Really enjoyed watching your videos, it's really nice that you still use lots of hand tools. Learned lots of tricks and I think I'm going to use with your permision your recipe/precedure of shellac and tru oil finish
Greets from Spain
Cheers!

Extremely interesting video. This is a one-of-a-kind guitar and whoever ends up being the owner is very lucky. The Luthier who made this beautiful guitar is incredibly talented. Hats off to you then and cheers and thanks again for such an inspiring video.

It turned out great! Can't wait to hear the demo!

[@CranmerGuitars]

Thank you!

[@TheRob2D]

Nice job. She looks good.

[@geraldponce8336]

Like my triangle file set for crowning frets, too. Feel like I am in complete control.

[@roryoconnor31]

Wow.... well done

[@lonewolf8464]

Absolute artistry!
I’d chop my left leg off to have you make a guitar for me😅

[@strawman3059]

These videos are golden thankyou
Great tip with the nut file as well
I stained my walnut body blue without using a pore filler,is there any way to get it out?

[@salvadorelmercabotageiii9148]

Finally a demo hahahahha
Looking forward to knowing how it sounds

[@CranmerGuitars]

Haha you're never going to let this go! There might be an archtop demo in a couple months too 👀

[@salvadorelmercabotageiii9148]

Thanks¡ no pressure

[@yoheff988]

With the EVO Gold, do you over radius the frets like you would with a standard fret wire?

[@thewolfden4680]

That was a joke about crimson rite?? Lol I hope tour kidding .9ne of the best custom build guitar work shops on RUclips

[@CranmerGuitars]

Yes I was joking. I was offered a job there, but turned them down

[@Transformers1983jd]

What red stain did you use? I love the color.

[@Argentuza]

Did you use any glue for the frets?

[@michaelpolutta3131]

Been there, done that with the screwdriver slip. Empathy, dude.

[@CranmerGuitars]

It only ever happens after they've been finished too. Its almost as if they become magnets

[@refraggedbean]

this kind of stuff is why working on electronics in good condition I almost always add a buffer between my tools and the body other than between what the tool needs access to

[@AwenLutherieCustomGuitars]

Doritos brand Shellac.. Do you find classic mild the best or is hot worth a mention?
Great videos, thanks for taking the time to do them!

[@CranmerGuitars]

I like it spicy

[@brianwalsh2945]

very interesting
where did you learn to make guitars , are you based in Scotland ? North of Ireland

[@CranmerGuitars]

Studied in Glasgow for two years and then Newark for another two

[@yobentley7274]

7:09 just killed me, My biggest fear. Not being able to easily correct and have to start the finish all over is a tragedy.
