You did a fantastic job translating. Not a lot of people speak Australian.

How to build a guitar for $30: Step 1: Be a master guitar builder.

I think it’s only fair that Dan takes what he’s learned, builds a body, sends it to Corey and let Corey do an American voice over for the next video.

I'm gonna say that this wasn't actually built in Australia. The guitar isn't upside down

In Australian, it’s tomato sauce, not ketchup Corey.

If you throw the guitar does it come back to you?

This was so funny. After supper my wife and I do a evening devotion. She was finishing the dishes and while I was waiting on her I played this video. She came in and sat down as you were doing the voice over for the Aussie, and we laughed so hard. Totally hillarious! Needless to say, we watched the whole vid. You did a super job Dan.

The casual roasting in the voiceover is incredible. This should be a video series in itself, just Dan playfully roasting guitar builds. Great guitar, very talented man!

So the middle part is actually reclaimed pine as Dan said, might have been an old bed or something And the acacia is actually wattle which I didn’t know until recently

I was smiling the whole time. Thank you. Hopefully maybe some acoustic projects in future? They’re guitars too!

The voice over and description of what Corey was building was hilarious! Well worth the watch. Always informative, thanks Dan

Never wear gloves using a vertical band saw. It's much safer to not. Gets caught and your hand is suddenly 6 inches shorter

oh man...... that voice over..... "I suppose I'm doing this because..." hahahahha that was funny.

I've heard of folks looking all over for good wood to build guitars out of. I am about to post probably the most awesome source that I found, a thrift shop like the salvation army, I can buy an entire head board and foot board for 6 bucks. The posts can be used for necks and the actual head and foot boards can be used as a body, the only issue I have found is these are usually 3/4 inch thick so they have to be glued on top of one another which gets you to 1 1/2 inch thickness so it will need a cap of 1/4 inch thick for most guitars like a strat, tele, music man, jackson, ibanez etc. 1 3/4 is pretty standard for most a lot of guitars out there, however if making a hard tail version you can get away with just the 1 1/2 inch thickness. You can grab a chair or two as well and use the seat. While it is hard to tell what type of wood it is you can at least somewhat test for hardness by pressing your fingernail into an area of the wood, if it dents it is soft if not it is hard, the two I got was maple and birch. Right now I am working on my second body and its not that hard just tedious. The first build was a Squire bullet strat body to replace the plywood one, it sounds better than my USA made strat (squire necks are made really well) which may be due to having fender single coils rather than stock squire ones. The best tools to have when doing this type of work are: Rubber mallet (I use this to drive a carving chisel lightly in tight areas.)Belt sander and yes the cheap one worksrouter sharp chiselsforstner bitsfiles and rasps straight edgea tool for fine measurements (I use a digital caliper)long and short drill bits This is the tools I used which I already had. It can be done without automated tools it just takes longer.

Really nice video Dan. I've built similar bodies using what I call the "Clamshell" technique, which is using two pieces of wood for the top and back with no middle piece. I just route out the insides and glue them together and cut the the shape on a band saw. Works well for me.

OMG that voice over was FANTASTIC, I almost peed myself laughing. Absolutely the best part of the video!!!

Great voice-over Danno!! Love the accent and sarcasm! I have to say this was the first time I ever laughed non-stop during a guitar build video. Also a great cause for the auction proceeds. God Bless you Bro. Dan from Canada.

Dude, the voice-over was EPIC. That's one of the funniest things I've seen / heard, ever!

That pup set-up is what impressed me. It has heaps of tonal variety without sounding like junk.

Dude, that was the funniest video I've seen in years! Your narration cracked me up.

voiceover was AMAZING almost choked on the 'but i use ketchup'. edit: OMG please make more of these this was hilarious 'i have like 5 routers lying around but for some reason for the neck joint ill use a chisel'

People usually use glue, but I have my own custom recipe - KETCHUP!!! :D

hahahah that's about the worst aussie accent i've heard! but funny you did that because hey, if he doesn't care to do it, oh well.... he gets the best aussie accent you can do!!!

I’m an Aussie and I’m in tears with laughter....awesome Voice over 👍🇦🇺

I'm glad you chose guitar madness pickups. I've been using them for a while and they're always a great choice and a good value. love the video.

"It might have even been reclaimed wood" -Dan

Hey, i did that thing routing one pickup to another output myself one time. It's probably the only way to use a saggy vintage fuzz and a tighter overdrive in parallel, because the second pickup is not affected by the low input impedance of the fuzz (-face, for exaple)! This opens up a whole new world of sounds, really fun to play with! ;)

Dude that thing sounds so good

That was funny as hell. Great video and very cool build. I do hope you will build one from scratch, would love to see how that turns out. Keep kicking out the great videos.

You're a lunatic Dan. That was hilarious!

I think this May be the best video I’ve ever seen...

Best guitar build voice over ever

Finally, someone put an end to the "tone wood makes a difference/no difference argument. It is settled for me.

You guys should go in to production, I really really love this guitar. The best hand made guitar I have seen to date. Awsome just awsome.

The formula to determine the amount of clamps needed for any given project is Every Clamp you Own Plus One.

Great Cause For The Auction. From the heart to the heart!! Cool project, thanks for sharing

Crikey thats not glue, thats Vegemite! Great looking build!

Awesome stuff!! May I ask where u gotten those fantastic bullet knobs?

The VO is got to be the best part of the vid! I'm on the floor

super appreciate the commitment to the bit

That wood look so beautiful don't make any sense!! The setup with the pickups the bridge and the neck parts and everything is incredible!!! The wiring is awesome and like you said on steroids!!! Hell yeah boy!!

That's called the safety squint

Good job dude!! You had me cracking up! really enjoyed the commentary, and video as well!!!!

That voiceover was great. I laughed really whole time.

Oh my God that was funny, we're all still laughing over here. "If you thought that last camera angle was bad, check out this beauty". You'se a funny guy Dan.

This video is old as hell but your idea for stereo output from two pickups is just completely genius.

perfectly clear and concise instructions, thanks mate

"without gloves or ear protection" i dunno what kind of bandsaw you use, but they usually arent that loud, and gloves would actually be a bad idea when it comes to woodworking

I'm also from Australia and loved your video! I always thought that the bigsby tremelo system had the strings go under the first roller, but maybe only because I'm from "down under". Ha Ha.

Awesome voice-over, and a great build!

Nice build and a hilarious voice over. Even though I'm not a great fan of the "Reclaimed Wood" look, the body seems really solid and your additions gave a terrific tone. Brilliant Mate!

Turn on the captions during the "Australian voice over*. Its hilarious!

Looks great but you should run the strings UNDER the front bar of the bigsby so it angles up to the bridge. Itll probably take care of any bridge issues you had.

I LMFAO when the Aussie accent kicked in...Awesome job gents, keep up the great work!...

The TRS cable/true parallel pickups is something I've toyed with doing for a while now. Now i gotta.

We don't have Australian woods but ya COULD use aromatic cedar closet lining. Looks similar, comes 1/4" thin, smells like grammy's Sunday dress...

I got my Acacia wood in the food store, they where cuttingboards in reality but they work very good as a guitarbody I agree lol

Beautiful guitar. Loved the bi-amp idea!

The voice over is basically a pisstake. FUCKIN' BRILLIANT!!!

That accent tho...😂

A cherry red finish on that guitar would look awesome!

I’m building a guitar body out of a free piece of ash from a tree cutting service that was a scrap from a table top they had planked from a tree they cut down. I’ve been lucky enough to have friends and family that have the tools I don’t have. I’ve spent about $100 for sandpaper and bits I needed.

As a person with autism, I really appreciate the help.

As someone with mild Aspergers, (last profiled during 2007) this is a really sweet gesture. Mad respect bro. =)

Dan, have you ever considered a career in voice-overing! 😂

The whole project and video is non stop awesome! Great work

Try the WIlkinson roller bridge next time you're in the market for a cheap roller bridge. They're rock solid, and only cost about 20 bucks. A big plus to them is that you can adjust the radius by cutting little shims out of an aluminum can and placing them under the saddles. They've been my go to roller bridge for years now.

Had to shut off the volume after about 30 seconds and I realized the voice wasn't going to stop

"Body" - "Build your DREAM GUITAR BODY" Not whole guitar + hardware for $30. I think most of us got excited and misread the title on purpose. Freudian Slit. Still a great video/ thanks. Great work/ Beautiful guitar. Watching all your vids Cause I got an Yngwie Neck coming in the mail and I need a guitar to put it on. Great ideas on Yer channel

when you turned on that stereo switch it blew my brains out....i was SO surprised to hear that

Great video and a gorgeous build on this guitar! Huge fan!

Ok MATE ... You have to say Mate! And its Tomato Sauce ... NOT Katchup ..... grrr .... Great vid MATE ... ;)

So early that the video is only in 360p :D

DO it! Build it! I want to try building one once I have the necessary wood working shop. Not quite there yet, it's my dream to build.

Just a woodworking tip for that face glue up and the ammo Dan. Great idea, but it still slid. Adding some salt on top of the glue before you join the pieces together will basically eliminate that slide. You're welcome and great build regardless. Gotta go into how you wired those pickups sometime because that is some awesome control.

Don't take this wrong but you and I could seriously be great friends...guns...guitars...girls...gold...and guts!

The front looks like bacon, which makes it look really cool

I'm sure that Corey is overjoyed with that VO. Really cool wiring on that.

Love your sense of humor. Good video

I WORK WITH DEMINTIA PATIENTS SO I AM TOTALLY ONBOARD WITH THIS CHARITY

Its called a planer Dan.. lol

that is one of the sickest guitars ive ever seen.

Love this build. It would be an awesome 5 string bass Already planning on trying to make it

you sound scottish is this vid us aussies don't speak like that. lol. very funny though.

You guys are awesome...my son is autistic and LOVE'S music of all kinds...I play guitar (not as good or as often as I use too)but he and my daughter wont let me put it away when my fingers have had enough...lol...thank you so much for the video and donating to autism awareness...it is definitely something that the public needs to be more aware of....and every little bit helps😀👍

The voice over was great. Thanks for keeping it clean so I could watch with my son.

Great video, really informative in a relatively short time whilst simultaneously being hilarious 😂

Best voice-over ever. i guarantee it came out better than if he did it himself. after the video ended i noticed i was smiling the whole time. a+

Wasn't expecting it to be so funny. Great job!

Best Voiceover ever thank you!! Great guitar too

these guitars are very beautiful friend congratulations!! 🇧🇷🎸🎚️🎛️🎙️🎤🎵🎼 ótimo trabalho parabéns!!!

We have shelving boards in Russian Spruce at our local Big Box, Have played with them!

Cheers' lad now im totaly Eqquiped to build' this bueaty' -from Australia

Cool. I really like the fact that you demo the guitars 'naked'. Lots of guys demo with unspecified effects. No good to us. Thanks Dan.

Haha, this is awesome man! You've earned a subscriber just for the hilarious voice over :-) The guitar looks great and I loved that you did the extra switching options too.

Sweet! I JUST put those Guitar Madness Wide Range style pickups in a Strat, with the same inside-outside coil splitting! I will have to steal your stereo output option, it's super cool! Keep up the good work.

the commentary on the build video is priceless.

Great impression of Aussie man❤️

Lovely looking thing, even with the chunks missing out of the fretboard.

Not my favorite style of guitar but I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this video and your dubbing had me rolling!!!!! Gave me some ideas for a bunch of extra cypress I have laying around
