This is the best Acoustasonic concept replica ever. Many others tried to copy the concept, but definitely this is the winner. Excellently accomplished!
This came out fantastic dude! The soundboard pickup and magnetic pickup sound awesome together! Almost sounds like an acoustic and electric playing together. Real unique sound!
Really beautiful work man. I was totally on edge while you were fine rasping out the f-holes! I built one guitar, a solidbody, about 15 yrs ago, and it’s not perfect, but it turned out okay and is still very nice to play. You’ve really inspired me here -this looks exactly like what I’d like to give as a second try. And documenting on video -outstanding, thanks! I’ll send you a picture-- in a year or so😂
Sir, that was an amazing build on a stunning guitar! I enjoyed your craftsmanship and your artistic talent at every aspect. I loved how you incorporated hand tools into your work so well. The instrument itself sounds and looks outstanding!
Absolutely awesome. I get a lot of ideas from your builds and your creativity. I was thinking of doing a semi-hollow body bass next. You gave me some great things to think about, especially that floating bridge. Great job!!!
Neat. I have a design for a similarish build ready to go and am awaiting my new workshop to be built. I enjoyed your build and video and it's given me a couple of ideas for refinement of my design. Cheers from the Antipodes.
@MerwinMusic Absolutely beautiful build! The binding is such a nice touch, really brings a professional look to a custom build! I have a question for you: I am working on a similar concept build- using a Fender Tex-Mex bridge pickup and, for the “neck” position, some JourneyTek piezos (looks to be the same ones you used)… anyways, I was wondering if there was a signal difference between the different types of pickups, and if so, how did you deal with it?
Is it full hollow body? I have a full hollow body telecaster, but It's different. My guitar have bridge block, but your guitar have bracings. Your guitar is awesome. My guitar made Freedom Custom Guitar Research, Red Pepper. It's good, too.
Definitely a very slick build there, great attention to detail. Beautiful work. Can I ask how thick was your finished body before you added the soundboard?
How did you secure the bridge? or is it pressed by the strings and removed when you loosen the pegs? I repair guitars, but I want to try to make them myself. There is a video for inspiration. greetings from Russia 🇷🇺
It is basically just held by the string pressure but I added very very tiny dab of glue to keep it from getting bumped especially during string changes.
Did you angle the neck to keep the string height good using the arch top style bridge? I'm working on an acoustic tele project and I dont really like the look of the standard acoustic bridges but an arch top seemed to high. Your guitar looks great!
Beautifully made. Amazing job. Now I want one haha

Thank you very much! I love it.
Came here for the build video, stayed for the soundtrack!

Hermoso trabajo.!! muy linda viola
3 a.m. this morning, I thought, " a full hollowbody tele, with P90's ". this is close enough.
Cool, thank you

Great work, love the vids. You should start selling some these!
That's a vibey guitar sound to be sure. Quite surprised.
Beautiful build
Thanks a lot!
If you sell that 🎸 guitar, how much do you ask for it?,,,or maybe making one similar. The sound it’s fantastic.
Beautifulllllll!!!!!
Hi! Very good job, impressed. Is the body the same size as an electric guitar?
Love your vids man... so relaxing and you learn a ton in the process of watching! Keep up the great work!!!
Awesome build . Always wondered how you wire both acoustic and electric pickups to the same output
Holy shit I love it

My guitar made Freedom Custom Guitar Research, Red Pepper. It's good, too.
Great what typ of titibond do you use and why? I see it's number 2? Why that one and not poplar 1 or not so poplar ( but i like it) number 3?
Awesome. Can I recommend the masking tape and superglue trick for holding down templates?
You can. I tried it at first and found it to be more hassle than it was worth.
Definitely a very slick build there, great attention to detail. Beautiful work. Can I ask how thick was your finished body before you added the soundboard?
2 inch (5.08cm)

Yes. I tried to demonstrate that at 0:56. Used some shims to get the template at a 3 degree angle when I routed the neck pocket.
Nice build! Really enjoyed this video! Keep up the good work 👍
And where did then neck come from ?
It is a pre-finished Fender all parts neck.
Nice job although I think you wasted a lot of wood in the begining
Customer……. What can I get for like…. $300.00?
