Super clear, coherent and plentiful explanation of every step; never rambling, just thorough and purposeful. You’re an excellent speaker and I learned a ton. I wish more tutorial guys online had your knack for it!

Irish are so humble. Awesome video. Had never taken the time to watch a guitar body being constructed.

Great vid thanks , really enjoyed it . Perhaps make yer templates out of clear plexiglass so one can really see the grain as you're moving and choosing. I guess a clear pickguard might allow some cool grain below to peep out. Cheerz . Great stuff .

Thanks John. This takes a lot of fear out of building a guitar and also busts a lot of myths too.

The way he says “Oi”

You have good taste. 😍 Thats the most important trait for art

Nice project.

I learned a good lesson today, before you use a router bit make sure the little alan grub screw is tight on the collar. I didn't and yep the collar rose up and the router went nuts and took a gouge out. thinner, so the router will probably go all the way through in places , like the vol and tone pot area, if it does i will put a sheet of mahogany on the back to hide the mistake

Nice tutorial ,..................big thanks from Quebec !

I have a problem Huston, I can't keep a center line. It's a disability for me. Math related. Having said that, with slide guitar's, it's far less important as long as you have a decent cigar box collection and some scale length templates. I built 5 cigar box guitar's and I liked the option of having a movable bridge. Lol 😆 2 were a stationary bridge and one was a cut up fo an old guitar. I had a hard time placing the bridge and got it right after the third try. What a way to see what one's made of. I suggest for the harder projects to take some type of brain enhancing lion's mane mushrooms cause it's not easy for dudes like me. Thanks for all the little tips too.

Mister John, this is peace of art. Wow. Will you showing us how to finish guitar?

On the topic of mechanical pencils, have a go on the tracer pencil. Awesome bit of kit. Not sure how it'll be for a chippy but as a spark it's pretty much the only tool I'll replace instantly if I lose

Never route in a clockwise direction.

Work as professional luthier and talk like a lawyer

Hi John,, love your Video,, just thinking, what if you had run your router around the outside edge of the template down to maybe 10mm before you took the blank to the bandsaw, that way you you could have used the edge of your route to complete the remainder of your body???..

Love it and wil treasure it ❤️

Thank god we have an irish luthier to represent the best country in the world🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

Beautiful slab of wood

Excelente. Gostei muito do vídeo

That's amazing...!!!

Instead of routing the outer edge of the guitar body use a belt sander table with the belt perpendicular to the table. Sand up to the line. You wont' use the template other than drawing your outer edge. No tear out.

Can you explain how you did a finish on this guitar?

What about a clear and colourless Plexiglas or polycarb template? With that, you can target the best look ...

why not make the templates out something clear so you can see wood grain as your deciding where to lay it out?

Great video. What kind of tremolo is that on the existing guitar?

Tearout is all part of the process and learning how to not eat sh** on ash.

Great video

Can you make the HSS pickup version of this Stratocaster?

Hi John, where do you get your Ash slab from?

What did you use to pantina? I think you should try salt and maybe something like mustard

Hey, Is there any other way to make one out of word then a single piece of wood, would jointing it together work just as fine?

Your español is pretty good. Lol😂

Were and how did you get the template and how did you make it in the exact dimensions??

Hi. Did you use swamp ash or american ash?

yay i love irish accents

Where did you get the templates from?

We're you from

I want to build one it's cool But I can't I need a place to do it

How much are you thinking of charging?

Not another BORING STRAT build
