I am happy and excited every time I see anyone. Built a guitar and played it himself And I like making guitars too.

One of the best guitars T style guitars I've seen. I think a lot more people like a natural finish than the large companies think.

Much appreciated! And I’d say I agree about the finish. I don’t know why larger companies don’t focus on more natural looking electrics. It honestly would probably drive up costs because most painted guitars are made of panels and not a solid chunk of wood

this video deserves a few million more views

It looks and sounds awesome, build more! Lots of builders never go through all the measurements of everything. Maybe you can do that. Looks thin on the entry of video which looks good. Looks thicker latter even near finishing.

Fantastic work dude! As a budding luthier myself I too felt the shock of “well dang building guitars takes a lot of skill” but you’d never know it by how you presented everything. The guitar looks gorgeous and I loved your optimism in taking your setbacks and turning them into opportunities. Also the risk it for the brisket at the end with the inlay is a great touch. Often times it’s under those same types of circumstances that the most beautiful work is created. Hope you’ll keep building and documenting into the future!

It’s rubio monocoat pure and I applied it by using a white scotch bright pad. Then wiped the excess away with a paper towel. Rubio monocoat, as the name suggests, only requires one coat if done properly. Thanks for watching!

Very nice guitar. Beautiful maple. On my glossy screen, your finish looks glossy too of course, but is it really a gloss finish? As far as I know, Rubio is very matt. Why did you make the trussrod nut accessible on the side of the headstock?

@TheWoodenHobbyist

7 ай бұрын

It’s definitely matte! I plan on adding the new Rubio sheen enhancer to it though. Since it was my first guitar build, I made a lot of mistakes on where I put things and how I tackled problems. One of these things was the truss accessibility. I would definitely do it different next time.

the nut slot on my new tele neck is way too narrow, about 1mm. I’m thinking to wrap up my fretboard radius gauge with sand paper to widen the gap, a sound plan to you or theres other easier/safer way to do this please? many thanks

It really depends on how you plan on building it! There are people who just use basic hand tools, sand paper, elbow grease and take a long time to build. Others who are more impatient, like myself, choose the multiple power tools option. Are you looking for a specific workaround at a certain part of the build?
