I agree, and at the same time I really enjoy when others also enjoy what I have put together. I will without a doubt make the content I want to, I would also like to find a crossroads that works for the audience as well. Thanks for the support.
Amazing! Great video. How did you find the sound quality with the pots in the same hollow cavity? Do you think thered be any benefit to having a separate shielded cavity for the f holes form your experience? Im making a p90 LP semi hollow currently and havent done the routing yet :)
It's important to note that this instrument is not designed for acoustic sound. In fact, any acoustic tone that it produces would be quite negligible. Despite having removed a lot of material, the design still remains overbuilt. Thus, there is no noticeable difference in tone whether or not the pots are attached to the top of the instrument in the manner shown. Although the open chambers do reduce mass and result in slightly more open mid-tones, the change in tone is quite subtle. Regarding your question, if an instrument has a separate shelled cavity, it will have greater mass in the body. This, in turn, will help to reduce any resonances that could potentially transfer to the pickups. However, the difference in tonality is insignificant. The type of strings and pickups used on the instrument will have a much more significant impact on its tonal characteristics than any of these elements. You are on the right track with the single coils; in the end, more or less material removal will be a minimal tonal change.
Oh legend thanks so much! Glad to hear. I'm not quite at a skill level to make a full hollowbody so knowing that a semi hollow to a similar spec as this will be unlikely to affect the tone is very helpful. :)@@TwoCherriesIns
Well done and thanks for the content. One question: how do you ensure you are getting the same origin point on the guitar when you don’t have a corner reference?
I use a few techniques, for the most part I am using the center line of the instrument and a milled surface to set up my datums. I also set up the operations in a way that minimizes any tolerance stack. There is a lot to it, I should probably put together a video on the topic to share the lessons I have learned.

thanks for the great video. I do a lot of woodworking and just got a cnc router, now I'm motivated to make my wife a new guitar.
That sounds like a perfect plan
I think you should do the ones you enjoy the most, and not what we (spectators) want. This is your passion, and we shouldn't dictate what you do.

Great work. Will you be posting the neck and the assembly?
Yes, soon
