I'm just some random teenager that decided to make a ton of cool stuff, because that's what I like to do, and then decided to share it on KZread. My channel started out as AeroTechPlanes, and my Etsy Store OnPointArchery (Since I make and sell bows), but they soon became one and the same, so I had to rebrand to account for it, creating the now known AeroPointIndustries. I make all sorts of RC Planes, Bows, Crossbows, Movie Props, and whatever I feel like making really, and most of the plans that I create in order to make these things are sold on my Etsy Store, also AeroPointIndustries now. If you enjoy my stuff, Subscribe, like, leave a project suggestion, share, and consider making some of my creations yourself. Here, the possibilites are endless.

Gotta love the absolute determination. You'll only get better at it, so keep working on it!!
Awesome
Damn fine job! I'm truly impressed! Most entertaining vid I've seen in awhile, I even liked the jam at the end! I give this vid 5 beers! 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺....and I subscribed 💪🇺🇸
Worst music ever
Been done already
Excellent job for what you had to work with my dude 👍👌 keep up the good work!!
Hey man! That's a really cool build! It looks amazing for a first guitar! How long did it take you from start to finish, If you don't mind me asking?
@fjcomposer probably around 3 weeks of time, but only like 25-30ish hours of actual labor.
@@fjcomposer and thanks!
Where did you get the cardboard from?
Solid build and solid effort on the demo recording!
Dude fir , pine, and cedar ( which are 2x4s etc ) are notorious for warping etc after they are cut. Home Depot wood is bottom of the barrel. That guitar will be a mangled twisted mess in a year or less. There is a reason no guitar manufacturers use those woods.
@josiahlee1982 yeah I know. That's why it was a practice guitar
Micing up a drum kit is very difficult, so mixing can be a real pain in the butt. If only for your demos, a cheap e drum kit can be recorded directly to your computer and doesn't have any volume or mixing issues to deal with. Or you can just use samples, but that kills any of the human swing that comes from actually using the drums. I've been thinking about making a guitar like that for years, but for the neck, I was thinking a pine and cedar composite would give me the best outcome, but I didn't think about using a walnut fretboard. I've always loved how the explorer looks, and yours is a beauty.
congrats! you rock by doing this in they way you did! keep it up!
Great build, I'd suggest getting a full sized cnc machine, you'd have to place it in a factory, source your wood from some really exotic forest, have custom templates and hire a Gibson master builder to help get the feel right on the neck......oh. 😂😂Seriously though, Great build, looks really nice and the switch is actually where you want it to be. I'm jealous.
I challenge you to build a guitar from a random tree knowing absolutely nothing about the wood
Well done for a first attempt!!
This is sick! Well done brother!! Can’t wait until you gather some more tool just to polish your skills. Keep it up
You did a great job using some really basic tools. I'm pretty damned impressed.
Try making a single cut Les Paul shape! I have an explorer shape guitar and it sits about the same on me as yours. Beautiful guitar!
a nice trick to use when glueing pieces together to keep them from sliding around is to use tiny nails. just hammer it in one side, then snip the head off and put the pieces together, the nail acts as a pin to keep the pieces from sliding around
sick af!
You missed the oportunity to play 2x4 by Metallica
Impressive! Basic tools, cheap materials and what a stunning result! That is called courage, determination and perseverance!!! Well done young man!!!
Out of everything in this vide, it is your patience that impressed me the most. Thay being said, a second hand router ($25-$50) and a couple of bearing bits are an absolutely game changing investment for very little money, so you don't have to invest quite as much patience next time 😊
Nice work dude! Very encouraging video for many people I'm sure! I work in a guitar store and have people bringing in their homemade or diy guitars all the time, and believe me this one is far better than any I've seen. I bet if you took it to a guitar tech they'd be able to fix up that nut and the frets for you, hopefully get it playing even better. Or have a go yourself! Hope to see you make another one in future, you're gonna go far dude!
This is a great video to watch ,hopefully one fay you can be a master builder for.fender or gibson or better yet making your own guitars
Good Job! , the only thing I could help you is with the demo, I dont know if you are using a DAW, but I would put a limiter and a EQ on the drum part
👍
About 10 years ago, I made a bass guitar out of a construction-grade 4x4 and some maple from Home Depot, and it's held up well. Yours turned out well, especially for a first effort!
Amazing. Consider that professional builders also make mistakes so don't feel bad about it, you have now an unique guitar. Best part is that you can improve it on a budget: 1) CA glue on frets and new fretjob 2)sanding and refinishing several times until surface gets shiny 3)nutjob. Even you can try light sanding to the neck to make it slim. Keep going, next stop a Flying V
Did you radius the fretboard at all?
@@diabeticmonkey yeah it's got a 12" radius
You did a damn good job for what you had! Take $100 to harbor freight and get forstner bits, a router and bits, and a bunch of sand paper for the next one!
Thats amazing. Good job
Cool stuff!
Well done. Please be more careful of your cuts. You are pressing the blade towards your wrist, and your thigh on several of your cuts with the jig.
Very good job. I like the finishing, the overall look.
In 1981 I made my own flying V in wood shop with the neck of a strat.
Brother great video!! I also saw the dx6 transmitter in the background do you fly airplanes as well?
Thanks! And yeah I do. Not as much as I used to, but yeah!
I love seeing people build nice instruments with easy to access tools. Your build looks great!! Keep it up!!
The real question we should be asking is how many splinters did you get?
@@venomtheburger Suprisingly, zero!
Apparently all I'm missing to build a guitar is clamps. May have to buy some clamps. Also obligatory "Roses are red, violets are blue, Titebond II premium wood glue."
I was already interested from the first few seconds seeing the finished guitar but once I noticed that it’s a single piece from neck to body, I was immediately impressed. What a great build and a fun watch.
This is the ultimate "I just felt like building a guitar" video.
@@StevieBGoode Honestly kind of exactly what happened
HOME DEPOT CUSTOM-SHOP
Good job young man!
kid... you just did more with your spare time than most the tide pod eating kids of your generation.... i respect that you even attempted this on your own.... keep building and improving your skills... one day you might end up very well known for your craft
Love this. Motivates me to get out to the shop more and just get to building.
Good job man! Looks great 🤘🏻
Dude had the perfect opportunity to play 2x4 by Metallica and missed it lol
Respect! If you can achieve this with basic tools, and determination, just think what you'll do with more accurate tools!
I really admire the enthusiasm here. It's good to see young people with determination! You'll definitely improve your skills as time goes on. Give it a few years and you'll make a name for yourself as a Luthier and people will be coming to you for custom guitars. No it's not perfect, but for the minimal tools used and the fact that it's your 1st ever build, I'll give it a 9.5 out of 10 anyway. I see all the comments that say "well you could have done this and this with $10k worth of tools and a CnC machine" etc etc, but don't listen to those people. I'd like to see any of them do a better job with a hammer and a chisel! Practice make perfect, patience is a virtue and experience come with time. You have the patience, you'll definitely be building custom label guitars one day. Keep at it. I want to see more!
