_"How to make a guitar at home from scratch with the bare minimum of tools, entirely by hand, and with little or no experience with woodworking"_ *frantically searches garden for scraps of wood and my old pen knife ...
You are my new favorite person. The solutions you are capable of coming up with as you go are mesmerizing in their simplicity, and efficiency. I love your tutorial and I intend to one day follow it and try to make my own guitar
I discovered this video last winter and started taking notes and slowly gathering parts and tools. Tomorrow I will be gluing the fretboard to my first neck build. I had zero woodworking experience before watching this video, but it gave me the confidence to try. My neck is not perfect but I feel confident in saying that it does not look like the first time I built a neck from scratch. Thank you for posting this video series and giving someone with zero woodworking experience, the confidence to build a guitar from scratch. Now to start watching video part 3 on repeat.
@@tchiksguitars - then I queued up that spot in the video and played it for my wife. I laughed hysterically. She just looked at me like I'd lost my mind! At least one of us appreciates your humour - the other doesn't understand it! ;-)
This video series is amazing. I don't usually comment on stuff, but I just feel the need to thank you for putting all this information here for free. I'm super excited to try and build my own guitar (I have many ideas, some of which involve black 3.0 (worlds blackest black) and LIT (worlds glowiest pigment) Can't wait to see the rest of your tutorials!
You can not imagine how useful will be this series for me! I really, really appreciate your work and your skills, and I absolutely love the f**** way you are using that rubber band when working on the neck profile!! What a genius!! Merci Maítre!
I'm currently beginning my first build ever which is going to be a rickenbacker inspired bass, this tutorial helped me a lot with understanding some techniques better and planning things out for my build. Can't wait for part 3! :)
You manage to be both funny and extremely informative even in your non-native language! I'm from the US and can still barely speak English :) Love your channel!!
Super relaxing, well edited, and just an all around great video. You put a lot of work into these guitars and it shows. Yours is the only tutorial I can find with a sufficient amount of explanation and advice without dragging on. I plan on trying this someday.
I accually bought wood from a Swedish sawmill ( I live in Sweden) to start a build of my own thanks to you. Just wanted to let you know that you're a true inspiration and do a fantastic job!
This video is just pure gold. I've build several guitars, yet I have learned so many techniques here, which I thought were not possible using only hand tools. Gonna leave those power tools behind for the next build. Brillant !
2:00 If you only have one long clamp, something like this can work perfectly to glue the two board together, but with a much tighter gap. Not even a millimeter. If you put the clamp in the middle, the edges will be squished together. It can come handy
I am just here to remind you of sharing your suggested measurements for the neck carvings with us , would be very helpful. Thank you so much and have a great day 😊
Very inspiring mate... I made a les paul body, of sorts, last year and I've been too afraid to attempt the neck... Now after watching you, I'm ready to give it a go.... Thanks :)
Trop fort. La facon dont tu expliques, filmes, detailles, deconnes... c'est du pur génie, mec. Je sais que je ne ferai jamais de guitare, deja parce que je n'en joue pas, que je suis sur le point d'abandonner le jeu du ukulele (je ne progresse plus) et que ca me conforte dans l'idée que la guitare n'est pas pour moi non plus, en plus chuis gaucher (ne me parle pas de Hendrix ou de McCartney, steuplé), pas patient, a moitié parkinsonien... eh ouais, toussa toussa... et pourtant ! Je regarde tes videos et je les partage. Parce que cést un reel plaisir de voir le bois brut devenir, avec un peu d'huile de (1) coude, une oeuvre d'art et recevoir une ame musicale. Chapeau, mec.
@@JeremyBeut fun fact. On the same clip. I wanted to write " this is not the real build, it's just a tribute". In reference to tenacious D. But I though no one would understand it.
this is perfekt timing!! i watched your first video and ordered all the parts and tools a couple of weeks ago. and they just arrived today. thank you so much for the great content and inspiration! im really excited to start building😁
This video serie is really interesting. Thanks! That's exactly what I needed when I started to make guitars 3 years ago. Even though I watch these videos a little late, there still some things I needed to learn and it is really well explained.
About wood grain direction on glueing: this spring I made a small tool shelf for my handplanes, drills and some other smaller stuffs. The side consisted 3 ~7-8 cm wide boards (originally I've cutted ~15 cm wide board half for better stability). Originally I've wanted to an opposite orientation glueing but I've messed up one panel. Within two days it was bended up, despite the wood was dried. Probably because of the cutting some internal stresses have been released. So I always go to the alternating pattern and glue hearthwood to heartwood, sapwood to sapwood what a local professional woodworker recommended in his video. (I would like to link his videos because he learned his profession and also he is a woodworking teacher not just a self-taught woodworker - no offense, I'll do the same! - like I found in many cases on RUclips. But hes mission is to do content in Hungarian language so probably 98% of the world will not understand it.)
Hey! just letting you know, this video inspired me to make a Bass. Ive been "hand tool" woodworking for about a year now and wanted a challenge. Im using this video as the foundation for this build. I finished cutting the body out with my ryoba saw and currently filing, rasping, and dowel sandpapering the sides square. Im almost done but my coping saw blades kept breaking so squaring the curves is an annoying process right now lol. How long did it take you to cut and square the body? Its taken me a while now. I get discouraged when i think about how this process would take like 10 minutes with a band saw, a router, and a template.
How wonderful to watch a woodwork tutorial that doesn't feature thousands of pounds/Euro/dollars worth of kit. Came here looking for tips on building half a guitar body as the basis for a table lamp. Stayed to watch a craftsman at work. Many Thanks
Mate !!! This is the best. I'd been waiting for the second part and then I didn't notice you'd posted it. Of course just yesterday I glued my wood together and made a rookie mistake that you clearly show how to avoid. Sigh. I've got some sanding to do now. hahaha. Thanks so much for your videos they are truly inspirational. I love guitars, just as beautiful things. I love their look, smell, touch and of course the music they make. I was looking for something to do in my free time instead of watching TV and I came across your channel. Guess I've got a hobby now. I want to make an es 335 but it's definitely something to work up to. A tele is perfect considering it's basically just a lump of wood with a stick. Thanks so much for your hard work, you've really added to my life :). Can't wait for part 3 but it will be a long time before I need it.
Haha if it makes you feel any better I didn't use my own trick until the second or third build, but it works like a charm. Rather than sanding the offset I'd use a hand plane or planer and jointer. Because you want that thing to be flat from the beginning otherwise everything is going to be f*ed up for the rest of the build !
@@tchiksguitars Yea. Luckily it wasn't too bad, not even 1 mm but enough to be a bit irritating. I ended up using a hand plainer I had which made quick work of the main problem. Unfortunately the plain is cheap and I am a total n00b when it comes to woodworking so I ended up with some minor tearouts. Nothing a bit of patience and an electric sander didn't fix. I am happy I spent a bit of money getting furniture grade wood, Tasmanian Oak, so the grain is nice and straight and there are no imperfections. I thought I had enough to worry about without fighting the wood 😁. Thanks again and good luck with your current project.
Next series, do the guitar only using hand drill! :) Awesome mate, love your videos and your work. Im gathering all my courage to build my very first Tele :)
Well... you‘ve got me now! Since my girlfriends father is a carpenter and I‘m allowed to use his workshop and tools I will try to build one on my own with your tutorial! While you are editing part 3 I will try to catch up with my build. Mercy et salutations de l‘Allemagne
@@tchiksguitars will do! It's a pity that I can't post pictures because we have found already some wood for the build. It's 60 years old mahagoni :) It's beautiful! And I decided to go for the Gibson ES-335 build although it's a little bit trickier. But he will help me when I encounter problems
Thanks a lot for this! will you do some other videos with other builds? could you show like how to make a 3 or 5 pieces neck? I can see you have a 5 pieces neck in build n7!
Another great video. Everything stripped back to basics makes it so easy to follow. Just one question, is it worth spending a little more on premium masking tape for better tonal quality?
Yes ! Blue tape gives a bit more attack and yellow tape sounds rounder. There's also compound taping where you put different types of tapes inside the same neck. But that's more advanced, I've never ventured there sorry :)
bro this helps out so much cause im doing a complete custom guitar build where I have almost no references cause its my own custom shape all the way around
I had to do a complete do over on the neck cause like an idiot I used a bass neck instead of an actual guitar neck.... I do things without thinking :b, but as of now I bought an indian rosewood fret board thats been radiused thank god, now I just need to trace things out and make sure everything is flush.
I would love to start making my own guitar, but the neck profile part is confusing me. How do I find those measurements without adobe illustrator? Your help would be greatly appreciated
It's just guess work, there's no right or wrong, you just have to be consistent on both sides. Draw the neck blank, then by trial and error just find lines that work !
Dude.. thank you so much for your videos and your inspiration and motivation. You made it happen to me.. I ordered some wood and it was delivered today.. I am going to start my first build soon. I am still a little bit afraid buy your tutorials give me courage. It's gonna be a tele , just like you recommended. Got a nice peace of kahya Mahagoni for body and neck. And a wenge .. wennngeeee.. fretboard :D
Superbe vidéo avec de parfaites explications👍🎸Bonne continuation en attendant la suite😉🖐 Superb video with perfect explanations👍🎸Good continuation while waiting for the sequel😉🖐
Thanks for your video and explaining it all. Now I will definitely build my guitar. However, I have a question about the truss rod. In many technical drawings for Telecaster necks in the cross section view you can see that the truss rod is already curved and not mounted completely flat like in your video. Of course, profiling the place for a bent truss rod is more difficult, but does this solution have an advantage over mounting the rod flat? Or maybe the bent bar view is only for demonstration purposes to help better understand truss rod adjustment?
Yes on the real tele, the truss rod is pre bent and is inserted via the back of the neck and then there's a skunk stripe closing the whole thing. It is very specific of fender and since most other necks have a flat truss rod, I thought why not. I have no other explanation :p

Ton accent anglais est juste incroyable, je crois que c'est la première fois que je n'arrive pas à deviner un français au son (on voit des mots français dans la vidéo donc ça aide). Tu as grandi dans un pays anglophone ?
22:30 “I leave my tape in place...for trolling reasons” 🤣. Best quote on RUclips fir 2021!! Otherwise, excellent work, inspiring me to do the same...but with some power tools cos I’m lazy/time poor.
Dang it Why everything needs to be square‽ Before starting build I need to get myself small square, marking gauge and that funny curve measuring comb. Last one is just so I can knock on people's doors and say "Good morning sir, can I come in and conduct free neck profile examination?" Although this might get bit weird when they agree and won't have any stringed instruments Thank you for this detailed tutorial. It boosts my confidence just like instructions on back of the instant soup did when I moved into a dorm.
Merci, je commence un premier projet et tes vidéos sont d'une grande aide. Bravo pour ta qualité de travail, aussi bien sur le bois que sur les vidéos elles mêmes. Le résultat est incroyable, très impressionnant. "J'ai mis des sous-titres en Belges", j'en déduis que comme moi tu es Belge? Si oui alors bravo aussi pour l'accent!
tnx in advance for this amazing tutorial... a question: which glue do you use to glue fretboard paper template to the wood? 2nd.. when you finish to fret the slots, is it simple to remove paper from the wood? tnx for your help!
Hi tchiks! I'm on the building of a jazz master, i'm wondering if the "38 mm rule" from the edge can be applied to the positioning of the truss Rod, or if you have any suggestion on the dimension of the blank that i've to use in order to get the right specs. Thank you !!
Since the access for the truss rod is located in the neck pocket instead of at the headstock, did you drill an access hole in the neck pickup cavity so the truss rod can be adjusted without taking the neck off?

Non, j'ai juste grandi en dehors de la France :)
great video just the kind of video i need !
Love your video's! Thanks for the bonus confidence boost!
Thank you for watching them ! Spread the word :p

Sooner than you (and I) thought !
@@tchiksguitars WOO HOO!
22:30 “I leave my tape in place...for trolling reasons” 🤣. Best quote on RUclips fir 2021!!
Otherwise, excellent work, inspiring me to do the same...but with some power tools cos I’m lazy/time poor.
i literally was counting the 0's on 12:07 🤣🤣
How much did it cost to build your first guitar?
*How to start a great day*
tchiks upload a video
me: I've been waiting this so impatiently!
Awesome job!
very interesting man! good job
Is the guide on how to use these tools out?
Dang it
Why everything needs to be square‽
Before starting build I need to get myself small square, marking gauge and that funny curve measuring comb. Last one is just so I can knock on people's doors and say "Good morning sir, can I come in and conduct free neck profile examination?"
Although this might get bit weird when they agree and won't have any stringed instruments
Thank you for this detailed tutorial. It boosts my confidence just like instructions on back of the instant soup did when I moved into a dorm.
Merci, je commence un premier projet et tes vidéos sont d'une grande aide. Bravo pour ta qualité de travail, aussi bien sur le bois que sur les vidéos elles mêmes.
Le résultat est incroyable, très impressionnant. "J'ai mis des sous-titres en Belges", j'en déduis que comme moi tu es Belge? Si oui alors bravo aussi pour l'accent!
Tout a fait :) merci !
謝謝你，很棒的影片，非常仔細
fantastic! thank you!
Tapetone is what stands between modern manufacture and the elusive 50s models.
Aha, didn't expect less from the president of the galaxy.
tnx in advance for this amazing tutorial... a question: which glue do you use to glue fretboard paper template to the wood? 2nd.. when you finish to fret the slots, is it simple to remove paper from the wood? tnx for your help!
Thank you!
Hi tchiks! I'm on the building of a jazz master, i'm wondering if the "38 mm rule" from the edge can be applied to the positioning of the truss Rod, or if you have any suggestion on the dimension of the blank that i've to use in order to get the right specs. Thank you !!
Since the access for the truss rod is located in the neck pocket instead of at the headstock, did you drill an access hole in the neck pickup cavity so the truss rod can be adjusted without taking the neck off?

Yes
