Try again bro or redo the pos guitar. My greatest accomplishment was I took a pos guitar and transformed into a steel guitar and sold for 6 times more than what my dad gave for it at Montgomery wards in 1968.
Hellyeah! Can't wait! Im really gettin more and more interested in crafting guitars. I have a project of my own that i wouls want to finish. Thanks you to show us how!
My favorite part was the camera shot where we saw your safety gear. So many people forget what they are breathing and never cover their eyes. Awesome build!!!!!
this is so relaxing that i’d fall asleep on and off during the sanding portions. don’t mean that as an insult either. such soft and gentle technique making the whole sculpt look and feel like butter with such beautiful natural design from the wood all under the time lapse just sets your mind down the best most relaxing thing you could watch. not even to mention the guitar in the background complimenting the whole thing. really hope i can make something like this one day.
Might I recommend a trapezoidal neck profile for your next build? I filed one of my necks into a straight endurneck-type profile which is completely flat on each plane and it instantly became my favorite neck. You can't really find them out in the wild so your only option is to kinda build or shape your own, and you have the tools and knowledge to do so...just a thought. I know it changed the way I interact with the neck on a tactile level for the better.
Thanks for sharing...seeing all the labor of love and quality tools going into building a quality instrument, I have no problem spending 1000 or more on a good guitar.
Stunning craftsmanship, I have started making gascan and cigar box guitars in the hopes of eventually selling them, your videos are very inspirational, thank you.
yay! I was among the first 500 subscribers of this new awesome guitar building channel! Awesome content, good editing, not much talking and no sponsors all over the place and in every camera angle. Fun to watch, GJ.
Wow... - you have golden hands... ...and more tools and machines than some (bigger) companies that I know (leastways in my area) - and some of it I´ve seen in fact the first time today! Unbelievable... At first, I wanted to watch only a few minutes... ...and then I couldn't stop more - simply too fascinating, watching "the birth" of a handmade custom-guitar. I wish I would have a comparable talent...
Cranmer Guitars it sure looks like it! It also looks like it would help beginners. Imagine what a beginner guitarist would sound like without the dorito finnish 😂
This is a brilliant idea for a video. If I were a custom shop I would make one like this, too. There are MANY builders who rely heavily on assembling parts. There is nothing wrong with that. However, if a luthier has the skill set to build from scratch, proving it on RUclips for everyone to see makes a lot of sense. Well done👍
Question: Why the scarf joint? I have an electric without one, and an acoustic with one, and I'm curious as to why you use them. I've heard 'glue is stronger than the wood', 'keeps grain angles correct', and 'material not long enough' but have never had the opportunity to ask an actual luthier about his/her reasons. Thanks in advance, and love your videos.
Thanks for the comment! You answered most of the question yourself, but another reason is that it's more cost effective as less wood is used. The main benefit to me is the strength!
Great job, Awesome guitar. I have made a few guitars and I can appreciate your craftsmanship. I like the tiger (curly) maple on the front of the guitar. I made a box guitar and used wormy (ambrosia) maple for the front and back with walnut on the sides. I used hickory for the neck.
Excellent video and process. I am inspired by your design and follow through making the guitar as close to perfect as you can. I stopped working to watch your build twice. Well worth the time. Thank you for sharing.
I watched this video in order to better describe what I wanted done to any of my many guitars when I had to have repairs, changes, or upgrades done so I wouldn't sound like a dunce to my luthier. I learned a lot about your process and some terminology from watching this video. Thanks.
I think I’m gonna build a guitar of similar construction sometime soon, so this video helps a lot! I’ve had a body style I’ve been drawing up that I thought would be cool since I was a kid. I think I’ll leave the sides of the top unfinished for a natural wood binding though 🤔
Being an armchair QB and critiquing this would be easy and also stupid. Incredible skill and use of hand tools outstanding. Someday I will try this but not at your level. Incredible.
You have some nice techniques.... Using pegs to keep the veneers in alignment is something that, after seeing it, should be obvious, but I had not seen that used like you did. I am gong to add that to my skill set. But I never understood something in neck construction: Which the tension of the strings, why would someone opt for a scarf joint to change the angle between the head and neck? Or is it just that the glue line is hard to see in that type of joint?
Great job! Maybe I'd like to go deeper in in the electric welding parts. And I enjoyed music while watching the video. Can you tell me who is playing and what?
Just wondering how much time the whole process takes. You could end the video with a sound test maybe? Great work - a beautiful instrument came out of it!
I did want to build my own guitar and after watched this I just get 2 jobs for month or two and go buy one, can't effort all the tools needed for the job. GREAT looking guitar.
Wow......beautiful! .... got a question that no one has tried to answer for me..... i dont know what im doing wrong.... but, after i level all the frets with stewmac beam, and also sand down the 13th through the 22 and check everything with fret rocker..and everything registers flat....... then string up, get everything to industry standard dimensions ......at that point i get string buzz..... asking for any help possible.... this has been the problem on most of my hand built guitars ....seams where neck meets body is culprit, but dont know what to do .....
Eu acho fantástico a construção de um instrumento musical principalmente uma guitarra. Mas você pode tirar uma dúvida? Eu vejo que o corpo e o braço são colados. Então, não era mais fácil formar uma peça interiça ao invés de colar o braço ao corpo? Obrigado e essa guitarra ficou fantástica.
Very good job, what I am suspicious of is the glue of the head to the guitar handle, because of the tension it supports, it would not have been better to put some metal reinforcements, as when they repair a broken handle head? Greetings from Argentina , I love the world of lutheria, as an amateur, greeting teacher!
Thanks Diego! Most head repairs will be Gibson's that were cut from a single piece of wood. The glue is much stronger than the wood if you have a good join. I can absolutely guarantee that if this head were to break, it would not be along the glue line.
I was trying to think of a really smart comment but I can’t so. This is an amazing looking guitar. Almost a piece of art. Will that do ? Fantastic video. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
That was one intensive labor of love to observe. I'm not sure if you actually make and sell, however, you might consider it. If only three a year are made it would drive collectors crazy and you could name your price.
Really liked seeing the engineering lathe come into play to turn wood😂 Enjoyed the dark material sawdust being mixed in with the glue for the dowels too. Do you actually need a truss rod?
Reminds me of a Danelectro bass shape. The tulip one. Very cool. I’m assuming the soundtrack during the build was the actual guitar? Otherwise I’d really like to hear it. Awesome job though!
Did you put conditioner on the wood before staining or was that straight poly? Always use conditioner on wood before staining or else it turns dark and blotchy !
@@CranmerGuitars Awesome, thanks for the tip! I haven't been brave enough to try my hand at handcrafting an axe but I may give it a shot one of these days lol
Seriously,What on earth is there to dislike? Terrific guitar.Looks beautiful.And! handmade. I honestly think that people troll RUclips and purposely put dislikes on people’s vids.As far as I’m concerned there can be no other reason.Idiots.

Simply Beautiful,, it has a Paul Reed Smith kinda vibe, I tried to build my own guitar but instead of a PRS it was a POS.
Yea mine was a bender not a fender
Try again bro or redo the pos guitar. My greatest accomplishment was I took a pos guitar and transformed into a steel guitar and sold for 6 times more than what my dad gave for it at Montgomery wards in 1968.
Take heart Brother, just try again using the lessons you learnt from the first one, good luck.
I made a Bigsob not a Gibson
Perfect nice🎸😍
That takes a whole hell of a lot of knowing WTF you're doing. Great job man
Basic understanding of electronics and soldering
Luthier
Understanding of measurements and mechanics.
It's easier if you start doing it!
@@danielsgrunge how many have you built?
@@AbhiBass96 I bet this video bored the hell out of you
@@waskele.wabbit717 Currently building my 5th
I'm about to take on a first time build and this was immensely helpful. Beautiful guitar!
Did you ever get into making it? If so, how did it go?
Man, shaping the neck by hand. You have mastered your art.
My girlfriend found me staring at the screen of my PC, heard the music and asked me "are you watching porn..?!?"
Me: "no... but actually yes..."
hehehhee !!!!
HAHA! I'm pretty sure I get what you're saying. This is some hardcore DIY guitar porn. Arousing for all genders. :-P
Byrd what the hell is up with you
lmao ^^
@@michaeldownie9995 Some people suck at humor/sarcasm.
For the people wanting to hear how it sounds, I'll upload something one of these days...
Beautiful guitar man 👌
This looks awesome man
I cant wait 🤤
Hellyeah! Can't wait! Im really gettin more and more interested in crafting guitars. I have a project of my own that i wouls want to finish. Thanks you to show us how!
Looks like an awesome build much better than alot we see in the uk luthier scene
The pacing of this video is impeccable- just the right amount of footage sped up appropriately , mixed with spellbinding craftsmanship
Thank you for the wonderful comment; however, it did not help my ego in the slightest!
My favorite part was the camera shot where we saw your safety gear. So many people forget what they are breathing and never cover their eyes. Awesome build!!!!!
Man! That's a great piece of art! Finish is so beautiful! Imo it looks so good with this fingerboard!
The amount of patience and attention to detail is astounding.
I nearly cried when the screwdriver slipped 😮...superb craftsmanship!... I wish I could work as fast as you.🤗
Nice shape! I like it when people come up with something just that bit different
this is so relaxing that i’d fall asleep on and off during the sanding portions. don’t mean that as an insult either. such soft and gentle technique making the whole sculpt look and feel like butter with such beautiful natural design from the wood all under the time lapse just sets your mind down the best most relaxing thing you could watch. not even to mention the guitar in the background complimenting the whole thing. really hope i can make something like this one day.

Thanks for the kind comment, I really appreciate it!
Wow it is a great one, I love the pod and switch design on the body, looks smooth.
I can't even chop firewood let alone build a guitar. Absolutely adore your talent. Keep pushing for higher & never allow yourself to give up.
I must add, you have to LOVE what you are doing! Great workmanship and pride in what you do. thx for posting
The Idea with the guiding pin to drill the string holes from the backside is brilliant. noted for my Strat built, if I'm ever going to finish it...
one of the most satisfying videos I've ever seen on RUclips, holy hell!
This is a real artist. Bravo, 100% craftsmanship and knowledge
That's some beautiful piece of art you made there. Ty for sharing it with us.
Wow... - you have golden hands...
...and more tools and machines than some (bigger) companies that I know (leastways in my area) - and some of it I´ve seen in fact the first time today!
Unbelievable...
At first, I wanted to watch only a few minutes...
...and then I couldn't stop more - simply too fascinating, watching "the birth" of a handmade custom-guitar.
I wish I would have a comparable talent...
Wow, you're a very talented luthier! Loved the reinforcement bars in the neck!
I love the scoop you put above the volute. I’m stealing that
I never thought of using Doritos Salsa as a finish, but I like outside the box thinking! :D
Haha! It's for the tone 😉
This comment needs more likes!
Cranmer Guitars it sure looks like it! It also looks like it would help beginners. Imagine what a beginner guitarist would sound like without the dorito finnish 😂
It's got the nacho finish. Don't touch my guitar cause it's notchyos.
Gorgeous.
Really Beautiful.
Also illustrates what careful hand work can accomplish.
Enjoyed watching that a lot.
One of the better videos on RUclips. Looks great, nice job!
Using an alignment peg on the drill press to locate your string ferrules is a sneaky little trick. I like it.
Love this, would just point out that when drilling on a drill press, clamps are a good idea...
What a beautiful expression of your love and devotion went into this build 🎸🥰
Brilliantly done ! The design of guitar is very soothing too. It was truly inspiring
By the way what was the build time for this guitar ?
This is a brilliant idea for a video. If I were a custom shop I would make one like this, too. There are MANY builders who rely heavily on assembling parts. There is nothing wrong with that. However, if a luthier has the skill set to build from scratch, proving it on RUclips for everyone to see makes a lot of sense. Well done👍
Thanks to this kind of art, the earth is a better place to live in, great job man.
18:57 - I don't fully understand what happened here. Did the paint job get damaged?
looks like he did, the next scene is him sanding and staining all over again. that must have hurt.
Question: Why the scarf joint? I have an electric without one, and an acoustic with one, and I'm curious as to why you use them. I've heard 'glue is stronger than the wood', 'keeps grain angles correct', and 'material not long enough' but have never had the opportunity to ask an actual luthier about his/her reasons.

You can tell this isnt just some wallpeice by how much time you put into the fretwork. Friggen incredible m8!!!
your guitar looks like the love child of a PRS and a Teisco "tulip" guitar. great build
New stock tulip teisco! Jajajajaja
Great job, Awesome guitar. I have made a few guitars and I can appreciate your craftsmanship. I like the tiger (curly) maple on the front of the guitar. I made a box guitar and used wormy (ambrosia) maple for the front and back with walnut on the sides. I used hickory for the neck.
I do not understand these people who do not enjoy this beautiful work!
Excellent video and process. I am inspired by your design and follow through making the guitar as close to perfect as you can. I stopped working to watch your build twice. Well worth the time. Thank you for sharing.
18:48 why is that cable for? And why is it under the bridge? Is it the mass?
I ve almost cried when you hit the top with the screwdriver, and you decided to do all the finish pocess from the beginning...!!!
I watched this video in order to better describe what I wanted done to any of my many guitars when I had to have repairs, changes, or upgrades done so I wouldn't sound like a dunce to my luthier. I learned a lot about your process and some terminology from watching this video. Thanks.
That color is something special. Like it!
Incredibly beautiful build. I’d like to see where you put the strap button on the horn or back of the guitar.
Great job. Love the color. Nice to see that you shielded the cavity, too.
The guitar is incredible it's a thing of beauty only have one criticism the first finish you had on front was nicer than the one you have now
Tremendously nice work! love the choice of color too. Well done!!
How does he shape the fretboard radius without using a radius sanding block? Amazing.
Nice Design, Nice color and perfect guitar . I like it
Beautiful work. I appreciate the hand building. It’s just more special.
what a beautiful job my friend congratulations, happy 2022 🎸🎚️🎛️🎙️🎤🎵🎼🇧🇷🎅🎄☃️

Great job! Very similar to the Soviet electric guitar "Aelita"
Being an armchair QB and critiquing this would be easy and also stupid. Incredible skill and use of hand tools outstanding. Someday I will try this but not at your level. Incredible.
When you assemble the guitar body using glue, you dont use dowels to help strengthen the joint? Thank you
Awesome color. Good red hue.
Hola, excelente video. Por ejemplo esa guitarra que costo tendría???.....quedó preciosa y debe sonar GENIAL !!!!.
Excelente trabajo. 🤙🎸

Maestro - you're an outstanding artist!!!
Amazing job...
Bro, you have the gold hands...
Gorgeous. But why are the pickup holes larger than the pickups?

Beautiful work. True skill and talent. Great body design. What type of finish was used? Shellac?
Its shellac and then tru oil. I have a more in depth series on this guitar where I talk through the process
Damn, such a professional luthier. Terrific job, beautiful guitar.
Very profesional luthier. And also nice film, warm lighting and good lens 👍👍👍
Great work. It was a pleasure to see this video
Really liked seeing the engineering lathe come into play to turn wood😂 Enjoyed the dark material sawdust being mixed in with the glue for the dowels too. Do you actually need a truss rod?
Also I liked it when you redid the whole finish because you slipped with the drill
You should try making a Red Special inspired guitar with tri-sonic pickups and all, good job on the guitar as well!
where is the input jack and tremolo bridge the two of my favourite parts of a good guitar
Reminds me of a Danelectro bass shape. The tulip one. Very cool. I’m assuming the soundtrack during the build was the actual guitar? Otherwise I’d really like to hear it. Awesome job though!
hoping you would show how you did the recessed knob holes
Alright, you've got me, I'll sub. Keep up the great work my friend.
Did you put conditioner on the wood before staining or was that straight poly? Always use conditioner on wood before staining or else it turns dark and blotchy !
Hardwoods like maple generally don't get blotchy, but sometimes I'll use egg whites on spruce tops before stain
@@CranmerGuitars Awesome, thanks for the tip! I haven't been brave enough to try my hand at handcrafting an axe but I may give it a shot one of these days lol
This is unbelievable, amazing job
very beautiful work ,,, if you don't mind what kind of finish you used on the body and the neck
what a beautiful finish!
What is that tool called - 4:00 ?
Nice guitar 👍🤘 very neat. I wonder why theres a Foil tape or whatever it called you put to its electronics cavity? 16:33
really want to make an electric guitar from scratch as an EE student, thanks for the video
Fantastic job.The dislikes are probably Fender/Gibson/PRS employee’s.Love the workmanship.
Seriously,What on earth is there to dislike? Terrific guitar.Looks beautiful.And! handmade. I honestly think that people troll RUclips and purposely put dislikes on people’s vids.As far as I’m concerned there can be no other reason.Idiots.
I was really looking forward to hearing it play
Nice job! Creative design. Can you tell us about the background music, artist, album?
Man that finish is amazing!
