Yo that is beautiful.

Well within just the first 4 seconds, you had me a quilted maple. I LOVE!!!!!!! Quilted Maple. The rest is just candy to me. Awesome work.

Just beautiful 🙂

Beautiful selection of timber in combination with non-traditional materials. Verging on wabi-sabi in design.

WOW shes Beautiful

Wow that's so beautiful

Hermosa guitarra presiosa🥰😍

Soon as the oil hit the wood, I was stunned with the silky folds of the quitled maple you chose for the top, and loved the pearl, abalone, and resin inlays used throughout the build. Absolutely gorgeous 💜💜💜💜💜

Very nice

Lovely stuff 👍would buy this over a Gibson anyday✌️

That is a beautiful guitar. After making a few more perhaps I will tackle a Les Paul.

Моё восхищение!!!

very nice ❤

Reminds me of frank Hartung nice 👍

Does quilt maple become that way because of the way it's cut from the tree / rough timber? Thank you 🤓 what was your final grit # on the maple, just before the stain?

Best LP so far!

To spread glue use a rubber ink roller. Very cheap and works extremely well

Gorgeous guitar. Not sure I would have done a seam on top of a seam though

I'm wondering why you water down your titebond? Is it for better coverage? . Also what an awesome build

sweet

Taku Sakashta vibe :o)

Leso Paulo Tokaaaa..... Soo Dissu NAYYYYY...!!!

супер!!!молодец!!!!

First watching this, I didnt get it. Then at around 19:50 I saw it and figured it out. That is one beautiful guitar.

At the end of the build I was going to say, How does it play? LesPaul is a No. 1 guitar 🎸 👍

What kind of a finish was that?

キルトっていいよな～。

Sono guitar wa utskushi desu. Watakushi wa sore to onaji ga hoshii desu yo!

nice build, but some strange working practices, i normally finish the neck completely before gluing to the body.

Why do you use water when glueing parts together?

To fit in better with the wood

i'd like to see a solid top cap instead of 2 pieces. you don't see that often. maybe because of the extra time it would take. i guess that's why it became acceptable to have a line running down the middle of the guitar. my personal opinion is it doesn't look good. it takes away from the quality and the overall aesthetics. i feel like if you're building a high quality one off doing a solid cap would be one way you could set yourself apart from everyone else. this guitar is gorgeous though :)

The two piece tops come from the bookmatched backs of violins, and because sold guitars don't really rely on on the woods used to channel tone (violins have one piece tops) the aesthetic of the book match took off (often called fiddleback) people like symmetry 🙂

Good job, wonder what it weighs?

Lol I'm back again 🎉

I’ve purchased quite a few enthusiast made guitars in the past, and while they were all beautiful in some way, they amounted to nothing more than guitar shaped furniture. For some reason each one had poor intonation and warps in the neck. There’s definitely a real science involved in building a functioning guitar rather than just making one.

Very interesting comment… 👍 I also wonder sometimes if all those uber beautiful guitars, especially the ones that win contests like the Great Guitar Build Off, actually also sound as nice on stage or in a studio. The builder’s craftsmanship, passion, creativity and attention to detail are always admirable and great to watch, no question.

Consider commentary

Not a huge Quilt lover. Much prefer Flame or Spalt. The craftsmanship is undeniable. Gibson doesn't build them this nice. They rush them through and their quality control is not as stringent as it should be.

I really like the wood chosen for the project. As a traditionalist, you almost lost me with the eurothene pour but it turned out a nice accent to the guitar and made it personalized to you, so good on ya. For me, I think the real let down was in the sound of the guitar. It didn't sound even close to an Epiphone or a real Gibson and after all that work and the body turning out so beautifully it was disappointing to have that result just because of a little attention to detail. With the right pick-ups and better electronics set of splits I think your guitar could sound at least far superior to an Epiphone...it would just depend on the glue you used. Personally I would have used a hide glue to provide a much better resonance within the guitar but live and learn. There is always the next ES 335 OR ES 339 OR 359 that you can build next. Keep up the good work. Your young & this coukd be your career for a lifetime.

The guitar sounds fantastic All top wood and hardware and pickups. You do not know what you are talking about.

👍🇺🇦💪

The hole in the headstock ruins the guitar. It should be the correct shape with a different logo. A Les Paul has an undeniable shape. Don't change it.

Really need talking over the video.

Your guitar is beautiful, the sound is terrible. I can only guess that it’s recorded badly.

I must say I starting watching this video and I hate it when the person making the video can't even talk about what they are doing. I'm going to go ahead and watch this, and maybe make another comment at the end of it. The start of it leaves a lot to be desired, sorry.

Your building is better than your playing.

Gibson doesn't have anything on this dude, art work and playability
