This video is a short(er) edited version of a full 17 part build series in which I go into detail at each step of the guitar describing what I’m thinking, showing you my errors, and talking through some of the decisions I made during the building of this guitar.
Here’s a link to that playlist:
I learned how to build guitars from Robbie O’Brien. Not in person (I wish), but through his comprehensive online guitar building course, which is available at the link below. The guitar I build in the video is my very first acoustic guitar build ever. I was able to accomplish this through the direction of Robbie’s teachings in his course.
The finishing method I used was a Tru-Oil finish. The application method I used I learned from Eric Schaefer. A link to his Tru-Oil finishing course is below.
