@@frankierzucekjr as a carpenter you too can build a guitar, some master builders of guitars can't play, but make awesome instruments so don't let anything hold ya back from trying.

As a tradesman, I can fully appreciate the levels of craftsmanship, dedication and ingenuity required to build something like this. This is absolutely incredible to watch from the sidelines and admire your skill. This is the “New Level” that Pantera was referring to!
The quilted maple body looks really nice, the overlay looked like it took way more time and effort than it was worth but you did you did a really nice job on it.
That is one of the most fantastic things I have ever seen in my 62 years on this planet. It was like a religious experience. Wow!!! Thank you so much for sharing.
Anxiety attack ensued upon watching that free-hand drilling of the headstock for the tuning machines. WOW.. beautiful finish on the fretboard and great execution of your vision. Best of Luck!
I really should use a pillar drill (drill press) for that... habit though, and the drill press is a whole 2 or 3 meters away :/ thanks for watching in spite of the crazy! B
A student of mine asked me, why I'm convinced that humanity in itself is good and capable of great things. If I knew about your journey, I'd have shown this clip to her & *mike drop* Fantastic!
As a musician and experienced carpenter with an imagination and vision for creating things different, unusual and very detailed, personally I think this build is absolutely amazing. I also believe it is probably the greatest guitar ever built. If it come down to valuing a guitar by the craftsmanship then this guitar would be priceless. I have watched just a few videos of this guy building guitars so far and will continue to watch all of the videos of him I can find because he is the master of masters and this is his masterpiece! I believe this is the greatest guitar builder who has ever lived! I applaud this man's skill, talent and vision!
As woodworker myself, that was a pleasure to view. Thank you for documenting the process as you did. It was an unforgettable experience witnessing the creation of that true masterpiece. You sir, are a true master craftsman. Well done.
The craftsmanship is utterly amazing but I like the guitar underneath the "complication" more than the exoskeleton...mostly because it looks raw wood. It doesn't aesthetically blend to my eye. The electronic back plate too. The fingerboard is a work of art.
@@luckyPiston not a slight against the builder. Each of the components are quite lovely / interesting on their own. Just in this case they don't work well together, (IMO anyway).
And metal craftsman aswell. Holy wow the man is smart on coming up with ways on trying to get the custom bone looking casing to fit the guitar. This mans a genius
did i just watch 26 minutes of sped up montage of someone making a cool looking guitar? Thanks youtube, your recommendations are wack sometimes but this one was ok.
I almost had a heart attack when you started drilling into the face of your main body, seriously! My God man, what a work of art and the level of detailed craftsmanship is impeccable! Been a finish/rough carpenter/electrician/plumber and everything in between for 45 yrs and I for one....fully appreciate your commitment and skill level! Bravo!! Bella axe!
I nearly threw up when he drilled all those holes in that BEAUTIFUL FINISH to mount the exoskeleton. I don't particularly like the skeleton, but that was incredible work. GORGEOUS! You are blessed with that skill and patience.
THAT IS INSAAAAAANE! There must have been fifty times when I said, "NOW he's finished...great guitar"...and then you added more stuff! Absolutely incredible vision and level of craftsmanship.
The head tattoo looks like a series of bad decisions. Like the wings were ok, but then the biohazard thing was added, then the tribal triangle Viking design. What’s next, some Nintendo characters?
I love this exoskeleton on the guitar. All the different woods you've used are stunning!! You certainly must love detail work, at least on some level. This is just breathtaking. I hope you get out of it, at least what you put in. By that I don't necessarily mean money, but satisfaction in a piece of art beautifully made, and enjoying the looks on people's faces when they see it.
My sister actually bugged me into watching this. I don't play guitar, I don't own a guitar, I rarely listen to guitar music and I don't build things. This was AWESOME. Man you're talented. And bold. And diligent AF. That guitar is a work of art!!
I actually liked how long it took. It was like a television series and I couldn't wait to see the next week's episode! I've learned so much from your videos and it's helped me a lot in my building. Keep them coming. I'd love to see you coming up with a new body design and the template making process.
I love that his style don't match AT ALL the soundtrack that he chose for this video! He don't look like, but he's probably a really chill dude what is really passionate about making guitars! I subscibed imediately!
Though the two videos are nice bite-sized records of the build and a pleasure to watch, the 22-part series contained (obviously) a lot more explanation, design changes and techniques, which I found fascinating to watch. If you haven't seen all of these (and if so, why not?) you must. Do it now! I hope the guitar gets played every once in a while- after all the hard work and love that's been put into her creation, she needs to sing occasionally.
@@ksell5441 I didn't find it at all boring, but I liked the exoskeleton. I suppose it all depends on your point of view and life would be boring if we all thought the same.

As I watched, it sparked an idea of my own. I thought to have a; piano black main-body with an ivory skeletal frame actually embedded into the main-body. Giving the impression of the frame rising from within the body of the guitar. You sir are an inspirational artisan. Thank you for your video.

the work you did, the attention you paid to the details, your shear skill in the carving and wood work totally awesome. best random click I ever had. just amazing
This absolutely looks like an electric guitar that the elves of Lothlorien would play. I can see Galadriel shredding on this in the Noldorin and Sindarin shred wars.
AMAZING!!! TOTALLY AMAZING. The sound coming from it in my opinion is rhythm and blues. I just pictured the great B.B King bringing out the elegance of this unique instrument and baptizing it in the name of rhythm, blues and soul baby, hallelujah! Praise the blues, AMEN! Man! What a gorgeous guitar. Tremendous skills.
Once some of the more detailed work was in, you gave me a mini heart attack every time you pointed a less delicate tool towards the guitar like "NOOOO YOURE GOING TO RUIN IT! ITS NOT WORTH THE RISK! Oh nevermind, that went better than expected"

You see a man putting TONS of hours and all his heart and effort to create something unique and you have the guts to give it thumbs down? How much mediocrity is needed to be like that?
@@homo192 Anyone who values appearance over hard work and skills deserves that. I didn't like that thing over the guitar at all, but the guitar itself is amazing, so will I choose thumbs down instead of thumbs up or, even better, no thumbs at all? No way. Call that arrogance if you want.

Its amazing what you can achieve when you let your creative mind wander. Outfuckingstanding Guitar building guru. And for all the many thumbs down, go and shake your fucking heads, this was a labour of love.
I absolutely love the "webbing" or whatchamacallit but even without that it is a terrifyingly beautiful instrument! It's understandable if you're not aching to take on another project of that scale but if you do, we'll watch it!
I’ll bet your workshop smells amazing. I sometime used to make guitars at work using the milling machine, drill presses, lathes and sander/ linishers, the smell of worked wood took over the usual oily smell the place had, happy memories 😊 Most impressive build, it’s good to keep testing oneself 👌
The craftmanship is second to none!! What an honour it was to watch that build. I was wondering all along how the "wooden web" would take shape and form part of the guitar - I must admit, it detracts for me, massively in fact. I thought it was going to be inlayed somehow. That wouldn't last two weeks in a guitarist hands. But dear me, what skill.

He looks like the guy in Thor Ragnarok who was supposed to be watching over the gate! Lol
Phantom Aquarist - I was TOTALLY trying to figure out where I knew this dude from, Lol!😂
Samuel Luria yeah it's ridiculously uncanny
Very cool build! You’re an artist.
I don't even play guitar but I couldn't stop watching. You are a real artist, that's beautiful.
Thank you very much! B
This man crafted a sword with Crimtane ore from terraria

This looks like a kingdom hearts weapon
Watched this on Facebook so had to watch on here to give proper credit 👍🏻
holy f*** this guy just made a guitar in 25 minutes!!!!

If you speed it up he can do it in 12 minutes
"The Complication" sounds like it should be a song on a Fleshgod Apocalypse album
Going to be honest and say that I actually like the guitar more without the skeletor-thingie but the amount of skills and patience put into the piece deserve absolute respect. Well done, Sir.
Hey, thanks for watching.. I kind of agree with you too, I do love looking at her but she doesn't get played that much :( B
There is something about this guitar that makes me want to eat it, but I'm not sure what...
Looked like a cookie with icing after he put that thing on it
