Thanks man. I already feel this build is a success, since each guitar tone inspired it's own new part!

Really cool, I saw the original Danelectro copy build and I'm glad this one popped up in my feed now. It's fun seeing people applying the Dano build process to other designs. I'd love to see more people experimenting with it and even different materials like sheet aluminum top and back or other composite materials. I'd really like to see something semihollow design inspired, just because it would be cool to see it with a thinner, slab body ratrod kinda look. You should definitely follow whatever inspires you though, it's been cool so far!

Hey, thanks for checking it out! I'd kind of like to try out some thin birch plywood as a top for one of these builds. I've been eying the Flying V. I have a few more planks of wood to use up, so I guess I've got some decisions to make!

Good work, but definitely invest in the right paints and do some clearcoating if you're investing this much time in a build. Sounded great though man.
@FrankOlsonTwinsАй бұрын
Hey, thanks for checking it out! Yeah, the paintjob was initially a let down, but considering the type of build(kind of a knock-around song writing instrument) I can live with it. The paint only really looks suspect up close. From a few feet away it looks pretty decent. I have a few more of these to build before I move onto some solid body builds, which might merit some Nitro-Lacquer or some type of danish oil.

@FrankOlsonTwinsАй бұрын
The main difference in tone will be unplugged. When unplugged, the masonite guitars are louder. I like that for song writing and just playing "unplugged." Otherwise, I just prefer a traditional solid body or hollowbody.

Yep, I've used 3mm and it works great. You can also use thicker, like 1/4" or even 3/8" but you have to adjust the depth of your neck pocket accordingly.

Some guitars require shielding, others less so. This one(and the squier I used for parts) doesn't seem to need shielding. It's very quiet, with no noticeable hum or buzz. I've shielded other guitars and sometimes it helps.

So -a hollowbody tele DIY compared to a normal tele --what is the tone difference ? subtle ?--I am building one at present --need to know if its worth the huge effort ?
@FrankOlsonTwinsАй бұрын
It is subtle. You may or may not notice a difference when plugged in. It might affect sustain, but probably not very much. Think of this build like a "Thinline Tele." Mine weighs about what a thinline weighs and I think the tone is comparable. If you are thinking of building a solidbody(such as a normal tele), that might be a little less work, so a bit easier overall.
@nicks.800324 күн бұрын
What was the finished body weight? I’m hoping to make lightweight bodies like this. Thx.
@FrankOlsonTwins23 күн бұрын
I haven't weighed it yet, but it's just a little lighter than a thinline tele. You could make it lighter by making the entire skeleton thinner like the original Danelectros, or by removing most of the center block material. Original Danos just had a small block beneath the bridge. I opted for a full center block for added strength and stability...

@FrankOlsonTwins i like all the process, but this material, only the top and the bottom and the painting finishing, are not durable. Weak to be scratched. Only this.
@FrankOlsonTwinsАй бұрын
@@christianurgese I'm not saying they are incredibly made, or even particularly durable. If you get a chance to play one, you really should. As an instrument you can pick up and strum, without plugging into an amp, they are useful. Plus, they are fun to play and can be inspiring with their unique sound. Some of these instruments still exist from the 1950s and 60s, so they can last if cared for. I made one last year and it still looks and plays great: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bciVaamjt8ixp2Q.html

One thing you could do is make a traditional "Thinline" Tele. It will probably save you about 1-2 lbs., depending on how much material you remove from the body chambers.
