#electricguitarbuild - Jak na to + styl
I'm a full time public school music teacher and part time woodworker, and I love to see kids digging into not only woodworking, but film, music production, and content creation. Keep it up!
Thank you so much Thomas, keep doing what you're doing, the world needs more music teachers!
What a clever idea. Well done man! Even better cinematography. The guitar building world needs more videos like this
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. That is good to hear because I will be doing more guitar builds in the future
Eyyyy its dan!
A Guns and guitar co-sign is the best co-sign. Hey, Dan!
I love what you did with that bass. Was an original idea in my book. Would love to see what you do with a bamboo and other woods stained or natural colors that offset each other but look great as t together.
Hi Dan
This is one of my favorite guitar build videos to date.
^and this man knows guitar builds
Cz you recommend it, so I'm here. And thanks sir, it's a nice guitar build tho
Thank you so much Tim, also thank you for all the help, your guitar kits are truly awesome ;)
Thank you! Tim is a legend
Turned out Great
Looks really good
Tim is a amazing Guy
TFS Enjoyed!
Sweet axe dude!
Oh my gosh dude!!! I've watched all of your videos, and they're what inspired me to do this build! Thank you so much for the comment it means alot 🙏
@@MakeWithMiles hehe shush
@@shush4 lol wat
This is THE nicest plywood guitar i have ever seen. SSS-style points
Thank you so much! That is good to hear :)
@@MakeWithMiles honestly dude, not just blowing smoke.. when I saw this it had the same effect on me when I saw a Gibson Zoot suit.. look forward to seeing more my man
You mean HSS Style,
beautiful work dude, very well done! B
Thank you so much! Thanks for putting on the challenge, I had a great time participating.
Hey, Crimson! You make the sickest of guitars!!!!!
He didn't even intonate the fucking thing
1 sheet of plywood + $50,000.00 worth of power tools + a cool imagination + good skill levels = a most excellent axe.
Love it !
Эй, мужик, ты крутой! Я не понимаю о чем ты говорил, но руки у тебя из золота!
Dang, look at this young upstart. Young dude going to be giving all these old folks a run for their money, that's for sure.
Great work my dude.
Bro, I literally have a *degree* in lutherie - and I don't think I could make an instrument this clean and with this much imagination. Well done. You've earned my subscription!
Dude, that is reassuring! Thank you so much, i've been getting alot of comments telling me how to do it the 'right way' ;)
Thanks for the sub, it's much appreciated
@@MakeWithMiles I do believe Your way was The Right way, and I'm pretty sure a picture of your guitar is next to the phrase, "The Right Way", in Webster's Dictionary.
damn u probs shouldn't be luthier then
I have a personal vendetta with luthiers, but you seem cool, so i won't offend you.
@@jonathanmonroy10 I think he meant that he perhaps wouldn’t have come up with this concept and this material can in some circumstances be a real sob to work with
Proof that the wood of a guitar doesn’t need to cost more than a shed!
Stunning and plywood don't normally go in the same sentence
Great design, a really cool look. You should make a matching amp cabinet.
Thank you Linus, an amp cabinet is definitely on my list!
Looking great Miles!
Oh dude!!! What a compliment coming from you guys :) it means alot!
I love how people argue about tone woods on electric guitars, and here you are making an excellent piece with *plywood.* Well done!
I like to show this to people who argue tonewoods. LOL czcams.com/video/LDyzABbHcEY/video.html
Awesome guitar, you even made the holes fir the pickups abd emectrinics without a router! 🎸
Really well done young man. This is perfection! Love the whole concept, the Les Paul junior with the Ibanez style make neck. The wood design of the body is just beautiful. Definitely one of my favorites of this competition. I think Tim will agree that you have a bright future as a master builder! Stay safe and good luck!!!!
Thank you so much, it really means a lot!!
That is one of the most beautiful guitars 🎸 I’ve ever seen! Using plywood to create the herringbone pattern is genius!
How this channel doesn’t have 1 million subs is beyond me.
Pretty sweet, and now you have the pride of owning something no one else has that you made yourself. Well done!
Well done young man, you must be very pleased with the outcome, it looks wonderful and must fill you full of pride when you play it.
Thanks Nigel! I was surprised it turned out so well
This is honestly nicer than some of the official builds. Great job!
Oh, haha ;) thanks!
Ya. Like infinite times better than Diresta's "attempt".
I spent 50 years in the furniture industry and I have to compliment you on not only you original and beautiful built but your safety in using woodworking tools. I've seen way too many unnecessary injuries over the years, both from poor habits and from operators too intimidated to stand up to the unsafe procedures of their employers.
Congrats on a sweet build!
Thank you Don, I really appreciate it! I am very serious about safety seeing as I'm starting at a young age!
Give plywood to the correct luthier, and... Voila, a beautiful guitar is born.
Hey Miles! I finally had time to watch your full guitar build. Super nice job! I've been thinking about building one of Tim's kits for a while. You did a great job of showing great his kits are to build.
Hey Bernie, thank you for watching the video. Tim's kits are awesome, and I'd love to see what you come up with if you get one!
Not only is this a really great guitar build, the camera shots are really amazingd
Good work dude 🤘
Finally, someone who doesn't use lighter to fix shrink tube!
I know about a dozen middle age men that would be extremely envious of mikes shop and tools. I’m one of them.
Loving the Makers Love Equality shirt just as much as the build!
Haha, I love that shirt, thanks!
I'm not a guitarist or maker, but I found this in my recommendations and subscribed immediately! Amazing work my friend. You have a real talent for making, filming, editing and producing great content. I wish you well. Greetings from a fellow musician, 'across the pond' here in the UK. ;)
Give your dad a big ol hug dude.
Slow clap for this young man....Excellent build by any standards....
Thank you so much!
Been a fan for a while after being introduced to your channel by your boat vid. I immediately subscribed as we are around the same age and i love woodworking and all that jazz. Ive recently been wanting to make my own guitar so this video was perfect timing. Thank you bro. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much, it means alot!
Thank you man. You makin some great content. Gotta appreciate what you’re doin man. Stay with it
Great Build. Love that you did that wonderful pattern. Great planning, great execution.
I was worried about a lot of blowouts when the router came out during the pickup cavities and neck pocket, but it really turned out well. I would love to see an update in the future as to whether the hardware stays put. Particularly the bridge. The drilling into the grain makes me wonder about long term stability.
I liked and subscribed because of this video! I also pinned it on Pinterest and shared it around. Great work!
Thank you so much! I will do an update if anything breaks, but the screws are pretty long so I'm not too worried. Thanks for the sub and the pin on Pinterest, things like that really help the channel ;)
Made me think of them oldschool feathered floorboard patterns.
Nice carpentry bench saws & planer & other great machines --makes it much easier !

Done! Let’s boost my boys engagement!
Anything with this much excellent work and attention deserves a few million views and likes.
But we're likely all geeks here...
The production quality on this video is unreal. Cool guitar, too!
Thank you , it means alot :)
Holmes that's a twisted sick sixer. Sinister twisted sick!!
Awesome ! This is how a Guitar Build Off should be. From "scratch". NoT from a commerical kit.This really challenges the builder.
Miles, this is my first time watching your show and man you blew me away! This Guitar is superb! the way you got the lines in the wood in a pattern just makes the guitar look excellent so finished. If i was in a music shop and saw that guitar. it would be mine; and you play great too. was that your music playing in the video? I would like to have it. Your video was very entertaining too, I couldn't stop watching it. Awesome my friend!!
Oh, wow! Thank you, I didn't realize people would like it so well. Haha, the only time I'm playing is the very beginning and the very end, so maybe not as impressive as you thought ;)
So did everybody just get this recommended?
your channel must be really good seeing all of the CZcams guitar builders are really liking your content!
The tape and CA glue is a neat trick.

Thanks for your reply. I admire your work and drive. Keep it up and I'll be looking for your next one. ROCK ON!!!
As we say in NYC what's not to like? Superb build! Make more! I like to watch talented people work....
Very good looking and sounding this plywood Less-Caster!!
I just cant!! Absolutely beautiful!
Great, fantastic. So young and glorious talent. Congrats. Keep rocking
Brilliant, very informative and great presentation. Thank you.
I always love plywood body guitar, the mid sound is so good and crunchy.
Wow this is so incredible! Love watching this!
Gorgeous! Well done
Who ever said you cant build a guitar with plywood...?!? Damns, i would totally buy this epic piece of masterfull craftmanship. Love it.
Very cool! Love all your tools and gear
Gorgeous
Damn it. Kids these days. I hate you. A carpenter all my life (72 now), I wanted to make the same plywood edge grain guitar. You not only beat me to it, but you did a better job than I probably would have. Damn it. Thanks so much for sharing your build!
Amazing work. Well done.
MILES WHAT A GREAT BUILD KEEP THE COMING THANKS.
A guitar that AWESOME deserves killer knobs. IDK what kind, but I trust your judgement. Fantastic work sir!!!
Haha thank you! I am definitely going to replace them with some custom ones.
outstanding piece of work!
Beyond words ... that's like among the most beautiful anything I've ever seen
i love that straight neck lp design
Beautiful Work!!!
Excellent!
beautiful, nice job
Nice Build, Great Vid..!! Thank You.

Awesome work
Fun video, great skills, gorgeous build
Blue tape and c.a.glue....GREAT idea! That's why I love CZcams:-) thanks
As an old lifelong woodworker and guitar player it makes me happy to see a young person with skill and desire, doing such a good job on a unique idea for an instrument. Many blessings on you in the future!
and of course you compose great music as well!! You’re awesome! Keep it up
Great job!!!
I love the sound of polymerized adhesives in the morning.. 🎸
neat build , love the innovative use of plywood....very kool

This is by far, one of THE BEST videos I have ever seen, Anywhere, it was well presented and narrated, and I appreciated that you adhered to proper safety proceedures.
I built a guitar similar to yours about fifty years ago which ended up on a good friend's wall as wall decor instead, but with mine I used 'burled wood' over 1 1/4" hardwood, while the neck, head, and tuning machine were donated by my Woodshop teacher, as well as everything else from another friend's stripped guitars.
Wish I still had it, because it actually came out better than I ever hoped for, but since I just bought a few new tools for woodworking, I'm looking forward to building something similar to yours, but in Obsidion Black and Gold Leaf, with mucho clear urethane to protect the finish.
Thank you for sharing your expertise and excellent Craftsmanship.
looks super cool!
Well done!!!
Super impressive! Came out amazing! 😎👊🎸
This is so cool, love this guitar and video.
amazing talent!
Well done ..and ty for all the Fine details..
Your the only video with such great detail
It's so good to see a young man who I'd guess knows which gender he is, and can do work..with his hands..and tools, and build something. To take raw materials, perform tasks, and have something much more valuable than the raw materials in the end. Your father must be extremely proud, I'd be proud of you! Great work! Awesome guitar!! Thank you for the high quality video..love the music too:) I'm a manufacturing engineering and have had safety drilled into me forever. Your use of ppe and safety tools while cutting is great to see.
Watch your plum when you drill. You're lucky the tuner holes lined up in the middle..you were drilling way off center. Sometimes you can back away a little and see if you're lined up straight!
So many amazingly talented people out there! Building, creating, collaborating, making the world a better place. 👍 amazingly guitar 🎸
What a beauty!
Very creative! Very very nice job👍👍!!
