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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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 🙏
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!
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.
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.
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.
I got to see this video today on Thanksgiving 2024 and I loved what you did with the guitar. I had a guitar with a bigbsy on it before and they are low maintained I loved mine , my next one is going to have one. Great video man .by the way I liked the video and subscribed you take have a good Christmas
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
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.
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 😂
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.

That acetone spill damage on the backside has a cool relic-y affect!
Love the strat especially with the Bigsby on it
Beautiful color combo and the Bigsby looks completely at home on the strat shape. Well done sir!
Thank you kindly!
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!

Meticulous is an understatement. Great build!
The wood guide you use for fretboard face shaping is so clever, i've never seen it before
I love the tone that the bigsby give to the sound of the strings. Good choice. 👍
Молодец человек,честь и хвала ,низкий поклон людям умеющим работать руками ,а самое главное желающим этого!
Thank you!
Stunning guitar mate. Absolutely incredible. Was inspiring to watch. You are a master at your craft.
Thank you! Cheers!
Oh, what a beauty you made...try to produce them globally, custom orders. Get the status as the Pensa has. Respect!

A Bigsby on a Strat is absolutley where it's at!
I’m glad you like it!!
Love the 'slow video' feel of this clip. And the craftsman gets a new toy. Great looking guitar.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it

Classy looking guitar, like a strat and a les paul had a baby, terrific job, I wish I had your workshop and talent!
Looks and sounds dynamite! Thanks for sharing.
You're the Bob Ross of guitar building. Love it!
Outstanding job making that electric guitar 🎸😊
Some very interesting choices (like drilling after painting) but very, very cool build. I enjoyed every minute of it.
Loved the fumble when you were doing the binding. Just shows we’re all human 😂. Loved the video.
I’ve been waiting for a second video! Looks fantastic, great job 👏
Thank you! Cheers!
I will buy it for $2999
@@dominicstewart9999 I’ll out bid you!
@@AnnaBell-rq8vf well you wouldn't lose the money and Bill wouldn't lose the guitar
Haha
Amazing job, nicely done! A stratocaster guitar with a Bigsby tremolo is a combination we don't see everyday.
What a nice guitar!Wonna have this!Best work!Thank you!
Thanks!
speechless... beautiful ! Great Job
Wow, thank you!

Мужик ты крут,очень крутой страт получился,цвет просто отпад!!!!! Как говорится в русской пословице: "Дело мастера боится"
Thank you! 🙏
Amazing work sir. Thanks for the video
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.
Loved the video, that was great!
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Du très beau travail avec de véritables connaissances.
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 :)
It would have been more shiny if you used a polisher or a buff, but your work is very good

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?
Amazing guitar. Gteat job buddy. Love it man 👍💯👋👏👏🎸🎸
Cheers! Thanks for watching!
gorgeous!!
Great job keep building I imagine Les Paul is next I hope
Beautiful guitar
very beautiful!
Всегда восхищаюсь столярам, хороший инструмент у Вас получается. Спасибо
Outstanding work. Your skill and attention to detail is encouraging to see. Great taste too…

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! 👍🍻
I thought to install the bigsby you need the strings. Amazing job by the way 🎉
Cool guitar. Thanks! 👍

14:56 What kind of improvised neck radius cutting jig is that??! Amazing!
Beautiful!!
Really great!
Keep going bro love your videos
Cheers!
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 😅
Sounds so good !
Great job!
How much "actual time" did it take.?
wow so nice bro 👍🏻
Very cool build, just wondering why you didn’t polish the clear coat?
yeah, i was wondering that too. There's still orange peel on the guitar
Maybe its not lacquer
increible, excelente trabajo
Bloody lovely
An aged white pearloid pick guard would make that guitar shine, great job!
My lord, I'd buy that guitar. I'd buy it so hard.
Great project! Rubbing compound and a buff would take the orange peel out of the clearcoat.
great work mate!
Thank you! Cheers!
You put my faith back in rattle cans lol
