    Thanks for sharing your process! This build really topped all the other builds out there because you used very common tools and did most by hand. You answered many questions I had about building my own and thank you again! It came out fabulous ❤️

    What a joy this video was to watch :) using conventional tools and perhaps an unconventional way of doing it I enjoyed every minute, and no doubt was just as excited as you to see and hear the finished product...and both didn't disappoint. Thank you very much!

    Absolutely gorgeous! One of my favorite builds! And I've seen many! To do all that with basic hand tools is incredible! You've created a fine instrument! Sounds really nice too. Bet that mahogany makes for good tone! I have much respect for what you have done!

I have started building guitars with a few more modern tools and one will be a pinecaster i cut with a chainsaw and a sg style guitar that i plan on building the neck as well that i will post when i am done. Thanks for posting!

    • @neonpike
      @neonpike  6 лет назад

      since this video the guitar has been made into a semi acoustic , so has another joint around the sides . ive sprayed the whole back black and put a black burst on the face , so no more scars !

  • @knpepper6409
    @knpepper6409 5 лет назад

    Very cool, I built my own out of Mahogany, "The Hog" and Hog it was, it weighed a ton, sustained like crazy. I tried all sorts of things to lower the mass, very deep contouring/relieving etc, but nah, still way TOO heavy, had to ditch it in the finish.

    • @neonpike
      @neonpike  5 лет назад

      i sawed this in two and scooped it out somewhat , so its now a semi acoustic . still sounds good but is prone to cracking - it was happier as a slab

    • @neonpike
      @neonpike  5 лет назад

      yes , i eventually cracked and sawed it lengthways and routed it out then stuck it back together - its now a semi acoustic

  • @meadish
    @meadish 6 лет назад

    Amazing job! Can you describe how you got the telesocket output jack flush with the wood?
    I see you started out drilling the hole with a spade bit and then seem to have used a round file, but it is not clear to me what tool/technique you used to get the lip of the socket to fit flush with the body?

    • @neonpike
      @neonpike  6 лет назад +1

      i had a cylindrical grinding drill bit which was the size of the flange on the socket , and the filing just allowed me to centralise it

    Again another great tele build from you! One question: did you ever get install any string ferrules in the back if the body? because those string ball ends will dig into the wood over time.

    • @neonpike
      @neonpike  7 лет назад +5

      i did , but also i hollowed the guitar out because it was too heavy . a few people commented that the wood is teak . i hope to put together a follow up video , with a better guitarist than me playing it

    • @tonydurago9844
      @tonydurago9844 6 лет назад

      Mahogany is a heavy wood not as heavy as Teak, does have a heavy sound. Gibson was using mahogany in their acoustic guitars back in the 1960's I believe. Sweetwater is selling a Fender Made in Japan Mahogany Offset Telecaster .

  • @shaneirwin9461
    @shaneirwin9461 6 лет назад

    Loved it when you knock that relief off with the hand saw....first go.
    Champion effort buddy, great work and a beautiful guitar. The numbers of people who saw this over the years is not indicative of the content.
    So the big question, after all is done.....Just how heavy is she?
    Edit:
    You may find her go out of tune a lot faster and more regularly without the little steel ferrules that hold the string in the back, but very easily remedied.

  • @woodbug270
    @woodbug270 6 лет назад

    Great craftsmanship and gorgeous guitar but I think that is Imbuya not mahogany.The yellowish saw dust is a good indicator that is Imbuya a really hard and heavy wood glad to see you used a dust mask.

    • @neonpike
      @neonpike  8 лет назад

      thanks , i,m not sure about the weight difference between the two woods . it would have made a great semi acoustic tele . the weight would have been halved and i,m pretty sure it would still have kept its sustain and tone because of its close grain - maybe next time i find a chunk of wood !!

  • @genekloszewski5484
