Turn on subtitles to learn about my process.
This is the extended edit of my headless 7-string build, with added subtitles to explain my process. For the ASMR fans, I hope you enjoy the sweet sounds of hand tools doing their thing.

I could watch this for hours. Ive been contemplating doing a hand build. Youve inspired me to give it a shot

Fascinating video, thank you for sharing! Your skill with hand tools is very impressive and the guitar is beautiful! I couldn’t believe how well the face cut of the walnut top turned out, in particular, though all the planing and chisel work was amazing. I had a couple of questions from this build that I’m wrangling with for a similar effort… - it looked like you used a flat neck slot (e.g. no angle). Is that the case and if so, did you pre-measure the bridge height to determine the depth of the neck slot? - was the neck profile symmetric (top & bottom to the flat) or asymmetric like the Endurneck (angled slightly from the bottom at the neck pocket to the top close to the head)? - having put in fanned frets, did you prefer them to straight (square) frets? They seem to get mixed reviews… Thanks!

The headless bridges are pretty low, so there wasn't much break angle needed. I just sanded it into the heel. The neck profile is an asymmetric trapezoid, where the bass side rund parallel to the neck and the treble side parallel to the center line. As for the fanned frets, I'm not picky. I like them, but I have nothing against "normal" frets either.
