Full Build of my Custom Guitar (second guitar build as an amateur woodworker)
How to build a guitar in your garage, wearing Crocs.
SOUND TEST IS RIGHT HERE :
It’s my third build (first was a tele, second was a neck through bass), and the first one I entirely designed from head to toe (although it’s mostly improvised).
It is inspired by different guitar shapes that I like: Fender Jaguar, Fender telecaster, Ibanez Talman, Ibanez SZ series, FR series and Iceman, PRS custom, D’angelico Ludlow ...
Specs are:
. maple body with walnut cap
. multilaminated set neck with 21 frets (mahogany, maple, walnut)
. maple fretboard with walnut bindings
. bamboo PU frames and truss rod cover (thermo treated decking leftovers)
. walnut control cavity cover, white plastic fret dots, custom walnut FB marks
. tuning machines from kluson; bridge from schaller
. dimarzio pickups (evolution for the bridge PU and PAF 36th ann. for the neck PU), 3 way switch; 500k linear and log CTS pots
. gotoh strap buttons
. 648 mm scale length, 14° headstock angle, neck thickness: 1F 19mm - 12F 22 mm, 9,5 inch radius, nut is 43 mm wide
* edit 1: SOUND TEST IS RIGHT HERE :
* edit 2: I get a lot of comments about the order in which I do things (“why did you do this before that “)
I’m not a luthier and I work a full time job (that is not related to music, guitar making or even woodworking) so my schedule doesn’t allow me to be in the shop for a long period of time every day. It means that what you see in the video is the result of me trying to make things go forward with the resources I have.
I’m a very impatient guy
I’m not a luthier, so how would I know what the correct order is anyway ? :)
* edit 3: thank you all so much for watching this and leaving such nice comments. It started with me fooling around in the garage and my phone and now I got 300k views. This is mind blowing.
* edit 4: this build took me about 120 hours.
* edit 5: if you complain about me not playing the guitar, I will come and burn your house.
