Thank you for posting the videos. I enjoy watching the complete builds as well as the short videos of progress. 10 to 15 minutes of work with your narrative is perfect for those of us that have just started out. Keep up the good work. Post often and keep building. We all have our difficulties and mistakes. I’m encouraged when I see someone else mess up. I celebrate your success my friend.
Thank you, I really appreciate your comment! I just about always show my mistakes for the very purpose of encouraging others and to show that even making mistakes can be valuable and that everyone makes them.
Hey brother, Thank you so much for the shout out! I really appreciate it. You know I love me a Tele😁 very nice! I'm also familiar with the term "Woller it out"😂✌️&💙
Hey Todd, I appreciate the comment, man! Thanks. I’m thinking that anyone in the South who has ever done any kind of mechanical work probably knows the word woller, lol.
Looking good Chris. When I first started building guitars I keep reading about tight neck pockets. Then as videos became more and more popular that's what they were saying. Gotta be able to pick up the guitar by neck with out glue. The truth of the matter is even on a set neck you need room for glue. And on a bolt on neck you need room for finish. So you need to sand that neck down a bit so it's not a press fit. You'll just end up cracking the little bit of body on the treble side.
Thanks! I have really enjoyed Sweet T. I started from his first videos and have binged almost his entire library. I just think it‘s fun to see his enthusiasm as he learns and builds electric guitars. And his guitars look awesome.
Nice work, Chris! It's always fun to see how you work and the process that goes into the making of guitars. A cigar box guitar is on my list to try at some point, but I haven't gotten that brave yet.

🎉🎉🎉 Thank you for sharing your experiences while building this guitar.
It’s been a fun ride.
Blessings,Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊🇺🇸
Thanks for watching!
I like to put painter's tape around the neck pocket template to make it a little more snug
I‘ve seen Todd from Sweet T Guitars do that. It‘s a good idea! I‘m sure I‘ll try it on another guitar at some point.
This build is coming along nicely! I'm looking forward to the next installment.
Thank you for watching!!
This build is a lot of fun along, thanks for sharing this!
Thanks a lot! I‘m really enjoying it.

Thanks Dane. That makes sense! I was a little concerned about that sliver of wood left on the treble side.
It's looking good! I enjoyed the stream of consciousness problem solving. 😁 And thanks for the tip about Sweet T!

You should totally do a cigar box guitar!
