How refreshing to see 2 things amongst the majority of these videos. 1: a list of the stages of progress and 2 a far better ratio of explaining to actual building footage and I'm always impressed with how your guitars turn out.

Hi David, Thank you very much. It might be pure talent, patience, practice, a combination of these or good video editing skills. Without making a joke. I believe it helps me to follow specific processes and use methods on which I can improve each time I make a guitar. I truly think 80% of the build and required skills comes from the head. When splitting up a build in specific tasks it's easier to focus on that task and do it to the best of your abilities. And of coarse a video also makes it look a bit easier.

Hello, i've been watching you for a while now, since i am planning on making a bass guitar, and i am wondering how to find the correct length for the truss rod, obviously, if it's too long it just won't fit, but what if it's too short? How much shorter, if compared to the length of the fretboard, can it be? Would it have serious impact on adjusting the neck, and playing the instrument? Thank you for your videos!
@UnquendorGuitars
@UnquendorGuitars 3 жыл бұрын
Hi Andrii, Thank you for your question. I don't know if I'm able to answer this though. My main parts supplier for example mostly sells two lengths. 460mm for Guitar and 610mm for Bass. This lets me believe it doesn't really matter that much, however if you make a short scale Bass you might expect a shorter truss rod. I haven't looked into this in depth myself as my guitars all have the same scale length and number of frets and I have only build one 34" scale Bass guitar, but if I had to guess the truss rod must ideally run from the nut to the start of the heel of the neck with the center somewhere around the middle of the neck (not the 12th fret). At least my guitars are designed like that. There must be a science behind it but I can't give you a definitive answer unfortunately. Even the guitar building/design books I own don't mention this. Good luck.

Hi Adrien, Thank you. I think I spend about 20-25 hours on the neck up to this point if I had to guess. Keeping track of time is not my strong suit. I always start by trying to keep a record but sooner or later I forget. Also filming every thing takes up a lot of time which makes it even harder to know exactly how much time I spend actually building. About the hardness scale... I have no idea... it's hard.

Hi Daniel. First of all, beautiful build. There’s something that puzzles me about your process that I hope you can clear up? You profile your headstock shape when the neck blank is square and then cut the headstock angle top first then the bottom cut to give the final headstock thickness using the masking tape as a guide (great tip!). So the result of this seems to be that the tip of your headstock and the edge of any contour is still perpendicular to the top of the neck and not perpendicular to the headstock angle. I think you can clearly see this at 6:42 and I can only assume the laminated strips viewed from the top of the headstock will always be this way. Yet by the end of the video and in subsequent videos, the tip of the headstock and other “vertical” edges now seem perpendicular to the headstock itself. Where does this happen in the process? And how do you do this while maintaining the original headstock shape. It’s hard to find a frame that shows this on the complete guitar so maybe I have this wrong but it’s a bit confusing.
@UnquendorGuitars
@UnquendorGuitars 3 жыл бұрын
Hi Steve, Thank you for the question and a good point. Let me try to explain. When I cut the headstock to an angle the sides stay perpendicular to the neck and top of the headstock. The 'tip' of the headstock is however at a slight angle and stays that way. I think it enhances the curve at the very tip. I don't know how to explain this other than the shape of the headstock and the angle at which you cut it doesn't effect sides. It's the same when you cut a regular shaped beam at an angle let's say for a scarf joint. Any minor deviations are corrected when sanding the sides. I hope this answered your question.

Из такого хорошего бруска для грифа я бы изготовил два грифа для гитары. Головку грифа я бы вклеил под углом, а не вырезал бы из тела этого бруса. Основная причина почему бы я так сделал - это экономия материала и более надёжное соединение наклонной головки с грифом. Ибо есть недостаток у многих Gibson LP и подобных гитар - в шейке от напряжения выламывает головку грифа, так как в основном на таких гитарах головка не вклеена под определенным углом, а вырезана из общего бруса, и в месте перегиба присутствует обрыв волокон дерева.

Hi Roman, I couldn't make two necks from the single blank because of the heel of the neck. Besides saving on material I personally don't 'believe' in the additional strength of a scarf joint. This might be the case for headstocks at an 'extreme' angle (>15degrees), but I use a relative shallow angle on my headstock, perfectly quarter sawn multi-laminated blanks and a volute so I am not at all worried about the integratie of the neck and headstock.

Cool and nice organized workflow. How does marblewood feel under the blades/saws? It looks pretty nice. Looking at wood-database.com seems similar to ebony, little more heavier and stiffer?

Hi Nick Guitar, Thank you very much. The Marble wood feels good under the blades. It planes easy enough with little to no tear out. Sawing the fret slots was less fun to do. Like with ebony the saw tends to jam quite frequently. And yes it feels very stiff especially when the fretboard is quarter sawn.

How many hours does it take you to build a guitar from start to finish?

Hi adamcramm, These days it takes me somewhere between 120 and 160 hours to build a single guitar. It depends mostly on the model and the finish. I sometimes spend more time on sanding and applying the finish than it takes me to build the entire guitar.

Hi Rick, Persoonlijk gebruik ik geen Nitro finish op mijn gitaren. Maar kijk eens bij TLC Guitar goods die hebben het zo wie zo en is een Nederlands bedrijf met hele goede service en website.
