- We are starting a new guitar build series.
As I made in my previous Diamond building series, here I'm going to incorporate to my workflow the new technologies to produce one of my designs: the Opal.

This guitar promises to be another one of your masterpieces! I will be eagerly awaiting each video you share, and it will be a pleasure to see how the art and effort you put into each creation materialize!
Beautiful. BTW using the CNC for some of the more mundane chores on building a guitar is not an issue to me as I already know you can build one fully without it. Can I have this one please lol.
Thank you so much. Sure!
@@NoeHervas 👋
You must have your reason for all those chisel works when already used the CNC machine.
Yup, I still enjoy a lot hand carving
Fantastic! It's encouraging to see you using CNC as I'm working on putting a CNC into my shop as well.
Great video!
Your work is always nothing short of exemplary. Another masterpiece made by a master.
¡Saludos desde Colombia! Me encantan tus videos, y sería increíble poder tener una de las guitarras eléctricas que fabricas. Sé que son bastante costosas en mi país y es difícil poder comprarlas, pero me encantaría aprender a tocar con una de ellas. ¡Gracias por inspirarnos con tu arte y dedicación!
Hi Noe! Great work man, loved the shape of the body.
Now to the battle, kkkkkk
I don't get the "CNC is not woodworking" argument. How is it different of using any power tool? CNC is just a tool, real craftmanship is the vision. Besides there is a lot of work involved to create and use models, templates and etc. AND after the CNC remove most of wood, you still have a lot of work on refining - you demonstrate that beautifully - with gauges, rasps and etc.
Peace and long life! 🖖
se agradece el relato del video, como los antiguos!
Hola Noe! Un nuevo espectacular trabajo donde darnos envidia. Sana, por supuesto. Estupendo trabajo. Deseando ver el resultado.
Muchas gracias
Thanks Noe She is going to be awesome Thanks again for bringing us along 🫡
Thank you so much for your comment
Vamos Noe! Great work!
That's too much hand work, let the cnc do it, that's what it's for. Otherwise, just cut the whole thing by hand....
Sorry... The final product may look cool. But I cannot ignore the usage of CNC machines. Where's the craftsmanship in that? I believe that you will not have the same sense of the material and your guitar when you let machines do your work. All uniqueness.... Geez... I can't like this. I really don't.... Sorry
Should he also be using a handsaw rather than the convenience and speed of a band saw? A hand drill instead of a power drill? Hand sanding instead of power sanding?
Accelerating the tedious and mundane tasks so you can focus your creative time and energy on finessing the detail doesn't detract from the craftsmanship. There's no "craft" in hogging out cavities and neck pockets for the 20th time. He could've CNC'd the top carve and belly carve to a much finer degree if he'd wanted, but made a choice to finish them by hand to get the "sense of material". Its a reasonable compromise (imo) to use any form of power tool to accelerate mundane bulk removal.
If you want to order a fully hand built guitar with commensurate labour rates, I'm sure he'll build you one.
@@PaulCooksStuff Known to all mankind there are so usefull handtools which allow you to cut of extremely tedious work. Japanese saw, Shinto file, a plow, shisel and hammer. And, YEAH, HANDSANDING. Handsanding is the most satisfying process ever. To feel with your bare hands how the wood gets smoother.... orgasmic!
For me, the only parts where it is exceptional to use powertools are the lane for the rod and the backplate for the electronics. These parts need such a high precision, which makes it "OK" to choose powertools over handtools. ALTHOUGH - Also this precision can be achieved.
But let me eyplain why! I don't wanna troll or disrespectful, or something. From my point of view, its just this feeling. If you CNC the most part of a (guitar)build or you focus on using powertools, it gives me a feeling of cheapness. The cheapness of mass production. Something, that could be done by a dude in asia with a cost of 5 cents. But - the more work you do with your own strength and your own hands, it means, that noone else but you could build this like it is. Something special!
