Hello, I am Dan with Orbital Guitars and I like to make guitars based around interesting pieces of wood, or hardware, or other more abstract concepts that inspire me. Stick around to see what I come up with.
is there a reason why you didnt buff and polish the top?

I have to say you've built yourself an instrument that would cost about 50,000 from PRS. Your woodworking skills are tremendous. Thanks for posting this.

Did you not sand out the orange peeling after the finish was sprayed?? Other than that questions, sick build mate!

Beautiful guitar - a real work of art. Great to see all the different stages in detail.

Looks great, but it must be heavy, PRS's are thinner than Les Paul's to cut down on the uncomfortable weight.I rounded over my tone, volume, switch recesses because that is the way some of the more expensive PRS's were, and frankly I thought the Knobs didn't look good inside a fairly large crater.

Brilliant build & true luthier, your hard work paid off well done 👍 Where can I get templates from? Did you use 2 colours on body?

was very disappointed to see that you didn't machine the screws from a block of aluminum. Is this even a custom build??

just kidding -- this was amazing to watch. Did you work for a builder at some point? How did you learn to do this?

You need to work on your finishing skills but otherwise an amazing build. You can see the orange peel in the light being reflected while you're playing. Such a nice guitar deserves a quality finish.

Yes, I'll build one too. But first I have to go spend 10 thousand dollars on wood working equipment.

I can't afford american fenders, which was my reason for getting into guitar building! I have access to really nice CNC at my local Woodworkers Guild and have been working files for PRS and Gibson style carved tops. Have a plan to make a custom 24 sometime in the next year!

hey, your inlay and fretwork are really good, you made everything look super neat, and the work with that truss rod cover was sweet. I was wondering why you didn't cut and buff the finish on the body though, cause that burl looks really good as is, but it might look better under a smoother finish. your fretwork is also amazing, and I'm actually really impressed by the way you filled the fret ends. all in all, amazing build

Everything looked great! Only remark i will make is the final lacquer layer. I could see a lot of orange peel. It might be the spray-can. Anyway, you could buff it out for a much smoother final look.

Great job. It must be so satisfying to sit down and play the guitar you built. Beautiful woods in the hands of a fine craftsman. Bravo sir.

Anyone watching this build who has bever built a guitar should know that this guy _goes for it._ It's a testament to his confidence and skill that he approaches the processes as he does. Those small captions where he notes that he's doing something "the hard way" are indeed true. The whole build was very gutsy. Lots of potential for error/scrap. Pretty amazing.

Here's a frustrating thing I have recently come to see. I've been building guitars for a few years, and until recently, the physical dimensions of parts and hardware didn't really occupy my mind all that much. But now... Truss rods in particular seem stupidly designed. Too many minute differences in size along the entire assembly, such that you can't simply use for example a 1/4" cutter from end to end to make the channel? Why is the barrel .025" wider than three rest of the assembly? Who knows? Why are tuner posts 25/64" when they could just be 3/8"? Why don't tuning machines with extruded bosses instead of screw lobes not come with a drill template for those damnable things? Why are those flush mount neck bolt washers 19/32" when they could just .5"? There are probably more eccentricities to do with parts, and who knows, maybe I just haven't seen everything that's out there. I'm not conspiratorially minded, but am I crazy for thinking this feels a but like gate keeping? By whom I know not, btw. Tell me I'm crazy if you think so lol
