I built a guitar out of a SHELF during quarantine !

- Опубликовано: 6 июн 2024
- This is my third guitar build, handcrafted in Brussels, Belgium.
I used wood from a shelf to make the body, not only because Brian May is my hero, but mostly because the build started in mid April 2020, as Belgium was in complete lockdown and my usual lumber store was closed. Making this guitar may look tedious (or stupid) to you, but this was my own personal therapy during this insane period.
Update (January 2021): I've been teaching myself how to build guitars for the last 15 months, so I thought I'd share my findings with you all. Here is my first (and most likely only) tutorial on " How to make a guitar at home : a comprehensive guide for the weekend woodworkers and other guitar enthusiasts with no woodworking experience who always had the dream of building their own guitar but never really knew where to start" :

0:00 Little sound demo
0:19 Top and back
5:19 Sides
9:42 Neck and fretboard
19:59 Finish and electronics
24:52 Beauty shots!
Here are the specs:
- Sapele top and back
- Mahogany & sapele sides (two plys)
- Wenge & mahogany laminated neck
- Ebony fretboard
- 628,65 mm (24"3/4) scale, 22 jumbo frets (6105) with ebony fretboard binding
- Seymour Duncan hot rodded pickups (SH on the neck , JB on the bridge), two volumes two tones (CTS, all audio, 500k) no push/pull, three way toggle switch short frame (Switchcraft)
- Schaller tail piece and bridge
- Kluson tuners
- Graphtec nut
- Custom made pickguard and trussrod cover (3 plys)
This was as demanding as it was fun ! The whole build took me about 2 months, working on and off when I had the time.
I'm not a professional guitar builder and don't sell guitars, even if I find your private messages very touching and somehow flattering.
I'm probably going to pass this one on to my kids someday, as a reminder that hard work can be rewarding sometimes.

again, only for my family and myself :)
little update (December 2020): a lot has happened since this video came out and I haven't had the chance to record the demo yet, but I did 2 other builds, including one with my hand in cast and using only hand tools (I think it's a fair answer to those blaming on my " crazy expensive power tools") :

The thing I love the most is that it's completely handmade, right down to the fretboard which not everyone does. Incredible craftsmanship.
thank you for noticing :) I thought people would call it a click bait if i called this build " handmade", so I didn't
I understand the sentiment, and it's a shame. I mean, you went the extra mile to make it as manually as possible; I noticed that you had the necessary tools to do certain steps faster, but you showed great craftsmanship in choosing not to. It's a masterclass in lutherie, and I like every part of the result.
@@BeastOfSoda thank you again :)
I also built a sweet guitar last year. Solid body flying v. Through neck design, plus I made the fret board too buy hand. No cnc. Mine Turned out great. No video tho.
But your guitar would be really hard to do compared to mine! Great job. Looks awesome. Very nice.
I know someone who does things from scratch Search elegee custom guitar Philippines
Having the skill and talent is one thing, but having so much patience is another.

It’s not so much patience as enjoying building something. Skill comes with lots of fun practicing and getting stoked learning new stuff
Awesome work! Cheers!
Thanks !!! I've been following you for years btw :)
@@tchiksguitars thank you very much! :)
The most enjoyable 26 minutes I've ever spent on RUclips. Just a true craftsman accompanied by a child to produce a beautiful instrument from a shelf. And all without any annoying background music.
Thank you.
that's so kind !
If you enjoy that kind of videos also check out this one ruclips.net/video/sAeXskZHC2o/видео.html
Also enjoyed not having background music!
Just the beautiful music of well sharpened woodworking tools in the hands of a true craftsman. Fabulous video 👍👍

Wife: "Honey, do you know what happened to the shelves?"
Husband: *plays guitar suspiciously*
It'll be the front door next...
lol... @FlyGuy, came here to pretty much say the same thing.
Wife:"Honey, by the way. When did you buy that guitar?"
Husband:plays guitar suspiciously
That made me laugh right out loud! Hahaha!
Husband, hey honey have you seen my new guitar anywhere? And by the way, where did those funny shaped shelves come from?
I love it when Dads let their children witness their crafts.
Would that not depend on what the dad's craft is? 😂

That workmanship is incredible and the guitar turned out spectacular! I really love this one
Absolutely therapeutic. No background music, no speech, just pure craftsmanship.
Ironically wonderful lol no bg music while "making music"!
Agree, thought the same
No wonder I felt at ease and the time just kept rolling and rolling. I didn't realize how annoying background music is. But it's Extra, Extra annoying when a youtuber just keeps talking about what is obvious.
I think you should start your own company and name it "Top shelf Guitars."
I guess the grain in the back simply had to be bookmatched.
The slogan should be:
Amazing hand made guitars straight off the shelf
@@DevonThomas1204 "Be quick, they are flying off the shelf." 😂
@@dontassumemyfender9866 😂😂
But what if he uses the middle shelf?
One of the best guitar making videos I have seen! Excellent job on the video and especially the guitar! Thanks for taking the time to video the process so well.
Love your work ethic. Beautiful build. Something therapeutic about watching guitar builds, thank you.
So true
When I clicked this video: I have some tools maybe I can build a guitar too
2 minutes in: My cousin has a wood shop I may have to ask him to use it
4 minutes in: I'll still need to buy tools that cost as much as a few guitars
Halfway through: I don't think tools are my problem - this guy is a wizard....I guess I'll just buy a guitar.
Beautiful craftsmanship
Haha that escalated quickly. To give you hope :
1) my entire workshop is still cheaper than a any US made Gibson Fender PRS guitar
2) I began woodworking 3 years and 4 days ago :)
It's just a matter of patience, will and passion !
hahaha I was thinking the same thing! maybe I will try to build a... nevermind!!!
tchiks guitars & furnitures so by my calculation, if you decided you want to go to Mars today, you’d get there before NASA, Space-X or Blue Origin! Well done on this - the skills set on display here are usually reserved for craftsmen topping 25 years experience. Amazing stuff.
@@tchiksguitars how do you learn to do this. It's beyond my comprehension
@@reginaldworthington7558 haha that's so kind. Reading all the nice comments on my so called "craftsmanship" or "talent", I feel like a total impostor, it's really hard to explain. I'm just a guy in his garage, hanging out with his daughter, figuring things out and filming it. I feel like anyone who's willing to do what I do could do it (and by "what I do" I also include collecting tools). Anyway, thanks !!
You are a true craftsman. That guitar is a work of art.
Art of work
Here is the thing..
Imagine you was the shelf.. and you felt that you had a greater purpose in life more than holding a few pictures frames and some books! You was so bored of life that you even started warping..
Then came the human turns you into a guitar and you became a famous musician 😂😂 now that’s a pinocchio shelf version 🤣🤣
Not only was the joinery, on-absolute point.. the way you shot and edited this, was undeniably one of the best examples of how to and poise, I have ever laid eyes on.. well fking done mate
I really enjoyed watching this. I love playing guitar and have done for most of my life. Recently I've come to watching craftsmen like yourself making the instrument. I find it meditative and I love the sound of the tools on the wood. Thank you.
What an honor to see someone of your immense woodworking talent (not to mention photographic skills to capture it all) do this complex arch top semi-hollow guitar project from start to finish. It helps me to visualize the knowledge, time, care, skills, patience, tools, etc. etc. it took a little Italian men making a Stradivarius back in the 17th century. I could watch your video over and over. Thanks for sharing it.
Thank you !!
Yeh, it really is beyond awesome....
Has restored my faith in the human race again. Just love it.
Little Italian man my ass..!
That small town had a lot of builders at the time. You can find a video on here telling the story. None were dreaming of the results to come later. We now slaver over 70 year old guitars - some of which are precisely replicated day after day - for some reason. Go figure.
People will sell their cars and/or mortgage their houses for "vintage" (I hate that word) Fenders and Gibsons.
Find a Les Paul FB page and see the idiots squabbling about bursts. I think they would fight each other at times.
They would turn their cork sniffing noses up at this guy's hand made art if offered it for free.
Humans are a strange lot.

A friggin' master class on 25+ genius techniques to use on any guitar build. Bravo!
Incredible skill and attention to detail. The hours of painstaking research and trial and error that must have went into building such quality instruments is to be admired as well. A true craftsman by every sense of the word!
thank you so much !
That's a beautiful guitar! Hopefully, there were no domestic disputes over the shelf you used to make it.
I won't say anything without my lawyer (she's reading the comment section :p )
@@tchiksguitars 😂
Where's the shelf? What shelf? Oh that shelf! Hmmmm... good question.

I REALLY REALLY liked that little jingle in the beginning... i keep looping it over and over and over and over and over and over

**mind blows**
Note how he placed the saddle at the very last. That is so any imperfections in getting the 12th fret exactly halfway between the saddle point and the nut can be adjusted for while setting the intonation.
thanks for noticing
@@tchiksguitars Can I ask, how do you set saddles in the bridge when measuring to drill the wholes for the bridge placement? Do you move them to the farthest position from the nut at the end of their travel, set them all to the middle, or set them roughly where you think they'll need to be after it's intonated, judging from experience?
@@ViciousTuna2012 I leave them where they're set in the factory, then measure the distance from fret 12 to nut, the use that distance from the 12th fret to know approximately where to put the bridge. Then without drilling, I use shims to set the intonation right, and only after I drill everything in place. It's very common to do it like that I think, at least that's how Dan Erlwine does it :p
People like you are what makes the internet great! The guitar is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing your hard work.
Incredible work. Not just the execution but the vision of designing and putting that together.

"Tedious?" "Stupid?" My God, man - if I had this kind of precision equipment - and these insanely professional skills - this is all I would be doing, all day, every day, until the end of my life. My nights would be spent playing these beautiful instruments. I spent lock-down watching RUclips videos - thankfully, or I would have missed the treat of seeing this living, breathing, singing thing of beauty come alive in your hands. Thank you for making the guitar, and for posting it straight up, humbly, with no "grand soundtrack" to accompany the sound of your child, and your tools, as you crafted this jewel of human ingenuity and art. Good playing to you, and a happy life. Thank you for sharing your skills, your passion and your incredible attention to detail. Your books, however, are going to have a difficult time sitting squarely on their shelf, now.
Thank you for that wholesome sincere and intense comment :)
@@tchiksguitars You are more welcome than I could ever truly express, my friend... I forgot to mention that I have been playing guitar for 45 years, and had many beautiful guitars - but NOTHING - at whatever price point - has ever been built by hand, with such loving care - or come alive with such a beautiful voice. Guitars are like children: you don't really know what their true voice, or capabilities will be, until they are born, and mellow for a while. Yours started with such a beautiful voice, that I would LOVE to hear what it sounds like 20 years from now - it will be superb, producing rich, thick harmonics, and have endless sustain - a unique voice in and of itself. I hope it ends up in very good hands - it deserves it.
He will make something out of the books!!!
Speaking as someone who has built 2 guitars myself. Tedious. Stupid. Both yes. Absolutely, impossibly frustrating, tedious and stupid. But god damn it sure is satisfying. GREAT JOB MAN. Fantastic
berretta9mm1 here’s the thing that makes this even more impressive... he is not using precision equipment, he is using basic hand tools found in just about every wood shop in the world! The fact that this man is able to make a guitar of the highest quality using basic hand tools means that it’s not the tools that make the difference it’s the skill of the builder that makes the difference. 👍🏻👍🏻
hypnotizing video, our modern world needs artists like you. Thank you.
L'art du luthier en une vidéo avec un résultat incroyable ! Bravo à vous 😍
tedious??? stupid??? oh dear god no!!!!! the workmanship and care that went into it is second to none!! you can see how much love goes into making it and watching someone using hand tools to do this is so wonderful watching you use that beautiful and sharp planer was ...well probably gave me way more pleasure than most people would get from it!!! i loved it bravo !!
Patricia Fallis Yes I totally agree with you just amazing craftsmanship and what attention to detail! I would definitely pay for one of those any day.It’s pure love that you can hear radiate!
Did you orgasm??
I once made a guitar out of bits and pieces of wood, scrap metal and some old wire.
I practiced day and night and became totally brilliant, so much so that I was invited to go on stage with Eric Clapton when he was doing a huge sell-out show in Chicago.
I did a solo whilst Clapton played the rhythm .The chicks were screaming my name and throwing their under garments at me .
It was absolutely awesome.
Then my wife woke me up for work.
I'm still gutted years later.
🤣🤣👏👏👏 Made my day. Thanks bro
Nothing like watching a skilled luthier work. Well done. A gorgeous instrument.
Thank you so much for sharing this incredible story with us. It is so beautiful to watch you create this wonderful instrument. It is so kind of you to help us to understand how these works of art come into being.
So... in the next episode, you'll show us how you built a replacement shelf out of an old guitar? ;)

Thanks for posting!
Just to keep things clear; This is not, ofcourse, the first guitar this guy has build in his life...marvelous piece of workmanship, might I say, top shelf job!

Beautiful guitar and craftsmanship! The video is impressive too! I don't think I'll ever build a guitar but now I really appreciate how much work and care go into building a beautiful instrument like this. Thank you!

And let's not forget all of the skill and patience that went into the filming and editing of this video - each shot carefully set up, properly lit and focused, then sorting through hours and hours of footage and cutting it down and putting it all together to tell the story clearly without any narration required. Bravo.
I'm pretty new at that (too) so it always warms my heart to read something like that, very motivating thank you !
That's really interesting to watch and it must be very rewarding to play something you made with your own hands. Hope you enjoy your guitar.
It is, and I do :)
You show amazing patience and skill throughout this video. It was a pleasure to watch all your hard work yield a cool guitar.
I wish I had this mans skill I would have guitars hanging everywhere

Yep... Even worse when you don't have the same level of skills and you have them hanging around.

I think it was a bot of some kind, posted the message in 3 different comments :) blocked.
Stupid? This is something as a musician I could never do. The fact you made something like this rather than getting glued to the TV or video games is a huge accomplishment. Good on you!
Welp video games and tv is not my problem here but school
As a viewer I put my mind in "coast" and when the second shelf was pulled I realized geniuses know each other! You obviously work at the highest levels!
This is the second time I've watched this video from beginning to end. An amazing project with an equally amazing result during one of the toughest times we've faced. Well done mate!
Why would you watch this twice :p tough times indeed.!
Dude, I can’t believe the level of “figured out” as far as build construction and techniques you use. This is your third build!!? Incredible. Thanks for posting, I learned many tricks from you on this.
It is actually hard to beleave this was his third build (probably of the same guitar). But I guess he must have some expreience from furniture building.
@@KurtKnispel3200 (this is the very first time I made this model)
That was so satisfying to watch, I can only imagine how it feels for you to look at it in its glorious completion. I’m so envious of your patience. Thanks aloha
The initiative is amazing... but the result is even speechless! What a beauty you have created! Congratulation.
Stunning craftmanship, kudos to you :D
What an awesome job mate. As a woodworker I can only imagine that there was an amount of anxiety going about the final steps of the build and not wanting to make a mistake having done so much work. That just kills.
at some point I was afraid to go in the workshop and let the carved plates fall on the ground. I felt better when they were glued in place :)
Brings quite a new meaning to an "off the shelf" guitar.
Mike Acuña nice
Everyone can go home now, Mike won this comment section.
by far one of the better and satisfying youtube channels I've seen in the last 4 years. well done and thank you very much for sharing this stunning skill with us...
Thank you for the kind words :) stick around there's more where that came from
Immense admiration from a fellow countryman, absolute beginner guitar player and clumsy handyman!
Mesmerizing to look at all the techniques, tips and tricks available and freely shared. Fantastic to see all the simple tech tools used. The hairdryer as heater. The enforced wash pins to hold the sides. Amazing to see the strength of simple glue connections. The painless patience. The first-time-right handling. The kid playing with dad and his wooden block toys.
Wow! Pure enjoyment.
It must be a joy to own such a brilliant instrument made by yourself.
Thanx !!!
I will never, ever, again do a double-take when I look at the price of a finely built instrument. I feel pretty useless as a human being after watching this; but at least I can play a guitar passingly well. Thank you for allowing me the pleasure of watching your process.
you’re not useless friend 🙂. This does help make the price feel justified though.
Yeah we aren't useless but this does kinda show my limitations. This guy is way beyond most people's abilities!
Wow! Dude, you are awesome, literally, I realized about three quarters of the way thru that my mouth was actually hanging open. What you did with those boards is so crazy awesome, you are truly an artist and master of your craft, best video I've seen in this year, I know we're only a few days in to it, but I think it's going to hang on to my #1 spot for a while.
beautiful guitars and super fascinating watching the grain change as you work the wood
It still fascinates me too :)
This was quite possibly one of the most enjoyable videos i've ever watched on RUclips. As a man with very little craft skills to name, it's humbling to watch a man being able to do what has been done here. The fact that a shelf made up the body is neither here nor there really. It's the skill that is the most impressive factor. You made great use of this weird time.
As a guitar maker since 1979 I can attest to the amount of work that goes into making a handmade guitar needless to say I am impressed
You are a magician as well as a musician. Absolutely wonderful.
Such knowledge and skill. Absolutely stunning. Also a great array of excellent sharp tools. Fascinating to watch.
I built a guitar using *ONLY HAND TOOLS* (no electricity or " crazy expensive power tools ") and *ONLY ONE HAND* :

As soon as I can hold a guitar again, I'll record the demo for the Shelf Guitar! It's been 5 months now, no need to remind me, A LOT happened since then :)
This literally might be the most interesting guitar build I've ever seen. Just watching all the hand tool & patience shown, yeah, I'm blown away

Incredible precision in the work. Congratulations. Plus the guitar sounds really good!!!!

best 26 minutes I've ever spent and enjoyed THANK YOU!
Excellent work and craftsmanship, definitely impressive. Thanks for sharing.
I’m floored. The devotion that it takes to do this, while still maintaining such a high of attention to detail, is super impressive and the result reflects that. Well done man. And great video production to boot.

@@davidburne9477 She's actually the fourth generation :) My grand father was a woodworking teacher and my dad and most of my uncles have been doing woodworking more or less profesionnally. I just never got the opportunity to learn anything from any of them as I wasn't allowed in the workshop. This is my little revenge, and I wanna pass on so much to my daughter :) she has a bucket full of scrap wood, a bladeless block plane, her own custom mallet (off of a guitar neck scrap, very fancy mallet :p), and is welcome anytime in the shop as long as it's safe (that's why my shop is always that clean)
tchiks guitars & furnitures My grandfather was a patternmaker for a coach builder, and later a builder. I loved being in the shed with him. When he died I was about 12, and my mother and her siblings did not even ask us kids if we wanted any of the tools, they just sold them all off. He had a set of spokeshaves from about 5cm wide to about 30cm wide that I used to just stand and admire. It was set of 10 or a dozen ranging in size.
It breaks my heart every time I think about how they sold off their heritage for a few hundred dollars. Good for you to keep the line continuing. Me, I make lap steel guitars when I get the time.....
@@davidburne9477 congrats on the hobby ! Very inspiring too. Your story is the reason why I love going to flea markets and buy old tools, restore them and use them the way they're supposed to (not showing them off in a glass cabinet ), I feel like I give them a second life, there's just something fascinating about tools. One day I found a 90 year old blade forged in Belgium ( the forge closed in 1930 after a bit of research). And I got it in a beat up wooden plane for ....1 euro ! I put a new edge on it and built a new plane (jointer) and it works like a charm now.
