A minute in, I had every intention of hating this video and the guitar. I was thoroughly proven wrong.

Thanks so much for watching! Happy you made it through.

Incredibly high "wtfs per minute" readings on this one

Stunning - I would say the first headless guitar I have ever seen where some real thought has gone into the aesthetic of the headless end.

@MarkGutierrez

Thanks for saying that. I spent a great deal of time on the form and function of the headless portion.

Agreed, but when building a guitar, there should be more guitar music in the video. I find that a little more enjoyable. Still the first good looking headless in my opinion.

If this stunning beautiful piece of art does not win, then there is no justice any more in this world. I can’t believe my eyes, I can’t believe my ears. You Sir are a true artist, a genius. I think you might have just built the best guitar in the world!!!!!!

Just beautiful, everything about this is amazing ... I’ve watched a million videos of guitar builds, but you’ve taken it to another level, filming, editing and music all top notch, makes for great and very entertaining watch ... I’d love to take that guitar for a spin, very cool indeed ... wish you all the best with your guitar building ...

Thanks for the awesome comment John.

This guitar is a triumph! Just gorgeous, and it was beautiful to see the care and workmanship that went into every detail. Thank you for this video.

Looks real nice, that wood and sparkly golden finish contrast on the "headstock"! also great playing in the end, love the leads

Omg. It's so sleek 😍 Incredible concept, design, execution. And vid production too.

Beautiful. I love when guitars are functional pieces of art.

This guitar came out beautiful! Thank you for sharing. The headless neck looks awesome! Creative.

Simply amazing. One of the best (if not the best) guitar build I’ve ever seen. A master piece!

This is such an amazing design in almost every point. The finesse of the headstock, slim body curves, the pickups, the fretboard... It’s incredible. I would wish for a somewhat lighter bridge but also understand this may not be physically tenable. It stays absolutely beautiful. Great work!

You just made me want a headless guitar! Incredible... such a minimalist, futuristic aesthetic

Simply Stunning, It is the first headless guitar that I have thought "OH! i want A headless Guitar" and not just any headless guitar either. As someone who has never been a fan of the style this may just have changed my mind. Congratulations.

Wow!! That's another level!! Really nice choices! Beautiful guitar - very special. Well filmed also! Great job, my friend!!

I wanted so much to hate it seeing so much machining - by the end I absolutely loved it - should be displayed in a museum for everyone to see. Sheer out of the box brilliance. Hats off to you brother.

You DID it, Sir! You sold me on a Zero headstock guitar; not an easy task. Your opening statement got my attention.

Absolutely incredible! Some real skill involved there. How anyone could give that guitar a dislike is beyond me. 🤷‍♂️

This is the only headless, fanned fret guitar I have seen that I not only liked, but loved. This is a really special build and you executed it flawlessly. Great job sir!

super beautiful, elegant and original. wow.

This guitar amaze me Such an incredible craftsmanship.

Outstanding work Mr. Gutierrez... you're content is a pleasure to watch. I wish I had known about GGBO earlier, you'd have had my vote both years. The almost retro-futurism evident in your conceptualizations, and music, is terrific.

awesome! one of the best so far

amazing guitar and cool music throughout the video

dont know what i am more impressed with your skills building or playing . hats off pal .

Beautiful build. You have a very different approach to guitar building than I do, but your results are incredible. Kudos!

Bravo! I love it!

This is my absolute favourite of the competition, love it!!

Breathtaking beautiful. Especcialy the head: a work of art! Potential winner. Rob

STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL WORK OF ART !

Incredible build and incredible quality vid.

What a joy to watch. Top notch.

Fabulous man. Incredible build. So glad the you documented the project.

This is a beautiful instrument. You've officially made me want a CNC machine haha.

I’ve always gravitated toward neck builds that factor in equal parts fine art and engineering. You, sir, have taken it beyond the next level. 👍🏼 on your mesmerizing video production as well. I hope you place in ggbo ‘21.

Great job man! I love this look to Future Tel-E.

absolutely gorgeous build!

Best of... Many thanks, great stuff

The pickups are unreal looking! Amazing.

A beautiful expression of art and function.

Ive always liked the practicality of a headless guitar, evem having never played on, it makes sense. And the cool factor, but this is the first one Ive liked the aesthetic. It’s still got a headstock shape, which is a big part of the personality.

@russellmorgan5611

Always thought that. Why can 't a headless guitar have a headstock? No machine heads doesn't negate the need to finish the neck with some semblance of style, as displayed here. Most adequately.

Amazing design, video and final results! Wow.

I think your channel is great. You inspire me very much. Your videos are not only a documentation they are art I think. ❤️ The music and the mood that your videos have are great and your guitars anyway 🙏 Because of you I have now also got me a Cnc machine 🤩

AWESOME JOB!!!!

Beautiful video, beautiful guitar, great playing!

Started watching like duh, but ended up absolutely amazed. This guitar is a masterpiece, so beautiful and elegant, every detail is so well thought! Amazing job and also amazing playing 🤘🏻

Every choice well thought out and nice, artistic choices at that. Even with the pickups and them being hydro dipped. Great design and great playing. I am going to watch this again.

Super sweet of you to say John. Thanks for the comment. I have so much of that hydro-dip material left. I'm gonna experiment dipping everything I can get my hands on in the next few weeks.

That is beautiful engineering! Form following function. The DuraCoat finish is a stroke of genius! Well done man!

Fantastic build

Truly awesome build. Damn, I want one.

Beautiful.

Fascinating - and fabulous 'sci-fi' video, complete with guitar free soundtrack - until the final reveal.

What a fantastic build! Such a pretty headless guitar. That music in during the process was brilliant. I'd get an album of that.

Amazing work! This is actually the first headless I like. Looks like fun to play.

mindblowing,,thank you!

Absolutely flawless. You clearly know what you are doing with that CNC. The only unusual design choice for me was the flat fretboard.

That guitar is just incredible, really ncie job and playing man

That was great! Beautiful work. That machine is a beast!

Amazing craftsmanship, incredible out-of-the-box invention, tastefully subtle design and aesthetics. Signs of a master craftsman. Beautifully done, sir.

Incredible bills job well done looks great

Wow nice guitar and nice playing ! Good luck !

This guitar makes me happy. Masterful.

Originality, aesthetic and attention to details. Stunning beauty

Man I am impressed. Very cool. Love the shape of the body and the headless neck works beautifully in the design. Would love to play it.

Amazing! I love how you customize every part!

A beautiful build Mark 👏👏 & a video worthy of the expertise in it’s crafting. The is a truly elite, high end, next guitar and part of it’s allure is that it’s absolutely unattainable to most of us.

the most beautyfull guitar I`ve ever seen.

Excellent use of materials! Design is very unique as well. Nice work! Duracoat is amazing paint, expensive, but worth it.

Awesome!!

stunning....Just beautiful.

It s leaves me speachless.... So beautifull...

Much respect! That is a beautiful machine you made there.

Beautiful guitar.

Of the 30+ guitars I saw in this year's GGBO, yours was by far my favorite. Just voted for you. Good luck! 👍

This is an amazing build. Woodgrain finish on pickup covers can go either way in my opinion but the covers being so flush with the body, with no holes for height adjustment really sells the look. Also your editing style / music choice for a guitar build is really refreshing, love it!
