    Hope that Rhett does a proper review on his channel? The natural resonances produced by this guitar are really intriguing. The platform for the pickups makes a difference. The guitar seems to have its own thing as far as the sound? Didn’t come across as a total Tele clone.
    Love that you guys are pushing at the boundaries of materials, but keeping a traditional vibe.
    Keep pushing!

    It's really cool you guys took us all on your trip. When I just started watching your content, you were just over 5k, having people from Rhett Shull's channel checking out your content would most likely up those numbers too. In a couple of years from now, you will be looking back thinking about how happy you where with 14k being at a totally different number. The number doesn't really matter, it's the fun you have while doing it.

    Thanks for letting us all tag along on this journey, guys…it’s been fun. I love listening to great electric guitars (and players), and although my focus is strictly on building acoustic guitars, I absolutely appreciate what you’ve done here. I don’t subscribe to many CZcams channels, but I find all of your content so enjoyable, that I decided to be one of the 14k+ Driftwood (guit)Army. My shop is a little over 100 miles from yours…just across the Florida/Alabama line…so one day I think I’ll make the short drive and meet you two in person.

    I only found your channel about two weeks ago and have been following the 3000 Year Old Guitar build. I am loving the channel. What I like about your design values is the assertion that to be good plugged in, an electric guitar also needs to be superb acoustically and superb acoustically first. I've been a player, not a builder for nearly 50 years and was coached by a great teacher early in my life to always audition electrics unplugged first. That process has never let me down and for the few that I bought over the internet without playing them first, I have been both lucky and not. Same make and same model shipped the same week can sound very different acoustically.
    This is a beautiful looking instrument that sounds great and from this great distance sounds amazing. No relic fakery and I'm really impressed. Perhaps someday you can sell one to a certain fellow in Canada Thank you for the incredible work

    Holy eargasm, Batman! Chris, it's blatantly obvious you craft some of THE MOST stunning guitars in the world, and that applies to your acoustics AND electrics now.. but your devotion and passion regarding innovation, voicing techniques, and overall attention to every detail, has resulted in astonishing tone, beautifully-resonate harmonic characteristics, and certain tonal aspects that are limited to an extremely exclusive group of highly sought after guitars! Seriously Chris and Matt, you guys are creating something special.. and I feel like I've understated its significance. You both should feel incredibly proud of what you've accomplished, and prepare for where it will potentially take you!
    The amp you were given on the way to Rhett's is killer! Sounds great and looks super cool!

    First congrats on the fantastic building on the guitar, I haven't watched many of your videos but did cruise thru some of the build, I was interested and impressed in your thoughts of the neck resonance and your comments on the differences between acoustic and electric specifically on how you "make" the body of the acoustic sing, my opinion is that on an electric the body construction does make a difference and with your skills on the acoustic side if you took some of that same approach on an electric body coupled with that neck you would have something really special- not to take anything away from your current build ...
