    Isn't it at least 4000 years old by now?

    Never seen a guitar become vintage while it's being built.

    When I worked at Fender, one of my duties was side markers. We would line up about 15 necks on a table, (after rough contour cut on CNC) and bust them out with that 2mm plastic rod, except we had it by the foot. Wood glue and insert and clip proud. then they'd get fretted, then off to final sanding, where those guys would clean up the markers. my fingers were toast after doing that for 8 hours a day

      Chris.! Jerry Garcia called from the grave, and he wants his look back.! just kidding!
      I enjoy watching your videos, your guitars are amazing! I actually bought two of your paint handles a while ago. A few guitars that I’ve painted on my channel. Satin Black PRS style Guitar, Ibanez PIA.
      Custom super Strat that I designed and shaped a custom headstock on, and it is an homage to EVH, and prince. Being that it’s purple.

    Good video, I particularly like the way you casually continue like the guitar hasn’t been sitting on the shelf for a year.

    Fun fact: Since the start of this build, they have actually invented electric guitars! You should look into that. Amazing things, really.

    So great to have you guys back! You gave me a great push at the start of this build, I was working on #1 and watching your videos gave me much more confidence. Not throwing shade at all...I'm stringing up #6 today and have #7 about 1/3 complete, but none of them approach the degree of fit and finish in your builds. I'm just trying to hammer them out as I refine my tools, fixtures and jigs, and of course develop their sound. Would love to see a video on how your electrics are coming, possibly that business soaks up much of your time;)

    That inlay tool/router base has a port that you can connect an aquarium pump - which are very quiet - and work really well to blow the chips away as you route.

    that chalk trick is really a winner for me. Hated trying to see my scribe marks, and it just didn't click to do that.

  • @zaredshawver9496

    @Acornhouseworkshop 3 месяца назад

    Surprised you're not using a very helpful tip. Wrapping a small piece of thin masking tape on the router bit as a flapper to automatically blow the dust away.
    Don't remember where I saw it but it's a game changer!

  • @lcguitars2393

    Nice! A $xx,xxx guitar and beautiful plastic side dots! Glad you didn’t cheap out and use something like free scrap ebony!

    • @DriftwoodGuitars
      @DriftwoodGuitars  3 месяца назад

      Sure, because it’s the side dot material that make or break a great guitar. I probably should have used unobtainium instead of the plastic.

  • @WoodyPianoShack
    @WoodyPianoShack 3 месяца назад

    fascinating and admire the craftmansship. question, as you are cnc cutting the inlay, why not cnc cut one extra "stencil" of the inlay (the inlay as empty space) and use that as a jig when routing out the pocket for a perfect fit and quicker job?

    Thanks chris and matt for them amazing videos
    One question that pops to mind regarding the fretboard markers installation, are the inlays pre radiused to match the fretboard radius or when inlaying them they're left sticking out a bit on the sides and then sanded down?
    Thank you

  • @jdfinley57

    Chris, it looks like you built your crown inlay on some kind of backer material. Did I see that correctly? If so, what material did you use?

  • @trichromatic5717
    @trichromatic5717 3 месяца назад +1

    I know nothing about building guitars but wouldn’t a laser cutter be so much more efficient making inlays? I know they’re expensive but for the sake of ease.

    I tried carbon fiber side dots once, but that's horrible to work with. Turns out a real mess and a lot of cleanup is needed when you sand them.

  • @jeffalexander181
    @jeffalexander181 3 месяца назад

    Why don’t you just use your CNC machine to cut the pocket up for the inlay?

    • @DriftwoodGuitars
      @DriftwoodGuitars  3 месяца назад

      Because it’s a hand cut inlay, so there’s no way to do it with the CNC

  • @marmotsongs
    @marmotsongs 3 месяца назад

    The delay is due to Chris’s fashion sense. He needed to wait until the the color of the 3000 year old wood matched his hair color.
