DIY Guitar Build! Ingenious Way of Adding Color and Patterns
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 дек 2022
- Making a guitar from scratch using some new techniques to get a unique and customizable pattern on the face. The guitar body is made from solid mahogany with a layer of white acrylic, an inkjet printout and covered in epoxy. The resin epoxy coating is then polished to a perfect mirror finish using the Norton Liquid Ice buffing system. This guitar build is part of the 2022 Great Guitar Build Off Invitational and will be raffled off to benefit my charity of choice, Small Steps in Speech.

“And if you don’t have a cnc, you can cut out a router template on your laser.”
“If you don’t have a laser, you can cut this out on your cnc”
😂😂😂
If you don't have a CNC just use your laser cutter. If you don't have a laser cutter, just use your CNC. Really? REALLY? ;)
It’s called humor. I laughed. 😂
Yeah, REALLY! You'll be fine 😏
These channels aren’t how to anymore. They’re look what I made.
I love when he trolls the trolls!
@@jerradjohnson1425 yeah, he’s stated several times that he’s done with the how-to and now he just wants to share what he’s inspired to do and hopes that it inspires others. He’s got a great back catalogue of how-to and I think Steve Ramsey still does how-to videos.
While I've admired the skill and craftsmanship of other GGBO guitars, this is the only one I would actually like to own. Great job!
Man, I was sitting there watching you sand, and singing..."Sand in the place where you live...." and then I was like, oh no! David missed it, then BAM it snuck up on me! I feel like pavlov's dog hearing that in my head every time I sand, or see someone else sand...Long story short, great video as always!
The cutout left after the body was cut out is pretty cool itself!
Could mount on a wall as some decor.
It's clearly a guitar body, so would make good music themed deco
Aaaaaaaand since I don’t have a laser, I used a magnifying glass and the sun!
It was great watching how your mind worked trying new things. Very inspiring!!
Also fun to watch you and Kelly playing music together!
BTW: if you’re disqualified from the competition, I will have the AAYTDD file a formal complaint.
Yes, that’s the American Association of RUclips Drug Dealers
That sand delay really got me. I expected it immediately and that was the perfect amount of time for me to think I was imagining things.
Well that explains why I just watched Jimmy Diresta make a guitar and then come here and see you also making one, a great cause and great work on your guitar
Oh, the anticipation.... Then finally " 'sand' in the place... "
I love awesome little touches for those of us who are paying attention 😃😉
It is insane how the simplest scribble can be 'graphicked-to-death' to make complex/random patterns using just about any art software. I call it digital doodling and I could fill a harddrive with design alternatives generated from just a single pattern. Your guitar face [I'm a Brit btw] makes me think of 1950's retro diners that I see in many films & TV. It is therefore absolutely fit-for-purpose playing rock'n'roll!
Great build! I used to be a guitar builder and you did a great job. Only thing I would say is to use threaded inserts on the next joint instead of wood screws (you didnt show it so maybe you did). Also instead of changing the body thickness and adding carves for weight reduction, you can chamber the body before glueing the top on and it will give you an amazing tone too! Love the video mate, keep it up :)
We're gonna do this on the CNC
Dont have a one? Just use your laser!
Now we're gonna use our laser, dont have one? Use your CNC!
♥
inspiring as always. great build!
Your best video of 2022! fun to watch and learned some new things!
Very cool project. I actually liked the 2x4 one! lol The finished guitar looks amazing! Great job.
I'd love to see a Home Depot guitar. Would probably sound like crap but it would be hilarious.
I watched 7 GGBO build videos today, what a treat! Love your approach with the printed/epoxy top. Thanks from Colorado.
Love seeing your excitement in this video. Love how the guitar turned out.
The pattern you made in illustrator is so cool!!
Looks so clean and intentional
I love your style David, the guitar and the video! It was great to see you and Kelly rocking the music on this one too. Thanks for all the fun entertainment and education too!
So rad!! Love how it turned out!
That guitar top has some cool Danelectro vibes.
Very cool.
Beautiful
I can't say how much I appreciate your attention to detail its inspiring to see folks who go that extra mile to get everything dialed in. Your guitar turned out beautifully. I really like that you actually took the time to compose a song and play the guitar too.
Thanks Dan!
Brilliant work. Great job and great technique on the body!
This is genius! Thanks for sharing.
I love the paper technique! Definitely makes this guitar stand out!
Love the guitar! 😍 Awesome job, David!
Great video David. Love the vibe, humor and the tunes!
I’ve been building guitars for a couple years now. That turned out really good looking. If you ever do another with a two piece body you can save a lot of weight by chambering (routing out the non essential areas) on the inside of the back before you glue on the top. Love the music too! Cheers.
Very cool! Since the pickguard is laser-cut, it would be super cool to use the CNC to route the body so the pickguard could be inlaid and sit flush.
One of my absolute favorite projects
Thanks Dan!
That is such a cool design. You knocked it out of the park
Love the design.
Gosh dang dude that looks fantastic!!!!!
Goooooooood lord are we eating good today with all the GGBO invitational builds!! I love the look of this guitar top, and the demo is awesome!!
That's so cool! I love it!
Beautiful guitar, Dave! And the “if you don’t have a…” comments were priceless 😂
Fantastic presentation.
What a BEAUTY
When I used to cut thicker material on the CNC I'd do multiple passes with shorter endmills and then use the longer endmill after I had already removed about half of the material. Then you can do a finishing pass with the longer endmill if you want to remove any lines caused by the different length endmills. The finishing pass would help cut down on sanding time. You inset your final/finishing pass by less than a 16th of an inch.
Superb. That top is a really cool idea too.
Always entertaining and fun! The guitar came out awesome.
Well done!!! Love the guitar and your channel!! Cheers!!!
Nice build man! Wow!
love it. great video, grat guitar. loving your new style
Love the experimentation. It was a great idea and the results are beautiful.
Bro. Beautiful. Classy. I love it!
Man, I'm following you since de drunken woodworker era, really glad to see you participating in GGBO2022, you made a really original and awesome guitar, I really love it, thank you
I love this build, BUUUUT I really love your music!
Awesome video David. Heard you speaking about the guitar build on your Podcast with Jimmy and Bob. We could hear your excitement when talking about the build. So it was a joy to actually see you putting everything together. Thank you for sharing the passion ❤
Incredible build, that color and epoxy technique is pretty fire!
Beautiful guitar. Im a sucker for those 50s curves and colors. That pattern technique you discovered could be a game changer. Also, outstanding production quality in this video! Well done
Great guitar great music David!
Very cool.
Ooh! Gorgeous result Dave, really smart 😀
Another well paced video! When I edit I like to randomly stop and guess as to how long it's been. If it's been over what I guessed then that means the video isn't dragging and time is flying by. If it's under then I need to pick up the pace a bit. You always nail this with your videos.
Sweet lines, swank colours and smooth notes.
very classy!
Absolutely AWESOMESAUCE! 🤠❤⚒🔥
Your a genius man. Keep sharing. Cheers
The end result is spectacular.
C'est superbe !
very nice! I love the retro look
Love your design aesthetic. Gorgeous design…again.
Awesome
very cool shape and style. It's like a jazzmaster-meets-telecaster... a telemaster? a jazzcaster? a jellymacaster? whatever you call it, it's cool.
Great creative use of Illustrator and Pshop! I've used it to decide on pattern scale and orientation -it's an invaluable part of my workflow. Your guitar is beautiful! I have to admit I have a soft spot for formica with aluminum edging, and it also looks great with the white you used.
That build came out great, really interesting technique!
I don’t play guitar, but MAN is this thing pretty…. 😍🎸
Beautiful guitar. I've gone down a bit of a rabbit hole with guitar making videos lately and like you , like the idea of making and selling some custom guitars. Setting up the neck etc is probably the most daunting for me but this video is great inspiration. Thanks
That guitar turned out gorgeous, as always amazing video man!
if you don't have a CNC, use a laser cutter was funny. if you don't have a laser cutter, use a CNC was funnier and made me choke on my coffee... Well Done!
Dude you FREAKIN ROCK! new to your channel. Its now my #1 go to!!
Dave the guitar turned out awesome! The white acrylic layer really ads a great detail. I would love to see your new technique used to make a matching guitar and amp
The anticipation for the R.E.M drop
I really like your new "non tutorial" style. Great build, great video.
Really cool design David!!!!🎸🎸🎸🎸
thanks
Great work. You are so good at design, shape, and color. Plus the music as well... And video... And humor... And
That looks cool as hell.
Began the year with a banger, ending the year with banger.
David Picciuto a man on fire!
Fully sick bro.
Karya bagus ,dengan di dukung dengan alat yang memadai.dengan hasil pembuatan gitar nya indah sekali
Heard about this on the podcast. Seriously incredible project!
Huge MSB fan. I saw him in concert many times. Cool that you have his guitar ❤️
He was kind enough to exchange some emails we me. Sad we lost him last year.
Very cool David. Love the printer thing. 500 years ago I was playing around with epoxying fabrics to guitar bodies.. came out like crap, but it was fun. Your project camer out awesome. Dig the podcast too. -Derek
David very nice video. This turned out very well there. Cool design. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work David. Keep Making. God bless.
I hope you do a shadow box or something with the "frame" of the blank for the body - would love to see it filled with epoxy so they're complimentary opposites.
Awesome build! I've always wanted to do a similar top on a guitar but the acrylic was such a cool idea I never thought of that! It'd be cool if you did sort of the opposite and built a guitar using only the most basic tools you can get away with. Awesome video, great playing too!
Amazing work, Dave! Really beautiful design!!! 😃
I loved the colors!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Fantastic guitar very cool! There is something about this video that hits me just right. Love the art, craftsmanship, skill, and the jams. Love the direction you’re going with your vids.
Also +1 for you and your lady jamming as outro for all future vids 😉
This is beautiful! As soon as the great guitar build checkout stops giving an error I'm entering for this one and Tim Sway's.
I was totally waiting for the sand in the place where you live. Wasn’t disappointed. 😂
It looks awesome, David! And it sounds great too. Your music could easily be the sound track to a Tarantino movie!
This guitar turned out fantastic David! Your creativity and style really shine through in this build. I'll be buying a few raffle tickets for sure!
DAVID!!! I won your guitar!!! I am so excited, what a beautiful instrument!!!
Now that was an awesome guitar build David! Having made a few solid body guitars & an Acoustic guitar myself, I know the amount of time & effort involved. Heading over to the Guitar Build raffle site to check it out! 👍👍🎸🎸
Been following the podcast. I really looked forward to this. (Cool sounds too)
Something you could try with the plexiglass. Route a small channel around in the wood and run some surface mount leds around the body near the lip. The white lip then could glow. You can see this done with stopboxes with the bottom plate replacement. Could give a nice vintage 60’s look that might add to your design.
NIN vibes from the song! 🎶🎶🎶🎶
The delayed sand in the place that you live 😂🎉 so good
