of them, thanks for spending time making them great.
This reminds me of the happy times with my daughter when she was of a similar age. I was always building *something*, and she and her brother were always involved.
Beautifully done!! And teaching that lovely girl of yours how to do it right at such a young age is priceless! Thank you for the video and tutorial on guitar building and how to lovingly raise a child.
Absolute build perfection and what an amazing apprentice you have. Thank you for letting us glimpse into your world, it had a peaceful, calming feeling.
I love you let your daughter help. Reminds me of when my daughter was so much younger and wanted to be involved with everything I did. I loved her interest and wanting to learn.
it's overwhelming how you let your daughter be part of the building process. I think she is a lucky girl and you are a lucky father. Thank you so much for sharing this!
- "Ca veut dire quoi 'poncer' ?" - "Ca veut dire qu'on va enlever ton dessin.." - "HEIN ?!?" Ahahahah Excellent boulot au passage, comme d'habitude Ce manche flammé 'roasted', ce frettage sorti des enfers.. Magnifique
It is wonderful to see you let your daughter be involved. Those will be the memories the both you will keep forever. The best gift from a papa to his child.
Beautiful work. I love that your little one got to help. She will have a special appreciation for art and many other things that she might later wish to own because of her exposure to how much time and effort it takes to make those things. Maybe she will one day even join you and become a luthier. En tout cas, merci et bonne chance !
It’s been a very challenging week and this video brought me a lot of comfort and a moment to just enjoy a great build. Thanks. I appreciate it. Looking forward to the next one.
I love a guitar with a medium to thin neck with a nice volute. Not because it protects against neck breaks, because it doesn't, but because I put my thumb on it while playing open chords and it feels nice. Great video, thanks for filming and sharing. Gorgeous guitar!
You’re such an inspiration. I had always wanted to make my own guitar and now, thanks to your tele build videos, I’ve finally started. I can’t wait for your next build…. I think I know what it is😁
Well done! Having made a few solid body guitars myself, I can appreciate all of the work that you put into your amazing guitars! Love how you constructed that scarf joint! Also, adding that edge binding was a nice touch! Great work & great sounding guitar! Looking forward to your next build... 🎸🎸👍👍
You have given me so much inspiration and motivation to finally start my own guitar! I will be starting on it sometime in the following weeks. Your videos are always so calming, insightful, engaging, and its adorable when your daughter comes to help. Keep up the good work!
These videos have actually helped me a lot when it comes to figuring out how to build my own guitar. I’ve been working on it for over three years now, so it’s relieving to know that I’ll be able to do the neck semi easily once I have the correct tools to do so. Keep up the incredible work!
I simply love that distorsion. The blend mode is amazing because it gives me the opportunity to have a saturated sound mixed with a second tone having a more defined sound with a distinct attack. As with every distorsion pedal it has its limitation I guess but I'm very happy with this purchase !
Normally I skip a bit through these sorts of videos. But this video made me lose all track of time. It was a pleasure to watch and the end result is just perfect! Subscribed
fantastic as always and I might have to steal that teal and tortoise shell combination. Just wondering if you had any reccomendations as to the body carve on a hollowbody build. In your shelf guitar video I noticed you drilled depth holes on one side and routed the other, was there a specific reason for this or was it just experimentation, in which case, which would you reccomend? Cheers mate, can't wait for that next build!!
It's hard to explain because of the way I edited the montage but basically I tried both methods, one on each plate (for the face side at least). For the inner side you just HAVE to drill depth stops :)
That was a brilliant idea to use the dowels to hold together the scarf joint, during glue-up, so it wouldn't slide around when getting clamped. That part gets cut out, anyway, as the build goes on.
Beautiful, simply beautiful! When played clean that guitar has such such a hollow body tone. Yet with lots of gain it is very even and smooth. The laser work for the make and back of headstock information adds a nice touch. You pick the right pickups and hardware. So many fine details I could go on and on. Thanks for sharing!!
Stunning finished product. Looks like a lot of work, but we'll worth it. Sounded great as well, you are a true craftsman. Also love that you got your daughter involved. Thank you for sharing!
EVERY TIME I watch one of your videos I see so much cool, simple shit that I'm shocked I didn't think of. I just did my first laminate neck-through glue-up last night and spread the glue around with a plastic scraper, which works fine, but left a bunch dripping over the edges. I see you using a roller and I'm smacking my forehead with my palm! SO SIMPLE!
C'est toujours aussi bien que ce soit la vidéo, l'ambiance rendu au montage, l'instrument (magnifique...MAGNIFIQUE !!!) avec en plus une sérénité et un apaisement très méditatif. Encore bravo et encore merci !!!
Another amazing guitar build!! Always a pleasure to see your little helper putting her touch on her father's masterpiece!! Thanks for sharing the love my brother 🙏
Alot of guys attempt to hand make instruments on YT, i think you got most of them beat. Liked the gouge on the heel shaping on the body, brilliant. And yep, hard maple is brutal. Soft maple is challenging as well. Your daughter is adorable, stick some safety glasses on her, put her to work soon, good habits should start early. And all that hand work and you pull out the laser for the headstock?? pretty cool. Gotta love the snap of the light swamp ash, great tone. I've seen and liked some of your other projects, this one is very nice, and well done video too.
What a dream it would be to be able to do that. I spent too much time playing. I started as a drummer . Then I had to learn how to play. I could feel the instrument before actually learning how to play. It took over my thoughts for years. But this! ! Amazing. And there’s no doubt of your love for the instrument! thanks. Rock on
It’s nice that your daughter lets you on her channel. :) She is clearly the star of the show. Lol. Beautiful work, by the way. Thank you for sharing it. I enjoyed watching.
This is my type of guitar body through and through. Not my style normally, but this came out beautiful and anyone would be lucky to have an instrument like this for themselves. outstanding
Beautiful build and awesome therapeutic video :) Daughter was so cute: "What's sanding?" That's where I remove your drawing... "argh! That wasn't the rules"
I like your videos very much, they are very relaxing and you can see every passage, you have a great manual and skill, the interaction with your daughter in your passion is wonderful, and in the end, you can play really well, I hope to play like that one day... a hug from Italy! 🇮🇹
Mad respect for how many comments you reply to. And beautiful guitar it honestly blows my mind and good idea for doing the wiring I like the little holder you have lol
My absolute favourite of your builds so far. One of the most stunning finishes ive ever seen i dream of one day building a blue jazz bass for myself and the turqoise binding is definetley going to be part of it.

No kids for me please.
Gorgeous looking guitar and your little girl's reaction to sanding out her art was priceless :)
she REALLY was upset :p
@@tchiksguitars Haha it seems that you misled her on what les règles du jeu were.
why did you remove the art work that was a masterpiece
It’s nice seeing somebody build a guitar that actually has a nice shape to it but still being completely unique
Thanks !
This guy’s a beast for building a great guitar in less than 20 minutes
Having your daughter help you at times is adorable. You do fantastic work and every guitar I have watched you build is great looking and they sound great as well. This one is no exception great guitar.

It must be wonderful to have such a life. Money, tools,, the best materials, and the time to build at such a young age.
It’s been a very challenging week and this video brought me a lot of comfort and a moment to just enjoy a great build. Thanks. I appreciate it. Looking forward to the next one.
thank you so much, I really get the feeling, I also watch soothing videos after a week of stress :) means a lot to me, thanks again!
That wine pump vacuum is brilliant. Thanks for sharing!
Another amazing build my friend! As always, your humour and little family moments really make your videos so much fun too 😊
Thank you !

thank you ! Being a scarf joint the volute wasn't that necessary but I do love volutes so ...
I’m starting a bass build today! Thanks for the ‘how to build a guitar’ tutorial! It will be super helpful!!
Woohoo ! If it's a P or PJ bass, it's more or less the same as a tele :)
SAME !
AND I'M GONNA MAKE PROTOTYPES FOR A NEW INVENTION !!
@@tchiksguitars it’s a pj bass!
Beautiful video, beautiful family, beautiful guitar. You're succeeding at life!
I was literally watching one of your other videos when this came!!
Haha enjoy !
The stain is amazing, that section is my favorite!
You’re such an inspiration. I had always wanted to make my own guitar and now, thanks to your tele build videos, I’ve finally started.

Thank you sapele Steve :) my next build is part sapele again !
Beautiful, I felt your passion and the build was near perfection. Bravo!
U got me in "and it's blue" 😂
I'm starting to talk like my daughter that's why :)
Tchiks videos are always good. The videography is amazing, and I love the pure sound of woodworking.
Thank you !
I admit, I was looking forward to hearing the riff most of all :D it's a beautiful guitar.
Yeah I thought of you guys when I recorded it. " Must - not - disappoint "
It is truly an honor and a privilege to watch a master at his craft. Thank you Misour
Beautiful, an absolute work of art.👌🏻
thanks!
I can't understand what they are speak, but his conversation with daughter makes my heart warm.
Of course, guitar is so beautiful too!
Thanks !

Just love the guitar. Laser etching - way cool. Color is perfect!

That was a brilliant idea to use the dowels to hold together the scarf joint, during glue-up, so it wouldn't slide around when getting clamped. That part gets cut out, anyway, as the build goes on.
yes indeed, I had tested it on my ukulele and it worked wonders
I get more excited about an upload from you than any other channel!
Beautiful! Love seeing kids in the shop! Tones are amazing!
