Modern Guitar Build Without Power Tools | Hand tool woodworking ASMR

Having moved to a new workshop, I felt the need to celebrate with a new guitar build. As luck would have it the ‪@CrimsonCustomGuitars‬ Great Guitar Build Off 2022 was announced the week before I started, so this is my entry.
I've become increasingly interested in guitar ergonomics, so I settled on a headless design, based on the outstanding work by Ola from ‪@StrandbergguitarsOfficial‬.
The top is a stunning piece of ash from a local speciality luthiers lumber supplier. The body is a step from a reclaimed mahogany staircase.
As always, I start with the neck. First cutting and planing the neck blank, before cutting the truss-rod cavity. I used chisels and a router plane to cut the groove.
Next I trimmed the neck closer to final thickness using my frame saw with a Turbo-Cut blade. I planed the Indian ebony fretboard down to thickness, then created the 20" radius using my vintage Stanley no. 6 and a radius beam.
I marked the fret slots with a knife before cutting them with assistance from a fretting miter box. In hindsight, cutting freehand would have been easier!
After cutting the neck to the final taper, I added guide pins before trimming the fretboard to fit the taper. Then I used masking tape and a marking gauge to mark a 2mm edge for the binding, which I planed down. The binding was cut from an extra ebony board, then glued to the fretboard and planed to fit.
Next, the body. I trimmed the mahogany down to a workable size before planing the old lacquer off. And then re-sharpening my plane. Next I cut the rough shape, then trimmed the top closer to final size. The top was a nightmare to plane, so I tried removing as much material as possible beforehand.
I cut out the neck pocket in the top, marked the position of the tuners, then cut out the pickup cavities. I then used the top to transfer the cavities to the body, which I then cut out using chisels and a router plane.
Before glueing up, I installed a piece of copper tape between the top and the body. My thinking being that the individual strings can ground into this through their screws. Even though I'm using active electronics, this seems like a good way to future-proof the instrument.
After the glue-up I did the final shaping of the body using mainly my spokeshave, Iwasaki and Shinto rasps. I also added some contours to the top and a comfort carve to the back. I made the cavity cover from a mahogany off-cut. This shaped then planed to thickness.
Once I was happy with the fit between the body and the neck, I glued up the neck, pressed in the frets and trimmed them back to avoid injury. Next I made and glued on some headstock wings, allowing me to hang the guitar on my wall hanger. A veneer from the top wood was added for aesthetics.
My next step was carving the neck. Here I used my previous trapezoidal neck shape. I used gouges, chisels and files to create the headstock and heel transitions.
After drilling the jack, I realised that the rounded internal corner will cause the nut to come loose. To remedy this, I created a spacer that would allow the nut to sit flush against the spacer.
Moving on to fretwork, I aimed at doing rounded fret ends. They're not perfect, but are getting better with every guitar I build. As a final touch I scraped the filing marks off the fretboard using a razor blade.
I went through many different finishes off-camera before landing on a result I was happy with. Thanks to ‪@TornelliGuitars‬ for the melamine lacquer tutorial!

    @@chrispysaid no, just because i primarily use hand tools (they’re cheaper, and it’s easier to not chop off your finger) and when i got interested in building guitars, everybody just uses a power router. it’s just nice to see other people not using a power router so i know i’m crazy for not using one. (if i like guitar building though, i’ll probably get some power tools, like a router and a planer and stuff. im not against them, just didn’t have the money and, like i said, the risk of unfixable injury is SO high.)

    @@chrispysaidI’ve been on both sides of this coin. Started building guitars back in the early ‘80s with hand tools. And today I have a shop full of the proper machinery to expedite much of the initial work…..15” planer, jointer, drill press, routers, band and table saws, etc. The carving, shaping the neck, cutting the fret slots, inlay work, etc., are all still done by hand. I feel like I have found the perfect middle.

    That ash top is insane , any wood can have figure depending on it’s growing conditions, I saw a top of quilted mesquite wood one time that I’ve never seen again sense . Awesome build 👍

    Working with hand tools is not easy but it is really rewarding when finalizing the project! You are crafting a musical translation piece of art. And now this really deserves the ABM tuners and the final look with the blue burst is just making it the one! Bravo

    I can just describe that as a piece of art. Just thinking the amount of time it would have taken to do it makes me anxious. I lift my hat to you sir, amazing is too much of a simple word for that piece of art.

    Nice build. Not big fan of headless guitars but ive been thinking about making one for a travel guitar. My wife said just get a ukulele. 😂😂😂😂 Ive modded and refinished several guitars, done a few DIY kits, and built 4 from scratch. Im pretty sure i could pull this off.🤔

    I know the look of a headless is odd to most, but it's so refreshing having something light and compact. I've barely touched my "normal" guitars since building this one.

    this is a very amazing thing, when many channels show off the sophistication of power tools technology, but you do something so special, making a guitar in a conventional way like this really requires patience, thoroughness and precision at every stage. I've felt it too, but when finished this really gives an extraordinary inner satisfaction... greetings from Indonesia..good Job Master...👍👍👍
