I don’t play guitar, but I do appreciate the craftsmanship that put into this nice build. I always wanted to play guitar but my brain and fingers don’t compute, so I have to watch and enjoy other people play. I really hope that you have an apprentice so the skills that you have can be passed to the next person. We don’t want these skills lost.
Nice build! I especially like the mahogany neck and rosewood fretboard on a Strat style guitar. The painted headstock is also a nice touch. I love the blue top with the dark back and sides and the top binding. That looks very cool. I also think the Tex-Mex pickups were a nice choice. Some people don't realize how good those pickups can sound (they might overlook them, because they're not super expensive or boutique pickups). I used Tex-Mex Tele pickups on a Telecaster I built, just because they sounded so good. You built an awesome guitar. It's truly something to be proud of.
Good job, couple things… I think you should’ve wet sand and buffed the paint job, put locking tuners and used a real bigsby, made by bigsby not the licensed one. If someone is Going to pay premium price because it’s hand made then everything should be premium but that’s just me.
As one builder to another, phenomenal craftsmanship. Great color and stain choices. I'm currently looking at putting a Bigsby on my latest Mod Build The Kramer Farrington convert let's call it The Teleington elec/accou with a Bigsby, purple/green/orange colorshift front and headstock, black sides and back. Keep up the great work while encouraging others to build also.
Strat: the most beautiful and best sounding el. guitar ever designed! With it's native floating bridge & whammy it is a GORGEOUS instrument; with a bigsby, it is UNREAL.
According to what I've read the compound radius of the fret board is supposed to be 7.25″ radius (184.15mm). You did a good job making that jig to create the radius. 👍
bonjour une très jolie guitare et de belle prise de vue et un beau travail merci pour tout 👍🙋🏻♂️🎸je suppose que c’est une guitare hors de prix merci 🙏
@@greensguitars I probably would not be able to afford your output but I love the craftpersonship (is that a word) and attention to detail. I look forward to your other work.
This is like my 3/4th times watching this video. I've watched many different kind of videos making custom guitar but this is the most (as for me) satisfying build ever. And i really love and enjoy how he's doing here.and I'm waiting for your next project building.❤❤❤ From India.
Love that color! Attention to detail in the worksmanship. Would love to see a build like the Rickenbacher (Tom Petty) or BB King style hollow body electric in the same color. Cheers. (I realize it is a completely different process...).
wow it appeared again in my recommendations, srsly watching this makes me want to learn how to play a guitar though I want it to be the same color as this, since my favorite color is blue.
I built a mahogany Telecaster back around 1971, with a Fender Stratocaster neck (hand routed the neck pocket and all the other stuff), Grover tuners (the screw lips were all in the wrong place and I had to grind them off! I told Grover they needed to move the lip 1/4 around the body of their in-line tuners, and they did!); two SG Standard humbuckings (the proper name for them!), and standard Telecaster bridge PUP. Had the old style Telecaster wiring and a Gibson selector switch to turn on and off, the middle pickup. This boat anchor was and still is a beast.
Lovely build and great craftsmanship, I look forward to seeing more! Interested as to why you went for a Bigsby when a normal strat trem would be... better haha
Strat trem better? Maybe if you like double stops going flat when bending. Bigsby is much simpler with less routing. The longer string length affects the tension as well. Arguably, there is more mass with a bigsby as well. There are definite differences between a bigsby and traditional 6 point Fender style vibrato bridge. Whatever floats your boat.
Cheers! I thought it would be healthy to leave that mistake in the video to show that no one is perfect and that mistakes do happen. Thanks for watching!
Outstanding work. Your skill and attention to detail is encouraging to see. Great taste too… Love, The Bigsby. No, I mean…my name isn’t Bigsby. I’m trying to say that I love the Bigsby but it came out wrong. 🍻
Thanks for the whole technological process of making an electric guitar, I really liked it and kind of serves as a good relaxation, in places it gave me goosebumps like in ASMR, and even knowing how to play - double ecstasy. ❤ Without electric cutting and grinding tools, the manufacturing process would take longer.. 😤 A 3D printer will do it almost instantly 😂
Very Cool Build ,,A few things I would have done differently but I did enjoyed Your Video and the fact you didnt play Heavy Metal at the end and Played something Classy was Awesome ! Good Build !
This is the second video of yours that I've seen and Brother let me say - Your work is amazing! I love the passion you put into this and it's such a joy to see the outcome. Please keep going.... And do let me know if you can build and ship to the US
Okay, So you’re building your partscasters the real way!! Not like I build em’ (assemble pre-carved and fully finished bodies/necks with electronics and hardware..) hehee! 😉
I installed a bigsby on my tele but for some reason I can’t get it to come back up to pitch. I’ve tried every kind of spring and shim. I have roller brass saddles, locking tuners. Bone nut that’s lubbed. Roller string trees. I lubbed the bigsby as well.

The wood guide you use for fretboard face shaping is so clever, i've never seen it before
im proude to say this is my uncle. but this is one beautiful guitar, i dont care whats in it i want 14 of these.
Awesome job, love the "dotless" fretboard
That is one of the most beautiful, handmade guitars I’ve ever seen, awesome job. I hope it plays as good as it looks. Absolutely beautiful.
Thank you very much!
That acetone spill damage on the backside has a cool relic-y affect!
Молодец человек,честь и хвала ,низкий поклон людям умеющим работать руками ,а самое главное желающим этого!
Thank you!
Beautiful color combo and the Bigsby looks completely at home on the strat shape. Well done sir!
Thank you kindly!

Love the strat especially with the Bigsby on it
Oh, what a beauty you made...try to produce them globally, custom orders. Get the status as the Pensa has. Respect!

Amazing job, nicely done! A stratocaster guitar with a Bigsby tremolo is a combination we don't see everyday.
Meticulous is an understatement. Great build!
Classy looking guitar, like a strat and a les paul had a baby, terrific job, I wish I had your workshop and talent!
Stunning guitar mate. Absolutely incredible. Was inspiring to watch. You are a master at your craft.
Thank you! Cheers!
You're the Bob Ross of guitar building. Love it!
wow end great playing at the end to.

Outstanding job making that electric guitar 🎸😊
I love the tone that the bigsby give to the sound of the strings. Good choice. 👍

This colour combo is absolutely mesmerising!
Some very interesting choices (like drilling after painting) but very, very cool build. I enjoyed every minute of it.
beautiful work more upload plz
Looks and sounds dynamite! Thanks for sharing.

A Bigsby on a Strat is absolutley where it's at!
I’m glad you like it!!
Amazing. . Loved the tone. . All the best 👍
Thank you! You too!
Awesome job, definitely worth the hours it took!
Thank you!
I’ve been waiting for a second video! Looks fantastic, great job 👏

Loved the fumble when you were doing the binding. Just shows we’re all human 😂. Loved the video.
speechless... beautiful ! Great Job
Wow, thank you!
That sky blue looks great with the pguard& binding mate,love it& it sounds ace too🫡
The carving of the neck is cool, it does seem like way more work than you actually need to do to get similar results but to each their own.
Love it, such a beautiful colour
That was a really great build. Great job. Really enjoyed. Thanks for sharing.
Sound bytes extra treat appreciated big time sounded amazing!
An aged white pearloid pick guard would make that guitar shine, great job!
What a handsome machine. Great work.
Fantastic video. Enjoyed every bit of it!
Cheers. That’s great 👍
wow it appeared again in my recommendations, srsly watching this makes me want to learn how to play a guitar though I want it to be the same color as this, since my favorite color is blue.

@@viffer5 the bigsby on a strat i thought would look weird but i like it......a good set up Bigsby is better than a strat trem...........
Fantastic watching the video and the result is gorgeous. An individual guitar which is stunning.
Great project! Rubbing compound and a buff would take the orange peel out of the clearcoat.
damn it, i wish i can buy this one! nicely done!
Great you showed the acetone damage as well, just to prove it doesn't always go 100%. Excellent work, great video
Cheers! I thought it would be healthy to leave that mistake in the video to show that no one is perfect and that mistakes do happen. Thanks for watching!
What a nice guitar!Wonna have this!Best work!Thank you!
Thanks!

The Bigsby.
No, I mean…my name isn’t Bigsby. I’m trying to say that I love the Bigsby but it came out wrong. 🍻
Thanks Bigsb…I mean Andrew! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! 👍🍻
Мужик ты крут,очень крутой страт получился,цвет просто отпад!!!!! Как говорится в русской пословице: "Дело мастера боится"
Thank you! 🙏
Great work, nice build. Loved the Bigsby system. Only 1 thing I would recommend you change, get som wood-drills, as I see you use metal-drill :)
Every bit as good as I thought it would be! Love the paint, and did I see a few new tools in there as well?
Fantastic work! Great job!
Most beautiful guitar Ive ever seen!🎸💙
Thanks! I’m glad you think so!
Shear perfection friend great work, have a nice day, Brian UK !!!.😀😀👍👍.

Great job, beautiful guitar!
Beautiful guitar
Fantastic build. I watched the entire video, and it gave me some great ideas. Thank you.

Really great!
Great video!
Amazing guitar. Gteat job buddy. Love it man 👍💯👋👏👏🎸🎸
Cheers! Thanks for watching!
14:56 What kind of improvised neck radius cutting jig is that??! Amazing!
Very good process but I think at 17:58 you forgot to remove the tape above the truss rod while placing the fretboard rosewood top. 😮
My lord, I'd buy that guitar. I'd buy it so hard.
You put my faith back in rattle cans lol
Verry good hand made
wow so nice bro 👍🏻
Excellent realization with few tools. Is the color Lake Placid Blue? Congratulations, keep it up.
Thank you! The colour is actually Mitsubishi Cyber Blue. Not as exciting or traditional a name as Lake Placid Blue 😅
Beautiful!!
I installed a bigsby on my tele but for some reason I can’t get it to come back up to pitch. I’ve tried every kind of spring and shim.
I have roller brass saddles, locking tuners. Bone nut that’s lubbed. Roller string trees. I lubbed the bigsby as well.
