Ahaha. This is totally a pinned comment

Don't forget that masking tape tone to the Ekenabben neck. You know, those upper mid frequencies ;-)

@@arnobilder3475 hahaha, I forgot about that one; since the tutorial came out, I actually made a Masking Tape Tone pedal :D (of course it's a mid-boost pedal)

@@tchiksguitars Haha that's great! At least as long as the pedal itself isn't made out of masking tape :')

But it's the VECNA that gives it the demonic growl. 👹

Ahahaha

NO man. Sound is like shit:))

Tonewood is a fake idea to make guitarist pay more for nothing.

Thanks :) didn't see it that way

Thank you :!

Thank youuu

Totally agree

Thanks :)

no it doesnt.. guitars themselves dont have tones.

It has nice pickups....

​@sirspongadoodle lmao yes they do... u will notice the difference on unplugged elecs and acoustic n semi hollows they all have different tones Part of it being cuz frets on diff model guitars are diff.. and second being wood n the sound cavity

That's it. I peaked at 35. Stewmac commented one of my videos.

If you really think so then why doesn't stew mac sell particle board guitar woods??? You don't really work there.

I just went and read the Wikipedia page about that guitar, fascinating !

@@tchiksguitars Yes, Danelectro was a very successful post-war manufacturing concern that was created to fulfill a very real need for inexpensive yet decent quality student level electric guitars that could compete favorably with fender and Gibson with very affordable catalog pricing, yet quality that was good enough that even icons like Jimmy Page of led Zeppelin chose to use a Danelectro model U2 for a lot of the Led Zeppelin shows where he had to have a second guitar that was in the alternate tuning known as Dadgad. That company was later resurrected in the '90s by a concern that reissued many of the original models to fairly accurate original specifications, or in many cases with some improvements. Even those 1990s made in Korea versions are considered to be both desirable and collectible today. Another item worth looking into was the silvertone/danelectro tube amplifier that was actually built into the guitar case! Those things absolutely rocked and sounded amazing, the only issue being that these days finding good clean working models has become very difficult. At one point in the '70s the Peavey company even released a similar version that was based on solid state designs and that actually sounded fairly good. Could be another interesting project for you, to build some sort of amplifier into a guitar case, out of all recycled/repurposed materials, such as perhaps an old radio or television set, and more IKEA debris, or suitcases etc... ;-)

i own a 1956 danelectro, truly beautiful instrument

I have a '63 reissue, they used white tape to.cover the.sides.

Thanks man !

Apart from that spare screw at the completion of the guitar

Thanks !

Thanks for the kind words !

I liked how he also said building a guitar is easy.

Narrator's voice: only carefully chosen few looked bad, the rest of them looked just fine.

Haha, won't participate this time

The planet's survived a catalogue of major cataclysmic events in it's history far worse than any current problems. Trust me, it'll survive this one. I'd be more worried about tbe footprint of the electronic device you're using to watch this. 😀 Are you prepared to live without your phone or laptop? Or the amplification you use for your eco friendly guitar.(Nah, didn't think so!)

Breaking: A person genuinely thought that surviving without cell phones and powering guitar amps is the biggest problem we have facing the globe. Source? “Just trust me on this one.”

Thanks !

Haha thank you. I hate those. Check out Cranmer guitars channel, he made one of those without using a single drop of epoxy, love his work !

I had to. This needs to stop

Thanks !

Thank you so much for watching !

Exactly !

Thanks !

Haha

Haha thank you. My children are in a phase where they're unaffected by the things I do, but hopefully someday they will remember all of the memories I'm crafting for them/Us :) that's the thing that keeps me going

@@tchiksguitars 😂 and BTW it does sound amazing! 👍❤

Hope things are going ok?

@@improbablytheguy Kind of! I'm waiting for a chance to leave a country and start new life. I still dream of making guitar and I did my very first refret! Gosh, it was awful, gladly its only mine guitar. :D

@@Amorous578 awesome. I have faith in you.

Danelectro

Haha

Glad I helped !

Durability would be an issue if I used that guitar to gig, which won't be the case. It's more like a quirky looking guitar that I can play at home when I want

Thanks !!

Thanks !

Thanks !

Haha awesome !

Sooooooon :)

Thanks !

Well thanks :) I have 9 other videos haha

I never tried it in this order, so let's see how it turns out :p

@@tchiksguitars perhaps next build you can add an upload schedule into the guitar ;)

Haha hopefully !

I wondered the same thing. Truss rod isn't specially shown, I don't think, but you can see the channel for it under the fretboard here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sNGabJaAkt6dhnU.html

While I do agree with you, different materials do sound different, don’t ask me why, but my friend and I were bored in our workshop and fitted the same pickups to several different guitars and they did sound different, same strings same amps etc. but yes all the cork sniffing with Honduras mahogany vs sapele , they’re just different, not better or worse.

Tonewood is also more commonly used and emphasized when making acoustic guitars

@@okiwatashi2349There's a video by Jim Lill where he tested this two years ago. He eventually ended up testing the same components on a 2x4, and then suspended in air with no guitar body, and it actually had the same tone as all of the different guitars tested. What did have a massive impact on tone was the pickup height in relation to the strings, so from guitar to guitar the pickup height had to be matched extremely precisely for the tests to be accurate.

@@jimbojimson I don’t doubt it. I definitely could hear slight differences between the various things we used, one of which was a 2x4! We were very careful about string height etc. when you see guys making perfectly good sounding electric guitars out of lego it kind of ends the argument as far as electric guitars go. I’m a violin and mandolins maker and there are so many things that affect the sound to say it’s the wood is to over simplify what’s going on.

@@okiwatashi2349 I honestly wish that wasn't the result, I used to be a tone wood guy 😂 I'd still like to believe it makes a difference, but if it does it's very minor

Thanks for saying that :)

Hehe thanks.

Hehe thank you !

Thanks :)

Haha. Not participating :)

@@tchiksguitars you should be man

Oh no you'll make my other videos jealous

Good :)
