Great build..........all the best from the UK

Gosh I just love steampunk

Truly a work of art

That acrylic cavity cover was a great touch. This guitar came out really cool, nice job Chris.

Been following this one. Would have been good as an entry into the great guitar build off

Loved all the series

Great buile series. I'm a lowly bass player, and the "steampunk" is not a style that I would buy, or build, this guitar is a work of art. By the way, I have purchased several of your drawing sets, the string winder, and buffing station and they are superb. Thanks for keeping these videos coming. My luthier skills are taken to a new level.

Thanks for your support! IMO there are no lowly bass players. They have always been the under appreciated backbone of all good music. Keep it up!

That turned out great, I'm so jealous of the owner of that guitar.

Great build and explanations on all the episodes. This one blows all of the yesterday’s competition out of the water

Perfect for a steampunk amp

That detail is just incredible...you did an amazing job on this! It will belong in some museum, haha!

This was a lotta fun. Thx.

Beautiful guitar, Chris, and good explanations as always.

It's just stunning. What an amazing build. Thanks for taking us along for the journey.

That turned out INCREDIBLE Chris! Great work, as always!

I bet this would have done very well in the Great Guitar Build Off that Crimson Guitars recently held.

Great, brass nut , I will do that on mine. Thanks Awesome, functional ,alive art!👏🏼

Really cool guitar

She's AWESOME Thanks 🙂

Although I am not a huge fan of the steampunk style in general, that thing looks remarkable! I am amazed by your talent, creativity, and ability to see it through to the end.

Another winner!

That is a wild looking Steampunk Guitar. I love it Now I am going to have to watch the past video's to see how you came up with that madness. Thanks for sharing.

Very cool!! Love it!!

Very nice!

Beautiful, unique design. Well done.

Outstanding build, Chris!

Very nice

Clear control cavity cover was a great suggestion. Looks great.

I really like it a lot!👍

This was fun! Turned out great. I'm a mechanical watch guy so really love the detail of the gears. Clear control cavity cover reminded me of the display back on several mechanical watches.

I Like It!

Excellent work! However, how many amateur luthiers have CNC routers, thicknessers, sanding machines, spraying booths and other expensive industrial equipment? I use hand tools apart from an electric drill, and a small palm router for the neck pocket and pickup cavities. I just make a guitar when I'm not doing my other hobbies, like recording my music.

Cool

I sort of like the clear cavity cover, but it doesn't have the vibe. Maybe you could window pane it with some copper tape; that would complete the Faraday cage, too, which doesn't have to be a solid sheet. You could even fancy cut the tape to give it some style. And you might think about giving the pots a treatment to give them a vibe since they are on display. Great build!

I thought about steampunking the controls more, but I was ready to finish and move on.

Avsolutely fantastic! What a great series of vids. Love the brass nut although the string spacing seemed off - but with camera angles and so, it can be my eyes are playing tricks on me. Can’t wait for the next vid.

Nope. String spacing is perfect.

Yes, nice guitar.

beautiful guitar, youre a maestro sir! i bet this guitar wont be cheap T_T

I'll buy some plans when I am not flat broke! At least the CNC router and pickup winder.

Beautiful work! I was wondering can you repaint chrome hardware to say a flat black?

Not really. The paint will wear off.

Great build series. I have a question, I have a piece of pecan leftover from a bar top. I’ve never seen pecan used as a guitar body. What do you think?

@HighlineGuitars

I've used it for a bookmatched top on a guitar. Looks great. Might be a bit heavy for a body, but if you channel it, it should lighten up.

Alex Lifeson could have used this on Rush's Time Machine tour.

Gives me some ideas for a beat to crap Hondo/Explorer I picked up.

Very nice work Chris. Not a huge fan of steampunk in general, but this guitar looks quite good. Why the brass nut? Just to fit in with the general style or does brass have an advantage over other but types?

Mainly because brass seemed to go along with the vibe.

My mistake. I thought that you meant to have the playlist in the description list.

Very nice! Stop by and check out my Steampunk Bass sometime!

But eGuitarPlans.com isn't shown. I watched the video again to get the web address. Which was just as enjoyable the second time.

Get in touch with Ben at Crimson guitars.....................and join next years GGBO as you make some really nice items and are a proper luthier/builder.

If they can nail down the rules before hand and allow builders to enter their own scratch builds, I may just enter. I saw quite a few really nice builds in this years contest.

First!

Really cool guitar
