Even an atheist like me can appreciate the love that goes into what you do and how your faith helps you to feel that sense of purpose, as it also helps people like your cousin-in-law to find a better path in life. Beautiful video, beautiful guitar.
Totally agree! Whatever the means to an end.Also an atheist in recovery,I can see where faith based programs allow some to shed the guilt until they're prepared to deal with it.
Guilt is related to a vast variety of things. And religion is full of flawed people just like the secular world. Regardless of faiths or beliefs, I think we can all agree that even the best and purest of people need help and support at times. Thanks to Dan for always finding great ways to showcase this!
Ilker Yücel awesome looking Guitar, saw a 12 string Rikenbaker electric hollow body yesterday, the tuners on the head stock were crazy looking, 3 look like an Electric style, the other 3 are more like Classical style placement and it was only 12k$ and i agree about the finding the lord thing, whatever works for people and helps them accomplish their goals i say good on ya Fam! No reason to judge someone for what they believe in, im sure you wouldnt like it
Dan, I’m sorry to tell you, I think you’re right. That might be the best looking guitar you’ve ever built. Love your channel. Been watching since the “green screen” days. Keep it up and be safe out there.
Wow Dan, I've been a huge fan of your channel and you inspired me to build a guitar of my own, but this video had me in tears. I'm so thankful for you and people like Josh who give back like this.
He said that this was the best gift he ever had in his life and it's probably true. Congratulations on the great guitar, it's awesome. And his story was heart-touching, he totally deserves the guitar.
This has to be my favorite video you have done to date. Beautiful guitar and beautiful story. I think you have found your ministry through your videos.
I've been following your channel a few weeks now and my first kit is arriving tomorrow. I haven't gone through all your vids yet so I'm not sure if you've been open about your faith before today or if today was "the day". Either way, huge props to you for risking the potential backlash that can come with it. Our faith is our life and sharing it with everyone is our mission but its many times easier said than done. Not that my opinion matters, but I'm beyond proud of you and know that God will continue to bless you, your family, and your channel. Also, while its largely meaningless in the grand scale of things, pretty impressed by you giving away your Rick kit. Knowing how rare they are and such. Keep it up man!
He has always been open about his faith. He does it in a way that doesnt force it upon the people who dont want to hear it though. Which is a good thing imho. I feel that forcing Jesus on the lost is what turns them off to God all together. Its a fine line we have to walk when witnessing.
Bryan Wayne Oh I couldn’t agree more about “forcing” it on people. 100% the wrong approach to do that. I think his approach is the right way. I also hadn’t seen his RV channel until today after making the initial comment.
@@1980bwc With respect, could you please not refer to us as "the lost", that would imply we don't know what we're doing and fumbling around blindly. Many of us have chosen what our faith is by our own choice rather then just simply "being lost". I personally have chosen Lucifer as my mentor, but even though our faiths are conflicting, I'd certainly never say you are "lost" for having chosen Christ, that's your decision to make, and to say you are "lost" because of it is invalidating your decision and your faith in a back-handed sort of way. Small note that us children of Lucifer are generally nice people, there are some radicals, but the same is true of all religions. When the day comes that I die, I'll find out which religion is correct, regardless, I'll be happy with the path I chose, because I chose it.
great video im a recovered alcoholic been sober for a long time and can say i feel great. God has chased me down all my life,to get me where i am now. love what you do thanks
As someone who struggled with addiction myself to the point where I ended up 16 years ago in a treatment facility I know first hand how valuable that work is. Great gift Dan
Dan you're such an awesome person and that finish is awesome! Never been a rickenbacker fan, but that guitar sounds great! Especially in the hands of a talented musician.
Love this story dude! great channel and it inspired me to build my own guitar from a kit on my channel, i used your excellent guidance as reference material and the promo code you offered, so thanks 👍
This was my favorite of your videos yet, Dan. I loved how you showcased Josh’s transformation. We will overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of our TESTIMONY. The best way to spread the Gospel is to share testimony of those it changed. Keep it up! You blessed me today.
Good on you for giving it away, if I built something that beautiful I would never be able to give it to someone else. You and your channel keeps getting better and better!
This is one of the most wholesome RUclips videos I’ve ever seen! Amazing guitar, and a well deserving individual to play it. Just goes to show that family is one of the most powerful things out there.
I can't even speak! Very touching story, decent build, beautiful sound, awesome playing, and like others, tears welled up in my eyes! You both GO! The world needs people like both of you! And this Dan would have built him one too!
I've never commented on any of your videos before but this has got to be the best one (so far) yet. Way to go Dan. Awesome story. Great story-telling while watching you create this absolutely beautiful piece of art.
I want you both to know that your work in helping people is not going unnoticed... Thank you for your dedication to helping those who suffer from addiction. The work you put in does not go unnoticed and it sure as hell does not go unappreciated. As a fellow teacher and Christian, I am so proud of you two and so amazed by your generosity of spirit...
His face when he saw the guitar was priceless. Not a Christian myself but to see a life changed that way is beautiful to see what the faith, love and care could do. Great work Dan. Lots of respect.
A beautiful guitar and a beautiful story. I thought I would watch just a few clips to see the before and after of the guitar build and I ended up watching the full 23 minutes during my working day without realising. Totally engrossed!
This was possibly the best guitar build I've ever watched. It's not only an awesome guitar, but the story is really what makes this video. It's so encouraging to hear your cousin's story and how he's helping lead people to Christ. You've definitely earned a subscriber here!
Such a nice episode : ) being sober from alcohol for over two years now, I know the importance of having a group of brothers and sisters who have been through it to walk beside you and lift you up. Praise God for His love, and so thankful for the people who He put into my life when I was at my lowest!
Your videos have been buried in my feed by RUclips’s algorithm for months now. I randomly decided to check on the channel and stumbled upon this video. Truly inspiring. As someone who loves guitars and comes from a family with a lot of addiction, it was heartwarming hearing Josh’s story and watching you build him an incredible guitar. I’m not the most religious man myself, but I am thankful for religious based programs that help pull people away from addiction. My father got clean in a similar program and I am eternally grateful for that. Hopefully more people have the same success Josh has had.
Just...WOW! This is your best video yet. Amazing build, heart warming story and flawless editing. Sending prayers to Josh, his family and his ministry.
Dude, you really did an incredible job on this one. Especialy i love the "burst", I would love to have the same on my bass. And the way he grabbed the guitar away from you i can tell he instantly fell in love with it. Great job.
@@GunsandGuitars Definitely. I love the guitar videos. I watched all the knife sharpening videos and I was waiting for a long guitar video and man you delivered :)
I’ve been a long time watcher, and I don’t think I’ve ever commented on a RUclips vid, but I am LOVING the way you’re putting the gospel in your videos lately. It’s very encouraging to see someone use their platform for that. I’m a worship leader, and gig on the weekends, and have gained a lot of knowledge from watching your content. I also LOVE the engraving you did on the back. I need that on one of my guitars, very cool man.
As one who works in a ministry organization that works with those who are drug & alcohol addicted, and who are primarily homeless, and who works to see lives changed by the Gospel, I love this. It's so great to see what God has done in this life, and continues to do in lives all over the world. And as one who recently did my first ever guitar kit (why I discovered your channel), I love what you did on that guitar! It is beautiful, it sounds beautiful, and I love how you put Philippians 4:13 on the back of the instrument. You're inspiring me to my next build (if I can get my wife to allow me to do it). Very cool, and thanks so much for sharing this wonderful story of a changed life, and a very, very nice guitar build!
I just watched this for the first time Dan, and I am really amazed at you're gifts from the Lord. I am subscribing .....This guitar and the verse on the back says it all! Excellent work.
I’ve had the honor of working for Adult & Teen Challenge Pacific Northwest for the last ten years. I love to hear the stories of transformed lives and see men like Josh walking in their calling. Thanks for blessing him with a sweet guitar! If you ever want to bring the RV to Oregon, we’ve got a place for you to park!
Great job Dan!! This reminds me of how we should use all of our talents to glorify The Lord. So proud of Josh for his courage to share his story and help others.
This was an excellent use for that kit. It really is one of the most beautiful builds I’ve ever seen and it sounds even better. You knocked this build and video so far out of the park Babe Ruth is shedding tears! Please thank your cousin for sharing his story, it was truly inspiring and good for him for changing his life and for the work and effort he and his wife put in to help others do the same. Thank you bro, this was a wonderful experience!
Awesome video, great story, I love hearing from people that have made it out of addiction and into recovery. So many people don't get that chance. Also, awesome awesome awesome guitar man!!!!
As a man who has battled addiction and come out the other side, this video was truly inspiring. Now I have an amazing wife and 2 great lil boys to give me purpose in life. I damaged my kidneys from drugs but I just received a transplant from an amazing faith filled friend. So much to be grateful for! The guitar is so beautiful, great job Dan and awesome story.
Love the video. Killer guitar, killer tones, killer playing, killer ministry. Keep it coming Dan. Btw, I enjoyed the Knife stuff but it’s nice to get back to the guitars!
Thank you for your cousins appearance and story. I can relate. I have medical conditions from birth. Along with addiction problems for many years. My daughter was 3 months old when I met her. She and music saved my life. Now I'm married, and sober.
The guitar was a great gift, but the greatest gift given to your relative was finding himself through the Lord. The self love and respect that comes with sobriety. A chance to start over and help others are the priceless gifts. God bless him and you. Thanks for video !
Dan, I like the finish - very nice. You know you can buy tuner conversion bushes from places like Stewmac & ebay? They're only a few bucks off ebay (lots more at stewmac). They just press into the 10.5mm holes already drilled without stuffing around with shims and re-drilling.
Great customisation of the guitar Dan. Giving the guitar away to help support this ministry is great 👍 So good to hear about this ministry & helping to change people’s lives for Christ. Great stuff guy’s 🎸🙏
I am absolutely in love with this guitar build but even more, I am loving that you're incorporating faith and good character building into your kit builds now.
I've been following your guitar kit builds for a while now and I'm looking forward to seeing personality building being Incorporated in to your channel content.
Amazing guitar, but even more amazing video and story. Love your stuff, what you do, the spirit in which you do it, and the artistry with which you do it. A+ on all counts.
I just happened to be chopping onions while watching this video 😢, God bless you Dan ☝️. As a believer I have seen many testimonies of addicts who have been set free through the saving power of the cross, I pray the Lord would continue to bless your channel and may His favor and grace continue to cover you and your family. Your brother in Christ from Texas 👍
Wowowowowowow!!!! Absolutely my favorite build! Great work and super extra AMEN bonus points to you, Dan, for gifting this to Josh! Keep on going Josh, you've been through the worst to give others your best. RW
Great build and even better testimony!! Love to see men overcoming their demons and then giving back to other men. Thanks Josh for what you do and good on you Dan for blessing him with that lovely Rick 😊. God Bless yo uh both!👍👍
I LOVE this guitar!!! and... I LOVE that you gave it away. Everything about it is awesome! I especially love the style of the verse graphic that you carved on the back- It goes perfectly with the guitar, and with this particular guitars purpose. Keep up the awesome videos!

Haha thanks for bearing with me through the “experimental” phase of my channel! And thanks for the encouragement man. I appreciate you
Thanks for making my husband sooooo happy Dan! You and your family bring so much joy to our family! ♥️
Thanks Kiara! We love you guys so much and have truly enjoyed our time here with you guys
This is the content I'm here for! Guitars + ministry are the best combo.
Thanks Julian! I agree (obviously) haha!
God is so good all of the time. What a testimony. Thanks for sharing that!
Agreed, thanks Patrick!
He was so stoked to receive that beautiful guitar. That is awesome.
Your wife is getting amazing at editing..way to go Mrs Thompson!!
This needs to be said more. Props to Mama Guns
Wow Dan, I've been a huge fan of your channel and you inspired me to build a guitar of my own, but this video had me in tears. I'm so thankful for you and people like Josh who give back like this.
Awesome video . Combining Josh's story with the build and his own jams was a great idea . The guitar looks and sounds great. Bless you both

you're a kind soul Dan. may you be blessed in all you do.

Beautiful guitar and a beautiful friendship and a beautiful gesture to give your very best to one that you love. Thank you!

Top notch video man!!!! You've got quite a heart. I enjoyed the testimony as well. Josh is a lucky dude ;) That's a beast of a guitar!

That is such a beautiful instrument built by a beautiful soul.
All the best to you and yours mate.
Thanks for sharing.
Wow thanks so much for the encouragement mark! It means the world to me :)
That guitar is magnificent. Excellent job. Great respect to you and your cousin. That's what it's about bro.
The Rickenbacker you made on here definitely became a dream guitar and an inspiration!!
Great build and even better story
Thanks Loren!
That man is terrific at jamming. Giving him that guitar was a great idea because of how good he sounds playing it.
SO SO GREAT Dan!!! Well done buddy!
Powerful testimony! Cool guitar! All around a good video :) thanks for bringing something fresh to the world of RUclips guitar channels
That's so nice of you and a wonderful success story Josh told.
Thank you for your cousins appearance and story. I can relate. I have medical conditions from birth. Along with addiction problems for many years. My daughter was 3 months old when I met her. She and music saved my life. Now I'm married, and sober.
You are really getting good at this. And blessing someone else is really what life is all about. Great video.
Wow Dan thanks this is really a blessing to me, I love what you did in and through this guitar build.
The guitar was a great gift, but the greatest gift given to your relative was finding himself through the Lord. The self love and respect that comes with sobriety. A chance to start over and help others are the priceless gifts. God bless him and you. Thanks for video !

Beautiful. Gifts from the heart are their own reward, and often lead to more.
I just cant handle it man.... I knew it was coming and then BAM. The Lord.
Congratulations on changing your life, but you did it yourself.
Great customisation of the guitar Dan. Giving the guitar away to help support this ministry is great 👍 So good to hear about this ministry & helping to change people’s lives for Christ. Great stuff guy’s 🎸🙏
Thanks so much Nathan! I appreciate the encouragement this morning :)
Dan this is your best video so far production, storyline, purpose, build, music Just such a great thing to do You'll be blessed even more
I am absolutely in love with this guitar build but even more, I am loving that you're incorporating faith and good character building into your kit builds now.

Wowowowowowow!!!! Absolutely my favorite build! Great work and super extra AMEN bonus points to you, Dan, for gifting this to Josh! Keep on going Josh, you've been through the worst to give others your best. RW
I couldn’t agree more, Josh is using his horrid past to make a better future for the lives of these men
Without a doubt, the best stain combo I have ever seen. Well done, and it will be stolen for my build.
Haha thanks David! Gotta give credit where it’s due, the color combo was my wife’s idea!

I LOVE this guitar!!! and... I LOVE that you gave it away. Everything about it is awesome! I especially love the style of the verse graphic that you carved on the back- It goes perfectly with the guitar, and with this particular guitars purpose. Keep up the awesome videos!
A beautiful guitar and an even more beautiful story. God bless.
