“In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.”
Join me on my adventure through Tolkein’s Middle Earth as I build a guitar based on The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie.
One Guitar to rule them all, One Guitar to find them,
One Guitar to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the shadows lie.

Oh man, you have really raised the bar. You know I have to make something to compliment your build. May the competition begin. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You can never have too many dragons! 🐉 🔥 looking forward to yours as well Ray. 👍
I love you Arran.....you're mad as a badger in the best way 😂 can't wait for the rest of this build!! Quality!
Badger!
Thanks! I might have you use this comment on my guitar building resume! Or a future testimonial… 🤔😂
Really nice! Let the light of Elbereth shine upon your journey!
Live long and prosper!
😂 it’s going to be a long journey too!
You certainly know how to build up excitement , anticipation and guitars! I can’t wait.😊
Thanks John, I can’t wait either!
I’m loving the whole story thing! Genuinely excited to see the next chapter!
Thanks Chris! As long as I don’t end up destroying the one ring/guitar at the end. 😂
I have never been so excited for a build, nor so tickled by a build video lol. Can’t wait to see where it goes from here.
Thanks Cade! I’ve just finished the first build video and am planning to have it up over the weekend. I think you might like it!
I only just caught up with your videos for this year’s Great Guitar Build and all I can say is WOW! That prologue is completely brilliant. The idea, the graphics, the filming, just fantastic, I am well impressed. I loved last years build best in the competition and your videos were also the best. I have a feeling you will surpass that in 2022. I can’t wait.
Thanks Andrew, it’s really cool reading comments like this. I do it for my own enjoyment and indulgence, but it’s awesome when others get so much out of it as well. I hope you enjoy the first three build episodes! 👍
I anticipate plans being stolen by strange men in black robes and the builder being kidnapped and taken to Isengard, with his family running in keen pursuit.
And then the eagles will save the day! 🦅
I'm in love. Best guitar build intro. This one rules!
Glad you like it! Hopefully I can deliver on the rest of the videos as well. 👍
Glowing swords and Elven voicings (huzzah!) - am expecting creativity beyond time travel ... Best of luck!! Certainly, a winning opening!
Thanks Mike. There are plenty of creative opportunities in this fantasy world!
Mate, I was smiling from beginning to end. You're a great story teller. A story teller fella.
Thanks Chris, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant video. I think I'll enjoy the videos as much as seeing the final guitar, thanks for all the effort making it.
Thanks Daniel. I think I enjoy making the videos as much as making the guitar!
@@adairguitars it shows.
That is a beautiful top, can't wait to see it finished - Good Luck - cheers from Canada
Thanks Dan. It’s going to be a fun journey. 👍
3 things:
- I want your edition of tolkien's books
- I love the design for this guitar
- and no one can say that you don't put effort in your videos 😂
- you can’t have mine, ‘my precioussss’ (but they are great)
- why thank you!
- I do enjoy the video side of it
Thanks Lars.
Superb. This will be a fun guitar adventure. Don't forget your kerchief!
Thanks! Someone will bring it along for me! 😂
That Red Rosewood is fabulous.
I'll be watching from afar this year. Good luck
The red rosewood definitely matches the theme. Thanks Graham.
Excellent, can't wait to see it come together
Thanks, I’m hoping that it matches the vision I have for it. The guitar and videos!
that truly was awesome Aaron congratulations this is going to be a wonderful film I mean build. I'm looking forward with anticipation to each and every video
Thanks mate! I must say I’m pretty excited about it as well! 😂
Excellent prologue. Can't wait for the next video. Love the design of the guitar too.
Thanks Bart, hoping to have the first build video out in the next 2 or 3 weeks. 👍
WOW!
Wait until you see it finished. You might even get to play it! 😉👍
Incredible prologue. Cannot wait for the rest! Very well done 👍
Thanks! I’ve started construction, so the first build video could be out in a few weeks. 👍
I like that top with the figuring it has
Should go well with the dragon and as the fires of Mt. Doom
I thought about fire and lava as soon as I saw it. Can’t wait to get it under finish!
@@adairguitars That's why i called the one i'm building just now Lucifer's lute because the shape and the figuring in te spalted beach top
So as soon as i seen that top it just screamed lava and Mt Doom and the dragon in the left corner ... all just fits in nicely 👍
A thoroughly enchanting introduction to this adventure. I hope you’ve prepared an acceptance speech for the Academy 😜 I look forward to your adventures 👍
Cheers! The location shooting is taking ages though. 😂
@@adairguitars 😂 I wouldn’t have thought that would be too much of a problem Victorians have been telling me for years it’s the centre of the known Universe so Middle Earth can’t be too far from Geelong 😜😂
Came for the guitar, stayed for the humor.
Excellent, I’m glad! 👍
Really looking forward to this one Arran!👍
Thanks Giacomo, I’m really going to enjoy building this one. I’ve had it planned for ages!
Top looks awesome, can't wait to see it finished.
I couldn’t resist the top when I first saw it. Bought it before anyone else did!
Sooo Good! top notch quality, this is going to be a cool build to watch!
Thanks, I’m very keen to try out a few new ideas!
When I was a young teenager I was obsessed with Tolkien. I remember I tacked the map of middle earth to my wall by my bed so I could reference it every night while I was reading LOTR. I hope you plan to have some cartography incorporated into this build somehow.
It’s such a rich world to explore. I have many fond memories of reading the books when I was younger as well. If not on the guitar, some mapping is likely to feature in the videos.
This is gonna be epic 👌
I hope so!
Really looking forward to this years adventure :D
Thanks, I am too!
My two biggest obsessions become one😵💫
I feel the same way!
The no admittance except on guitar business 💀💀
Awsome, this one will be fun to follow!
Glad you like it!
That top is freaking gorgeous!
It sure is! I’ll be starting work on the body over the next few weeks.
Absolutely fantastic. You've got a great eye for detail and storytelling aswell as building great guitars. That's awesome man, it really is. Best introduction yet and I've watched 4 now 🤣
No for sure you'll be up there. Nice one 🤩🤘
Thanks, very kind to say. I’ve got a bit of a plan on how the videos will work together this year. Stay tuned!
Love it! Great production.
Cheers Dave! 👍
Looking forward to this build …
Thanks, me too!
Epic. :D
Cheers! it’s gunna be fun. 👍
That top is stunning, , I thought with all the paper it was a stew mac delivery
StewMac was the body and neck. The fretboard and top were from Aussie suppliers. There was still a lot of paper though!! 😂
I like it!
I’m glad!
@@adairguitars such a gentleman, always a people pleaser hahaha
Nice one mate - that ring would sure come in handy around here too 🤣.
Is that "red rosewood" a bit of Amboyna? Aka PNG rosewood? Its gorgeous, whatever it is.
I’ll probably be using the ring in a few videos! Yes it’s amboyna - I snapped it up quick when I found it online. 👍
Awesome video! I think you just outdid your Dr Who videos! 🤣🤣 In the plans, what are the lines that are offset from the edge of the body? My best guess right now is the top being inlayed like an acoustasonic.
An inlay would be a good idea, but the line indicates where the bevel might be. I’ll also have a thin black veneer between the body and the top. I’m always aiming to try something different for the videos! 👍
Maybe the body should be Swamp Ash Nazg? 😁
PS that Red Rosewood is gorgeous. Is this from an Australian source?
Sure is. It’s from guitartimbers.com can’t wait to use it on the body. 👍
Plzz sir will plzz tell the size of wood you brought for body and neck
At 3:48.. holy cow, how tall was the post man? :)
Tall enough to deliver to a hobbit! 😉
How thick is that top? Looks quite thin on video.
It’s about 5mm. 👍
