Sound Check with Rick Molloy | Project Mehr | Guitar Build Log Part 9 (Finale)

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This is the moment you have all been waiting for. We've reached the Finale of Project Mehr and we're going to actually play some guitar. In this video Rick Molloy of Celestial Instruments (viewer, and member of my Discord server) takes my guitar for a test drive. We talk about the overall build quality, test out some tones, and discuss areas that I could improve in my next build.
This has been an insanely long but rewarding journey to get to this point. I just want to say thank you to all the viewers, subscribers, facebook groups, discord and patreon members who helped me see this guitar across the finish line. I honestly couldn't have done it without your help and support. Thank you!

    Thanks for taking this all the way to completion and sharing it, I've learned so much! The guitar turned out beautiful. I hope you keep on making guitars and videos, I would really like to see you tackle an angled headstock build and an archtop to push the limits even further. I still can't believe how smooth this project went, you're a great craftsman.

    The gift box video was the first video of yours I saw and it is exactly what a beginner like me needed to get started. I think by me struggling through trying to make a cam file first helped a lot. I was familiar slightly.

    Thanks man! We couldn't really capture the true sound of it with this setup, but it gave a pretty good demonstration of the differences between the pickups etc. In reality it sounds much more alive :)

    How is the intonation?

    It's dead on between the open note and 12th fret note. But there are a couple frets here and there that are a little sharp or flat. The action on the high E and low E is 1.5-2mm

    @@austinshaner could that pitch deviation be the accuracy of your CNC x or Y axis?

    Жыл бұрын

    @Waya Hedia likely not, because if my axis was not calibrated right, all it would do is shorten or stretch the scale length, so that would be compensated for at the saddle. More likely my fretwork sucked. Most of the problems with this guitar are with the frets/nut. So I think most of it can be fixed with a little elbow grease.
