Acoustic guitar from reclaimed wood - 'The Scrapnought'

Video Description

I made my first acoustic guitar!! Dubbed the 'scrapnought'. The reason I started dabbling in the realm of woodworking was so I could make my own guitar. In the last year or so I already made 2 electric guitars for myself, so I sort of knew the basics of lutherie. Or at least how to make a piece of wood look, feel and sound sort of like a guitar is supposed to look, sound and feel. Now it is time to tackle a project of a different scale of difficulty: my first acoustic guitar. To wood I used for this acoustic guitar was either scrapsI had or wood that I picked out of a dumpster. The beams of tropical hardwood (mahogany-like) was found in a dumpster, I took enough to make another acoustic guitar (already started) and a couple of electric guitars. This wood was used for the sides, the back and the neck. The pine for the top was scrap, really 'bad' for a guitar top, but I did this on purpose just for experiments sake. Besides those I used some pine for the bracing and the kerfing inside the acoustic guitar's body. I used red oak for the binding and the center strip for the 3-piece neck. The fretboard, bridge and rosette is made from afromosia. The heel cap en headstock top lamiate is made from an unknown tropical hardwood (possibly also Afromosia). This was a lot of work, but very rewarding. And ,a little bit to my surprise, it also feels, looks and sounds like an acoustic guitar. I play a few quick chords at end, just some spontaneous jamming so don't expect to much lol. This is a long one, I might make shorter, sped up, videos of the different main parts of the build. So stay tuned. Thanks for watching! And as always like, share, comment and subscribe.
