  • Last summer I made an acoustic guitar, my first one. I made the guitar from a bunch of free and scrap wood I already had so I did not have to spend a lot of money on something I would mess up for sure. I made a long, not sped up video of the whole process at the time. Now I condensed my entire guitar making video from a whopping 45 minutes to a short and sweet 6 minutes of acoustic guitar making goodness.

    I’m not a luthier. But I could complete my first ever violin 🎻 project. Without people like you on CZcams it wouldn’t be possible. Now I’m thinking about making a guitar 🎸. Good tutorial. ❤️💙

    I’m surprised at how simple this looks. Don’t get me wrong, making a good sounding instrument is really hard but the process of making a guitar (not taking quality into consideration) seems quite simple. No special tools needed, just time and some elbow grease. I might give it a shot sometime. Seems like a fun holiday project.

    • @deepfreeze202
      @deepfreeze202 Před rokem

      There are some specialized tools that are highly beneficial if not outright neccessary, really depends if you intend to build more than one or two. It also depends whether you intend to use prefabricated parts which can eliminate the need for otherwise indespensible tools.

    • @TaylorTheOtter
      @TaylorTheOtter Před rokem

      @@deepfreeze202 not that specialized. I have all of them or have the tools to make them. Toolmaking is honestly one of my favorite things to do. Then again, a lot has changed since I wrote that four years ago and I'm now a piano technician so while not the same as guitar building, the skillset necessary is very similar.

    The first one is the toughest, so much to learn. After that, it gets easier and the results are better.
    Don't let the haters bother you. You can recognize jealousy when you read it, can't you?

    I did not understand anything, but judging by the video, to make a guitar you need a special talent and patience🌝
