- M I Tarr Guitars. PART 2 of 3 Guitar Documentary of building a Telecaster style guitar.
The documentary is a fly on the wall day to day working life of Music Tutor/Luthier and Photographer Michael Tarr. The Ex British Steel Electrical Engineer working from his home Workshop and Studio in South Wales United Kingdom.
No explanation or narration is need, just watch and I hope you enjoy the film.
I film my guitar making progress to give enjoyment to others with an interest in guitars. And for my Children and Grandchildren.

Nothing feels better on a guitar than a rolled neck , so much more comfortable too play .
Cheers Mark and your right there about the neck. Mike

Hi Alex. Many thanks for you comment, it is very much appreciated. pleased you liked the guitar. Mike
beautiful & outstanding craftmanship ! best part was watching the lil man help ~ 30 yrs from now he will probably still be building your guitars . what a awesome legacy .
Hi Michael. Many thanks for a wonderful comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the film. Oliver and myself and planning a single cut guitar next, we will be starting it the spring. Thanks again... Stay safe Mike
Just started on my maple top mahogany body tele. The mahogany is actually reclaimed from a window frame. It's going to be my 5th build - in my backyard using only hand tools. I learned about planing the top halves and will do a better job now. Thanks for sharing.
Hello Alfred. All the best with your build, and enjoy to process. Not all jobs go to plan but you will learn something with every build you take on. Many thank for your comment, it is very much appreciated. Mike
Beautiful work, a pleasure to watch. Thank you 🙂
Many thanks, pleased you enjoyed the video. Mike
How wonderful to see the little lad working with his grandpa and he stuck with it. Wet sanding is so boring but the little feller did a good job. Wonderful memories for both.
Hello Russell. Thank you so much for your comment. And you could have not summed it up better. That is what it is all about, and for others to get enjoyment out of the film is the icing on the cake. Many thanks Mike
Bravo sir, bravo. A beautiful piece of craftsmanship.
Thank you, your comment it very much appreciated. Best wishes Mike
It is so cool that you had your grandson help! I think that is wonderful,
Hello Jeff. Thank you for your comment, it is very much appreciated. It’s all for the children really and for others like yourself who get enjoyment out of the film. Thank you and Best wishes Mike.
With the love put into making that beauty, I guess it's a keeper huh? After watching this, I'm sure I'll have better dreams tonight apart from the bit when you tell me it's not for sale!
Hi Richard. Yes its a keeper to go with the Stratocaster I made last year for my RUclips. But it has proven so popular from it woods used point of view, I should consider doing another. Many thanks for you comment, it is very much appreciated. Best wishes Mike
Stunning , Stunning , Stunning ,, Bravo Sir
Hi Brad. Thanks for your comment, glad you enjoyed the film.. Mike

Loved watching this video through tradesman at work well done shane from OZ
Cheers Shane...very much appreciated. Mike
From all the work you've put in that neck I bet it feels like it's been in your hand ever since you can remember
Thank you for your comment.. Mike
Labour of love !
Major Twang. It is indeed, but very enjoyable. Hope you enjoyed the films. Thank you...Mike
From what I can see the real skill here is patience. Taking the time to look into the detail. I've learned a lot. I've a lot to learn. Thx.
Hi David. Thank you for your comment, it is much appreciated. Patience and time effect people differently. On many jobs I won't do them in one go, like fretwork or carving the neck. I will split them so jobs don't get tiring. Just enjoy your build and the guitar will turn out fine.Best wishes from South Wales Mike.
Hats off
Great build
Thank you Ted, Very much appreciated...Mike
Truly a sell-your-soul-to-the-devil-to-own instrument. Stunning workmanship. Love the detailing crew and the paint shop 'curtains'. Thanks.

Rafael. I cant say how much i love having him with me. He's really good with his hands. thanks for the comment..Mike
Wow! Just perfect! Tks for sharing all your knowledge.
Hi Franco. Many thanks for your Comment...Mike
It was really beautiful. Right up until the sunburst.
What was wrong with the sunburst finish?
Took away from what was a beautiful guitar.
@@danielgregory9564 that much was apparent from your original comment. In what way? Is there something wrong with the finish? Or you just don’t like sunbursts? Would you prefer no finish at all or a solid finish? I’m just trying to understand why you feel the sunburst took away beauty...
I have three guitars in different shades of sunburst. Love all three. But some shades are not appealing. This combination is what is commonly referred to as clown burst. The colors clash. Historically, guitar manufacturers painted their guitars in sunburst because they had defects in the woodgrain. This is not the case here. This top is ABSOLUTELY beautiful. Don't get me wrong. This is a beautiful guitar. I just don't care for the color scheme.
@@danielgregory9564 got it! Thanks for clarifying. I myself am a les Paul lover and I love “Iced Tea” bursts where the flame shows through to the edges. I can see what you mean here.
Really amazing. Great job!! I really enjoyed to watch this build!!
Many thank for you comment Thorben. Glad you enjoyed the film.Mike
Beautiful. What a nice set of videos for your children and grandchildren to see you at the top of your game. Great idea.
Hi Geoff. Many thanks for your comment and that you understand what I’m all about. Myself and Oliver are looking into the spring guitar build, with his sister Rose and a new member Florence. It will be fun with them. Many thank. Mike
@@mitarrguitars you are more than welcome. Looking forward to checking out your Les Paul 59 Jr. build. Also super cool to see “Made in Wales” on the headstock. We don’t see much of that here in the states.
What a stunning guitar. Fantastic work and thank you for sharing this.
Hi Darylkc. Many thanks for your comment. Stay safe Mike
Just absolutely beautiful. Great build.
Hello John. Many thanks for you comment, it is very much appreciated. Best wishes from South Wales UK... Mike
Fret work was amazing. Wow. Master!
Hi Paul. Thanks for your comment. I do enjoy the fret work, taking your time is the think. Stay safe Mike
So pretty!
Thank you👍
You know what...? I love a very tidy workshop ! A true artisan craftsman.
"Do you know Oliver, one day all this will be yours"....(fingers crossed)...
Hello Lynda. I hope so. And a tidy workshop is a safe workshop. Glad you like it the film. Best wishes Mike
@@mitarrguitars Correct Mike...safety at all times....a place for every thing and every thing in its place !
Thanks for sharing this video of your process, this guitar just turned out amazing
Hi Dave. Thanks for your comment. Mike
Beautiful guitar. Excellent skill.
Thank you very much Alan for your comment..Mike
I think the little boy is the one who did all the hard work! :)
Also, your compressor is as small as mine :)
Yes Your right he did. You don’t need a big compressor to spray a guitar. Many do it with Cans. Thank you for the comment. Mike
Amazing build, mate. Such a lovely tone too.
I only live in Barry, I'll pop in the next time I'm off up the Beacons. 👌🏴 🙂
Bob you will be more than welcome. I have spent many happy childhood days in Barry island. From Sunday school when I was a kid to taken my grandchildren. I’ll be more then happy for you to pop in, we are 2 miles max from the Beacons . Thanks for the comment it’s is very much appreciated. Even more so from Barry. Best Wishes, Diolch yn fawr a noson dda. Mike and Oliver
@@mitarrguitars
Thanks for that lovely reply, Mike.
I used to go to Sunday school myself. Would've been the late 60's. Unfortunately it never made any difference. 😂😉
I'll definitely pop in next time I'm up.

Very nice
Thank you Andy, its one of my favourite guitars. Mike
You are the man, Michael! Such a great job, I loved every second of your videos!

Great Mike 🤘
Nice build videos! I love how you let the video speak for its self without any unnecessary dialog. Love the apprentice.
Hi Jim. I’ve had a lot of comments lately, but your is the best. I are 100% seeing what I’m trying to put over. Some really enjoy the film but don’t understand the silence. I thank you very much for the comment. And Oliver is a star, loves it in the workshop. Stay safe Jim E... Mike
Wow! It's so beautiful and amazing. ❤

love those clamps that resemble a caulking gun. great film, thanks so much.
Hi Paul, I’ve had the clamps 25 years or more. They are great and very strong. You can get them but hard to get hold of now days. Thanks for your comment, glad you enjoyed the film. Stay safe Mike
@@mitarrguitars i am converting my caulking guns into clamps lol
Amazing built! Congrats!
Thank you. Mike
Wow, that is fantastic. A great example of why it's nice to learn a trade or two :) beautiful work.

Beautiful guitar thanks for sharing 👊
Thank you James... Mike
Gut gemacht!!!
Danke für den Kommentar. Ich bin froh, dass es dir gefallen hat. Mike
It's absolutely beautiful. If I was too order a custom shop guitar, this would be the finish. And I'm a big fan of the traditional vintage tint necks, as opposed to the more and more common satin or raw wood finish. Great job. Thanks for the vid.
Hi P.S Many thanks for your comment. I'm pleased you enjoyed the film, and yes i agree with you on the neck vintage tint, it looks great, and a joy to play. Thanks again. Stay safe ...Mike
Really great video and a top Grandad . Superb guitar glad to see made in Wales .
Hi Richard. Many thanks for you comment, It is very much appreciated. From a sunny South Wales for a change. Mike
Great. A great professional. Congratulations ! Here from Brazil.

Hey I love your shirt I'm a true blue Detroit boy .
Hi Mark. Thanks for the comment, I like my Detroit Tee shirt also. Hope you enjoyed the film. Mike…South Wales
Beautiful guitar. Very nice work. I'm about to start a thinline build so I really enjoyed watching your video.
Hi 4phunbob, Thanks for your comment it is very much appreciated. The thinline build will be very similar to my Telecaster, just get the F hole cut accurate. A good template is the answer. I've never made one but high on my list to build with Oliver. Best wishes. Mike
What a great series. I have taken up guitar building in retirement. More parts building than anything. I'm buying neck/bodies and putting it together with the hardware. This is enjoyable during lock-down but nothing near what you are doing. To have all the various skills that can make a guitar out of a couple of pieces of wood is fantastic. The finished product looks and sounds amazing. It gave me a great insight into how things are done. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Graydon. Thanks for your comment and I am pleased you got a lot out of the films. If I can be of any help just ask. Stay safe and enjoy you retirement with a great hobby. Best wishes..Mike
Amazing skills, knowledge and tools you have. I wish I had a chance to take some lessons from you Sir.
Thank you Jacek. Glad you enjoyed the films. Best wishes from Wales UK..Mike
Absolutely beautiful, Da Iwan Diolch
HI working class rebel. Thank for you comment, glad you enjoyed the build. Pob dymuniad da o Dde Cymru. Mike
😆 lol!...Love it! A budding player and Luthier in the 👪...Nice 👌!!
He keeps me entertained Rafi. Thanks for your comment.Mike.
That is the best thing for scrap sand paper. Popsicle sticks, Square ended chop sticks and tongue depressors. Glue up a bunch of sanding sticks. Cut the bristles off old electric tooth brushes and glue a cut piece of the sanding stick on.
Hi Buhda. Many thanks for you comment it is very much appreciated. Hope you enjoyed the film. Mike
Great job 😁👏🙌👍
Thank you Paulo. 👍👍👍
Meticulous work on a gorgeous guitar.
Thank you Quixotic Jedi for you comment, glad you liked the film..

You take extra care and do really nice work. I always enjoy watching your build videos.
And a Blackberry Smoke fan too, I see. One of my favorite bands.
Hi Gee. Thanks for your comment. Starting a new film in the next few weeks. Mike
