This series has to be one of the best things TPS has ever put out. The attention to detail is simply amazing, truly in awe at the amount of skill this takes. I will never look at handbuilt/boutique acoustic guitar in the same way again!
I like how often he addresses the fact that the guitar is going to get a blow, or take a fall and how important details (rather that over building) will help a guitar survive accidents.
Thought I was going to start crying over the back going on for a second there... feeling oddly emotional over this build for someone not all involved haha. Thanks for taking us along!
This is truly inspirational to see a guy in the prime of his skills creating an instrument like this. Jonny is the consummate craftsman and a real gent and cricket lover. Awesome stuff.
@@simongray3966 Yes! They're great. Crimson guitars use another one. There's a competition called the Great Guitar Build Off. One day I'll give it a try, probably from a kit! 😄
The way your voices projected inside of the body at the end with the camera inside, just from talking near the guitar was amazing, really shows you the power of acoustic architecture!
This is the magic right here. A big guitar company will spend a couple hours on the bracing and do all the bracing to a template the same for each guitar. An individual custom builder will lay each on out and tune each one to the specific top so that the top has the right combination of rigidity and strength and spend as much time as it takes to get what they want out of it. So when you go with a custom builder, this is what you are paying for.
Wonderful. Being a cabinet maker myself, it is a true joy to get a glimpse inside a true master's shop and to observe the skill and experience at work. Just watch the way he handles a chisel. It takes many long years and many badly cut fingers to learn how to handle a chisel like that. Thanks for these vids, Dan. A real holiday treat to see.
The amount of work and attention to detail he puts into parts of the guitar that nobody will ever touch or even see again is such a lesson in professionalism and work ethic for everyone, no matter their job.
soooooo many excellent homemade jigs- you just couldn't learn this stuff without a lifetime of experience. J.K. should be considered a national British treasure. Thanks TPS_ this whole series is just amazing-
I had the honor of building my guitar with an authorized Martin luthier with 46 years experience. What a treat to perform that under his tutelage! His hand made tools and jigs were amazing. Came out great. One of those once in a lifetime things for which I am thankful. He was kind enough to allow it as a birthday gift from my wife. He has become a close friend.
I had a strange moment watching this, listening to Jonny and thinking how relaxing it was. I remembered living in Bristol many years ago, lying in a hammock in the backyard listening to the Cricket on the radio. Just at that moment, Jonny mentions that his favourite part of making guitars is doing the front braces - whilst listening to the Cricket commentary. I see why he likes it. Jonny talking and Cricket on the radio is very much the same vibe...
Isn't it a beautiful record to have so much footage of your dream instrument being made. This series is a delight so far. Thanks for doing the hard yards Mr S!
I have so much respect for every luthier who can do this. I wouldn't even have the patience to do just the basic stuff. I assembled an electric guitar once. An Esquire model. Later I stripped a Stratocaster and modified it. I think I scared people with these guitarish creatures. Respect for this man!
I feel honoured actually to be taken on this journey. What an incredibly nice man Johnny is and what a vast amount of knowledge. The man comes across as completely down to earth. Lovely to watch.
We all love watching this process take place, I keep watching the vids, over it is great to see a real craftsmanship at work. How many of us wish we could apprentice under Jonny,
This series of videos is PEAK RUclips as far as im concerned. Magnificent. Love the fact you never interrupted, a trait less common these days I find. Listening to this master explaining his work is just a joy to listen to. Thank you so much for this content.
the idea with bridges and beams and thickness is that, as you go farther from each end of the bridge, you're increasing the arm length, which increases the torque (or is it moment? it's been awhile!). So when you're very close to each end, the arm length is minimal, so the torque is minimal as well. You don't need as much reinforcement where the torque is lowest. But at the middle, you're at the maximum distance from either end, and since any given force is multiplied by the distance from the pivot point, that's where a force will apply the most amount of torque to the beam. Like Jonny said, makes perfect sense!
This applies to tensile forces in the beam. Shear stresses are the opposite, with the lowest force being at the midpoint and the highest force at the ends. Wood is very strong in shear strength and so the ends don't matter as much as say a steel girder for a bridge. Wood is weakest in tension so you focus on the middle
Thank you so much for documenting this Dan. I am transfixed learning so much about what seems like such a simple instrument, and then Jonny making the complex concepts simple again! Thanks to Jonny for being such a receptive host: I don't know if he's done videos other than the times you've filmed with him, but he is a pro in walking us through it just as he is a master craftsman.
It does my heart good to see all the bits and clutter around the shop -- now I don't feel so bad about my basement workshop. I've built 3 classical guitars from scratch.
I wish we could smell those wood shavings over RUclips. I love the smell of fresh wood shavings. Last acoustic guitar I bought was all wood and I spent almost as much time in the first couple of weeks sniffing it as playing it!
Dan, I'm so thankful for introducing Mr. Johnny Kinkeade to my life! I'm holding his book in my hands and it's so inspiring from the very first page of it. I have already built my first electric guitar by my design and I gonna built an acoustic for sure, too.
Was gutting emotional watching this process for some reason. Maybe it's just just the appreciation of seeing a master of his craft at work to create such an incredible thing. So good!
This is a privilege to observe, Johnny is a Jedi knight, those woodsabres are handled with amazingly calm precision. The force will be strong in your OM, play it wisely Dan, you are our only hope... etc
Just incredible. At the very end of this video, you can *hear* the resonance of the guitar when you stuck the camera inside. This is so, so fantastic, not just the chance to watch Johnny craft something so special, but for you to have this very personal and very individual instrument made for you. Congratulations Dan. Well earned and well done. Can't wait to see what comes next and to hear the finished product.
Listening too and watching Mr. Kinkead work is human equivalent of taking a few Xanax and I mean that odd comparison in the best way possible. Gratefully calming and that doesn't even touch on the wealth of knowledge that can be garnered. Jonny should be on at least once a month.
Luv it. The masochistic side of me has always wanted to build an acoustic, and to watch to watch an experienced craftsman work reminds me that at my age that would probably take the rest of my life 😜. Got to see all of the episodes. Happy New year and keep pedaling.
Dan, thank you so much for these. Jonny is a national treasure and these vlogs are the definition of brilliant. I'm deeply happy for you. This is on the level of a lifelong dream come true. Happy 2022!!! -G
Watching Jonny do the chiseling on the braces is amazing. The confidence and precision he has are a testament to his ability and experience. Again, thanks so much for these videos. I live for that stuff.
You can really appreciate what goes into making an instrument when you factor in every tool & jig Johnny has at hand, i.e. A LOT. Especially when you consider he made many of those too.
This is amazing Dan thanks. I love Johnny's no bullshit approach to everything, his honesty is so refreshing . A box of PG tips behind the bandsaw , brilliant !!
What a mesmerizing site it is to see such a master Luthier at work. That shop is one of a kind, why upgrade if something gets the job done. Awesome Daniel!
Part two builds beautifully on part one. I had a number of questions that went unanswered because an hour long video cannot answer all of them, and some might be considered master's secrets. This is rapidly becoming one of my favourite series ever!
i remember watching that video of refreting of the red&blue and thinking how much i enjoy watching this master luthier...thanks for this series...such a treat!
One of the most fascinating bits of this for me is hearing how resonant the wood pieces are, even before they become an instrument. The braces, clinking together in Jonny's hands, sound immensely satisfying. Such an amazing art, the selection of good wood.
So this is a truly fascinating journey - Johnny is a true artist, craftsman and gentleman. Extraordinary to watch this and as a bit of an amateur wood worker myself as well as a guitar player I am, quite literally, in awe. We spend so much time on the electric guitar and pedals and amps and tubes, all of which we (I) care about deeply, it is still quite a wonderful New Years treat to watch the roots of the instrument still being practiced today. Salud.
Jonny is so top-notch - it's ridiculous. What a Legend. I'd work in his shop for Free ( I am being 100% honest ) - just to learn, from someone with his vast knowledge.
So when I initially saw video one post, I did the math and thought that 5 hours of acoustic guitar construction? No way. I watched episodes 1 and 2 back to back and find it riveting and amazing. Incredible watching the guitar take shape and so cool observing the craftsmanship. Hard to believe wood glue holds like it does. Every time he was handling the top and back that had been wood glued together, I was getting stressed. Can’t wait for the next episode.
Thanks for sharing Dan. Jonny sure knows what he is doing! His build with the scalloped bracing and all is amazing. I had never seen how it is done. Can’t wait to see and hear the final result.
Awesome series! A little bit disappointed that we didn’t get to see Jonny sculpt the sound board’ trusts, carefully testing the boards resonance as he goes, but I guess that’s a bit of his art that needs to be kept secret - or Dan couldn’t make that day.
This video really highlights the level of detail this luthier puts on his guitars. So amazed at where. and how he places the struts; in addition to making sure they are essentially locked into where ever they join on the guitar. I always feel like it's always those little bits that really change the quality of a guitar, and an acoustic one especially. Thanks heaps for sharing this build :D
To see the confidence in the hand shaping of the struts speaks volumes. I laughed at his explanation of his "caveman" press. Very down to earth. Looking forward to part 3.
Holy Moly… the knowledge, in this video is absolutely amazing…. So many years of knowledge and expertise that is purely brilliant… just well done… I’m 18 mins in but had to comment on how thankful i am on such a great video… thank you in letting us in on such. A great build and video and the understanding and knowledge it takes to make an acoustic….and I’m gonna stop writing now and keep watching… such an awesome video so far- Kevin
I am absolutely loving this video series! You can really see where the time and effort and expense comes from when building hand made quality instruments.
Even better than part 1. Watching a craftsman at work is fascinating. To see all the things he has fabricated to do his build is very interesting. Sooo cool! I would love to be able hire a build and watch as it progresses. And to document it on video is even better. Can't wait for the next 3 parts.
Happy New Year, lads. What a treat to watch Mr. Kinkead work! I started doing my own repairs and building electric guitars (the T-style in my picture was one of my first) because of watching Jonny on TPS. The way he does things is brilliant, from making his own tools and jigs to the way he approaches even the smallest repair. I have learned great skills from Jonny even though I've never met the man, although I wish I could!. Thanks Dan and Mick for posting these videos, and if you read this, please thank Jonny from me, for inadvertently teaching a Canadian how to repair guitars.
LOVED when Dan put the camera into the guitar... you could "hear" the body's resonance. What a treat to watch a master like Jonny work. So looking forward to the next! By the way, if you guys are enjoying these vids, check out Driftwood Guitars here on RUclips. They are currently in the process of building a guitar from 3000 year old Sitka from Alaska! (among other builds). 🎸✌😉
These are genuinely, literally--not to mention functionally--EPIC. What an incredible treat.
This series has to be one of the best things TPS has ever put out. The attention to detail is simply amazing, truly in awe at the amount of skill this takes. I will never look at handbuilt/boutique acoustic guitar in the same way again!
Exactly my thoughts, it’s given me a while new appreciation of these instruments
I like how often he addresses the fact that the guitar is going to get a blow, or take a fall and how important details (rather that over building) will help a guitar survive accidents.
watching Mr. Kinkead build a guitar is infinite times better than doing assignments I must say :3
Jonny is such a wealth of information, but he’s also so calm and easy to listen to - I could spend hours watching this man make a sandwich.
Thought I was going to start crying over the back going on for a second there... feeling oddly emotional over this build for someone not all involved haha. Thanks for taking us along!
This is truly inspirational to see a guy in the prime of his skills creating an instrument like this. Jonny is the consummate craftsman and a real gent and cricket lover. Awesome stuff.
The unintended ASMR value of these videos is off the charts
I watch luthiers' videos quite a lot. One of my obsessions. I love that Dan is involved in this. His excitement adds so much!
Driftwood Guitars do good videos.....
@@simongray3966 Yes! They're great. Crimson guitars use another one. There's a competition called the Great Guitar Build Off. One day I'll give it a try, probably from a kit! 😄
Anyone else watch these before bed? There’s something very soothing about them.
Cheese, port, Christmas cake and ‘How to make a guitar with Jonny and Dan.’ Perfection
The way your voices projected inside of the body at the end with the camera inside, just from talking near the guitar was amazing, really shows you the power of acoustic architecture!
This is the magic right here. A big guitar company will spend a couple hours on the bracing and do all the bracing to a template the same for each guitar.

Wonderful. Being a cabinet maker myself, it is a true joy to get a glimpse inside a true master's shop and to observe the skill and experience at work. Just watch the way he handles a chisel. It takes many long years and many badly cut fingers to learn how to handle a chisel like that. Thanks for these vids, Dan. A real holiday treat to see.
It's the sound of the cut that gives him away as skilled at sharpening & using a chisel to me.
Yes, yes. After 15 years I'm still learning to sharpen mine well. A fine skill in itself.
The amount of work and attention to detail he puts into parts of the guitar that nobody will ever touch or even see again is such a lesson in professionalism and work ethic for everyone, no matter their job.
I hope that Jonny takes on an apprentice, if he hasn’t already, to carry on his amazing guitar making skills and techniques.
Can I be his apprentice? I'm 50, in Oz, and have failing eyesight - but I'm keen. Have I got the job?
soooooo many excellent homemade jigs- you just couldn't learn this stuff without a lifetime of experience. J.K. should be considered a national British treasure. Thanks TPS_ this whole series is just amazing-
Ah, yess! another episode of "That Kinkead Show". Loving it!
We'll be getting one of these every day now? OH MAN PLEASE!
Yep!
@@ThatPedalShow What an amazing surprise. Thanks guys!
So cool to see a guy building his 534th guitar and still be so enthusiastic about every aspect of it! Loving these videos Dan!
I had the honor of building my guitar with an authorized Martin luthier with 46 years experience. What a treat to perform that under his tutelage! His hand made tools and jigs were amazing.

We call that a win! Nice one MTemps. :0)
Seriously, I’m so relieved to know that this will take multiple episodes, I didn’t want the last one to end. I hope they are all this long, too.
Too right. And ... I already know I'll be watching them _again_ !!
Isn't it a beautiful record to have so much footage of your dream instrument being made. This series is a delight so far. Thanks for doing the hard yards Mr S!

I was expecting one video a week! One a day, so far, is...a fantastic surprise! Thank you.
Man, what a fabulous treat to eavesdrop on that bracing discussion. I appreciate this series so much, thank you!
Being a proud Canadian I loved the Jean Larrivée shoutout!!
Fantastic! When I was a boy I wanted nothing more than to be a part of rock stardom.
I sure do wish I had second thoughts.
It's alarming how soothing this is to watch.
It does my heart good to see all the bits and clutter around the shop -- now I don't feel so bad about my basement workshop. I've built 3 classical guitars from scratch.

Love to see someone so passionate about his work share his knowledge
I could watch Jonny do this for days
Great series of videos
An absolute privilege to watch. Thanks TPS.

It is a privilege to be able to watch this series.
This is SUCH an excellent education! Man thanks TPS, and lorry loads of gratitude to Jonny. A superb new year treat.
Once again… Brilliant. Now the wait for one of these gorgeous instruments is five years, not two. And it is readily apparent why.
These are so relaxing to watch while noodling away :)
Was gutting emotional watching this process for some reason. Maybe it's just just the appreciation of seeing a master of his craft at work to create such an incredible thing. So good!
It’s amazing how thin that back piece is.
This is a privilege to observe, Johnny is a Jedi knight, those woodsabres are handled with amazingly calm precision. The force will be strong in your OM, play it wisely Dan, you are our only hope... etc
Wow this is awesome! It's so great watching an artist building a guitar.
Brilliant watch, what a craftsman Jonny is, fantastic 😆

Well earned and well done. Can't wait to see what comes next and to hear the finished product.
That is just beautiful! I'm blown away by this work of art.
The next day! Monsieur, with these videos you are really spoiling us.
Listening too and watching Mr. Kinkead work is human equivalent of taking a few Xanax and I mean that odd comparison in the best way possible. Gratefully calming and that doesn't even touch on the wealth of knowledge that can be garnered. Jonny should be on at least once a month.

Worth watching just to add the word "caul" to my dictionary.... of, and all of the amazing woodwork!!!
While watching this informative and entertaining series, I'm installing a truss rod into a fifties archtop that didn't have one originally. Perfect.
A masterclass not only in guitar making, but in how to be a kind and humble master.
I’m currently in isolation with Covid, I’m loving this and watching it all, amazing work and what a lovely man he seems to be!
I love how they are called ‘go bars’ when nothing ain’t going nowhere!!!
This is amazing Dan thanks.
I love Johnny's no bullshit approach to everything, his honesty is so refreshing .
A box of PG tips behind the bandsaw , brilliant !!
Every bit as fascinating as part 1. It's shaping up to be a magnificent documentary.
What a mesmerizing site it is to see such a master Luthier at work. That shop is one of a kind, why upgrade if something gets the job done. Awesome Daniel!
All those years of work and only 534 guitars. It shows how much time he puts into each one!
Part two builds beautifully on part one. I had a number of questions that went unanswered because an hour long video cannot answer all of them, and some might be considered master's secrets. This is rapidly becoming one of my favourite series ever!
What a gift this is for all of us. Wonderful! I wasn't expecting daily episodes, so was stupidly happy to see part 2 show up today.

It's like watching decades of luthier experience packed into one video. Thanks dan for filming and documenting!
Dan, this mini-series with Jonny is awesome. So cathartic, it's like a meditation. Thanks for documenting this!
This has been great Dan, even the wife sat and watched this with me.
What a nice chap 👍

Another excellent video! I was about to go play my electric guitar, but after this video, I’ll be reaching for my Martin acoustic.
Great video!! Jonny is my kind of luthier, he is one with the wood.
Is anyone else doing a shot every time Dan says “oh wow”?! 🥴🍶🍻
I have a feeling this series will be the best thing I see in 2022. Thank you Dan for documenting this process!
Magical. Loved the long bendy clamping stick method.
After vid 1, I open and hit like right away! Time to sit back with a tea and just enjoy a master!
