This guitar does it for me. Tele and the minimalism.. And the control knobs 😋 I'm going to put these on My guitar (and keep them on the top so they can be operated with one finger whilst playing).. 👍
That looks great! I liked the little jig you use to hang it whilst drying. Might have to steal that idea - last time I used the washing line which was not ideal.
Great job and great video! I made my homemade Tele about a year ago. It's a 30in. scale baritone. Pearl Green Appleburst over Pearl Gold on the front. Pearl Eggplant Purple on the back. 2-ply *polished aluminum* strip binding secured w/screws DiMarzio Vai Evolution Pickups Babicz Bridge Hipshot Tuners CTS Push- Pulls I've got a short display video on my YT page/channel. It's the one called Tele-Baller BootyCaster.
Really enjoying your videos. I’m starting the build journey myself and love some of the techniques you use in your creations. Incredibly creative.
Thanks so much. Hopefully these techniques will be helpful on your guitar building journey!
I really enjoyed this series. Currently buildind a Red Special as a first guitar, but may be my undoing!!!! Cheers.
Have fun! I’m sure it will turn out great!
Making the pickup blades and the fretboard inlays match is pretty much God Mode. Awesome.
Thanks Chris. Even matched the angles, because why not!
A minimalist guitar deserves a minimimalist reply. "WOW!"
Thanks Jurgen!
This one certainly came together nicely! Simple concept, well-executed.
Thanks David. I’m very pleased with the outcome.
Design is everything - plan, fit and design elements come together in subtle shape...
A very fine instrument - well done!
Thanks Mike. It was a challenge to get the features balanced, but I’m very pleased with the result.
Fabulous. This is one of those builds I marvel at and reference. Bravo sir!
Why thank you!

It’s cool to hear that other people would like to try this idea. 👍
Brilliant, Aaran. Dad’s absolutely chuffed. Incredible skill and imagination. Also, really nicely produced video!
Thanks Daniel. It’s been a fun journey making this one. It will hopefully be delivered soon and I’m sure you’ll get a play on it!
Stunning work as ever, from design concept to completion, bravo
Cheers, this one certainly tested a few design and execution ideas.
Great looking guitar, great craftmanship. Always enjoy your videos, keep up the good work.
Thanks Paul, I appreciate it.
Damn! You have got to be happy with your work on this, looks and sounds great!
Thanks, I’m very happy indeed!
What a stunning guitar! I love the contrast between the wood and the black metalwork. Have loved watching you make this!
Thanks Simon, glad you’ve enjoyed it!
That's beautifully simple!
Thanks Bart!
I love everything about this build Arran, really great work as usual!👍
Thanks Gio! I was extremely happy how it all came together as planned.
Looks nice and clean and sounds really good.
Thanks Robert! 👍
Terrific result. Love the inlay at 12th reflecting the pickup blades.
I'd never find the pot in a live setting though lol
Thanks Graham. A bit of muscle memory retraining might be needed for a quick change, but it actually becomes intuitive reasonably easily.
I just don’t like fretboard inlays… except for these. These inlays are exquisite and I love them !
Thanks! I think it was just right for this guitar.
That looks great! I liked the little jig you use to hang it whilst drying. Might have to steal that idea - last time I used the washing line which was not ideal.
Thanks! It’s a handy little frame. I should probably make it a bit taller so I can hang up necks as well.
Very cool.....
Thanks! 👍
Great job and great video!

Thanks! I’ll have to check out your video. 👍
Beautiful, what are the materials used?
Thanks. Which materials do you mean? If it’s the wood, the body and neck is Silver Quandong and the fretboard is Granadilo.
