One of KZreads Best Luthiers!!!

Great craftsmanship! I love watching you videos!!

Thx for the video. These are the best out there. I really wouldn't be as far along as I am without you!

That is a really looking top wood. Thanks for the upload and your videos are very helpful🤘

Man, Great vid BigD, again! Thank you so much. I know I sound like a broken record, but you are wonderful! Great content, always! Great instruction, always! Great direction, always! Watching BigDGuitars vids...priceless! Thanks so much Derek!

Looks really nice! I like your set up for cutting the belly cut. Saves a lot of work!👍😎🎸🎶

Great video!

Nice strat body, I'm sure it will make sense when it's finished but why did you veneer it before cutting the belly and arm contour? That is a nice veneer I probably would have done it after but it looks like you have a plan, looking forward to the next video.

Looks like this one is gonna be awesome. Do you use something like Clorox to bleach that veneer?

Question Derek... Any particular reason you do the 3/8" round over after the belly and arm cuts? Seems like it might be easier to screw something up doing it after those cuts (I would, anyway LOL). Cheers! Chris.

great vid. are you going to apply veneer to the arm cutaway, or leave it the same wood as the body?

I use Titebond 3 for Veneer, what is the difference with Titebond cold press? Thanks.

Good looking guitar my friend

nice as always derek !!

Can you use scrapers instead of sanding?

That veneer is gunna blowup w stain. Nice and flat too. Big fan of Strats w figured tops. Is the Bond Strat done?

Kevin Bond oh hey sup Kevin...😬 yea thin necks suck lol

YEAH!

I don't recall if you have a vacuum press or not - but if you're interested in getting one on the cheap see the odd sized bags here: www.qualityvak.com/clearance.html Would have been nice to make that arm cut and then adhere the veneer....

I LOVE STRAT....

Halid Haris I DISLIKE STRATS

Are you really sanding off the veneer for the arm contour? Oh man! Should’ve did the contour first. Oh well.......

Haha. I thought about it. But loved the look of the cut off

A really other good way to veneer is using the iron method
