I really love the body's shape, reminiscing of a Les Paul but different enough to be it's own thing, also an amazing burst. One of my top 3 from this year
You're most certainly not the only one, very cool guitar, you got the look just right, even down to the uncovered bridge pickup, lovely, and a classy headstock
This is the one here. I love that finish. It correlative to the Tiger Burst. So well crafted, too. And the back and neck are too much. Just nigh perfect. I'm in love yo.
Great guitar. I actually like the cutaway on a Les Paul style better but I'm sure this one has an ease of reaching the dusty end of the neck better maybe. I wish you would have played it
Bro! you're my hero, I definitely will follow your video for some guidance on my Les Paul Double Cut, beautiful build, hands down to you bro! I will have some questions down the line, hopefully, you have some time to answer them. Thank GOD bless.
@@simonhenriksson27 Thank you, I just can't find a single video on youtube that shows me how to paint white limba to get the color of the Gibson yellowish Korina explorer, any thoughts on how to get that color tone. Thank you in advance for taking the time.
@@yarellopez I'm not 100% sure about that one but I do think that the reason the originals are yellowish is because the lacquer has aged. If I wanted to do a similar color I would probably use some type of stain mixed with my clear coat, the Stew Mac vintage amber stain should be pretty good.
Very fine work, and the video really captured all the essentials. One small criticism: the background music is too boring to last all the way through the video.
Thanks! Yeah you are probably right about the music. I was supposed to have a few different songs but I felt like keeping it simple on an already tight schedule.
Your build is amazing! I have so many questions. I can’t tell you how long I’ve been wanting to build a guitar but just don’t know if my woodworking skills are up to the challenge yet. You make it look so easy with all you jigs
@@simonhenriksson27 so I have 3D printers and thought about printing the pickup templates. But don’t know if I have the knowledge of doing my own neck yet
Whaaaooo. You did an amazing job. Congratulations. The end result is awesome. Although I was really scared to see all those holes who made after the finish was done. So many opportunities for drama ! The burst looks perfect. Can I ask you what polyester sealer you used ? Maybe a brand ?
Thank you! Yeah I would have preferred to drill all the holes before the finish but I didn't have any of the parts. The sealer I'm using is a polyester sealer and it's a local Swedish brand.
Building my own electric or acoustic guitar is on my bucket list..When you decided to built your first guitar..did you buy the (special) tools in one go or did your tool arsenal grow over time. Any advice for aspiring builders? Why did you not share the sound that it creates...how does the instrument feel....does look great tho..
I did not have all the tools when I built my first guitar, but I was able to work with the stuff I had at the time. You can get pretty far with just "normal" tools and not the ones made specifically for guitars. My advice for an aspiring builder, just try and see what happens. If you get stuck somewhere you can always try to fix it with the stuff you have or that could also be a great time to invest in a new tool to help you continue. I wanted to record a demo for the guitar but I could not find the time during the competition. I'm gonna try to make one in the near future. Thanks, glad you liked it!
hey Mr. Henriksson, have you ever played Cry Of Fear? it's a video game where the protagonist shares the same name with you, SImon Henriksson! i suggest playing it especially that its free :)
Tack ska du ha! Just nu gör jag ingenting på beställning, pluggar på heltid. Oftast gör jag bara hela gitarrer, händer att jag fixar mina egna och personer i min närhets instrument.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder... Some love the shape but for my eyesight its a sore. Its the most stupid shape I've laid My eyes on. That's ugly. Sorry
I really love the body's shape, reminiscing of a Les Paul but different enough to be it's own thing, also an amazing burst. One of my top 3 from this year
Thank you very much!
Excellent build of a lovely instrument, well done! Can't wait to hear it!
Thanks!
You're most certainly not the only one, very cool guitar, you got the look just right, even down to the uncovered bridge pickup, lovely, and a classy headstock
Thanks!
I really like the way the body joins the neck, great shape.
Thank you!
Beautiful work. I don't even play, but I learned to appreciate fine workmanship while paying for all of my son's goodies when he was young.
Thank you!
Nice work! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Awesome build! I wanna start building guitars myself but im only 16 and has very little experience.
Thanks! If you wanna build guitars, go ahead and try. Don't be afraid of mistakes, that's how we improve.
Really like the tweaks to the Les Paul shape you have made. The guitar looks really good.
Thank you!
Excellent job! Very tasteful burst! 🎸🎸🎸🎸
Thanks!
Beautiful piece of work.
Thanks!
Beautiful burst and guitar overall! Great job!
Thanks!
Beautiful, great work.
Thanks!

CONGRATS 🎼✌🏿🌎✌🏻🎼
Thank you!
🎼✌🏿@@simonhenriksson27✌🏻🎼
nice job
Thanks!
You are a very talented woodworker. I think the color is right on. Could you give some detail about how you made your logo please? Thank you.
Thank you very much! I made the logo in Adobe Illustrator and then I got a company to print it as a thin sticker.
Great guitar. I actually like the cutaway on a Les Paul style better but I'm sure this one has an ease of reaching the dusty end of the neck better maybe. I wish you would have played it
Thanks! I'm gonna try to make a demo for the guitar as soon as possible.
should have played it .....but very cool looking guitar nice work !
I agree. I really wanted to include a demo but I could not find the time to record one during the competition. Thank you!
Bro! you're my hero, I definitely will follow your video for some guidance on my Les Paul Double Cut, beautiful build, hands down to you bro! I will have some questions down the line, hopefully, you have some time to answer them. Thank GOD bless.

@@simonhenriksson27 Thanks, makes lot of sense
Wow! You're so young where the heck did you learn this! And I'm scared to change the strings 😆 congrats man you are a big boss 👍
Thank you!

Thank you very much! If you wanna build your own I think you should give it a shot. Don't worry about making mistakes, that's how we learn.
@@simonhenriksson27 so I have 3D printers and thought about printing the pickup templates. But don’t know if I have the knowledge of doing my own neck yet
@@kryptonicloser That's a good start!

@@simonhenriksson27 Swedish brand, which is... ? 😄
@@fredaubaillyguitars The sealer is from a store called Biltema and it's just called "polyester".

What bridge is that? Is it designed to be that far off of the body? Beautiful instrument man. Well done.
Thanks! The bridge is a Gotoh wraparound and it's designed to be like that.
Awesome build, great quality! Can I ask what type of sanding sealer you're using?
Thank you! I'm using a polyester sealer, in this case it's a local brand which can only be bought where I'm from.
@@simonhenriksson27 How local is local, I'm in Oslo?
@@karstenhammerhansen The store is called Biltema and is located all over Sweden.
@@simonhenriksson27 here also :) have you got a product name, would be a great help!
@@karstenhammerhansen It is just called Biltema polyester, you need the hardener as well.
Amazing build & awesome look!! Why didn't you at least play it for us to hear the guitar?????😭😭😭
Thank you! I really wanted to record a demo for it but I could not find the time during the competition. I'm gonna try to make one in the near future.
hey Mr. Henriksson, have you ever played Cry Of Fear?
it's a video game where the protagonist shares the same name with you, SImon Henriksson!
i suggest playing it especially that its free :)
I have actually played it, but it was years ago.
@@simonhenriksson27
personally i suggest playing it again, the music in it is phenomenal just like yours :)
@@aisultanumar9152 Maybe I will :)
Riktigt snygg. Gör du ombandningar på beställning,? Eller bygger du endast hela gitarrr,?
Tack ska du ha! Just nu gör jag ingenting på beställning, pluggar på heltid. Oftast gör jag bara hela gitarrer, händer att jag fixar mina egna och personer i min närhets instrument.
No demo? Great job, though. It’s a bad ass guitar.
Thanks! I couldn't find the time to record a demo during the competition. I'm gonna try to make one in the near future.
Dude I wish I could do what you can do
Thank you!
It looks great but no demo?
Thanks! I didn't have time to make a demo before the competition ended. I'm gonna try find the time to record one in the future.
I waited 36 minutes for you to play it???
I'm gonna record a demo for it in the near future. My plan was to have one included in the video but I ran out of time.
It should be illegal to make guitar building videos without demoing the finnished instrument…
My plan was to record a demo but I could not find the time during the competition. I had to prioritize what would be included in the video.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder... Some love the shape but for my eyesight its a sore. Its the most stupid shape I've laid My eyes on. That's ugly. Sorry
i wanted to hear it...???
I'm gonna try to record a demo for it, but I did not have the time during the competition.
@@simonhenriksson27 cheers bro. like that les paul idea, looks nice man.
@@edwardprzydzial Thanks!
