Custom Electric Guitar Commission | Full Build Process

Video Description

*From hobby project to dream guitar build* When I started building guitars, I never meant for it to turn into anything more than a hobby - a fun way to spend time doing something with my collection of hand tools, while also serving as a creative outlet. It’s only when enquiries for custom guitars started hitting my inbox that I considered building guitars for other people. This video showcases the process of building my first commissioned custom electric guitar. After many discussions with the client and many revisions, we agreed to a design that is more traditional than I would normally build, while still following the clean design aesthetic that I strive for in my work. This video shows the process of building that guitar, using both hand tools as well as the new electric additions to my workshop. *Specs:* - Mahogany neck and body - 25” scale length - Indian ebony fretboard with custom aluminium inlays - Custom pickguard - Machine screw bolt-on neck - Häussel Hot P90 Neck and HOT HB Bridge pickups - Schaller tuners - ABM Bridge *Timestamps:* 0:00 - Intro 0:08 - Fretboard 3:57 - Fret markers 6:28 - Neck 11:34 - Join neck and fretboard 14:42 - Body 17:46 - Electronics cavities 18:45 - Comfort carves 20:55 - Neck angle and carve 26:18 - Fretwork 28:22 - Join neck and body 30:15 - Binding and final touches 32:50 - Sanding, staining, finishing 34:05 - Assembly 35:37 - Demo If you’re interested in owning a bespoke guitar tailored to your vision, my order book is currently open.
