- It took me about 8 months to finish the building process.
It's not an easy task by any means, many steps I did several times,
(bending the sides for example).

If you have any questions, please comment, I'll do my best to answer!
funny story. two years ago I watched your tele build, and I think it was the first time I ever saw a guitar build, by anyone. Within the week I ordered a spindle sander and a shinto rasp with the intention to make my very first guitar, but I was petrified and kept telling myself that it would be " the next project ", or "I'm not ready yet" (I just started woodworking), and now two years later, you've subscribed to my channel, dedicated to building guitars :)
I forgot to say, very nice build, once again you inspire me to do things, and I thank you for that!
thanks bro, makes me very happy to hear that I had a tiny part in your journey. you're doing a nice work and I'm happy to be your subscriber. thanks for sharing the story ! made my day :)
I"m a Custom Builder Of Guitars & Basses... I have not built an acoustic yet but Really aware of everything that goes's into building one... That Was beyond Excellent for your first time out of the gate Dude...Your Design Was Original and Refreshing ... Hope to see you build another... Thanks for sharing ...
Hey, you're welcome! Thank you for watching and leaving a comment, didn't expect luthiers to watch my video though :) I hope to upload new builds in the future
lol, My cat was sitting in front of the TV watching the build video and literally face to face when your black cat flashed on the screen sitting in front of the finished guitar. She just froze. Great build BTW.
:))))))
Personally I have a different style, but, well done.
Im looking into guitar building my self, and I find your builds very helpful and encouraging.
Thanks!! really happy to hear you find my videos inspiring in someway, this kind of comments encourages me to continue shooting videos like this one
Wow watching this was so relaxing. You are so detailed in what you do. I want to make a guitar. At first it was because I wanted to give this nice gift to a friend but now I dont know if he is a friend but the obsession has moved to building a guitar....
You are truly skilled, my friend, and have a very cool and unique design. Cheers
Good job bro
Absolutely love this vid and the guitar. A real work of art.
awesome work for your first one! I really like the design.
I knew of a kid who started a cardboard guitar project. I was anxiously waiting until he reached the neck; relief, action, frets LOL
Your cat is the best.
Under-bench go-bar deck! Really clever.
:)
Really nice job man. Nice arrangement of Hurt too.
Thanks :)
I really enjoyed watching you build this beautiful guitar. 🎸🎶🎶🎶
I love the Johnny Cash song
How did you craft the body of your guitar? By hands or by the use of any software? I am planning to make an acoustic guitar all by myself, my first challenge is to choose the wood on the basis of price and crafting the body....
maybe it will be a good idea to start from electric guitar? acoustic is much more complicate to build and require many jigs and special tools
Amazing design!
great
i'd love to see a step-by-step tutorial of this. great guitar mate, pretty good job!!!
Thanks. I'll think about what I can do.
considering how long acoustic guitar takes to make for anyone that's not in a professional shop built around acoustic guitar making, I'd say a tutorial would be incredibly hard and long to make. However, maybe someone(maybe even me) will do it one day.
I got hurt just by listening to this :D
Nice Job! Not sure if you know this but neck meets the body exactly at the 14th fret
Thanks for the tip, I didn't know. I did a lot of improvisation with this guitar build. I think next time, I'll try to learn better and build the standard way.
I have the book you show in the beginning, you should have read it thouroughly before starting. Nice built but there is a lot more in making it a real instrument, considering the amount of time and money you put into it. Now string it and let us hear the result! Good video.
@@SuperJupiter9 Hey, you're right, before I do my next guitar, I'll take the time to read this book and some more books I have on this topic. You can watch me playing on this guitar here : ruclips.net/video/_2ZM_NANuTA/видео.html
Does it matter if the scale is correct?? i don't think so its just a tradition not a rule!
@@yojik_creates_stuff I just listen to it, very nice sound and playing! Congratulations, impressive results.
What an amazing build, for any stage of lutherie, especially for your first acoustic guitar. I’m blown away by the fundamentals, the sound hole placements (especially the matching hole on the fretboard) and the appointments from the beveled arm rest to the headstock.
Your playing is excellent and I wouldn’t mind seeing more closeups of the armrest inlays, for example. I’m limited to a smartphone currently so it’s hard to see some of the details.
Did you decide on the sound hole design to avoid warping of the top or for sound or both?
Very impressive 👍
whats the best place to buy the wood you used? nice job too
stewmac.com
WOW...great job !!! but i think there's a missing part of the video, you didn't show how you cut the shape on the part of the body where our arm rest when we are playing. ( just curious). It' just suddenly appear the cut off on that part of the guitar.
Did you read the book?
Which quality grade of spruce did you use?
AA? the cheapest. didn't want to experiment with expensive wood before I understand how it all works
good video for asleeping. Your videos make me asleep because of video speed. Thank you. I have some problems about sleep
What was the book you were looking at in the beginning of the video?
thank you
You're welcome! thank you for watching!
Beautiful guitar and video. Thx for sharing :)
ohh i wish i had that much equipment...to make guiter..
It took some time to collect the equipment :) ~ 2 years
i have no guitar so i decided to make myself...but it'll spends more than 1 guitar even electric..
Does it make music too or is just for decoration? I didn’t see you putting strings at all
Thanks for the video had to mute the sound though!
no problem ) your welcome!
Hey bud great build, can you please link the Johnny cash cover song for me, its awesome!

Build a guitar at home? Who have all that carpenter tools at home?
me ) but not the heavy stuff. mostly hand tools and a table. currently have a separate room for all of this. Can't afford a special workshop for what is for now a hobby.
Takes years to accumulate every tool you need..
@@strawman3059 something like 2 years in my case, although I don't have all the tools luthiers use.
But you haven't played with it so basically its not yet finish.
check my next video. you can find a link in the description.
Beautiful Guitar, Wonderful craftsmanship but, what's with the cat?
That's what cats do :) appear, disappear...that stuff.
The cat must have been sacrificed to the Gods of Guitar.
How else do you think this project was actually successful?
;)
@@imbra Not sacrificed but, was willing to get a blessing from them for me :) it appeared back in the end.
The background sound is painful.
Good job though
Yeah, sorry for that :) just put some random stuff, still learning how and what to use when.
I don’t even understand how someone learns this
play on it
will post a video in a few days!
hey, posted a video with me playing recently, you can check if you want. thanks!
play it
Look for a video on my channel, or go via link in the description
Can you give me one for free ?
Sure, come and take it
yoj ik give me your address
The guitars are so out of tune 🤦🏻♂️
That's not a guitar. It is a guitar shaped object
