This guitar was completed a few years ago and wanted to recompile this into an artsy timelapse. trying to pull together some of my old work into better faster audience friendly vids. This is a multi laminate guitar made from Mahogany and Maple like a chris craft boat from back in the days. The Gibson firebird is iconic and this is my take on an awesome guitar.
If you like guitar building content and an awesome guy, please like, subscribe and comment on my vids. I try to answer most questions!

That was awesome watching that guitar being built. That is one of those guitars you would be immediately drawn to in a store, studio, on stage.

Whilst I don't like the firebird shape, I have to say that this guitar turned out very well and the craftsmanship of it looked incredible. It looks like a great guitar to play too which is one of the most important factors.

This is the coolest Firebird copy I’ve ever seen! I also love the offset fret inlays! The neck-through construction reminds me of my Ibanez Musician guitar. This Firebird has tons of character to it! I’m a fan of the bird’s eye maple fretboard as well!

weird coincidence - or maybe youtube is reading my mind now - but i have a long piece of old broken furniture mahogany i had planned on using to make a neck through firebird... im currently working on a surf themed solid body electric ukulele with a 3/4 through neck (its an experiment), and an LP junior doublecut (i plan on painting it candy apple pelham blue, which might not work out... we'll see) i like your choice of tele style metal pot knobs... i suppose the multi-piece laminate neck design eliminates the need for a scarf joint... thats very interesting - i'll keep that in mind for future builds.. thanks!

Achava que o braço era uma peça de madeira e o corpo era outra peça de madeira, ambos os pedaços colados depois. Nunca imaginei que fossem tantas partes, várias camadas de madeiras diferentes todas coladas. Tanta cola assim deve interferir na sonoridade. Mas ficou muito bonita no final. Adorei ver em time lapse. Quanto tempo será que levou terminar esse trabalho? Great work!

@avielkharrat5788 5 жыл бұрын

Longer vids with multiple parts and more details are fine too. They target a different kind of audience. I think you need both the timelaps and the longer ones.

I didn't quite understand what you meant by tuners biting, but I really love these tuners on my own Firebird simply because how easy it is to change the strings, tune up, and tune down.

@bigdguitars 5 жыл бұрын

the thicker strings pulled down on the tuner edge

@MrTartlet 5 жыл бұрын

@@bigdguitars Like the tip of the string catching on the lip of the tuner or something? If that's the case, I usually leave quite a lot of string sticking out, so it would be much easier to restring if needed (here are the pics: imgur.com/a/rlGG76p). The only gripe I have with these tuners is that you really need to pinch the string real hard or they'll be slipping all the time (especially the unwound ones). Also, forgot to say, great job on the guitar. Really educational! 👍

Hi! I don't have words to express my delight of seeing this as I don't have enough money to pay for such a guitar, but I do have a crystal soul and music in my head , so would you be so kind and noble to present 🎁 one of the numerous guitars you built, you will build many others, but that one will be in my lonely heart ❤! Hallowed be thy name !!!! 🙏 Amen
