I really don't know why you are not more recognized in the online community. You are literally THE source to watch when it comes to staining a guitar top.
This blew my mind, I did NOT think that top was going to turn out to be one of the nicest I've ever seen. The contrast you got on that is on its own orbit, wow!
Man! I do hardwood flooring (creating the samples) and I love this work you do. Similar to what I'm doing. You have a lot of talent & I hope you know you're gifted!
Oh my... Dude, that was f*ckin amazing. Thanks for this vid. I’m s hobbyist, and you really piqued my interest in trying this type of work. Absolutely beautiful! It came to life right before my eyes..
As soon as you sanded back the brown and cleaned it off...man, I'd be happy with that! But then the yellow really brings it home...Great work, man. Learning a lot from watching these!
@@bigdguitars Love this video as well as all your other ones. I have a well figured maple cap Tele body that I want to do a similar finish on. Have a couple questions about the sanding process . Are you using a variable speed sander and if so how fast do you set it at? And also how much pressure are you applying? Thanks
Those Japanese Fenders are so clean looking and for a Telecaster that guitar is a rock machine. Got to compliment you on your playing, can't beat playing a little old school Aerosmith,nice job.
Finish turned out beautiful. I wish I had this tutorial 20 years ago when I used to build parts guitars. Would have saved much frustration and re-work. 👍
Is it me? Do you ever think once, you've gone to far? I'm doing a burst and I'm thinking I went to far, that's why I bought a laminated ES 175 China body (my first) and I think if it doesn't work? So far it looks angry. An Angrybirst like I waited 50 yrs of playng and I'm making my first hollowbody and I'm making my first hollowbody electric an Angryburst. My electronic's same and different. I was raised in a TV repair shop that my father owned an operated over my first 20 years and 50 yrs of playing and learning, but I never thought of building some guitars until my first hardbody was dying. I was built by al professional nass maker. So then I made one. And like it. And now I'm making another but liter and my love with wood is weird, but the look of grade 5A flame to scallop is mesmerizing! Today I split a cord of an Olive Tree and the Nation's Revere honor natural wood of Israel. It's taking me 5 year to break this piece of a log and I still need to split a 2nd board really another log like the 1st!
That is fucking gorgeous! I thought it was waaaaaay to dark w/ 1st coat and figured you were going to sand it- inspiring- just getting into dying -and trying to do enough research to do it right - thx fer sharin! I didn’t get this good instruction at Luthier school!!!! Serious
How do you finish the back, also with tru-oil? I'm also looking at options for finishing a flame maple over alder body and have heard that Alder doesn't take stain. I'm looking to do a darker blue back but am fine with seeing the brown through it.
ausum i cam home from home depot with a locktite produt GO2 turned out its polly glad i rubbed it in to some scrap maple it wasnt fast and it was thick but it buffed out sweet for 4 bucks for 1.75 oz.
Do you happen to remember the amount of dye you added to the water to achieve these hues? I'm just about ready to starting dying my body and any advice would be greatly appreciated!

This ain't rocket science homie, millions of woodworkers know how to do this!
This video inspired me to do my own tele build! Thanks for making these videos! I must have watched this a dozen times by now man.
this looks absolutely stunning! what an exceptional piece of wood!
Looks absolutely superb, what a lovely top and you got the color scheme spot on
I don't know how many times I've watched this. One of my fav videos on the channel, along with a few others
Outstanding pattern at 12.55! Love that color and shapes. Super.
You have an amazing talent for this. I'd be proud to have any of your guitars in my collection. You inspire me to try your techniques on my builds.
This is maybe the best paint job I have ever seen on a guitar. Just incredible. Would love to have seen it finished. Beautiful.
Don't mind me, I'll just be watching this on repeat.
don't be stealin any of my vid ideas hahahaha.
Well there go all of my content plans for the next six months... haha
@@BradAngove Feelin' the love
Same here buddy.
I’ve watched this Vid countless times, never gets old…👍👏
Amazing. Love watching these come to life.
This blew my mind, I did NOT think that top was going to turn out to be one of the nicest I've ever seen. The contrast you got on that is on its own orbit, wow!
I watch all your videos and I think this is still your best finish. Can't wait to try it on a burl top I have on the bench!
Probably one of the best looking stains . The natural wood pattern around the pickups is crazy cool
Thank you for sharing you knowledge, now all i need is your skills.That piece of timber really deserved your work. Brilliant.
Wow! Big D you do really beautiful work!!!
Absolutely Brilliant! So gorgeous it would like a honor to own such a beautiful guitar! Excellent job Sir.

OUTSTANDING!! You Sir are an artist!
So helpful to watch this process man, thanks a lot for doing this.
Awesome!!! I'd love to see the final product!!!
That my friend is beautiful work! Stay blessed from the UK!
It almost looks like a landscape painting. Amazing.
I'm absolutely in love with this top. Oh my God...
I wish you guitar painters would show a fine image of it with the hardware on
I agree!
It is incredible how you make such nice work seem so attainable for average mortals.
jay elliott Right Jay?!! I said the same thing! “Wow, maybe I can do this!” (Of course I’ll botch it up)
I have yet to try it, but love the idea of sanding back and trying again if the results arn't quite right.
Wow, absolutely beautiful!
thanks for sharing this ive got a burl maple top tele im gonna do the same thing with. you do some incredible work.
This looks so awesome.
Unbelievable! Great arts!
Hi, Friend!!! I like so much your work!!! Congrats Regards from Mexico City
The final result awes me!
That looks sooo nice. You made my mind up for me to do a burleye cap on my next guitar.
Absolutely Stunning!
Beautiful! Nice work!
Beautiful work
Wow that thing looks awesome
Man! I do hardwood flooring (creating the samples) and I love this work you do. Similar to what I'm doing. You have a lot of talent & I hope you know you're gifted!
great flow, love the fast forwards, i didn't feel the need to skip ahead at all =)
I liked how it looked with just the yellow, after the 1st sanding. Reminded me of the surface of the moon.
Wow, that's beautiful!!!
Oh my... Dude, that was f*ckin amazing. Thanks for this vid. I’m s hobbyist, and you really piqued my interest in trying this type of work. Absolutely beautiful! It came to life right before my eyes..
Looks so awesome man!.
Beautiful work!!
That finish is truly beautiful
That little blurp at the top of the control cavity keeps drawing my eye tho
Absolutely fantastic !
That might be the most beautiful guitar I've seen
As soon as you sanded back the brown and cleaned it off...man, I'd be happy with that! But then the yellow really brings it home...Great work, man. Learning a lot from watching these!

Thanks for this video. That is incredible work. I want to try this when I get my first build finished.

This guy is awesome at what he does!
Thanks!
That looks great really cool
WOW!!!! Look at that grain, unbelievable!!! Good job man.
one of the best piece of wood I have ever found.
I'd say man, did you think it was going to turn out like that?
That's beautiful!
You thought this top wasn't so great? It looks amazing, such unusual figuring.
That would've made the coolest la cabronita ever. Some TV's in there, a roasted flame maple neck on it. Wow, as always great work. I'm a big fan!
That is one gorgeous top...great technique....
Stunning!
NICE WORK !!!
This is really awesome. I am looking to I corporate these techniques on my maple classical guitars. This would look KILLER on quilted maple
beautiful
Mother of god... thats outstanding!!!
Gorgeous
I don't know if I'd install hardware and play it, or hang it on the wall as is.
That's a work of art.
Mother nature and BIGD both get half the credit.
That is the Sweets ONE Yet I Love It
Awesome job..thanks
Stunning👍🙂

I have to ask - What issue of Fine Woodworking was that?
That reference guide to finish tones looks to be a good one to have.
TIA,
chase
I watched the first two minutes in horror... but shows what I know, this was awesome 👍
What does the tru oil do? Do you not use wood grain filler or primer? And clear coat and wet sanding?
Love your videos BigD! Question for ya. what do you cut the stain concentrates with? Thank you in advance!
That is bad ass!
Do you happen to remember the amount of dye you added to the water to achieve these hues? I'm just about ready to starting dying my body and any advice would be greatly appreciated!
you sound like Garfield and that's awesome lol also great vid.
Really cool :-)
Whered you get the body ?
Wow, the grain of that wood is beautiful. Why cant I find any Les Paul's like this??
This wood ie to die for... Rob
