orthen this video was great, thanks for sharing! I ended up building a lot of confidence a few months ago from watching this and ended up making a build myself from the same kit, sorry if this was said in the video but I couldn't understand since english isn't my first language: what were you using for the coloring exactly? Was that just a mahogany-type paint or was it a varnish or something else maybe? I want to make another build sometime soon, a bass this time and I wanted to have a similar color/finish to what you have on this tele so if you could point me to a product that you think is worthwhile I would appreciate it! Take care ;)
Hey ! Very good video, handsome guitar ! Do you remember the song you played in first ? With the bridge pickup ˆˆ thanks for this video have a Nice day !
Yeah, the wood stain is just your average wood stain, meant for fences, and the seal was a brush on polyurethane, which I believe is used for sealing wooden floors! So stuff you can pick up in most hardware stores!
Thanks, I mostly ended up using the darker mahogany, as I couldn't work out how to do a sunburst type effect, so I largely just based it off of how much darker I wanted the colour to be! There was a lot of trial and error, but it was quite easy to sand the colour back down if I didn't like the outcome!
Thanks so much for this. Currently trying to decide whether to buy one of these kits. A lot of these videos seem to be by people who seem to have a lot of experience and have a bunch of specialist tools. I wanted to see if a regular person/non-luthier could do it (hope this doesn't offend). I laughed out loud at your head-stock adventures as I know that would be me! Much more like what the real experience would be like but looks like you found it worthwhile. Hope you're still enjoying it and thanks again
Yeah I definitely don't fit the skilled craftsman type, I think it's a good way to learn some more, without having to work on a more expensive guitar! I'd say if you're on the fence go for it

A little bit of „vintage aging process“ after a few days, phenomenal 😂
I'm an expert at accidentally relic'ing my guitars
Looks great! I didn't even know this was a thing! 🙌🙌
Fun to watch! Upgrading would be interesting.
Thanks! It's coming, just money's not happening during lockdown
Looks great 😊 if you need to borrow any power tools next time drop me a message 😆
Amazon. They sell tools. They deliver to your door. They also sell butter knives, if that is really the way you wish to go.
Excellent. Interesting and informative. Subscribed!
Thanks!

That's why you should always pre assemble diy kits, so you can fix mis drilled holes!!
Learning this before would have helped! But getting things wrong honestly is how I learn!
Great review x
Sounds good
Thanks!
Nicely done! I built a double neck not too long ago, thankfully the headstock were pre shaped :)
I had a look, looks really good, as bit more professional looking than mine!
orthen thanks! It’s my third build. Gets easier with each. I’m sure you’ll be making another soon enough!
Very good job! How much does that guitar weigh?
I'm going to order one at the beginning of next year...
Thanks, It's coming in at just over 3kg, so something like a light strat!
Could you let us know what kind of products you used to stain and seal the wood? Looks good!

@@orthen Thanks!
What did you use to finish it?
Hey man, good job! it's very cool!
May I ask you how did you use the different mahogany colors and in what order?
Thanks, I mostly ended up using the darker mahogany, as I couldn't work out how to do a sunburst type effect, so I largely just based it off of how much darker I wanted the colour to be!

share the link of the product 👌
I've added it to the description! Can't believe I managed to forget that
Nice color but metallic lean sound

@@orthen I did go for it. Just too intrigued not too.
I would have just left the headstock in the square shape honestly
