- What is the GGBO?
Crimson Guitars kindly invited me to compete in their annual 'Great Guitar Build Off Invitational' - a challenge where a bunch of CZcams woodworkers (and Brad Angove) compete to build the best guitar they can from a standardised kit. The guitars will then be raffled off, with the proceeds going to charity - in my case Macmillan Cancer Support.

Haha there was more of me than there was of the original kit body when you finished that. Awesome build.
Brad, I can think of no greater compliment than this kind of friendly, dare I say brotherly, teasing! It is a testament to the respect you have earned, and the impact you have had, on the CZcams guitar builder community! I WISH I had such a skilled builder honor me in this way! I'm curious to see what kind of friendly trash-talking follows among the other GGBO builders!
This has to be one of the most beautiful guitars I have ever seen.
Great work!
Thank you! ❤️
For some reason I'd call this guitar "handsome" instead of beautiful, but I don't know why....
I absolutely love what you did with this. A bold move going for no cutaway, it gives off a classical instrument vibe while being an electric guitar and the wood you used is just stunning. Brilliant work.
Being following you now for several years. You inspired me to build my own guitar, a Solo, Les Paul Spalled Maple Top. It turned out great. You were just getting going with your channel ,with not a lot of followers. Think I just entered , building a guitar on You Tube, and you came up. Glad to see that you’ve become a huge ,top tear guitar guy on You Tube.
Oof…that tone pot 🥲 that hurt to watch. Excellent build man! Beautiful. Love the top
It was a vibe killer for sure 🥲
I knew I was going to love this video and build from the very start, with the way you introduced your materials! I loved every bit of this build, including a hidden lamination of 'Brad'! 😆 Great job!
Fantastic! Nothing like a new guitar that looks like it already knows the music you'll both be playing!
Cant wait to see this one! Your work is always exquisite
Beautiful! I built (assembled) an LP guitar from a pre-cut kit and I found that daunting - I can't imagine how much work was involved in this build (in real time)! I'm impressed.
One of my favorite builds I've seen this year!
Looks great and sounds stunning. Thanx.
I like the idea of a smaller hollow body like this. The violin-esque tail piece is beautiful.
Ebony tailpieces are the best
Most beautiful GGBO ever man! Congrats
Wow! Great work! You are very talented, sir, the guitar came out beautiful!
A brilliant mix of classic and modern to make something truly beautiful. I wish I had the patience to make something like this
Fabulous build, love the guitar
Man thats so nice, well done !
Lovely bright sound - great work!
Great build man! I really enjoyed it.
Beautiful job!!
Beautiful! Love the talent.
Wonderful sound has this guitar, Bravo Master, that is the masterpiece
Stunning build!
That looks and sounds great.
Great build! Love the tailpiece and the finish especially.
Cheers! Can't beat a good ebony tailpiece 😉
That is a beautiful guitar man. Nice job!
Nicely done my friend. Lots of Brad love going on.
WOW ,such an awsome build for a very lovely instrument...
✌😎👍
Absolutely love this one! ❤
Beautiful instrument, loved watching this video
Welp, after watching going to have to go get some tickets for that beauty. Already have many tickets for Brad's build, plus a few other builds as well, now to add this one to the list of chances. Still learning to play, but would be great to have a one of a kind guitar to play someday.
Wow!
Beautiful instrument.
Beautiful work, love that tailpiece.
I watched Ben Crow's review of this build and have to agree, well deserved first place. Wow! Beautiful instrument.
Great work!
Brilliant, gorgeous, and sounds beautiful. Well done! Me want. ;o)
Absolutely gorgeous
Very beautiful looking and great sounding guitar.
You are super talented. Well done
Amazing work my man.
Nice looking and sounding guitar well done.
Beautiful realization
As usual nice work Brad, your finishes are always great. What glue did you use for the binding ? Also would laminating the veneers work using Titebond ? Keep them coming mate.
Best I've seen so far. Subscribed.
Thanks ❤️
Fantastic work as always Isaac.
Cheers Symon! Hope you're well
Congratulations! You deserve it.
Cheers! That was a nice Christmas surprise!
Beautiful guitar. Would have liked the inner of the f-holes white to match the binding. They would really pop! But absolutely gorgeous and great detail.
That guitar sounds beautiful
Beautiful
Thank you, Sir Bonehead
Gorgeous.
Gorgeous Instrument
Looks and sounds damn good
Great idea
Gorgeous guitar
Fantastically nice
awsome build ,Godbless
Кажется, это самая лучшая гитара, за которую я бы отдал свои деньги этому мастеру. 👍👍👍
A KEEPER! THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!
That's really great. I'm not even mad about the lack of cutaway.
Very beautiful guitar.
Awesome
BY FAR my favorite of the build off
Woohoo thanks!!
Amazing.
+1 for the Modest Mouse tattoo! Great video man
Sweet!
Beatiful guitar.
Nice!
Just WOW. !! The coulour...Mmmmm
Great build!. Brad tone sauce gives a guitar that special sound and feel.
I really liked the oval neck pocket (guessing you had to shape the neck tenon also ). I really wish you showed how you did that.
Ah, yeah. It was a strat kit, so the neck carve continued into the neck pocket. I basically just cut the neck slightly at the body joint with a tenon saw, inlaid the ebony in the body, and then shaped it to fit. Didn't think anyone would notice!
As a woodworker and a guitarist I loved the build. Had me a little worried at 1st with tossing the material around and the veneer, the final was outstanding. Great sound. Is there a way to find out what pickups were used? I would love to build a F-Hole curved top LP shape/size similar to the way they build archtop guitar.
Loved, loved, loved the Brad face!!!!! Brilliant.
The face only a mother could love
Great build, where did you get the ebony tailpiece from?
Did you radious the sides of the guitar to get that small arch or was its just from the block you glued in the middle? Or is there no arch and in just seeing it wrong lol. Looks like a fun guitar to make
Comedy in luthiery. Brilliant!
I swear this would looked and sound better with P90's in it! Awesome build dude!
What kind of paint did you use for that top, mate?
Love it! Maybe a bit of Fano inspiration there?
Good grief this cool!🎸😳🎸😳
Amazing build, and really great general woodworking technique! I've never seen a hole saw used like that... and were those shower curtain rods you used as clamps? Very clever and effective, thank you!
Thanks! You're right - they're shower curtain rods! They're really great for adjusting tension/ length
such a classy instrument!
Why thank you ❤️
Firstly just to say that it’s a beautiful guitar, l am building a single cut with a Birdseye top, love your colour choice. Wondering if you would mind telling me the colours of the dyes and the sequence you used to achieve the burst. Also what did you use to seal the dye before final oil coats. Thanks
Regards
Maurice at ML Guitars
The
that is a beautiful guitar
I think Brad was trying to pick up a few secrets! That really does look and sound amazing.
Brad gave me the extra tone I needed
what pickups are those?? it sounds really good!
Beautiful built! But I wonder how much hollow body vibe it actually has since sides, top and back are pretty thick and it has a sound post. I am guessing it responds and sounds more like semi/335 design? (nothing wrong with that)
j'adore. J'ai regardé la vidéo au moins 4 fois. J'aimerai me lancer dans la fabrication de cette guitare. Mais je n'arrive pas à trouver les plans. Ou pourrais je les trouver ? Elle ressemble à une little sister.
J'espère que vous pourrez me renseigner. En tout cas bravo c'est très jolie
Great work, I`m a bit baffled as to what you were trying to do with the veneer. but, fantastic job, reminds me of a B&G Little Sister. OH, & what pickups did you use? (These are the things we need to know)!
It was meant to be a kind of natural 'sunburst.' The pickups are just whatever crimson sent me - they weren't great #theaverageguitarbuildoff
Sweet and simple yet utterly beautiful. Fantastic. I wish I could try it. Are you taking orders?
I'm planning on making a few of these in spring next year (minus Brad's face, of course.) Keep an eye out!
Bought a ticket for this before seeing the build. Fun little hidden feature you added.
I hope ol' Brad hasn't put you off!
@@CranmerGuitars oh no. It made me laugh, not as hard as your melon experiment.
I think your competitor won. He’s in your headspace. Kidding awesome build!!!!
You're probably right... Although his headspace is in my guitar, so I think I get the last laugh
Other than the staining (which was absolutely horrible) and the less-than-adequate finish, this was a very interesting build. I wish you had explained more what you were doing and the materials you used at each step.
You must have me mistaken for @BradAngove
Without a doubt, a beautiful guitar and masterfully built. One point though, I would have liked to have seen an open slot headstock with three tuners each side. I don't feel the traditional six on one side with this excellent body shape does it for me. Not a big concern. I particularly liked the smaller front bout that you have designed and the F holes. Cheers from Australia!!
Thanks. I agree - unfortunately the kit that crimson sent me was already cut for a 6 inline headstock 😔
I have no idea who that guy is. That aside, this was a phenomenal build. I would happily gig that if I were still in my gigging days!! Beautiful result and sounds great!
He's one of the other competitors and he kindly invited me to trash talk. Very Canadian of him. Glad you like it!
The Brad is a beautiful guitar!
Awesome build, love the burst you achieved & Brad’s face 😂 good luck for the competition. Can I ask, what was the tool you had in the pillar drill when you were shaping the front of the headstock?
It's called the 'Safe-T-planer' from StewMac. Coincidentally it's the least safe planer I own
@@CranmerGuitars 🤣 thank you I’ll bear that in mind
Sublime tone, outstanding finish 💜
damn that might be the very best guitar on the entire planet - i would play the holy shit out of that guitar every single day
Nice build hope you win! Where did you find those clamps? They almost look like the same mechanism used in a caulking gun.
Thanks! They're called 'solo speed clamps' from Axminster. Highly recommend them
Very Nice !!!
The "C" in jcmakesit is Cranmer
That tone pot popping in made me laugh so hard I almost choked. That sucks after fishing all that through. I feel for you Man.
Im glad my pain brought you so much joy hahaha
@@CranmerGuitars that sound it made was priceless. I'm so sorry I know that sucks so bad. I bet you had to take that whole harness out re solder and fish all that in again. That's the worst and the kind of luck I have. I'm impressed how composed you appeared to be after that. Anyway that's an awesome build! Thanks for sharing!
